**The Blossom Pirates** are a group of self proclaimed pirates that originated from the East Blue. Their founder and previous captain Mai Surui formed the group on Polestar Islands in Loguetown with her childhood friend, Delwin and an aqquatance at the time; Gregory Wingate. After a scuffle with a phantom remains of the Thanksgiving Turkey that lurked within the former Conomi Island Marine Base and seperation from Greg, the Blossom Pirates recruited Sana Tsuga to the group as their navigator and Polly as their pet parrot, before their arrival on the Organ Islands which they temporarly had Kira & Snowflake join them as well as recruited Amahime.

After accidentally sailing into the Calm Belt, Kira and Snowflake left the group to their fate, where they were captured by **Commander Castlegiler** due to a mistaken identity before being released shortly after Marine Beach Day after they were briefly aided Tack in the defense of Mcvitt's Captial City from a Birch Elm Goliath.

They would then be brought to the Start of the Grandline where they encountered and were joined by Mara and once again Tack, as well as recruit a Bear Mink known as Rlankr. However, this groups flourishment of members was short lived as they headed to the **Kuma Archipelgio** shortly afterwards which following incidents decimated the group: Mara and Tack both left respectively and Rlankr and their captain; Mai were killed by the Golden Jester for medaling in his affairs.

The group now consists soley of four members: **Delwin Ale, the new captain, Sana Tsuga the Navigator, Polly the Lookout & Amahime the Cook.**

## Ships

### The NovaChrono

The Novachrono is the flagship of the Blossom Pirates, it is a giant sized longboat that can house a giant like Gregory Wingate. It boasts a huge, sturdy frame and massive sails that can some time to completely unfurl. It is most notiablly, a ship made by the byproduct of the Devil Fruit in possion of a Boatsman by the name of **Whatshisname.** As such, the boat created by his **Boat Boat Fruit** is bound to a person (similar to how in JoJo's Part 3, Forever used his Stand; Strength and bound it to a boat to make his boat the stand.) which makes the boat practically invincible to damage. However, this strength also has a great weakness, as if the person the boat fruit user selected to be bound to the boat dies, the ship begins to break apart slowly, before eventually being rendered completely useless.
