Macro Pirates



The Macro Fishman Pirates (マクロ一味, Makuro Ichimi) were a trio of Macro Fishmen who are notable for abducting the mermaid Keimi thirty-one times. The trio used to be old friends of Hatchan, and the leader Macro was once a member of the Sunny Pirates like Hatchan. However, after he destroyed their ship and took back Keimi, they were on negative terms.

They appear in his Hatchan's Sea-Floor Stroll when Hatchan sold Keimi to them for exchange of a Map. After Hatchan later comes to believe the map they sold him was a fake, he destroys their ship, beats them up, and frees Keimi. More recently, the Macro Fishman were brought under the reign of the kidnapping ring lead by Duval near the Sabaody Archipelago. After Hatchan was freed, they attempted to kill him, however he easily bested all of them with his fists.

The crew is rather small, as it only has three members: Macro, Gyaro, and Tansui. Their ship was an odd craft with paddle wheels and a large fish bowl taking up all the room on the back half of the ship.

It is interesting to note, that in the anime only scene of Boa Hancock's past, it shows three shadows approaching from underwater, implying that the Marco and his comrades might have been the ones responsible for taking the Gorgon Sisters.
