The Sea Devil Pirates



Introduction
The Sea Devil Pirates or The Sea Devils are a powerful crew of outlaws, led by The White Demon Zero Hotaru. They are not like most crews they uphold a strict code that doesn't allow them to harm innocent people only other pirate crews or Marines. Each member is fearless and more than willing to fight anyone who thinks they're strong enough.

Jolly Roger
The Sea Devil's Jolly roger is a black and white stylized Oni mask on a white background. While most One masks are rounded this version is very squared almost robot like. It has black markings over the white mask, these markings have a tribal styling and seem to create a "mask" around the features.

Crew Strength
The Sea Devils are relativly new but still very powerful. Having beaten many strong Marine commanders and pirates. Their main strength comes from their 5 strongest: Zero, Anna, Takeshi, Namihime and Yami, All 5 can cover most kinds of combat with their powers and talents. Zero acting as the all round melee fighter, Anna the speed type melee fighter, Takeshi the melee powerhouse, Namihime the ranged support/sniper type and Yami the Ambush and assassination specialist. The main tactic for these 5 woudl be; Zero charges in with Anna and Takeshi breaking the enemy lines and killing the bulk of them off. Namihime would give them covering fire as they advance and Yami would distrupt any reenforcements and supplies.

After the time skip the top 5 changed to the top 6 with Idate gaining a great deal of power from his training with The Storm Fist master of on The Croshen Islands. He even learnt Rokushiki from a MArine Commandore who settled on The Croshenese Islands, While he didn't learnt Rokuogan he learnt the other skills and adapted them for his own useage.

"Rituals"
The Sea Devils have various rituals for certain things, These either bring good luck or are jsut quirks the crew members picked up over time.
 * Zero's rituals range from praying to his fallen crew every morning and night, training for atleast 2 hours a day, clapping his hands 4 times before eating (he makes the rest fo the crew do it as well) and ring a bell on the doorway of his room each time he leaves.
 * Anna's rituals consite of sharpening her blades each morning, wistle a tune form her home after sharpening her blades and read a book before bed.

Relationships amongst the Crew
THe crew is like a big, crazy, disfunctional family. The normal routine for them is waking up, having breakfast, arguing over breakfast, find somewhere to go, argue about where to go, Get smacked over the head by Anna, Get into a fight with pirates or Marines and maybe get something done. Other than that they're loyal to death to eachother.

"Divisions"
Over their career the Sea Devils have build a large group of allies. These allies are minor crews located in The Grand Line and New World who've had they're rears handed to them and given an ultimatum "Fight with us or die". Most chose to live and now act as the eyes and ears of THe Sea Devils. Also as Zero and Ayane are Croshenese, the Royal Croshen Family have deployed 20 Croshenese Privateers to each of the Four Blue Seas (5 ships in each sea) to act similar to the Grand Line and New World Pirates.
