New Fish-Man Pirates

The New Fishman Pirates are a group of merman and fishman-based pirates from Fishman Island. The New Fishman Pirates are currently the most prominent figures in the long history of human/fishmen hate over their hero Fisher Tiger's death. They carry on the legacy of Arlong, having established their crew based on Arlong's ideals. Like Arlong, they wish to make fishmen the supreme race and aim to sink the humans into the ocean.

Jolly Roger
Their jolly roger consists of the Sunny Pirates' sunny rim, with a crossed out decapitated person within. Hammond and Jones both bear the Arlong Pirates tattoos on the left side of the neck and left arm respectively, to signify their respect for Arlong. None of the crew members seem to be from the original Fishman Pirates.

Crew Strength
They appear to have control of several giant sea monsters, all equal to the kraken in size. It also seems that the kraken was initially under their control. As fishmen, their entire crew is already ten times stronger than average humans (and double that underwater), however, they use the "evil drug" Energy Steroid to enhance their strength to greater levels. The crew's captain alone was enough to overwhelm an entire pirate crew with the help of this drug. Their willingness to use this drug, knowing the cost it brings, also shows they are willing to sacrifice their lives for their cause.

They demonstrate high levels of brutality and are not above resorting to violence or murder. However, sometimes they also allow their victims to live so that they can retell their encounters to others and spread their reputation and cause fear. Luffy himself acknowledged that their assassin Hyozo is quite strong, because he was able to block one of Luffy's punches. In comparison to the Arlong Pirates, they are much fiercer and a much greater threat; Jones himself claimed that this was due to them learning from Arlong's mistakes. Furthermore, the fact that they are willing to have mermen and captured human pirates as part of their crew means they are far more diverse.

However, due to the effects of the Energy Steroid, it is unknown just how strong the main crew naturally is.

The New Fishman Pirates also made an alliance with the feared Vander Decken IX, who, with the aid of his aiming and tracking abilities, and the giant creatures at his service, makes up for a powerful ally and asset for the crew.

Past
At some point the New Fishman Pirates acquired the rare evil drug and began using its power to plot a coup d'état against King Neptune, in order to take Fishman Island away from his rule for themselves, and to conquer the human race to prove that fishmen are superior. They also intercepted pirate crews that approach Fishman Island, giving them two options: join the New Fishman Pirates and go on serving them or be destroyed before making it into the underwater island. To avoid certain demise, the human pirate crews would usually choose the first option but did not truly intend to follow the fishmen. They would flee Fishman Island as soon as possible. Apparently the New Fishman Pirates' activities are the reason why not much human visitors roam Fishman Island recently.

Fishman Island Arc
The crew was first introduced right as the Straw Hats were approaching Fishman Island with their apparent chief being seemingly interested in meeting the Straw Hat captain. By the time the Straw Hats arrived in Fishman Island, they had already began to move. When Gyro and his crew, who were forced to serve the New Fishman Pirates earlier, managed to sneak away and attempted to escape into the New World, Jones single-handedly decimated the crew, but left them alive to prove to humans what the fishmen crew were capable of.

Some time later, Vander Decken IX arrives at Noah to meet Hordy Jones and they introduce themselves to one another. After Vander Decken IX put on a glove, they shake hands and they form an alliance. They swear that the two of them will bring the downfall of Ryugu Kingdom. They proceed with the operation and used captive human pirates (those who did not attempt escape) to infiltrate the palace. After the connection corridor has been opened, Hordy Jones and Vander Decken IX enter the palace while the officers of the New Fishman Pirates proceed to other locations. Once inside the palace, Decken learns that Princess Shirahoshi is no longer there and left the palace to find her. After Decken is gone, Jones flood the palace and the New Fishman Pirates who entered the palace with him begin their attack against Neptune and the Straw Hat Pirates.

Neptune decides to retreat from the castle for the time being. Meanwhile, Jones battles Zoro and the swordsman manages to deal a striking blow to the fishman.
