Straw Hat Pirates

The Straw Hat Pirates(Mugiwara Kaizoku) 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.

 * Johnny and Yosaku
 * Nefertari Vivi & Karoo

 * 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 havok and last (but certainly not least) there's Oimo and Kashii who were recruited along the way.
