This is a list of fictional pirates and pirate crews in the One Piece manga by Eiichiro Oda. This article does not include pirates originating from the One Piece films or video games. Initially two of the three great powers are pirates: the Four Emperors and the Seven Warlords of the Sea, with the Marines making up the third great power. Before their abolition, the Seven Warlords were privateers aligned with the World Government, which exists in a delicate balance of power with the Four Emperors.
Straw Hats
The protagonists of One Piece are the Straw Hat Crew, led by Captain Monkey D. Luffy.
Straw Hat Grand Fleet
After the events chronicled in Dressrosa, several pirate crews swear their allegiance to Luffy as his subordinates.
Four Emperors
The Four Emperors are a group of four powerful pirates; each controls and protects their own territory within the New World, the latter half of the Grand Line.
Seven Warlords of the Sea
The Seven Warlords of the Sea (七武海, Shichibukai) were a group of pirates based on the privateers, who serve World Government interests by fighting other pirates, until the group was abolished by decision of the Reverie members. The former Warlords of the Sea and their crews are listed below in rough chronological order of their initial joining:
Crocodile
Dracule Mihawk
Kuja Pirates
The Kuja Pirates (九蛇海賊団, Kuja Kaizokudan) are a crew formed by members of the Kuja Tribe, and captained by their empress, Boa Hancock. They are a crew formed by the strongest fighters of the Kuja, including Hancok's two younger sisters who possess the Zoan-type abilities of the Snake-Snake Fruit (ヘビヘビの実, Hebi Hebi no Mi) branch.[ch. 519] The Boa sisters are known as the "Gorgon Sisters", being based on the three Gorgons of the Greek mythology, while the members of the crew are based on the Amazons.
Boa Hancock Boa Hancock (ボア・ハンコック, Boa Hankokku) is a member of the all-female Kuja Tribe from the island of Amazon Lily.[ch. 515f.] Sold to the Celestial Dragons during childhood, she and her sisters are force-fed devil fruits and branded as slaves.[ch. 521] Eventually freed by Fisher Tiger, the three return to their people. Hancock becomes ruler and is referred to by her subjects as "Snake Princess" (蛇姫, Hebihime).[ch. 516, 521] Leading the Kuja Pirates, she quickly gains infamy as the "Pirate Empress" (海賊女帝, Kaizoku Jotei) and is offered membership in the Seven Warlords of the Sea.[ch. 516, 522] Despite resenting the World Government for her past enslavement, which she keeps a secret even from her kinswomen, Hancock accepts the position to protect her people. But when called upon to participate in the Government's war against the Whitebeard Pirates, she initially refuses and only reconsiders after falling in love with Luffy, who enlists her help to infiltrate Impel Down.[ch. 516f., 520–522] The ability of the Paramecia-type Love-Love Fruit (メロメロの実, Mero Mero no Mi) allows her to turn anyone charmed by her into stone and back again, with the sole exception of Luffy due to his lack of any sexual interest in her.[ch. 516, 521] Her fruit's abilities can also be countered by forcing yourself to feel another emotion that drowns out your lust, for example pain, as shown when Vice Admiral Momonga avoided being turned to stone by stabbing himself in the hand. She is also capable of utilizing all three types of Haki. After the most recent Reverie, the Seven Warlords were disbanded, making her an enemy of the World Government again. In the Japanese anime television series, her voice actress is Kotono Mitsuishi. In the Funimation English adaptation, her voice is supplied by Lydia Mackay. Her abilities are based on those of the Gorgon Medusa in Greek mythology.
Salome Salome (サロメ, Sarome) is Boa Hancock's pet snake who supports her in battle, and also acts as her throne that she sits on. He is white with patches of red. He wears a skull upon his head.
Boa Sandersonia Boa Sandersonia (ボア・サンダーソニア, Boa Sandāsonia) is the middle sister whose Snake-Snake Fruit: Model Anaconda (ヘビヘビの実 モデル アナコンダ, Hebi Hebi no Mi: Moderu Anakonda) enables her to transform into an anaconda or anaconda-human hybrid. Boa Sandersonia is voiced by Chiwa Saitō in the original Japanese version and by Lindsay Seidel in the Funimation dub.
Boa Marigold Boa Marigold (ボア・マリーゴールド, Boa Marīgōrudo) is the youngest sister whose Snake-Snake Fruit: Model King Cobra (ヘビヘビの実 モデル キングコブラ, Hebi Hebi no Mi: Moderu Kingu Kobura) enables her to turn into a king cobra or king cobra-human hybrid. Boa Marigold is voiced by Kimiko Saitō in the original Japanese version and by Julie Mayfield in the Funimation dub.
Shakky Shakuyaku (シャクヤク), most commonly known by her nickname "Shakky", was the Empress and captain of the Kuja Pirates after Gloriosa. Her extreme popularity in comparison to Gloriosa led to her eventually taking over the post, but nevertheless retires to open a bar on Fullalead.[ch. 1156,1158] Her kidnapping by the World Government led to the God Valley Incident.[ch. 1159] Both the Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates arrived where they each wanted to rescue her.[ch. 1160] After the Roger Pirates disband, she marries Silvers Rayleigh and works as a bartender at Sabaody Archipelago. Shakuyaku is voiced by Hiromi Tsuru in the original Japanese version, Masumi Asano in Episode 870 of the original Japanese version, and by Elizabeth Maxwell in the Funimation dub.
Gloriosa Gloriosa (グロリオーサ, Guroriōsa), more commonly referred to as "Elder Nyon", is a short elderly woman who was the Empress of Amazon Lily and the captain of the Kuja Pirates approximately 60 years before current events. She also was a member of the Rocks Pirates. She fell in love with Gol D. Roger, only to leave behind her post and subsequently the country after his rejection in favor of Shakuyaku.[ch. 1156] Gloriosa is voiced by Ako Mayama in the original Japanese version and by Nancy Sherrand in the Funimation dub.
