Pumpkin Pirates

The Pumpkin Pirates were an anime-only group of children who pretended to be pirates that lived on Ruluka island 50 years ago.

They were allies of the Straw Hat Pirates during the Ruluka Island Arc.

Territories
The Pumpkin Pirates had at least two locations they used as a base of operations:
 * A cave by the shore of Ruluka where they would have fun and Henzo worked on his gadgets.
 * After entering the Rainbow Mist and fleeing a Sea King, they took shelter on a wrecked Marine ship that belonged to Rapanui's father until they blew it up to help the Going Merry escape.

Ship
After becoming trapped in the Rainbow Mist they first used the Tarielishin as shelter.

Biography
One day, their home village was attacked by Wetton and his pirate crew. The Pumpkin Pirates managed to foil the pirate's plan, but only to be sucked in the Rainbow Mist and ending up in Ape's Concert. Only Henzo managed to escape, sacrificing himself to save his friends from Wetton. The rest of the Pumpkin Pirates have been living in Ape's Concert ever since and managed to survive. Until they meet up with Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Robin and a grown-up Henzo in which they help them stop Wetton's scheme and were returned home earlier in the timeline.

Legacy
In an Ontological Paradox, they become the very Marines that chased the Straw Hat Pirates to Ruluka Island in the first place.
