Re:AOPG Factions: Marines, Pirates, Revolts

Factions are the late-game character decision in Re:AOPG. Once you hit level 100, you are invited to join one of three factions. Each faction grants unique perks, unlocks specific raids, and shapes the PvP matchups you will fight in.

Marines

  • Perk 1: +10% damage against Pirates and Revolutionaries.
  • Perk 2: Access to Marine HQ raids (the strongest PvE content).
  • Perk 3: Free Admiral-tier accessory on faction join.
  • Best for: Players who want to focus on PvE raids.
  • Drawback: Bounty hunters (Pirates and Revolutionaries) target you in open-world PvP.

Pirates

  • Perk 1: +15% gold and gem drops from all sources.
  • Perk 2: Access to the Grand Line raid (the most prestigious PvE content).
  • Perk 3: Free Pirate Captain-tier title on faction join.
  • Best for: Players who want the strongest grind economy.
  • Drawback: Marines are hostile, which means open-world PvP is more frequent.

Revolutionaries

  • Perk 1: +20% XP gain from all sources.
  • Perk 2: Access to the Revolutionary Army raid.
  • Perk 3: Free Revolutionary-tier accessory on faction join.
  • Best for: Players who want the fastest leveling path.
  • Drawback: Smallest faction, so raid queue times are longer.

How to Join a Faction

The faction NPC appears in your inventory menu at level 100. You can choose any faction, but the choice is permanent unless you spend 50,000 gems on the faction-reroll NPC.

Which Faction Is Best?

The “best” faction depends on your goals:

  • Free-to-play players: Revolutionaries. The +20% XP gain is the strongest economic bonus.
  • PvE-focused players: Marines. Marine HQ raids drop the best accessories.
  • Gold farmers: Pirates. The +15% gold drops compound over time.
  • PvP-focused players: Marines. The +10% damage bonus is decisive in 1v1 fights.

PvP Matchups

The faction system creates a three-way rock-paper-scissors matchup:

  • Marines are strong against Pirates and Revolutionaries.
  • Pirates are strong against Revolutionaries.
  • Revolutionaries are neutral - no faction bonus against anyone.

In practice, the matchups matter most in open-world PvP, where killing a hostile faction rewards bonus XP. Coordinated groups will often swap factions to maximize the bonus.

What to Do After Joining

Once you have joined a faction, the natural next steps are:

  1. Run your faction’s raid at least once per week for the bonus rewards.
  2. Unlock the best builds that complement your faction’s perk.
  3. Hit max level using the leveling route.
  4. Join the faction Discord channel linked from the wiki hub.

Faction Lore

The three factions in Re:AOPG are drawn from the canonical One Piece universe:

  • Marines - The World Government military. They serve the Celestial Dragons and oppose Pirates.
  • Pirates - Outlaws who roam the Grand Line in search of the One Piece.
  • Revolutionaries - A covert organization that opposes the World Government from within.

Your faction choice does not change the main story, but it does affect which NPCs are friendly, which raids you can join, and which factions are hostile in open-world PvP.

Faction Lore vs Crews vs Races

The three names come from One Piece. In Re:AOPG they are a late tag, not your spawn. You still roll a race on Starter Island and you still join a crew for weekend Crew Wars.

  • Race decides V4 essences and Pica Full-Body Haki - races.
  • Crew decides bank, member cap, and Saturday-Sunday wars - join a crew.
  • Faction orients Marineford PvP flavor and a handful of tagged quests.

Do not trade a Mythical fruit for a cosmetic faction tag. Bounty farming is its own loop: bounty and Berry. If a guide tells you to pick Marines at Foosha, it is original AOPG, not the rebirth spawn. Compare Re:AOPG vs AOPG.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common Re:AOPG questions.

Can I switch factions later?

Yes. The faction-reroll NPC costs 50,000 gems, so most players commit early.

Which faction has the best raids?

Marines (Marine HQ) and Pirates (Grand Line) are tied. Revolutionaries have a smaller raid pool but the XP bonuses are strong.

Does the faction perk apply to scripts?

No. The XP and gold bonuses only apply to legitimate play. They do not boost scripted activity.
