Beasts Pirates

The Beasts Pirates is crew ruling in the New World, led by the Yonko Kaido.

Past
At some point in the past, Kaido formed the Beasts Pirates. Sometime within the last four years, they formed an alliance with Donquixote Doflamingo and Caesar Clown in order to gain an army of artificial Zoan Devil Fruit users.

Marineford Arc
Upon hearing that the Whitebeard Pirates were headed to Marineford, the Beasts Pirates tried to intercept them so their captain could kill Whitebeard. However, they were stopped by the Red Hair Pirates.

Dressrosa Arc
Led by Jack of the three Calamities, several of the Beasts Pirates entered Zou to search for Raizo the ninja. They came into conflict with the Mink Tribe, who easily beat back the Pleasures and initially held the advantage. However, Jack used Caesar Clown's poison gas weapon to overwhelm the minks and destroy the Mokomo Dukedom, sending its duke Inu-Arashi into a coma.

The search continued for several days as the Straw Hat Pirates led by Sanji entered the island and came into conflict with the Beasts Pirates. The Straw Hats managed to defeat Sheepshead, the leader of the Gifters, and the pirates following Sheepshead retreated. It is unknown what became of them, though it was hinted that the Straw Hats warded them off.

While this happened, other members of the Beasts Pirates received word that Donquixote Doflamingo had fallen. Meanwhile, Kaido attempted suicide by jumping off a Sky Island. He survived the fall and prepared to have Doflamingo help him start the greatest war in the world.

Jack eventually left Zou to go rescue Doflamingo from incarceration on a Marine ship. Though he succeeded in sinking two of the ships, Jack was eventually brought down and reported as dead, though his body was not found.

Jolly Roger
The crew's Jolly Roger is a skull with a bone in the middle of a pair of crossbones. The skull has horns similar to Kaido's.

Organization
Kaido, the captain, has full control over the crew. At his side are three beings known as the Calamities. One of them, Jack the Drought, has the ability to decay any land he passes through as though a drought hit it. The Calamities have authority over the Gifters and Pleasures.

The next division of the Beasts Pirates is the Gifters, a group lead by the Headliner Sheepshead. All the Gifters have animal traits.

The weakest division is the Pleasures, who resembled foot soldiers and do not appear to have any animal traits.

Crew Strength
The Beasts Pirates are led by the Yonko Kaido, making them one of the four most powerful pirate crews in the world. Donquixote Doflamingo, a former Shichibukai and the leader of an incredibly powerful New World pirate crew, was scared of Kaido and his crew. They attacked the Whitebeard Pirates in the hope of killing Whitebeard, something few would dare, and were stated by the Gorosei to be one of the few entities capable of stopping Blackbeard.

Like the other Yonko, the Beasts Pirates possess territory in the New World, and they have been shown to rule with an iron fist and put a stop to any insurrection.

The true strength of this crew lies in their Underworld connections. Due to Kaido's alliance with Donquixote Doflamingo and Caesar Clown, they had access to SMILES and SAD to help form an army of over 500 artificial Zoan Devil Fruit users. They also have access to Caesar's poison gas weapons, which they used to destroy a city of minks.
