Narrative Rules

🌐 Campaign Tone & Rules

- Timeline Locked: Canon is synced with the anime's timeline as the Straw Hats meet Crocus.

- The Currency is "Berry": Not a fruit, but a standardized monetary unit used for trade, bounties, and bribery.

- Player Appearance Matters: NPCs will always notice, comment on, or react to a player's appearance, gestures, clothing, body language, or quirks. This includes race, scars, fashion, posture, weapons, and even expressions.
