**The 9 Pieces of 8** were an infamous group of Grugandan pirates from the 5th Age. Not just confined to the ocean, the 9 Pieces of 8 carried out daring raids all across the world, and even battled against the Lynch King's forces during the Battle of the South. After the war, however, the 9 Pieces of 8 fragmented, and by the 6th Age, only two members remained alive. They would, after some time alone, join to help create the Vibe Gang.

While many were familiar with the crew, few saw their ship in battle and lived to tell the tale, leading some to believe they were a mercenary group and not actually pirates. Despite their name, there were sometimes more, and sometimes less, than 9 members of the 9 Pieces of 8.

## Members

* **Captain Olaf** was the crew's original captain. Not much is known about him, but the crew's ship first ship, the *Swimming Hollander,* belonged to him. Both he and the ship met their end in battle with the Dread Pirate Roberts, though not in the same battle.
* **Pirate King** took over after Olaf's demise, and led the group for many successful years of plunder. When he wasn't hunting for treasure, Pirate King was a competitive Dark Souls player and hobbyist filmmaker, taking over as the creator of the Spooky House franchise after his younger brother, the original creator, was killed by Vegan. Pirate King would be the last true member of the crew, forming his own gang of land pirates with Cyberpunk in 7802 AMS.
* **Camden** was the crew's cabin boy and artist. Using his chalk zone powers, Camden created the crew's second ship, the *Flying Dutchman*, and was Pirate King's closest friend. During the Racism War Camden was captured and tortured by Lynch Knights, resulting in him becoming mute.
* **Prince Hamlet** was a former Norwegian royal who was forced to abandon his life of luxury around the time of the Weeaboo invasion. He was well liked and friendly, and received a funny light up pen for Christmas. Hamlet manned the ship's cannons, and died during a raid in Shurima.
* Boatswain **Whole Dit** often worked as the crew's muscle, helping carry out various plunderings. Dit was one of the many crewmates to become separated from the Pirate King after an extended week of drinking during the lead up to Christmas. He did not, however, side with the traitorous parrot, and returned to the crew after receiving new hair.
* At first glance, **Parrot** seemed to be a normal talking parrot, you know, the kind that goes "RWWWAH" and sits around on people's shoulders? In actuality, he was a criminal mastermind who sought to take over the crew. During one fateful Christmas season, Parrot led the crew on a night of raucous drinking, in an attempt to incapacitate them while he stole the treasure. However, Parrot did not know how to sail off by himself, and was found and killed by the Pirate King.
* **K'nuckles, Squib,** and **Ahab One-Eye** were members of the crew during the Racism war. The three traveled alongside Pirate King as he searched for Camden, and battled the Lynch King during the Battle of the South, where Squib was killed by Fools Goldado. Ahab and K'nuckles would leave the crew after Richmond's new maritime laws made piracy less profitable, with K'nuckles later being horribly disfigured and turned blue by a Sea Witch.
