Gasparde Pirates

The Gasparde's Pirates is a group of pirates from the fourth One Piece movie. They are headed by former Marine General Gasparde, and their only other named member is Needles. Also, Biera was forced by Gasparde to join as the stoker of the ship, and Shuraiya Bascùd joined as a ruse in order to get his revenge for his parents and sister. Aside from Biera, other laborers are also forced to work in the boiler room. Also, Anaguma tried to join the crew in order to save her grandpa, and was instructed to kill a pirate in order to be qualified.

Part in the Story
The captain of the crew, Gasparde, was a former Marine General who stole the ship he was assigned to and made a break for it with his crew. Together, they won the Dead End Race several times (through cheating) in order to cure boredom. They also ravaged villages and forced citizens to work on board; with some of their known victims being Anaguma, Biera, and Shuraiya Bascùd. The crew was defeated when Anaguma's "Grandpa" increased the pressure of the boiler room, blowing up the ship while Shuraiya beat the first mate, Needles, and Luffy took down their captain, Gasparde.

Crew Strength
It seems that the crew is roughly above average for Grand Line pirates, reaching into the Grand Line and winning in the Dead End Race several times, and were strong enough to defeat the pirate Willy and his crew but are little more than that, as Shuraiya and Luffy took down the crew themselves. The crew also seemed to be almost entirely reliant on its two main fighters, their captain Gasparde and his (assumed) first mate Needles; with Gasparde being the more powerful of the two due to his powerful Ame Ame no Mi abilities.

Other Information
Their flag is something of a rarity, as it is a standard "Marine" flag, crossed out with a black cross. This is a sign of Gasparde's defection from the Marines.

Overall, the crew seems to have little to no friendly relationships between one and another, as Gasparde sees his crew as nothing but "underlings", while the first mate Needles and ruse-member Shuraiya both wanted to kill the captain (though for different reasons). Some members are even forced to join as workers in the boiler room, making this one of the few known crews to forcefully recruit members.

Crew Members
Their crew seems to be a rather mutinous one as Gasparde cared nothing for his men, Needles wanted to kill the captain for himself for unknown reasons, Biera and some other workers in the boiling room were forced to become a part of the crew against their will, while Shuraiya joined as a ruse in order to kill Gasparde in revenge for his family. Also, Anaguma tried to join to save Biera, but had to kill a pirate in order to prove her worth.
