Overview[]
The Straw Hat Pirates are the people Monkey D. Luffy (The Captain of the Straw Hat Pirate crew), considers valuable to his crew and will help him become the next ultimate pirate in the world, known as "The Pirate King". Luffy's crew consists of a master swordsman named Roronoa "Pirate Hunter" Zoro, a thief named "Cat Burglar" Nami, a marksman named "King of Snipers", later "God" Usopp, a chef named "Black Leg" Sanji, an anthropomorphic reindeer doctor named Tony Tony "Cotton Candy Lover" Chopper, an archeologist named Nico "Demon Child" Robin, a shipwright named "Cyborg" Franky, a talking skeleton named "Dead Bones" prior, "Humming" and later "Soul King" Brook, and a fish-man helmsman "First Son of the Sea" Jinbe. Every crew mate or "nakama" has a one-of-a-kind talent and each one has extraordinary combat skills. Each one has a dream that keeps them going and one of the reasons they have joined the crew.
After Kaido and Big Mom's downfalls, Luffy became a new member of the Four Emperors and his crewmates became the subordinates of the Emperor himself known as the 9 Senior Officers who have command over the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. Luffy can recruit anyone who wished to join his crew or become his subordinate crew under his flag at anytime in order to increase the strength of his crew or just to provide their safety. When invading Egghead, Luffy, his crew and Bonney intend to escape with Vegapunk from Marines' large group and the Five Elders. They managed to escape with the assistance of Bartholomew Kuma, the Giant Warrior Pirates and Emeth. However, the Straw Hats couldn't save Vegapunk and his satellites (except for Lilith). After escaping Egghead, the Straw Hats and their allies relocate themselves to Elbaf. Little did the Straw Hats know, the Vegapunk satellites are in fact, alive and escaped with the Punk Records as well Jaygarcia Saturn was executed by Imu for failing his master of letting Luffy escaped.

History[]
The Straw Hat Pirates are a small but powerful pirate crew that originated from East Blue but have various members from different areas. They are named after Luffy's signature hat that was given to him by Red-Haired Shanks and are first referred to as the Straw Hat Pirates by Smoker in Alabasta. The crew sailed on the Going Merry, their first official Straw Hat ship, up until the Water 7 Arc. After the Enies Lobby Arc, they obtain a new ship called the Thousand Sunny. The Straw Hats currently consist of ten members whose combined bounties equal 3,161,000,100 Berries.
Following the events on the Sabaody Archipelago, the first nine members were separated from one another. For two years, they trained in relatively isolated locations, becoming stronger for the sake of helping each other.
Following the events of the Dressrosa arc, the crew was also massively expanded; the main crew didn't change, but seven other pirate captains and their respective crews have pledged their allegiance to Luffy, forming the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.
Following the events of the Whole Cake Island Arc, Luffy's successful raid against Big Mom, the complete destruction of her castle, and his defeat of her top Commanders was made public knowledge by the journalist "Big News" Morgans. Furthermore, the formation of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet and the addition of a former Warlord to his crew (Jinbe) was also revealed to the masses. For this, Luffy is now considered the Fifth Emperor of the Sea in some circles of the world and the Straw Hats have become unambiguously recognized as one of the strongest pirate crews in the world.
After defeating Kaido and the Beast Pirates, the Straw Hat Pirates are now dubbed as the Yonko Crew when Luffy has officially became a Yonko by the Gorosei. Yamato (Kaido's daughter) wanted to join the Straw Hat Pirates, but not yet and needs to wait until she has been officially confirmed as a new member of the crew by the young captain himself, according to Jinbe. Due to Admiral Ryokugyu's invasion however, Yamato decided to stay at Wano to protect it from any invaders. Luffy left a replica of his crew's Jolly Roger to Wano when declared Wano is now his territory under his protection. Luffy's alliance with Law and the Heart Pirates officially ended after achieved their goals.
The Straw Hats went to Egghead where they meet Dr. Vegapunk. They are also with Jewelry Bonney (another member of the Worst Generation). They confronted CP0 who are intending to kill Vegapunk. Luffy and CP0 formed a temporarily alliance to defeat York and detained her. Luffy and the others soon confronted by a Marine fleet led by Kizaru and Jaygarcia Saturn. They've allied themselves with Bartholomew Kuma in act to repay their debts to the former Warlord for saving them 2 years ago during the Sabaody incident. Luckily, the Giant Warrior Pirates reinforcement lend by Dorry and Brogy, arrived to Egghead to help the Straw Hats escape. Saturn summoned the other Elders in attempt to kill the Straw Hats and prevent Vegapunk's video message. A mysterious robot (that was created by the Void Century 900 years ago as well attacked the Celestial Dragons 700 years later after its creation) appears due to Luffy's "Drums of Liberation" awakening while lamenting an apologies for Joy Boy. Saturn tries to kill Robin but the "weak trio" and Brook are protecting Robin even if it cost them their lives. However, the Five Elders were too late to stop the truth about the World Government's true nature and their latest scheme to destroy the world including involved with innocent people. The four of the Five Elders focused their attempt to destroy the Iron Giant to stop the broadcast, allowing Luffy, Dorry and Brogy of getting away. Nusjuro tries to destroy Thousand Sunny to prevent the Straw Hats from escaping but was intercepted by Zoro. Zoro and Jiinbe are holding off Nusjuro to buy the other crew members some time before they will make their way back to the Sunny. Luffy and the others managed to reach the Giant Warrior Pirates' ship and begin the escape. Mars attempted to stop them. Nami and the others are preparing to get away as well. Luffy and Bonney used Gear 5 to prepare to deal off Mars. Luffy, Bonney, Franky and Sanji sent Mars flying towards space. They were soon confrontted Ju Peter and Warcury who are attempting to stop their escape. Luffy punched Ju Peter while Warcury was punched by the Iron Giant as well Vegapunk's broadcast is still active. Atlas sacrificed herself to allow the Straw Hats escape to Egghead and held Nusjuro off by exploding herself. Emet will sacrifice itself to ensure Luffy and the others' escape. Saturn (while still as persistent) thinks Luffy and the others won't escape him which is nothing more than a pathetic effort. Luffy and Bonney easily defeated Saturn by punching him into a bloody pulp as well sending him falling down to the ocean but still persisted when he regenerates. The Straw Hats and the Giant Warrior Pirates successfully escaped from Egghead when Emeth used Joy Boy's Conqueror's Haki at the Five Elders, sending only 3 (Warcury, Nusjuro and Ju Peter) back to Mary Geiose as well Imu gets injured by Joy Boy's Haki, leaving Saturn all alone to confront Emeth. The Conqueror's Haki that Emet unleashed also knock out all Marines (including the Vice-Admirals), allowing Luffy and his allies to completely escaped from the Marines as well heading to Elbaf. Despite their efforts, they couldn't save Vegapunk and his satellites (except for Lilith who is the only satellite they've saved) but she revealed that her fellow satellites are in fact alive when they transfer their program into a single body and escaped with the Punk Records, Power Plant, Vegapunk's brain and the Mother Flame, foiling York's plans. Little did they know, Jaygarcia Saturn was soon executed by Imu for failing his master when allowing Luffy to escape from their grasps.
Strength[]
Despite having a small number of members, the Straw Hats are a very powerful crew. Their captain has continuously defeated people who are renowned for their incredible strength such as Crocodile, Gekko Moriah and Donquixote Doflamingo of the Shichibukai, the highly feared tyrant Enel from Skypiea, the infamous Rob Lucci of the CP9 and Kaido of the Four Emperors. The crew itself has done things which most would think impossible and completely insane like defeating an entire organization (such as Baroque Works, Thriller Bark, CP9, the Donquixote Pirates and the Beast Pirates), punching a World Noble and breaking in and out of the judicial island, Enies Lobby. In fact, after the incident that occurred at Enies Lobby, the World Government has labeled them as a very dangerous crew since their actions endangered the balance of the Three Great Powers. After Kaido, his crew and Big Mom's defeats, the Straw Hat Pirates are widely known the Emperor's crew.
All of them have at least one talent at which they are virtually perfect at, and each member is, more or less, a formidable if not downright fearsome fighter in their own right. While all of them have amazing strength in one way or another, three of them, the captain, the swordsman, and the chef, have such astonishingly inhuman strength that the rest of the crew have dubbed them the "Monster Trio". Luffy is now a member of the Four Emperor replacing Kaido. After Luffy became an Emperor, his crewmates are widely known as the 9 senior officers who commands over the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.
After Luffy's ascend as an Emperor, the Straw Hat Pirates can recruit anyone who wished to join them as their subordinate crew under their flag to either increasing the crew's strength or provide their own safety. They managed to escape from the Five Elders and a large Marine army with the helps of the Giant Warrior Pirates and Emeth although they couldn't save Vegapunk and the rest of his satellites (except for Lilith) but revealed the satellites are technically alive.
Trivia[]
- Luffy said at the beginning of the series that he wanted a crew of at least ten people. By the start of the Final Saga, the Straw Hats are nine people (excluding Luffy).

- They are the youngest Yonko crew in history, as they managed to reach this position in about just 2 years from the beginning of their journey.
- According to Oda (the creator), there will be no romance or relation between the Straw Hat Pirates when they are already considered as a family, even the showrunners of the Netflix's One Piece live-action series, Matt Owens and Steven Maeda confirmed it.
