Straw Hat Pirates/Allies

Individuals
Throughout the series there have been people who have either traveled with the Straw Hat Pirates for a short period of time or aided them in one way or another. Many of these individuals would be considered temporary pirates in a way.

The most notable of these people are:


 * Vivi and Carue, as they traveled with the crew for almost the entire Baroque Works Saga, and even considered permanently joining them but due to her promise it seems that she is always welcome back;


 * Jinbe, who was invited to join the crew, but declined due to unfinished business. He promised that once his business is concluded, he will return to the Straw Hats, and join them if they still want him.

Groups
Along with individuals mentioned above, there has also been various groups that have assisted the Straw Hats in their adventures. These organizations have helped the Straw Hats either to reach a certain goal or to defeat a common enemy.

One of the most notable of these are:


 * Franky Family which, along with the Galley-La, Kokoro, Chimney and Gonbe, formed an army of sorts in order to fight against a common foe;
 * almost all the Impel Down prisoners, which formed an alliance with Luffy to evade from Impel Down and fight in the Battle of Marineford;
 * the Heart Pirates which, along with Kin'emon and Momonosuke formed an alliance to fight in Dressrosa.

Anime Only
