The Canon Alteration Project:

Principles:
 * Rework of the 21 most important characters
 * Establishment of community characters.
 * Alteration of canon events
 * Deletion of all canon events post Marineford War.
 * Keeping canon mostly "intact" pre marineford war.
 * Deletion of the strawhats existence.
 * Retconning the straw hat's changes and influences to other forces and entities.
 * Establishment of the Canon Committee which purpose is to solve problems related to the new canon.

Canon rewritting
The most controversial of the topics of discussion that will arise, and also the most fundamental of the changes.

What I propose is a complete deletion of all canon after the marineford war and the continuous existence of all canon before it. What this entails is that everything that occurs after the marineford war now falls under the jusridiction of the entire community, and everything that happened before it remains constant even if the characters that participated in the events may not.

What this means is that everything that occured before the marineford war will always hold as an abolute truth in the stories we create but the details of who did what no longer matter, and if it does matter who did it it falls upon the Canon Committee to solve the issue ideally by the means of a community character.

Problems and solutions
This change shouldn't bring about many problems, as everything that held truth before the timeskip should still hold true. Events that require certain characters to participate in would then be solved by the reworking of the characters in question.

Any such problems that arise from this project should be sent to the new Canon committee.

Pros
Allows us a lot more freedom in all of our works and stops the problem of constant devil fruit and character deletion because of Oda revealing new devil fruits and characters.

Character Rework
One of the most crucial parts of this project would be the rework of the most important figures in one piece: The Gorosei (5), The Admirals (3), The Fleet Admiral (1), The Commander-in-Chief (1), The Yonko (4) and the Sichibukai (7). Totaling in 21 new characters to be reworked.

These reworks would be carried out by users voted upon by the community and be bestowed upon the category of a Community Character, this makes them characters that can be altered by the community to serve the needs of specific users and stories, these changes should also be only added if a majority of the community agrees to them.

The users who had the task of reworking these characters keep no rights over the character once their rework is deemed complete.

Problems and solutions
Because the characters would be reworked entirely the specific problems that would arise between user created characters and their interactions with the now nonexistent characters would have to be solved by a simple name change or a more in depth solution.

This would constitute the bulk of the work for the new Canon Committee, who would exist to help sort out these new conflicts.

Pros
By establishing the most important figures of the world of one piece as community character we enable everyone to be able to interact with them without breaking canon.

It also enables every user to further interact with the works of the other users by all playing a part in the creation of the most important characters.

Deletion of the Straw Hats
Quite simply I propose we eliminate the straw hats from history and simply make all their actions be the consequence of other forces and entities and not a random crew protected by plot armor.

Cons
None.

Pros
Impossible to measure freedom.

Canon Committee
As it should be clear by now, the existence of a new committee would be necessary to move this project forward, its job as explained before would be to solve all the problems that the project would create and even alter the project accordingly.

It would also be the new canon's committee jobs to establish rules to better help the community, rules that would directly be related to the project of course.

Such rules would include so far:
 * Liberation of all devil fruits revealed post time skip back to the community.
