Usopp Pirates

Usopp's Pirates (ウソップ海賊団 Usoppu Kaizoku Dan, called the Veggie Pirates in the 4Kids dub) was comprised of three village children who join Usopp in telling lies and other assorted games. They were formed 5 years from the current timeline. They have joined Usopp in telling lies during that time. They first appeared in Chapter 23 and Episode 9.

They later assist Kaya in her escape when Captain Kuro planned to kill her. They did this mainly by running and hiding from Jango, whom Kuro sent to make Kaya leave everything to him in her will. The pirates had a tearful disbandment when Usopp decided to be a real pirate. The children decided to continue Usopp's lies of "Pirates are coming".

They also appear as cameo in Jango Mini-Series, Jango's Dance Paradise. They found Jango in their village, so they chase him and force him to ran away.

The former members of Usopp's Pirates (Ninjin, Tamanegi, and Piman) were seen again in Chapter 440, reacting to Usopp's new bounty. Even though it said "Sogeking" and he was wearing a mask, they could recognize him because of his nose.

Trivia

 * The 4Kids version of the crew's name is in obviously referencing the vegetable theme apparent in the crew members' names (with the exception of the captain).
 * Though they had a proper flag, they are a group that never set sail but only "played pirates" effectively.
