A Flutter app that charts the safest pirate-free route across the world of One Piece — winner of the "X Marks The Spot" prize at Ahoy! Hacks 2022.
Demo video: YouTube
- What: A mobile navigation app set in the One Piece universe. Pick a start and a destination, and the app projects a hand-drawn world map onto a globe and traces the safest pirate-free route between them.
- Who: Built by Gyanesh Samanta with teammates Eshaan Bhardwaj (@Eshaan-B) and Chetas Shree Madhusudhan (@ChetasShree).
- When: Hacked together 2022-05-13 to 2022-05-15, polished through 2022-06-10.
- Where: Built during Ahoy! Hacks 2022, where it won the "X Marks The Spot" category prize (Snapchat Spectacles).
- Why: The newly crowned Pirate King has set sail — non-pirates need a way to cross the Grand Line without picking fights with his fearsome crew.
We watched the entire One Piece anime arc to identify the seas where pirate fleets are most active, then redrew the world map of the show in Wonderdraft so we could mark every safe-passage corridor by hand. The custom map was projected onto a 3D globe via the map to globe service to give navigation an immersive, planet-spinning feel rather than a flat 2D rectangle.
The app itself is a Flutter project with a themed pirate UI: pick a source and destination, and the globe re-renders to show the recommended route between them. Along the way we surface trivia about each leg — including in-universe stops like Baratie, the floating sea restaurant, in place of the petrol pumps a normal map app would suggest.
The biggest curveball: map to globe went down for roughly the first 24 hours of the hackathon, which forced an emergency hunt for an alternative rendering pipeline. We got it back online in time, finished the app, and walked away with the category prize.

flutter runThis is a hackathon repo and unlikely to see active development. Issues and PRs are welcome if you'd like to revive it — particularly the planned feature to dynamically plot live pirate-ship positions so users can sail around them.
