by

Summary

  • Some pirate crews in One Piece are non-human, like Fish-Men and Minks.
  • Notable non-human pirate crews include the Arlong Pirates, Tontatta Pirates, and Sun Pirates.
  • Giant Warrior Pirates were once mighty but are now mostly inactive, appearing to help Luffy.

In the extensive lore of piracy within the world of One Piece, a number of remarkable non-human pirate crews have emerged. While some of these crews remain obscure and known to just a few, others have made indelible marks in history. With this context in mind, let us explore the most powerful non-human pirates in One Piece, arranged according to their might.

7. New Fish-Man Pirates

The Pathetic Third Generation Of Fish-Man Pirates

  • Captain(s): Hody Jones
  • Status: Disbanded
  • First Appearance: Episode 527

According to their title, the New Fish-Man Pirates represent a fresh group among a limited number of Fish-People who chose the pirate lifestyle. Notably, they are the least powerful amongst them. Led by a prominent Fish-Man shark named Hody Jones, this pirate band aims to dethrone the Ryugu Kingdom.

Unfortunate timing for the Fish-Men, as the Straw Hat pirates just so happen to be on Fish-Man Island. Despite their bravado and lack of experience, these Fish-Men prove no challenge to Luffy and his team. Even when they resort to using a mysterious drug to enhance their physical abilities to an alarming degree, the Straw Hats effortlessly overpower them.

6. Arlong Pirates

The Cruel Second Generation Of Fish-Man Pirates

  • Captain(s): Arlong
  • Status: Disbanded
  • First Appearance: Episode 31

In the narrative, the Arlong Pirates represent the initial group of Fish-Man pirates introduced. They seized control over Nami’s birthplace, compelling her into a life of theft. Despite making an early appearance in the story, they proved to be more powerful than Hody Jones and his followers. Arlong and his associates demonstrated significant resistance, but Luffy and the Straw Hat crew ultimately emerged victorious against them.

Prior to establishing his own pirate band, Arlong and many of his associates were part of the renowned Sun Pirates. The demise of their respected leader, the legendary Fisher Tiger, sparked internal discord. Disagreeing with Jinbe, who assumed command of the Sun Pirates, Arlong chose to depart from the crew and establish his own pirate group, known as the Arlong Pirates.

5. Tontatta Pirates

The Smallest Pirates In The World

  • Captain(s): Leo
  • Status: Active
  • First Appearance: Episode 745

The small-statured Tontatta tribe resides within the Dressrosa Kingdom. Despite their diminutive appearance, similar to a grown person’s hand, they possess an extraordinary physical power that surpasses that of an ordinary human multiple times over.

Coincidentally, after Luffy and the Straw Hat crew managed to rescue their princess from Doflamingo’s grasp, the Tontattas chose to aid Luffy by joining the Straw Hats Grand Fleet. Moreover, they even established their own pirate group, known as the Tontatta Pirates. Despite their adorable appearance and small size, don’t underestimate them – these tiny pirates can quickly sink a ship.

4. New Giant Warrior Pirates

The Spiritual Successor To The Mighty Giant Pirates

  • Captain(s): Hajrudin
  • Status: Active
  • First Appearance: Episode 639

Initially, the colossal Sea-faring Marauders, known as the Giant Warrior Pirates, were both dreaded and revered throughout the oceans. However, they mysteriously vanished from prominence. Raised on stories of these brave and powerful ancient pirates, Hajrudin, a young giant, is resolute about preserving their legacy for future generations. Consequently, he and his childhood companions established a new group called the Revived Giant Warrior Pirates.

The newly formed Pirate Crew of Giant Warriors hasn’t gained recognition just yet, but given their composition of giant warriors, it’s merely a question of when the world will come to know them by name. Hajrudin, among many others, pledged allegiance to join Luffy and the Straw Hat Grand Fleet during the events in Dressrosa. This bond explains his strong connection with Luffy and the entire Straw Hat crew.

3. Nox Pirates

The First Pirate Crew From The Mink Tribe

  • Captain(s): Pedro
  • Status: Disbanded
  • First Appearance: Episode 571

The Minks tribe, living on an enormous elephant wandering the vast oceans, is likely one of the world’s most secluded communities. Despite having all they require within their floating home, their innate curiosity about the broader world has led them to dispatch a select group of skilled Mink warriors for the Nox Exploration Party, under the guidance of their leader, a Jaguar Mink named Pedro.

Minks naturally possess great strength, enabling them to face off against pirates, monsters, and even Marines who disrupt their travels. However, this power and tenacity lead the World Government to view them as a band of pirates. Instead of being displeased, Pedro accepts this label and renames his group the Nox Pirates. Tragically, they encountered the Big Mom pirates and were annihilated, leaving only Pedro alive.

2. Sun Pirates

The Legendary Fish-Man Pirates

  • Captain(s): Fisher Tiger; Jinbe; Aladine (current)
  • Status: Active
  • First Appearance: Episode 540

The Sun Pirates represented the initial band of pirates among the Fish-Man community to navigate the oceans. A significant portion of their crew consisted of ex-slaves liberated by the revered Fisher Tiger, and they also included Jinbe, Arlong, as well as many other Fish-Men who would eventually join the Arlong Pirates, with the exception of the captain.

Prior to Fisher Tiger’s demise, he designated Jinbe as his successor as captain. Loyal to Fisher Tiger’s vision of a harmonious bond with humans, Jinbe later departed from this role to join the Straw Hats Pirates as their helmsman. In time, he promoted his first mate, Aladine, to be the new captain of the Sun Pirates.

1. Giant Warrior Pirates

The Legendary Pirate Crew

  • Captain(s): Dorry and Brogy
  • Status: Active (Sort of)
  • First Appearance: Episode 78

Originally, the Mighty Sea-Faring Giants were both dreaded and revered as one of the strongest powers globally. Considering a solitary Giant could effortlessly demolish a substantial vessel, envisioning an entire crew of trained sea-faring Giants was indeed a daunting prospect. Fortunately, they generally indulged in fun rather than indiscriminately causing widespread damage and destruction.

Although incredibly powerful, the colossal Pirate Warriors unexpectedly ceased their journey and eventually transformed into mere tales within history books. The cause of this abrupt vanishing was a dispute among the commanders, Dorry and Brogy, who opted to settle their differences in an endless battle on an isolated island until they could reach an accord. Regrettably, their might was evenly balanced. This conflict persisted for decades without a victor, consequently leading to a temporary dissolution of the formidable Giant Warrior Pirates.

In an unexpected twist, the captains have set aside their disputes to assist their mutual allies, Luffy and the Straw Hats. Dorry and Brogy rallied their former crews and aided the Straw Hats in escaping Egghead Island. They now spend time together in the homeland of the Giants, Island of Elbaf. Whether this marks the return of the famed Giant Warrior Pirates or simply a brief reunion remains uncertain. However, one fact is indisputable: they remain as formidable and intimidating as ever.
