**World Government**: Cipher Pol, Navy/Marines

The Navy is the largest military operation in the world, and hosts many of the world's soldiers who seek to restore the order lost in the chaos that ensued after the death of the late fleet admiral

While remaining the largest, most widespread, and most powerful singular entity in the world, the World Government's forces have become strained by the secession of many member states and marines within the New World who have formed the state of Aont Okorr, a self-proclaimed 'righteous' entity that declared fault in the leadership of the Celestial Dragons, viewing them as both arrogant and weak.

**Aont Okorr:** Seceded former WG-Affiliates + The Sacred Band (Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Yellow Dragon)

Aont Okorr consists of some member states of the World Government that seceded alongside a host of marine troops after the death of Fleet Admiral. They are not revolutionaries, rather being a full-separate state entity that challenges the authority of the current world government. However, they maintain this under the impression that they are to become the next government of the world, thus putting them in conflict with both the revolutionary army, and all manner of pirates and criminals alongside the World Government.

**Revolutionary Army:**

The Revolutionary Army seeks to uproot the foundation of the World Government and install one that sees equality and fairness established across the world. They fight for this cause that they see as righteous, and there are members of revolutionary cells loosely organized in a hierarchy across the world.

The Revolutionary Army was intent on joining forces with Aont Okorr, however they were unexpectedly rejected as Aont Okorr maintained a stance that views them as a terrorist cell that cannot function in a peaceful and orderly state, whether or not this may be true.

**Pirates:**

Pirates are the most diverse faction across the world, with a myriad of captains and their crews setting sail in search of glory and riches. There is no set moral code amongst pirates, with groups differing in their values wildly, and they are not a singular entity either, with much of the conflict pirates see being against other pirate groups.

**Warlords:**

The Warlords of the Sea are a group of distinct pirate groups/entities that have been hired by the World Government, who ask for their participation in the hunting of pirates and protection of the government in return for being granted amnesty for their crimes, as well as allowance of authority within their small pockets of territory. They are most often reputable pirates, given the position as they would instill fear in the masses by their presence, and have a reputation of being able to be of use to the government.

**Emperors:**

The Emperors of the Sea, also known as the **Yonko**, are a group of four distinct pirate groups that have gained notoriety due to their power and influence throughout the New World, designated as the highest-level threats of pirates in the world, and boasting some of the most powerful crews as well, often spearheaded by a particularly powerful and charismatic captain.

**Eden:**

A Kingdom of Bounty Hunters, Mercenaries, and Assassins that contracts exclusively with the World Government. Their existence is mythological in status, being heard only in whispers, them producing some of the highest quality operatives within these three fields in the world. While this claim may not see all of those proficient in these fields herald from Eden, many other groups in this field take on the form of companies and organizations rather than being fully organized as a Kingdom.

They have been linked to the World Government by those who do know of them, due to their sole customer being the WG.
