Thriller Bark Pirates


Thriller Bark Pirates[3] is the second pirate crew captained by the former Warlord, Gecko Moria. They are the main antagonist group in the Thriller Bark Arc, where they operated from the mysterious Florian Triangle to abduct unsuspecting victims of their shadows for their undead zombie army.

Jolly Roger

The crew's Jolly Roger is a white skull with two purple wings, and a white flame on each side of the skull.

Organization

  • Mysterious Four (四怪人 Yonkaijin?): the four humans who rule Thriller Bark. They are Gecko Moria, Hogback, Absalom, and Perona.
  • General Zombie: Once legendary figures, now commanders of the rest of the zombies. They are under the command of Absalom.
  • Surprise Zombie: Zombies that disguise themselves as everyday objects to scare the enemies.
  • Soldier Zombie: Common grunt zombies for combat.
  • Wild Zombie: Wild animal zombies with high level strength. They are under the command of Perona.
  • Special Zombie: A unique kind of zombie that is stronger than General Zombies. Oars was the only one of its kind.
  • Spider Mice: Spider-like zombies that sneak up on and trap opponents with webs. They are under the command of Tararan.

    Crew Strength

    The Thriller Bark Pirates were known for their Night Attacks (夜討ち Yōchi?) that takes place every midnight, to which the zombies would attack and capture every victim that has been trapped on their island. Those taken captive are then brought before Moria, who proceeds to steal their shadows with his Devil Fruit before sending them back out to sea. They were shown able to fight and catch the Straw Hat Pirates by surprise, steal the shadows from their strongest members, and almost finish them off with Oars, which the Straw Hats had to fight as a team.[5]

    Their captain Moria was even recognized as a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, giving them special privileges and officially sanctioned by the World Government. However, after suffering a crushing defeat from the Straw Hat Pirates that costed them their undead army, Moria would be expelled from said group for "being too weak", in Doflamingo's words

  • The majority of the Thriller Bark Pirates are an undead army of seemingly-invincible zombies, powered by the shadows stolen using Moria's Devil Fruit. At the time of their introduction, the Thriller Bark Pirates had amassed a crew of nearly 900 zombies animated from the dead, including the likes of deceased legendary figures such as Shimotsuki Ryuma, Captain John, and the ancient giant Oars. The undead crew relies solely on the authority of their captain and his three lieutenants which makes up the "Mysterious Four", three of whom being Devil Fruit users while the other possesses the medical knowledge to create the zombies that made up their crew.

  • Thriller Bark Arc

    After the Straw Hat Pirates arrived at Thriller Bark, Moria stole the shadows of several of the members, and gave life to Oars thanks to Luffy's shadow. Later,Bartholomew Kuma arrived to inform Moria about the upcoming war against the Whitebeard Pirates, prompting Moria to set sail. As the Straw Hats fought three of the Mysterious Four, Kuma used his Nikyu Nikyu no Mi abilities to send Perona to Kuraigana Island. After Oars and Moria were defeated by the Straw Hats and Brook, Hogback and Absalom took an unconscious Moria to Marineford.

    Marineford Arc

    Moria took part in the Summit War of Marineford, were he used his power to take down Little Oars Jr. and plan to used the fallen fighters to rebuild his Zombie army.

    Post-War Arc

    After the war, Moria ended up being expelled from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

    During the Timeskip

    Absalom became a popular journalist under the nickname "Absa".

    Wano Country Arc

    After discovering news about Moria and his new army of zombies in the newspaper, Perona went on his search. In Hachinosu, Moria was looking for Teach, and when he met the Blackbeard Pirates, he discovered that Absalom was killed by them, his ability taken by Shiryu.
