Elsie's Pirate Crew

* Anime
* Manga

**Elsie's Pirate Crew** (エルシー海賊団, **Erushī Kaizoku-dan**?) were the crew of the Skull Fairy led by Elsie Crimson of the Oración Seis Galáctica.

## History

By X492, Elsie's power and notoriety earned her a spot among the Oración Seis Galáctica, where she became known as the "Armored Space Pirate" who conquered the Seven Cosmic Seas, with a fleet of space pirates at her command. Eventually, she acquired a flagship called the "Skull Fairy" for her fleet and kept the disguised Edens Zero as a storage ship.

### Intro arc

After Shiki Granbell leaves Granbell with Rebecca and Happy, Behrman rushes to inform Elsie at the bridge of the Skull Fairy about Ziggy's adopted grandson being spotted on Blue Garden, which she tells him to set course to the Planet of Adventurers.

### Norma arc

Elsie and a small group of her crew including Jesse and Behrman arrive at Blue Garden and enters the premises of Shooting Starlight the Adventurer's Guild, looking for Shiki whom she asks Clarisse Layer about him at the reception booth. Upon finding out that Shiki, Rebecca, and Happy had left for Planet Norma from one of its guild members, she informs everyone that the planet is already dead.

### Skull Fairy arc

After Shiki and his crew escaped from the post-Chronophage Norma, Elsie and her crew intercepts the Aqua Wing with a tractor beam and pulled them inside the ship that appeared to be the Skull Fairy before making contact with them. The Armored Space Pirate claims to her captives that she and her crew are on their way to Guilst to sell them as slaves.

When Shiki and his friends invade the ship and capture it, they encountered Elsie and her space pirates who seemingly attack them with alien tentacle mutations. After subduing them, it turns out that they are Kawpicatts who imitated the Armored Space Pirate and her crew with their DNA traces and infested the storage ship that is later revealed to be the Edens Zero.

At the actual Skull Fairy, Elsie thanks them for the extermination job and declares that the captured ship now belongs to Shiki and his crew as a debt of gratitude she owed to Ziggy who entrusted her in his request to give the ship to his adopted grandson. Although the Armored Space Pirate states that it's more fun to see what Shiki can do in battle than just simply hand it over like that. She also scolds Behrman and orders him to delete the inappropriate pictures of Rebecca being in a sticky and compromising situation with Kawpicatt tentacles that he took at her expense.

The Armored Space Pirate also reveals to Shiki and his friends that she did not have to worry about giving away just one ship to them for she has a vast fleet of space pirate ships at her command.

Then the Interstellar Union Army fleet led by Justice of the Oración Seis Interstellar confronted Elsie and her forces and engaged them in battle. Jesse and Behrman reassures Shiki and his crew that they will be alright and tells them to escape from the battlefield, which Elsie agrees and tells Shiki to escape with his new ship, stating that her debt to Ziggy has been repaid.

As the battle with the government forces continues, one of Elsie's space pirate ships has taken serious damage but Elsie declared that they are not moving until Shiki and his friends are out of the way, which they manage to do so shortly. The Armored Space Pirate then ordered her fleet to prepare to leave the sector and tells them to hurry.

### Edens One arc

After the Skull Fairy saved the Edens Zero from being destroyed by the Edens One, Jesse and Behrman attend a meeting between their leader and the Crew of Edens in the Briefing Room where they explain about Elsie's inadequate skill with the machines despite her strength and reputation as the Armored Space Pirate, and how she became a pirate after stealing food and supplies from multiple spaceports out of desperation which Elsie shamelessly grins about it.

### Foresta arc

After the Skull Fairy arrived in the Coral Sector, a neutral territory in the Aoi Cosmos, the space pirates overhear Elsie learning that Ziggy must have come to the Aoi Cosmos and may have gone to see Poseidon Nero which she hopes she is wrong. The Armored Space Pirate tells Behrman that they are both kings to either pay each other respect or destroy each other. She cheerfully states that she would rather not deal with Nero and tells her crew to find a good planet with good food and stay there for a while. However, they inform Elsie in alarm that the Interstellar Union Army fleet has appeared and pursues after the Skull Fairy which she mutters Justice's name in annoyance. The space pirates are surprised to hear Elsie accusing Jesse for bringing the Cosmic Government forces and then reveals him to be an agent of the Galactic Intelligence Agency.

Enraged, the crew demands Jesse's execution for treason and spying inside the Skull Fairy, but Elsie calms them down that he is just a boy and intends to let him go home. The Armored Space Pirate reveals to her subordinates that she knew Jesse was a spy for about a month and did not say anything until now, despite Behrman's concerns that Jesse may have leaked all of their secrets to the Cosmic Government. However, the Princess Guard, Gowen and Hyoga, appear on the bridge and reassure the crew that they made the important intel that Jesse supposedly sent untransmittable and that Elsie cannot handle intel so she came to them for help but start bickering over with each other over who she came to first. The female Galáctica member explains to a compromised Jesse that Gowen and Hyoga used to be a firefighter and a doctor, respectively, before becoming space pirates and the rest of her crew comes from different backgrounds, believing that even a G.I.A. agent could become a part of the family after living with them for a while, and claiming that is why she did not reveal him until now. After Jesse lividly declares that she will never beat the Interstellar Union Army, Elsie is further disappointed and has him placed inside a space pod and ejected back to Justice and his Cosmic Government forces that are in pursuit of them. An upset Gowen and Hyoga declare that they need to do better background checks for every new crew member to prevent this happening again. However, Elsie insists that she will continue to welcome all, regardless of background, believing that their time together creates bonds between them and living life on a ship creates a family, remembering her time on the Edens Zero with the original Four Shining Stars who took her in as a child. With the two Princess Guard members simply conceded by their leader's words, the Armored Space Pirate orders her crew to set course for Foresta.

Upon landing on the Verdant Planet, Elsie and her crew are confronted by a mob of hostile bots. Sighing at their hostility, she comments that no one is happy to see space pirates, though she agrees with Hyoga's statement, where she states that there is something wrong on this planet that forced the machines to attack the humans whether they want to or not. The female Oración Seis Galáctica member pities them but also declares that she must protect her family and asks them to forgive her. She transforms her outfit with Star Drain: Foresta much to the delight of her crew and Behrman, and the fluster of her two Princess Guards and uses Grand Chariot to defeat the mob of robots which attracts the attention of Justice's Team.
