Frequently Asked Question
Is the zine digital or physical and will it cost anything?It is all digital and yours to download later in 2023 and its all free!
Is there an age restriction on applications?All mods are 18+ but the artist and writers will range in different ages!
Can I apply for more than one role?As many as you wish! But after a certain while, you’ll be limited to what you apply to later.
Are all ships allowed?Our main focus is the one-piece captains. So, while Captain x Captain ships aren’t off the table, we prefer if you do have ships, they'll be appropriate. Nothing pro-ship…

HEAD & WRITER MOD
Name: Sparky
Pronouns: He/It
Age: 18
My favorite one-piece captain is Eustass Kidd, I honestly find him very interesting and love his aesthetic and how much he loves his crew, doesn't let anyone get in the way of his mission.
GRAPHIC, FORMAT, & SITES MOD
Name: Vita
Pronouns: She/Her
Age: 30+
My favorite one is the first captain ever introduced besides Luffy's self-proclaim. Yup, it's Shanks! He's always in the character profile page of the volume book despite being absent from the story for so long. So mysterious and it makes me curious.
ARTIST MOD

My favorite one-piece captain is Trafalgar Law, because I find not only the theme of his crew very interesting, but his motives overall. It's not often you see a "good guy" driven by revenge.
