Kuja Pirates

The Kuja Pirates (九蛇海賊団, Kuja Kaizokudan) are a crew of female pirates from Amazon Lily. The crew memebers are chosen amongst the strongest women in the tribe, and are led by the Shichibukai Boa Hancock, along with her two younger Gorgon Sisters, Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold. It is said that all ships attacked by the Kuja Pirates have no life on them, but instead drift on the sea with a collection of mysterious stone statues. This is done by Hancock's "Mero Mero Merrow" technique.

Also, when Hancock made a treaty with the World Government for protecting her homeland, Amazon Lily, all members of the Kuja tribe were classified as pirates, whether on land or at sea.

The name of the ship used by the Kuja Pirates is currently unknown, but it's towed by two Yuda, fierce sea-serpents which prevents Sea Kings from attacking them. This is a new way to traverse across the Calm Belt, where their homeland is located in.

Trivia

 * The skull with nine snakes seen on the front of their boat, is similair to a common symbol of the Gorgon: a woman's face surrounded by snake hair.
