In order to qualify for this list is rather simple, Pirate Captains or general pains in the Marine's side that have the title Beard (which would include No Beard) as well as they often possess a ether large crew or are somewhat dangerous. The main reason this group even exsists is due to the likelyhood that Akainu as they new Fleet Admiral would likely personally realize the danger that both Whitebeard and Blackbeard caused him personally which would lead pirates with similar titles that may have been over looked before to be more closely watched and likely seen as more of a real threat then just kids that are playing too rough in the yard of the marines. I believe that after Whitebeard beat him in such a brutal fashion that he would hold a personal hatred toward the "Bearded" ones as well making him at least have a small division possibly even a secret group of marines to look closer at these Pirates and assess their true threat.

A perfect example would be that Purplebeard on his own would likely not drew much attention and despite his bounty would likely be called a joke by the former Fleet Admiral or any old timer when they concider their real power, however Akainu would likely notice how he was able to bring together several other seemingly weaker pirates together which together could be a real threat making himself easily a real threat in the long run. To make this short Yes No Beard does technically apply to this group, however the ones that would likely even know this group by the title of "Beard Alliance" would likely be the marines incharge in looking into the past and actions of these said pirates making the over all marines likely to at least notice them possibly more or less depending on their actions after Akainu came to power.
