Main enemy? Well, the No Beards themselves all are, but if you want an exact individual, it'd have to be Sharp Francis; the one known as No Beard.

As for how big a threat he is to the World Government, well, he started off as a terrorist who attacked the Marines and government at random. He was just a small time criminal back then. Upon being captured and interrogated for information regarding his latest act of terror (by Benedict Lo no less,) Francis managed to corrupt Lo's otherwise law-abiding mind due to his sheer nature. He would later break free from the Marines' hold on him, with Lo in tow, and the two would form The No Beard Pirates together, as Francis believed piracy was a quicker and more efficient form of dealing with the government.

So, his threat escalated from simple terrorist to an escaped prisoner turned pirate captain, who had recruited a very skilled Marine interrogator (Benedict Lo) alongside him. As Lo is an interrogation specialist, she possesses valuable information the Marines do not want falling into the wrong hands.

Afterward, Francis recruits more dangerous and threatening people into his crew, and they begin destroying Marine, World Government and even Shichibukai property, as well as going as far as to steal what they own too. Pretty much, they start committing various minor crimes while Francis attempts to get rid of the authoritative control the World Government possesses.

After the time skip, Francis finally steps up his game and creates his No Beard Pirate Army. Thing is though, this clearly makes Francis a HUGE threat in my story, among other reasons. But the Marines and World Government have little knowledge of the No Beard Pirate Army right now, so Francis is still just a potentially dangerous element running around in the New World.

To make a long comment short, it goes one of two ways. There's how the Marines and government see Francis; a potential problem that's steadily rising, much like any pirate captain. And then there's how WE see him; a plotting anarchist pirate who will utterly throw the world into chaos and destruction if he isn't stopped.

Hope that clears things up. Sorry for the length.
