MEMBER GROUPS.
⤷ ::PIRATES::
A Pirate in the world of One Piece is anyone who raises a Jolly Roger, whether they commit an act of piracy or not. This is not, however, usually enough to give anyone a bounty, but is enough to be arrested by the Marines. The definition of a pirate vary between person to person, they can be the very personification of evil, or simply a group looking for treasure. Not all pirates are inherently evil as some are just following a dream of adventure, and love of the open sea.
⤷ ::BOUNTY HUNTERS::
Bounty Hunters are people who make a living out of catching criminals for the bounty on their head. The reasons behind a bounty hunter doing their job is often mixed. Some are hunting down criminals just for money, others to bring them to justice their way and some for fame. Of course, there are also those who hunt down bounties for the challenge they offer as a means of testing their own level of skill. Bounty Hunters also act independently from other established law enforcement groups and are free to roam as they please. They also have no fixed workings and some may hunt solo or with others, making them nomads at best. While they are sometimes no better than criminals themselves, they are left alone to hunt criminals so long as they don't break the law while doing so. Regardless, all criminals caught are handed into the Marines dead or alive.
⤷ ::MARINES::
The Marines are the World Government's military sea force. They are present in all the seas around the world, although they maintain only a slight military presence in the four Blues by establishing branch offices. The focus of the bulk of their assets is on the far more dangerous Grand Line, as their main headquarters is located there. Most people who join the Marines have a strong sense of justice though just like how all pirates aren't evil, not all marines are good, and just. Some may in fact be corrupt, and simply be in it just for the power, and wealth such a position grants.
⤷ ::ROYALS::
Also known as Royalty, and Nobles, are the Kings, and Queens of the Kingdoms that stretch on throughout all four corners of the seas. They are the lucky few whom have been born with both a silver tongue, and a golden spoon, they rule over various islands, and answer to no one save for the Marines. The World Nobles, or Celestial Dragons; descendants of the creators of this world would also fall into this category.
⤷ ::CIVILIANS::
Civilians are residents with lives in One Piece world. These are the people who try their best to live their daily lives while not siding with neither the pirates, or the marines.
⤷ ::SAMURAI::
Swordsmen who are frigid in their morals, and traditions act as the warriors of justice, and the military might of the isolated Wano Country. These men are considered to be the cream of the crop as far as swordsmen go, and are on equal footing with the Marines, and act as the guardians of the Wano Country. With the Dawn of Golden Age of Pirate, some Samurai have either been exiled, or left on their own accord to make sure no harm comes to their homeland. It is rare to see a female samurai given that women from Wano are supposed to be modest and speak gracefully and quietly. Women from Wano Country whom have taken up a sword,and have become a samurai will have been exiled from their home country.
