Ouroboros Pirates

Type:

The **Ouroboros Pirates** (*Romaji:* **Uroborosu Kaizokudan**; *Kanji:* **ウロボロス 海賊団**) is the Pirate crew of Pythia, one of the Yonko.

The crew originates from and is based in the Calm Belts island of Amazon Lily and seems to hold control over that entire Calm Belt constraining and controlling the transit between Paradise and South Blue entirely. By monopolizing the border between 2 of the world's 6 oceans the Ouroboros Pirates are able to amass tremendous amounts of resources and manpower by providing numerous services, controlling the flow of goods and scouting potential recruits early through their transportation services.

Unlike most Yonko Crew who hold territory by establishing bases and building permanent settlements the Ouroboros crew is able to maintain a territory as large and obvious as an entire calm belt without being destroyed by the Marines by the incredible mobility and quality of their ships, with the domesticated Yuda providing them the ability to cross the Calm Belts easily and rapidly at a fraction of the cost and many times the Scalability of Seastone lined ships.

### ***Boats***

#### **Red Serpents**

The typical boat of the Ouroboros Pirates is known as a **Red Serpent**, they are asian inspired ships made from primarily materials acquired from the Tree of Nachash and other resources controlled by Pythia thus having the following advantages:

* The **wood** and **sails** which makes up the boat are not only of a good quality but they possess a number of special properties which allow them to **regenerate** from non-fire damage as well as being more durable to wear and tear than normal ships with an assortment of miscellaneous benefits which allow for long stays in the sea.
* The **ropes** of the boats which control all the steering are actually extremely long and durable Snake Weapons and thus the ship can be controlled without the need of people, having only a Kuja issuing commands to steer while everyone else can dedicate themselves to other things.
* Every Red Serpent possesses one Yuda attached it's underside or it's front which can tow the ship ahead when there is no favorable wind to push the ship but more importantly the Yuba serves the primary purpose of fending off Sea Kings and other sea creatures on top of being extra manpower.

#### **Crimson Mambas**

The Crimson Mambas are the larger warships of the fleet, many sizes bigger than the Red Serpents, they possess many of the materials and technology of the smaller ships but are distinguished by having 2-5 Yuda's towing them or swimming alongside them at all times. A single one of these ships has enough personnel and weapons on board to seige a town, with the Captains of these ships typically being the Division Commanders of the Ouroboros Pirates.

### ***Weapons***

#### **Snake Weapons & Yuda's**

The Ouroboros Pirates are infamous for breeding a ridiculous number of Snake Weapons and Yuda's on the Southern Calmbelt on a massive industrial scale, they have managed to breed so many of them for use in constructing ships that they use the excess created as weapon substitutes in the case f snake weapons or release them to attack their enemies and their ships in the case of Yudas.

#### **Poisons**

A byproduct of their ship making project is a tremendous amount of poisonous sap which is kept in barrels to be used as a chemical weapon against settlements by dumping it into their water supplies or used to coat weapons to inflict additional damage.

#### **Apple of Discord**

Another byproduct of the Tree of Nachash which allows those who eat one of the apples the chance to partially transform, most often erroneously, into a hybrid of snake and man in an imitation of a Zoan devil fruit but with a lot less benefits and control with little upside. Those who successfully survive the process of eating one of these apples are welcomed into the ???.
