One Piece's version of heaven and hell, huh? Alright, I'll do it.

The Pirates who die go to the afterlife, to wait for their comrades, so they can party and adventure on for all of eternity.

The marines who die go to the afterlife, to sail around and try to stop the pirates from wreaking havoc in the afterlife.

The civilians who pass on lead regular afterlives like that had before.

Not very good, but hey, that's what I think.
