Pirate

A Pirate in the world of One Piece Fanon 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. Bandits are said to be the opposite of pirates. The two have not been known to get along with each other too well.

There are two types of pirates in One Piece Fanon, but the terms were only in the original chapter. They have not been mentioned in the current version of One Piece Fanon and it is doubtful they still apply to it.

Types of Pirates
The two main types of pirate are Peace Main (ピースメイン) and Morganeer (モーガニア). These terms were once again mentioned, however they are not mentioned in One Piece Fanon itself.

There is also another kind of pirates, known as "rookie" pirates before the timeskip. It is unknown what qualifies a person or crew to be a rookie, though the word generally means that they are new-comers or new recruits. This may mean that these pirates have only been active for a short time and are relatively new, though there is a case of a pirate being considered a rookie even after three years.

Peace Main
Described in Romance Dawn Version 1, a peace main is a pirate who goes on adventures and does not really care about amassing treasure or fighting other pirates. That is not to say that they will not steal treasure from others if it is there and the chance is open, but their primary goal is usually not to own it and greed is generally not their motivation. More often than not, a peace main pirate sees his or her own crew as their most valuable treasure.

Some pirates start out as peace mains but may have a life changing experience, possibly a great loss or general corruption over time, and become more like a morganeer. Peace mains have been described as a pirate that goes on adventures funding themselves on the spoils of battles with morganeers.

Morganeer
The morganeer fight for treasure and personal ambition. They are greedy and love to fight just to cause other people pain and misery. Even in the beginning storyline, most One Piece Fanon villains are based on the concept of morganeer pirates. The peace main pirates however, only steal from them, so it is safe to say that the relations between the two are not the best.

Morganeer pirates do not see their crew as a valuable asset to them and will easily kill them for opposing them. Also, a majority of the morganeer type pirates shown in One Piece Fanon do not dream at all, and if they do, it is about achieving world domination or something along the lines of that. There are only a few morganeer pirate captains who have an amiable relationship with their crew.

The Four Blues
Generally outside of the Grand Line, most pirates operating in the blues are considerably weaker than those inside. Often, they are left untouched by the Marines because their attention is drawn towards the Grand Line rather than the East, West, North, or South Blue oceans.

That is not to say that they do not have their share of villainous pirates, as even in the weakest of the blues, the East Blue, powerful men. Generally, few people in the four blues have access to Devil Fruits or general knowledge of them.

The Grand Line
While there are individual pirate crews roaming the Grand Line, the more powerful pirates reside in this sea.

Generally, the weaker pirates are often weeded out by the Marines or Shichibukai before they can progress any further. The unfortunate crews do not even make it to their first island due to not understanding on how the weather works in the Grand Line. The Grand Line is where you are most likely to encounter or confront Devil Fruit users, both in and out of pirate crews.

In the second half of the Grand Line the most powerful pirates are the Yonko. The second half of the Grand Line is their playground and it forms a rather dangerously balanced part of the One Piece Fanon world.

Due to the Red Line, the Grand Line is separated into two segments. The first half is known as Paradise where the second half is called New World.

Supernova
Any rookie pirate who has earned a bounty of over 100,000,000 is considered impressive, and can be considered as a "Supernova" (超新星). Each holding a bounty of over 100,000,000, and each member had caused a great influence within the New World, as well as earning themselves much notoriety.

The Pirate King
The Pirate King (海賊王) is the strongest pirate alive and owner of the legendary treasure that was later dubbed as "One Piece Fanon".

The term "Pirate King" was originally a simple nickname for Gol D. Roger to distinguish himself among swashbucklers. Upon Roger's execution, the name was romanticized by the people of the One Piece Fanon world into an actual title, much in the same way One Piece itself was simply "Roger's treasure" until the Pirate King's death. In the English manga and anime, "Pirate King" clearly marks this distinction; although Gol D. Roger was Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy seeks to become the new Pirate King 22 years later.

Before his death, Pirate King Gol D. Roger hid One Piece. It was rumored to be located at Raftel, the island at the end of the Grand Line. The frenzy over discovering and owning such a massive treasure sparked the "Great Age of Pirates". Until One Piece has been claimed, there will be no current Pirate King.
