The Trump Pirates are a pirate crew under the command of the Trump Siblings, a group of animal/card themed captains led by Bear King. They appeared as the main antagonist group in the second movie.[1]
The crew's Jolly Roger consists of a serious bear head (in reference to Bear King), with the classic two crossed bones behind it. It also has the symbols of a deck of cards around it, with the spade on top, the club below, the diamond on the left, and the heart on the right.[2]
The overall crew strength seems to be rather weak, despite having five bounties, two Devil Fruit users, and each commanding several crews of pirates (which is a large group altogether, similar to the Krieg Pirates). Three of the captains, Boo Jack, Skunk One, and Pin Joker were quickly defeated. Honey Queen, despite holding a Logia-type Devil Fruit, was easily captured. The overall leader, Bear King, was the only one who put up a longer fight, but was regardless defeated.
The King Cannon is the ultimate weapon of the Trump Siblings. They had forced the scientists of Clockwork Island to build the weapon in order for Bear King to become the Pirate King. The weapon was ultimately destroyed when Luffy threw one of the bullets back and caused the glass ground below the cannon to shatter, with both the cannon and Bear King falling off and exploding.
The King Cannon is a four-wheeled tank with a giant cannon barrel that resembles a screw mounted on it, decoratively designed with the four card suits (spade, heart, club and diamond). On the left side of the tank is a meter gauge that shows how much charge is achieved before the cannon can be fired, and the back is a ramp loading giant bullet-shaped cannonballs with a drill design. The cannon can fire these bullets with drilling force strong enough to cause shock waves that spread throughout part of the ocean.
Ships[]
Each captain commanded several pirateships that are adorned with card symbols and animal figureheads suited to them. The main ship's figurehead is a bear with a bathtub on the top.
History[]
East Blue Saga[]
Clockwork Island Adventure[]
The siblings ruled over Clockwork Island for years in their headquarters, the Trump Castle, and forced the scientists to build the King Cannon, a cannon that can fire devastating drilling bullets. They planned to use the King Cannon to make their leader into the Pirate King, but met opposition from the Straw Hat Pirates alongside Borodo and Akisu. Eventually, the entire Trump Siblings were defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates.
Their top members names refer to the most important cards of a deck of cards in which most card games revolve around - Jack, Joker, Queen, King and Ace.
The Trump Pirates has the lowest known bounty for a non-canon group.
