Sun Pirates

The Sunny Pirates (タイヨウの海賊団 Taiyō no Kaizoku-dan) were a Fishman Pirate Crew formed by Fisher Tiger. The crew is notable for having Jimbei and Arlong as part of its members.

Members
A majority of the Sunny Pirates were composed of Fishman slaves that were freed by Tiger Fisher from the Tenryuubito of Mariejois. Each and every one of them has a red mark branded on them that resembles a sun. This mark was originally a hoof mark branded on them signifying that they were once slaves of the Tenryuubito. Though this does not necessarily mean that every single member with it was once a slave, it does signify they were a part of the crew.

Amongst their members notably include Fisher Tiger, Jimbei, Arlong and some of his men, Macro and his subordinate Gyaro.

History
Several years ago before the current storyline, a Fishman by name of Fisher Tiger freed the Fishmen slaves in Mariejois. With them, he formed the Sunny Pirates. After his death, the Fishmen began to form splinter pirate crews, with the original Sunny Pirates being taken over by Jimbei.

Eight years ago, Jimbei joined the Shichibukai, fracturing the Sunny Pirates even further. One of his subordinates, Arlong, took several members to create his own pirate crew who would begin a reign of terror in East Blue.
