The Thriller Bark Pirates were known for their Night Attacks (夜討ち, Yōchi?) that takes place every midnight, to which the zombies would attack and capture every victim that has been trapped on their island. Those taken captive are then brought before Moria, who proceeds to steal their shadows with his Devil Fruit before sending them back out to sea. They were shown able to fight and catch the Straw Hat Pirates by surprise, steal the shadows from their strongest members, and almost finish them off with Oars, which the Straw Hats had to fight as a team.[4]

Their captain Moria was even recognized as a member of the Shichibukai, giving them special privileges and officially sanctioned by the World Government. However, after suffering a crushing defeat from the Straw Hat Pirates that costed them their undead army, Moria would be expelled from said group for "being too weak", in Doflamingo's words.[5]

Whenever opened it will shoot out a red flare after which Perona's Ghost Network will start spying on them. This was a clever trick to pull sailors to Thriller Bark.[8]

Purified Sea Salt is simply salt extracted from the sea, and purified. However, they play a crucial role in defeating the zombies on Thriller Bark. Since salt is an extract from the sea, it can be used to cancel the Kage Kage no Mi's shadow-extracting powers, and purify the zombies, rendering them a husk once again. The amount of salt needed to feed a zombie is proportional to its size, as Oars was immune to a small pellet of salt shot into his mouth.
