Beasts Pirates

The **Beasts Pirates** are an extremely infamous and powerful pirate crew led by Kaidou of the Seven Emperors. They are based in Wano Country, specifically headquartered on Onigashima.

For the past 25 years, the crew consolidated its power in Wano, which they occupied through an alliance with the country's shogun, Kurozumi Orochi.[5][7] In the present time, the Beasts Pirates have entered into a new alliance with the Big Mom Pirates, another Emperor crew, for plans to conquer the world; these plans, per Kaidou's "New Onigashima Project", eventually saw Orochi be deemed unnecessary and disposed of by Kaidou during the latest Fire Festival.

## Jolly Roger

The crew's Jolly Roger consists of a skull placed centrally above four intersected crossbones (one vertical, one horizontal, and a diagonal pair, similar to the Blackbeard Pirates's flag). The skull is leaner than the traditional shape, mildly frowning based on its narrowed eye sockets, has upward-curving horns like Kaidou's, and is further flanked left and right by two long rectangles that are slightly bent into outward-facing arcs, set behind the horns and crossbones. Initially seen depicted as white,[10] the rectangles are colored lavender on the sails of Queen's ship.

## Organization

### Crew Structure

The Beasts Pirates are a massive pirate organization; a roughly 50,000-strong army organized along simple yet strict hierarchical lines, effectively able to operate as a massive fleet. Kaido as the Governor-General is at the top holding complete dominance over everyone. Directly below him rank is his General and Right-hand Dyne below are the five executive officers (the All-Stars or "Calamities") to whom a large number of second-ranking officers (the Shinuchi) answer. The latter are spearheaded by a select few: the Tobiroppo, who are the strongest among them. The bottom ranks, comprised of legions of rank and file, are further grouped into three divisions: the roughly 1000 "elite" Gifters (all granted Artificial Zoan powers in Kaidou's efforts to create the world's strongest crew made up entirely of Devil Fruit users), roughly nine times as many Pleasures (those who have failed to gain abilities from eating Artificial Zoan fruits), and finally the lowest-level foot soldiers (and presumably the most numerous) called Waiters (those who await their chance to get Artificial Zoan powers). The Numbers (artifical imitations of the ancient giant race) are yet another special group, although where precisely, if at all, they fit into the hierarchy is unknown;[18] however, at least one, worked under Black Maria, one of the Tobiroppo.

To bolster his forces, Kaido is ever on the lookout for strong new fighters to forcibly recruit, most notably seeming to target distinguished New World pirate captains, whose crews will see themselves fully subsumed into the Beasts Pirates over time. Of desired recruits, those that willingly submit to Kaidou are gladly welcomed, whereas those that resist and stand against him are crushed, captured, and then continuously tortured and forced into penal labor until their spirit breaks and they submit as well.

#### All-Stars

The All-Stars (大看板 Ōkanban?, English version: Lead Performers) are the crew's top executives, third and second only to Kaidou and Dyne in rank, authority, and battle prowess, and serve as Kaidou's handpicked, close confidants and protectors. The five men holding this rank — King, Spade, Club, Queen, and Jack — are informally referred to as the Calamities (災害 Saigai?) for their respective epithets, each corresponding to a type of disaster. Jack is called "the Drought" for his general destructiveness that renders any land he rampages on ruined, as if a drought has occurred. Queen is called "the Plague" for his expertise in creating and weaponizing various artificial diseases. Club is called "the Blizzard" that any land that he roam into where a heavy blizzard occurs. Spade is called "the Magnitude" that anytime he fights that the entire ground was shaking erractically due to his earth manipulation abilities. King is called "the Conflagration" because he can create fire from his body and use it to augment his attacks.

In terms of combat ability, the All-Stars have proven themselves very fearsome: Jack, for example, was able to fight one-on-one for five full days straight against the two rulers (and strongest warriors) of the Mink Tribe, who took turns against him every twelve hours, and he was never at risk of being defeated. In keeping with their status and strength, the five have incredibly high, ten-figure bounties, with Jack's at  1,000,000,000,  Queen's at  1,320,000,000, Club's at  1,330,000,000, Spade's at  1,350,000,000, and King's at  1,390,000,000.[66] Each All-Star possesses an Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability, greatly bolstering their physical prowess and granting them advantageous physical attributes: Jack can become a woolly mammoth, Queen a brachiosaurus, Club a brontosaurus, Spade a Tyrannosaurus, and King a pteranodon.

While Queen is a human cyborg, Club is a Okama, Jack is a fish-man, Spade is part of the spartan race a subrace of giants and King part of the fire-creating lunarian race, which is widely thought to be extinct.
