PIRATES

[Night]

[classy=infotitle]PIRATES.[/classy][classy=infobody]Pirates are anyone who raises a Jolly Roger whether they commit an act of piracy or not. This is not enough to get themselves bounties but enough to get arrested by Marines. Most pirates' goals are focused on finding the One Piece. A treasure that Gol D. Rogers had left behind. Though not all pirates are focused on this treasure. Some others are just in it for adventures and explorations. Or even some personal goals.

[classy=infotitle]BOUNTY.[/classy][classy=infobody]Pirates' strength and power are usually measured by their bounties. The amount is determined by the level of threat in their crimes. The amount is usually decided by the government, and is measured in Beli.

[classy=infotitle]YONKOU.[/classy][classy=infobody]Yonkou are great pirates who rules the second half of the Grand Line known as 'New World'. The Yonkou's strength and powers literally influences the world itself. They are viewed as emperors. They are strong as an individual and as a crew also. Because of their power, they can declare chosen locations as their own. The Yonkou each have their own territory that they rule over in the New World. The Yonkou do not work as one organization like the Shichibukai.

[classy=infotitle]SHICHIBUKAI.[/classy][classy=infobody]The name Shichibukai literally means Seven Military Seas. The organization consist of seven well known pirate captains who have allied themselves with the World Government. Though they may be allied with the Government, they do not care or respect the government. They are known as "Government Dogs" and are often despised by many pirates. They do not offer open opposition to the rule of the World Government, but are not guaranteed to follow its orders either. They are only allowed to attack other pirates and must also pay the Government a tenth of their loot, though this rule is not usually followed at the very least.

[classy=infotitle]SUPERNOVAS.[/classy][classy=infobody]The Supernovas is a term that refers to the top rookie Pirates, with bounties over 100,000,000 belis. A common trait they all possess is that they have caught the attention of the World Government and have survived many ordeals that have wiped out other pirate crews along the Grand Line. Though they are all on par with each other as far as threat level is concerned, they represent different views on piracy.

[classy=infotitle]CREW POSITIONS.[/classy][classy=infobody]Every pirate captain needs a crew and every crew is made up of many different people with different positions that will make the journey easier and enjoyable.
[/classy]


[classy=infotitle]CAPTAIN.[/classy][classy=infobody]Pirate Captains are the ones who are at the very head of a Pirate crew. Pirating captains also tend to be the mightiest members of their crew, and most of them tend to exploit their strength even over their own subordinates to ensure loyalty; though not necessarily, as anyone can attain the rank of captaincy out of pure leadership or even as a founding member. All major decisions are made by them.

[classy=infotitle]FIRST MATE.[/classy][classy=infobody]A First Mate is the top officer on board a ship after the captain. Mostly, they may fill a number of roles from checking stock to making sure everyone else is doing their job on the ship. He answers only to one person on a ship, his captain.

[classy=infotitle]NAVIGATOR.[/classy][classy=infobody]A navigator is the person onboard a ship responsible for the navigation of the vessel. The navigator's responsibilities include planning the journey, advising the captain (or pilot) while en route, and ensuring that hazards or obstacles are avoided. A navigator is the member of the crew who is the most knowledgeable about the world as it is crucial for the determination of course and direction when traveling. A good navigator has a skilled understanding of tools such as maps, compasses and sea charts that are able to not only travel through the sea but use the sea to their advantage in whatever direction they are headed. While not typical, many navigators have the knowledge of cartography, giving them the ability not just to read maps but to create their own maps of their journey, taking the knowledge that they pick up and using it to create guides for others from crewmates to other people in other parts of the world to know and understand what they are entering when in a certain area.

[classy=infotitle]COOK.[/classy][classy=infobody]Cooks are people who cook for passengers or crewmates on ships. All pirates can be hungry, so many of them need a chef to cook food to fill their belly. The purpose of a chef in the crew is to maintain edibles and crew survival between points. A good cook knows about the basics of all food taken on board the ship and the means to prepare it into something that can allow the crew to have something to eat. This cook also has a knowledge of the edibles and what to and not to eat on a voyage. Cooks also have a key knowledge of the nutritional value of what to eat, allowing for the maintenance of good health of the crew and preventing common sea problems such as scurvy, making them responsible for maintaining the health of the crew, seconding only to the doctor.
