Arlong Pirates
The Arlong Pirates are a mermen pirate crew that came to East Blue from the Grand Line 8 years ago. They invaded Nami's hometown Cocoyashi village in the Conomi Islands and collected taxes from the villagers, essentially holding them hostage. The captain of the Arlong Pirates is Arlong, who is ruthless and bloodthirsty, but also loyal to his comrades.
It is unclear whether the Arlong Pirates are the entire crew that remained of the Mermen Pirates after Jinbei became a Shichibukai, or if they are just a small faction of it that split off from a larger abandoned crew. It is believed that this will be explained when the Strawhats reach Mermen island.
Crewmembers:
- Kuroobi
- Chew
- Hacchi
