BEASTS PIRATES CREW

Beasts Pirates

The Beasts Pirates[4] are an extremely infamous and powerful pirate crew led by Kaidou of the Four Emperors. They are based in Wano Country, specifically headquartered on Onigashima.[5][6]

For the past 25 years, the crew consolidated its power in Wano, which they occupied through an alliance with the country's shogun, Kurozumi Orochi.[5][7] In the present time, the Beasts Pirates have entered into a new alliance with the Big Mom Pirates, another Emperor crew, for plans to conquer the world;[8] these plans, per Kaidou's "New Onigashima Project", eventually saw Orochi be deemed unnecessary and disposed of by Kaidou during the latest Fire Festival.[9]

Due to their actions and role, they are the main antagonists of the Zou Arc and Wano Country Arc, and one of the central antagonist groups of the Four Emperors Saga.

Jolly Roger

The crew's Jolly Roger consists of a skull placed centrally above four intersected crossbones (one vertical, one horizontal, and a diagonal pair, similar to the Blackbeard Pirates's flag). The skull is leaner than the traditional shape, mildly frowning based on its narrowed eye sockets, has upward-curving horns like Kaidou's, and is further flanked left and right by two long rectangles that are slightly bent into outward-facing arcs, set behind the horns and crossbones. Initially seen depicted as white,[10] the rectangles are colored lavender on the sails of Queen's ship.

Organization

Overview

The Beasts Pirates are a massive pirate organization; a roughly 20,000-strong[12] army organized along simple yet strict hierarchical lines, effectively able to operate as a massive fleet. Kaidou as the Governor-General (総督 Sōtoku?, VIZ Media: "Supreme Commander")[13] is at the top holding complete dominance over everyone. Directly below him rank his three executive officers (the All-Stars or "Calamities") to whom a large number of second-ranking officers (the Shinuchi) answer. The latter are spearheaded by a select few: the Tobiroppo, who are the strongest among them. The bottom ranks, comprised of legions of rank and file, are further grouped into three divisions: the roughly 500 "elite" Gifters (all granted Artificial Zoan powers in Kaidou's efforts to create the world's strongest crew made up entirely of Devil Fruit users),[14][15][16][17] roughly nine times as many Pleasures (those who have failed to gain abilities from eating Artificial Zoan fruits), and finally the lowest-level foot soldiers (and presumably the most numerous) called Waiters (those who await their chance to get Artificial Zoan powers).[16] The Numbers (artifical imitations of the ancient giant race) are yet another special group, although where precisely, if at all, they fit into the hierarchy is unknown;[18] however, at least one, worked under Black Maria, one of the Tobiroppo.

To bolster his forces, Kaidou is ever on the lookout for strong new fighters to forcibly recruit, most notably seeming to target distinguished New World pirate captains, whose crews will see themselves fully subsumed into the Beasts Pirates over time. Of desired recruits, those that willingly submit to Kaidou are gladly welcomed, whereas those that resist and stand against him are crushed, captured, and then continuously tortured and forced into penal labor until their spirit breaks and they submit as well.[20][21]

Three crews led by members of the Worst Generation — the Drake Pirates,[22] On Air Pirates,[23] and Hawkins Pirates[24] — have at one point been subordinate to the Beasts Pirates, with X Drake[25] and Basil Hawkins[24] serving as Shinuchi (Drake formerly so, and having also been one of the Tobiroppo, who count at least two other ex-pirate captains among them),[26][27] and Apoo acting as an "informant".

The Beasts Pirates follow a strength-based system of meritocracy wherein crew members will rank higher the greater their fighting ability. It is possible, even encouraged, among them to challenge those holding a higher post than theirs in order to take it from them; this is shown with the Tobiroppo, who, with Kaidou's assent, may fight an acting All-Star and, in case of victory, take their spot. The reverse holds true as well, where especially the upper ranks may seek to eliminate those ranked below them if they feel like it, as shown with Queen expressing his intent to kill one of the Tobiroppo and create an open seat (though this turned out to be due to Drake's treachery). As a result of this system, an air of very outright hostility is generated in the crew, especially among higher-ups, where those of the same rank may see themselves as rivals or those differing in rank may seek to kill (and replace) one another. Some may show no interest in answering to their superiors due to viewing them as mere obstacles to their aims of moving up the ranks.[29][30][31][27]

Most of the crew, befitting its "beastly" theme, tend to be wild, savage, and bloodthirsty in demeanor, with Kaidou himself feared by most of his men, especially due to his mood-swinging, violent tendencies while drunk. Most of the Beasts Pirates dress scantily with a darkish color motif, resembling a blend of barbarian and biker/gangster fashion: donning the likes of metal helmets, leather caps, leather belts and straps tied especially around their torsos (the former usually seen with skull buckles), furred and shoulder-padded cloaks/capes, fur-lined pauldrons, open leather jackets, gloves, bracelets, pants often knee-padded and made of leather as well, i.a., with spikes and studs oft seen; most male members go bare-chested, and most female ones wear brassieres and panties of the aforesaid style.[32][15][33][16][34] Like their horned general, many crew members bear artificial horns of some kind on their bare heads or ornamental headpieces (e.g., helmets) that are horned,[35] while others are even seen with fangs, among other animal traits (often courtesy of their SMILE powers), and a large portion of the crew is shown sporting hair that is some combination of long, wild, or flowing.

Otherwise noteworthy, compared to other large pirate crews (e.g., the Donquixote Pirates or Whitebeard Pirates), is that there is a fairly more evenly balanced ratio of male-to-female in the lower ranks of the Beasts Pirates, whereas most other large pirate groups typically see women only in the upper echelons, if at all.[36] The gender ratio remains somewhat close to even in the higher ranks as well, with many Shinuchi and two of the Tobiroppo being women.

The Beasts Pirates occupy Wano at large to use as their base of operations, and specifically are headquartered on Onigashima where Kaidou himself in his castle and the crew's higher-ups tend to reside, and where the whole crew and its allies, especially Orochi and his followers, assemble during the annual Fire Festival.

For over two decades, the Beasts Pirates worked intimately with Kurozumi Orochi and his government in Wano, helping enforce his oppressive rule; Orochi boasted that he feared no one, not even the World Government, with Kaidou backing him up.[39] Some of Kaidou's forces, from Waiters to Gifters, were found stationed and working throughout Wano alongside Orochi's samurai, e.g. guarding, monitoring, and generally administering towns, and took aggressive action against anyone who publicly opposed or merely spoke ill of the shogun.[40][41][42][43][44][45] Additionally, it was the Beasts Pirates who ran Udon's labor camps wherein thousands of those guilty of rebellion against Orochi were held, until their liberation.[46][47] It was shown that Beasts Pirates could be directly ordered by Orochi[48] or asked for assistance by the shogun's allies, shown when "Kyoshiro" requested that Queen send assassins after someone who had defied the Kyoshiro Family.[49] Some Beasts Pirates were permanently posted in the Flower Capital to aid Orochi however he saw fit.[50]

Through their alliance with the Kurozumi shogunate, the Beasts Pirates have come to enjoy full access to Wano's immense natural resources (i.e., its ore deposits) with which they have high-quality weapons, including Seastone-based ones, mass-produced in factories set up across the country. Said arms the Beasts Pirates originally exported in exchange for mass-import of the SMILE fruits manufactured by Doflamingo (in addition to the World Government using the ex-Warlord's brokering to get access to said weaponry), and it was this backdoor trade that has allowed Kaidou to maintain his martial power and dominion in the New World; thus, Doflamingo was Kaidou's most essential trading partner and vice-versa.

Halfway through the Wano Country Arc, the Beasts Pirates entered into an alliance with the Big Mom Pirates following Big Mom's coming to Wano,[8] which was formally announced during the latest Fire Festival. Said announcement was followed by Kaidou himself bringing his alliance with Orochi's shogunate to an abrupt end, by executing Orochi and declaring his "New Onigashima Project". This project would see the Beasts Pirates seizing total control over Wano as to render it a lawless "pirate empire" (a paradise for pirates of which Kaidou's child Yamato would be the new shogun), this to prepare for a coming world war wherein the Beasts Pirates would fight alongside the Big Mom Pirates, seek to acquire the Ancient Weapons to use in said war, and ultimately try to claim the One Piece itself. In the process, Kaidou gave Orochi's followers the ultimatum to either take the pirates' side or be killed off,[9] leading to them immediately pledging their loyalty to Kaidou.[55]

Overall, the forces originally under Orochi number around 10,000 — the 5,000 samurai led by Hotei and the 5,000 ninja led by Fukurokuju — making for a total of 30,000 people when they and the Beasts Pirates are fully assembled together (and all of whom are presently at Kaidou's beck and call, following Orochi's killing and said ten thousand swearing loyalty to Kaidou).[12][55]

Crew Structure

Territories

The Beasts Pirates are known to have the following territories under their control:

Crew Strength

The Beasts Pirates are led by the Emperor Kaidou, making them one of the four most powerful pirate crews in the world. Donquixote Doflamingo, a former Warlord of the Sea and the former leader of an incredibly powerful pirate crew of his own who usually maintains a fearless attitude, was deeply scared of Kaidou.[140] Kaidou also defeated another Warlord of the Sea, Gecko Moria, and massacred his crew.[141] They attempted to attack the Whitebeard Pirates in the hope of killing Whitebeard, something few would dare, and took on the Red Hair Pirates.[142] They were stated by the Five Elders to be one of the few entities capable of stopping Blackbeard and his crew.[143] During the timeskip, they formed an alliance with the Drake Pirates, a crew from the Worst Generation.[22] However, after Drake was exposed to have freed Law from his imprisonment, he and his crew became enemies of the Beasts Pirates.[27] They also formed alliances with the On Air Pirates and Hawkins Pirates, two other Worst Generation crews,[23] possibly after Kaidou himself defeated Eustass Kid, another member of the Worst Generation with apparent ease.[15][144] According to Yasuie, the samurai who supported the Kozuki Family failed in their first rebellion against Orochi due to Kaidou's protection.[145]

After conquering Wano Country, the Beasts Pirates have many of the country's samurai working for them as subordinates. These samurai are renowned across the world, as they keep Wano safe from threats and even the Marines fear their power.[146] However, some samurai secretly oppose the Beasts Pirates and Wano's shogun, Kurozumi Orochi.[147]

Like the other Emperor-led crews, the Beasts Pirates possess territory in the New World, where they rule with an iron fist and brutally stifle any insurrections.[139] Kaidou currently possesses a "Road Poneglyph".[148]

Like with the other crews captained by an Emperor the range higher-ranked members of the Beast Pirates, the All-Stars and the Tobi Roppo, are extremely powerful pirates with Six of them being confirmed to have Ancient Zoan devil fruits that make them tremendously endurant and strong close combat fighters. The crew has also absorbed numerous strong Pirates such as X-Drake, Scratchmen Apoo, Basil Hawkins of the Worst Generation or Who's-Who and Sasaki into their ranks after they joined willingly the crew or were beaten and broken into servitude in Udon.

Another feature of the flag is that on the right top side of it there is a breaking-like pattern that might represent ...
