Usopp Pirates

Usopp Pirates (ウソップ海賊団) was comprised of three village children who joined Usopp in telling lies and other assorted games.

History
The Usopp Pirates were formed 5 years from the start of the story. They have joined Usopp in telling lies during that time.

They later assist Kaya in her escape when Captain Kuro planned to kill her. They did this mainly by running and hiding from Jango, whom Kuro sent to make Kaya leave everything to him in her will. The pirates had a tearful disbandment when Usopp decided to be a real pirate. The children decided to continue Usopp's lies of "Pirates are coming".

They also appear as cameo in the Jango Mini-Series, Jango's Dance Paradise. They found Jango in their village, so they chased him and forced him to run away.

The former members of Usopp Pirates (Ninjin, Tamanegi, and Piman) were seen again after Enies Lobby was raided, reacting to Usopp's new bounty. Even though it said "Sogeking" and he was wearing a mask, they could recognize him because of his nose.

Trivia

 * The 4Kids version of the crew's name is in obviously referencing the vegetable theme apparent in the crew members' names (with the exception of the captain).
 * Though they had a proper flag, they are a group that never set sail but only played pirates effectively, thus not enemies of the World Government, with the exception of their captain, who became a real pirate with a bounty.
