Interest check: One Piece themed RP?

[Wolfy]

Adventure on the high seas? Friends and enemies in equal measure? A thousand places to go and explore?

....I figured I'd just put out there if anyone was interested in running one.  :-)

[Green Goo Theory]

Can't run one but I'm here to see where this goes as a player. 

[Avernale]

No interest in running one, myself, but I do have a concept for a custom Devil Fruit user.  (If that sort of thing ultimately isn't allowed, I suppose I could modify it to not be from a Devil Fruit)

[TFcommando]

I too am interested in playing, ideally with a system.  Have a variety of ideas… a Chinese medicine doctor and martial artist for one.

[Green Goo Theory]

What syste would even work for One Piece?

What syste would even work for One Piece? 

I’ve been in a few with Mutants and Masterminds, which can handle people with simply great skill or with weird powers.

An example!

One Piece Captain Duchess of the Duchess Pirates

A noblewoman who ate a devil fruit at an engagement party, the Bump Bump fruit that lets her absorb and emit kinetic energy.  A toppling table charged her up and her clothes blew off in front of everyone.  She and her maid took a trip to escap,e the scandal and she ended up accidentally liberating a prison ship full of women bound for the slave markets, gaining a ship, crew and bounty.

I would potentially be interested in this as a player, if you don't mind a newbie at mutants and masterminds if we go with that system. I have always wanted to try M&M.

[Green Goo Theory]

Some of these might fall under the "wait for the DM" type of questions but what levels of smut is everyone thinking of here?  And who has a preference for system vs freeform?  Would we all be leaning more towards OP in a different time period, AU type of setting, or what? 

[Marie Reynolds]

I would prefer a system, Cause trying to guess at balancing and keep things fair with the crazy nature of one piece would be a nightmare at least to me. I could be up for a 50/50 mix of plot and smut. As far as setting I am pretty flexible and time period i am flexible with. Though I will be  honest I will have to do a lot of research as  I am only in the  first season of  one piece.

The One Piece world seems tailor made for an RPG.  The Straw Hats’ journey following the log pose was only one rout of a number.  A crew of PCs could encounter different islands, friends and foes.  The log pose itself is an excellent reason to have to find adventure, you’re stuck on an island for a while while it resets.

My pref is to have a mix of story and smut, and even more fansevicr than the manga! 😀.  Someone like Sanji might be more successful in bedding women, say.

[Green Goo Theory]

I mostly agree about the RPG elements of One Piece.  I mostly wanted to ask because the difference between a system game and non-system game has been a deal breaker in some recruitment threads and I thought I'd at least get that potential issue aired out.  I'm mostly indifferent as long as the system used can accurately represent the setting.  Which, I'm pretty sure a d20 one as open as M&M could do it.

The tricky part will be finding someone who is interested in GMing, likes Mutants and Masterminds and likes One Piece.
