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.

Kuro Arc
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.

Two Years Later
They were recently seen reading news of the Strawhats revival in the newspaper that shows the current look of their former leader, Usopp, on the cover of Chapter 621.

Trivia

 * The 4Kids version of the crew's name is obviously a reference to the vegetable theme apparent in the crew members' names and appearances (carrot, onion, and pepper), 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 are not enemies of the World Government, except their captain who became a real pirate with a bounty.
