Straw Hat Pirates

The Straw Hat Pirates(Mugiwara Kaizoku-dan) are the main focus and heroes of the anime and manga One Piece. They are also called "Straw Hats" after Luffy's signature straw hat that was given to him by Shanks. Up until the Water 7 arc, they sailed on the Going Merry.

They now have the ship called King of Beasts and are currently made up of 8 members.



Straw Hat Pirates



 * Captain: Monkey D. Luffy
 * First mate/Swordsman: Roronoa Zoro (Zolo in the US/Canada/UK/Australia versions)
 * Navigator: Nami
 * Chef: Sanji
 * Doctor: Tony Tony Chopper
 * Archeologist: Nico Robin
 * Shipwright: Franky

Former Crew Members

 * Infantry (anime only): 497 Crew Members from the Foxy Pirates who the crew won during the Davy Back Fight. Shortly after joining the crew, Luffy dismissed all of them because he was only interested in winning back Chopper and Robin, and because there was no room for that many people on the Going Merry. They ended up returning to the Foxy Pirates.
 * Former Ship: Going Merry broke down completely right after rescuing the Straw-Hats from Enies Lobby (chapter 430). It was immolated in the fashion of a viking funeral.
 * Nefertari Vivi: Vivi is the princess of Alabasta, also known as Miss Wednesday when she was a member of "Baroque Works", a criminal organization that was behind several scandals in the country of Alabasta. She joined the Straw Hat Pirates in the Whiskey Peak arc, in which her true identity had been revealed and listed for assassination. She was escorted back to Alabasta by the Straw-hats, and with the end of rebellions in Alabasta and the defeat of Crocodile and Baroque Works, she then decided to stay in Alabasta and called her adventure with the Straw-hats to an end after an emotional farewell.
 * Usopp: Usopp has left the crew, and has not yet rejoined. However, according to the Navy, Sogeking is part of the crew, and his bounty is counted toward Strawhat's total. Also, Usopp desires to rejoin the crew, though he doesn't seem to want to unless Luffy asks him to, and was seen coming up with scenarios for him to do this.

Temporary Straw Hats
Through the series there have been people who have traveled with the Straw Hat Pirates for a short period of time. The most notable of these is Vivi, as she traveled with them for almost the entire Baroque Works Saga, and considered permanantly joining them.


 * Koby
 * Johnny and Yosaku
 * Nefertari Vivi & Karoo
 * Portgas D. Ace
 * Gan Fall & Pierre

Currently, the Straw Hats are travelling with a veritable army of secondary characters (handy when you need to invade a governmental stronghold), it still remains to be seen how long this massive force will stay together. We have Kokoro, Chimney, Gonbe & Yokozuna from the Lighthouse, there's Paulie, Lulu & Tilestone from Galley-La, the Franky Family, including Zambai, Mozu and Kiwi & Sodom and Gomorrah are also wrecking harvok and last (but certainly not least) there's Oimo and Kashii who were recruited along the way.
