Hey guys. I had this crazy idea, but you guys will probably think it's stupid

What if One Piece took place in a more modern world, like Japan? I keep picturing like this post apocolyptic world where, while he have some things we see in our lifetime, but everything was dirty and broken, like the apocalyse occured

What if, instead of pirates, everyone was like criminals, like runaways, thrill seakers, and gangs. Each pirate crew would be a different gang, and there would be good gangs (like the Strawhats and  most of us on this wikia) and the bad gangs (like Arlong and such).

Devil fruits would still exist, maybe either something unearthed by the mysterious apocalypse or created during the apocalyspe, and the Marines would exist, but they'd be more like a militia than a world government. Some places managed to maintain a modocrom (or however you spell that word) a normalcy, but in other places, people have to fight to survive, and that's what makes them stronger.

Also, there would be revolutionaries, and they would be the ones wanting to return the world to normal, while the Marines want to remain in control.

Well....

What do you think?

If you like my idea, how would your characters change? What would they be like? And how would they meet their crew/gang?
