Cross Guild

The Cross Guild is a powerful organization headlined by three former members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea: Buggy, Crocodile, and Dracule Mihawk. Originally a company founded by Crocodile, Buggy accidentally usurped presidency of the organization due to misunderstandings on behalf of his crew, serving as the figurehead leader which led the World Government to recognize him as one of the new Four Emperors.

Logo
The organization's logo consists of a Jolly Roger with a striped, bicorne hat and clown features much akin to Buggy's. Two large, crossed cutlasses are positioned behind it.

Overview
After the Warlords system was dissolved due to a vote of majority by the Levely, Buggy and Mihawk became criminals once again. Crocodile, seeing this opportunity, offered Mihawk partnership in his new brainchild company, the Cross Guild, which intends to hunt down Marines for bounties. In order to fund this new organization's formation, Crocodile went to Buggy to call up on a huge debt the latter owed him, while inadvertently saving his organization, the Buggy's Delivery, from a fleet of Marines. Buggy, being unable to repay his debt, offered to use his lingering fame he gained as a Warlord to help the Cross Guild advertise, free of charge.

However, Buggy's employees, being completely enamored by his fame and mistaking that Crocodile saved him out of loyalty, created a flyer that had Buggy as the foremost member of the Guild, and distributed them worldwide, before Buggy could even review it. As a result, the World Government mistook Buggy as the leader, and named him as one of the new Four Emperors due to his alleged charisma to recruit even the likes of two former Warlords as subordinates. Crocodile and Mihawk were very displeased with this, and brutally beat up Buggy for it, but Mihawk eventually suggested using Buggy as a figurehead leader to stave off any unwanted attention from himself and Crocodile, and that they could eliminate the clown anytime they need to, which Crocodile agreed on.



The Cross Guild is able to use their battle might and political influence to issue bounties on Marines, an initiative which appears to be working as indicated by it being reported on in the newspapers. As a result of the bounties, the Marines now have to worry about attacks not only from pirates, but civilians and bounty hunters as well. Due to the group's popularity, they have received funding from many underworld organizations.

Organization Strength
The Cross Guild is recognized as a dangerous organization with power and influence equivalent to that of an Emperor's crew. This is mostly a result of the strength and infamy of its chief officers, ex-Warlords and true founders of the company, Sir Crocodile, former Baroque Works president and user of the Suna Suna no Mi, and Dracule Mihawk, the World's Strongest Swordsman and once a rival of Shanks of the Four Emperors. Buggy, also an ex-Warlord, provided the Guild with the necessary infrastructure to run smoothly and was kept as a figurehead leader in order to draw attention away from the chief officers. Together, the three command absolutely massive bounties that, combined, hit a total of 8,744,000,000.

Among the ranks of the Cross Guild are the Buggy Pirates and former Baroque Works Officer Agents Daz Bonez and Galdino, the latter proclaiming himself as Crocodile's subordinate once more, as well as multiple Impel Down ex-convicts who are fervorously loyal to Buggy.
