Pirate Apprentice

A Pirate Apprentice is an individual who resides on a pirate ship in order to learn the ways of piracy from more experienced pirates.

Role and Duties
Pirate apprentices are younger members of a pirate crew that possess the least authority on a ship, since their main purpose is to learn how to become a proper pirate from the rest of the crew. Their training usually involves partaking in habitual pirate activities such as raiding other ships.

Once apprentices are fully educated, either they become full-fledged members and maybe even officers of their respective crews, or leave to become captains of their own crews.

List of Former Apprentices

 * Both Shanks and Buggy were apprentices of the Roger Pirates since they were 9 until their captain chose to disband the crew. Afterwards, they both eventually became infamous captains of their own pirate crews.
 * Shanks built the Red Hair Pirates and became one of the Four Emperors.
 * Buggy built the Buggy Pirates and eventually became a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea before the system's dissolution, and then a member of the Four Emperors.
 * Kaidou joined the Rocks Pirates as an apprentice at the age of 15 before the crew's disbandment upon their captain's demise. He then went on to becoming Governor-General of the Beasts Pirates and one of the Four Emperors.
 * Marco was an apprentice of the Whitebeard Pirates before eventually becoming the crew's First Division Commander and subsequently led the remnants after the original captain's death.
 * Inuarashi and Nekomamushi both became apprentices of the Whitebeard Pirates at age 10 after sneaking aboard their ship, then 4 years later sailed with the Roger Pirates until returning to the Wano Country. Then after the tragic death of Kozuki Oden, they returned to their original home country of Zou where they became its rulers.
 * Marshall D. Teach joined the Whitebeard Pirates as an apprentice before becoming a full-fledged member. He then betrayed the crew by murdering a fellow crew member before escaping with a dangerous Devil Fruit, and then founded the Blackbeard Pirates. Afterwards, he joined the Seven Warlords so he can infiltrate Impel Down to find new crewmates, and with their help, he murdered his former captain and stole his Devil Fruit ability for himself. He then conquered much of Whitebeard's territory, and after defeating the Whitebeard Pirates led by Marco in a vicious battle, he became recognized as one of the Four Emperors.

Trivia

 * All of the crews that once had apprentices were ones that existed during Gol D. Roger's time and are all now disbanded.
