Can you believe that Luffy, the rubbery hero we all adore, would eventually lead a grand fleet boasting over five thousand pirates flying the Straw Hat banner? While Luffy never intended to have subordinates, during the Dressrosa arc, various pirate crews inspired by his bravery pledged their allegiance to the Straw Hats. After sharing drinks with their captain, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet emerged, comprising seven extraordinary pirate crews.
As we dive into the final saga of the One Piece series, we can expect all members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet to return and play crucial roles in the imminent war. Let’s explore every pirate crew and their members, part of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, in this detailed guide.

7. Ideo Pirates
- Captain: Ideo
- Total Members: 4
- Bounty: Unknown
- Ship: Unknown
Interestingly, the Ideo Pirates, previously known as the “XXX Gym Martial Arts Alliance,” adopted a much simpler name. Although this crew ranks among the smallest in both the Straw Hat Grand Fleet and the entire One Piece universe, they were formed relatively recently, at the end of the Dressrosa saga.
Comprising Ideo, Blue Gilly, Abdullah, and Jeet, these four united quickly, joining the ranks of Luffy’s crew. Ideo, a skilled fighter from the long arm tribe and a two-time champion of the New World Central Fighting Tournament, leads this diverse crew. Blue Gilly, hailing from the long leg tribe, excels in Jao Kun Do martial arts, while Abdullah and Jeet are known bounty hunters.
Despite their smaller size, their determination is key as they navigate the challenges ahead. Luckily, Orlumbus gifted them a ship, which can only bolster their efforts as part of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.
6. Yonta Maria Grand Fleet
- Captain: Orlumbus
- Total Members: 4300
- Bounty: 148,000,000 Berries (approximately €27,000)
- Ship: Yonta Maria
Orlumbus, an adventurer from the Standing Kingdom, crossed paths with Luffy during the gladiatorial battles at Dressrosa. Post-battle, he dedicated himself, along with his impressive crew of 4300 members, to Luffy’s journey.
This maritime fleet, now operating full-time as pirates under the Straw Hats, is notable for its size, featuring around 56 ships. The Yonta Maria Grand Fleet has made a significant mark among the other crews.
5. Beautiful Pirates
- Captain: Cavendish
- Total Members: 75
- Bounty: 397,000,000 Berries (approximately €73,000)
- Ship: Sleeping White Horse of the Forest
Cavendish, a prince pushed out of his home kingdom for his beauty, led 74 loyal followers to form the Beautiful Pirates. Quickly rising to notoriety, Cavendish emerged as one of the Super Rookies in the New World.
In his quest for the Mero Mero no Mi, Cavendish met Luffy in Dressrosa, which ultimately cemented the Beautiful Pirates’ position within the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. Their true potential, however, is still largely uncharted.
4. Tontatta Pirates
- Captain: Leo
- Total Members: 200
- Bounty: Unknown
- Ship: Usoland
Don’t underestimate the Tontatta Kingdom’s dwarves; their strength is unparalleled. Initially forming the Tonta Corps to take down Doflamingo, they transformed into pirates after their victory, led by Leo.
After aligning with the Straw Hats, the Tontatta Pirates have remained committed allies. Their well-deserved reputation will surely shine in the battles to come.
3. Barto Club
- Captain: Bartolomeo
- Total Members: 56
- Bounty: 267,000,000 Berries (approximately €49,000)
- Ship: Going Luffy-senpai
Bartolomeo is arguably Luffy’s biggest admirer. Inspired by Luffy’s bravery during the Marineford War, he decided to become a pirate. His crew consists of fellow gangsters, all equally fans of Luffy, as reflected in their ship’s name, “Going Luffy-senpai.”
Initially, Bartolomeo aimed to win the Mera Mera no Mi and send it to Luffy, earning a spot within the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. However, chaos often follows this crew. Recently, they encountered serious repercussions for challenging Shanks’ territory, which leaves their current status uncertain.
2. Happo Navy Pirates
- Captain: Don Sai
- Total Members: 1000
- Bounty: 752,000,000 Berries (approximately €138,000)
- Ship: Happosai
Don’t confuse the Happo Navy with the Marines; they are fiercely independent. This long-standing pirate crew has been led by the same lineage for 13 generations, with Don Sai as the current captain.
Entrusted to Luffy’s banner by Don Chinjao, the Happo Navy, renowned for their Hasshoken technique, is poised to play a significant role alongside the Straw Hats during the final war.
1. The New Giant Warrior Pirates
- Captain: Hajrudin
- Total Members: 5 members and 3 companions
- Bounty: Unknown
- Ship: Naglfar
Hajrudin, who is also the elder brother of Loki, heads the New Giant Warrior Pirates—guardians of the legacy of the original Giant Warrior Pirates. With only five core members, their strength is legendary.
Although this crew is relatively new, they quickly joined forces with Luffy during the Dressrosa arc and recently reunited in Elbaf Island, where new revelations about their journey and strength are emerging.
This concludes our overview of the pirate crews that currently comprise the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. With hints towards future additions revealed in ancient murals in Elbaf, we might be seeing even more exciting characters soon.
