Shin and Ika Hunters

The Shin and Ika Hunters (真とイカハンター Shin to Ika Hantā) were a bounty hunting crew of two people; Shin and Ika. The group was formed in East Blue, just a few years after the execution of Gol D. Roger and the start of the Great Age of Pirates. It was formed through the combined desires of its members; with Shin wishing to lead a life of adventure, away from Loguetown, and Ika wishing to become the most famous bounty hunter in history by catching the next person to become Pirate King.

Tragically, the group wouldn't last long. After a mishap during a battle against a crew of pirates, a crew of Marines appeared and, in the name of the World Government's doctrine of Absolute Justice, not only ended up killing the pirates, but Shin as well. After grieving and mourning the loss of his closest friend, Ika chose to disband the Shin and Ika Hunters, and restart his bounty hunting career with the Ika Bounty Hunters.

Dreams

 * Shin: To go on adventures
 * Ika: To become the world's greatest bounty hunter by catching the next Pirate King

Trivia

 * The name of the group was chosen with the word play surrounding Ika's name in mind. As Ika can mean "fake" or "false" in Japanese, and as Shin's name means "true," the duo often had their group's name comically misinterpreted as the True and False Hunters, rather than the True and Squid Hunters, as was intended.
