Salamander

The Salamander is the ship used by Gasparde Pirates. It is Gasparde's Marine ship which he stole and modified.

Appearance
The Salamander is a very large steam-powered ship. Originally a Marine ship, Gasparde modified it to suit his own pirate tastes. The ship is gold colored with a colossal Gilded Dragon Prow on the bow, two large masts and many cannons. Its main propulsion is two colossal paddle wheels and a large steam engine. As a sign of his defection from the Marines, he has its symbol "X"ed out on the sail.

Past
When Gasparde was still a Marine officer, the Salamander served as his ship. He eventually defected, and took the ship with him and modified it to serve his new taste in piracy, and abducted several citizens from his plundered locations to work in the boiler. The ship partook several Dead End Races, where pirates raced on a specialized course on their ships, with the Gasparde Pirates winning several times by rigging the contest and to cure their boredom.

Dead End Race
During the Salamander's final voyage in the Dead End Race, Shuraiya Bascùd revealed his ruse for joining the crew, and battled against Needless. Ignoring his captain's orders not to harm the ship, Needless causes some damage to it during their battle. When Needless was defeated and Monkey D. Luffy challenged Gasparde, their battle caused more damage to the Salamander, with Luffy even tearing off a mast to throw at Gasparde. During the battle on deck, Biera overloaded the steam engine, causing it to blow, crippling the Salamander. A typhoon came in, and, as the battle between Luffy and Gasparde nears its end, the latter notes that only the winner can escape on the lifeboat. Gasparde was ultimately sent into the typhoon and the Salamander was destroyed by it.
