==Crew Members==
==Crew Strength==
The World Pirates were a formidable crew three decades prior to present history, as their captain being both their strongest member and a former prisoner in Level 6 of Impel Down. In the past, they were known for starting a campaign of massive destruction to both pirates, Marines, and even World Nobles alike that the World Government had formed an alliance between the Marines and other pirates who held a grudge against World. In present day, the Government would call upon all seven Warlords to face them. The combined strength of the crew officers can destroy a whole Marine warship in under a minute, while their captain alone can destroy two warships and a World Nobles' frigate at once in under 50 seconds. 
However, despite their strengths, the main members of the crew were still defeated by Luffy and Hancock alone with both of them only having moderate difficulty defeating them. Though this can be attributed to them being well past their prime by this point. 
==Ship==
The crew's ship, Groseade, is a massive ship that takes the form of an island and functions as a submersible that can swim underwater. Described as the crew's dream ship, it was built by their shipwright Gairam during World's imprisonment to escape the Marines, using materials stolen by Sebastian and Nightin. It is armed with a massive cannon that can decimate an island from several thousand kilometers away (a feat only capable from the likes of the Ancient Weapons and the Dyna Stones) and could even threaten Mary Geoise when combined with their captain's Devil Fruit ability. The ship was eventually destroyed by the Marines and the Warlord Dracule Mihawk.
==History==
===Past===
The World Pirates were formed by Byrnndi World and his brother, Byojack, with the intention of freedom and having adventures. However, they clashed with many pirates and Marines, and eventually the World Nobles themselves. Because of their captain's campaign of terror, the crew became a recognized threat to the World Government itself. They eventually clashed with an Government-sanctioned alliance of pirates, whom held a grudge against World, and Marines lead by Vice Admirals Garp and Sengoku well as their respective fleets.
During an intensive battle between both parties, the World Pirates had the upper hand and nearly forced their enemies to retreat. However, the World Pirates were betrayed by their own subordinates, whom were deceived by agents of Cipher Pol into turning on their captain and shooting him with pistols. Byrnndi World was shocked, and feeling betrayed then collapsed, all the while overhearing his main officers, including his brother, escape. This led him to believe that his crew had abandoned him. 
World was taken to Level 6 of Impel Down while the rest of the crew went into hiding, all while building their dream ship to help escape the Marines. However, World would escape thirty years later along with other inmates during a massive breakout orchestrated by the Blackbeard Pirates.
===3D2Y===
After World escaped from Impel Down, he reunited with his crew, and together they destroyed a World Noble's ship and their Marine escort. After they reconvened at their ship, World announces his new goal of enacting revenge against the World Government by destroying their capital of Mary Geoise using the ship's island-destroying artillery enhanced by their captain's Devil Fruit ability. However, Byojack intercepts a Government transmission summoning the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which World decides to kidnap Boa Hancock as their hostage. They traveled to Rusukaina, and, after capturing her sisters Boa Marigold and Boa Sandersonia, World fought Monkey D. Luffy and defeats him. However, Luffy together with Buggy and Boa Hancock, would go on and invade the Groseade, defeating Sebastian, Gairam, and Nightin in the process. 
After the crew was defeated by Luffy and Hancock, World told his brother that he used him to carry out his objectives and for nothing more. After World was defeated by Luffy, he apologized to Byojack for the treatment of his crew. World died, and, as the Marines attacked and destroyed Groseade, Byojack stood by his brother. The rest of the crew likely died in the ship's explosion.
