Crocodile is one of the Shichibukai, or Seven Armed seas when translated, who are pirates of incredible power who work for the government. Despite his government contract Crocodile organised a crime syndicate called Baroque Works which works in secrecy and where his second in command Miss All-Sunday (who is really Nico Robin) is the only one allowed to know that he is the head of the group.

Django

Django (ジャンゴ Jango)is the first mate of Captain Kuro. He uses disks that double as chakrams to hypnotize people to his advantage in battle. Django is the spelling used by the United States version of One Piece released in the U.S. Shonen Jump by Viz. He was known just as Jango

Django wears strange clothes, including a long coat covered in the disks he uses to fight and hypnotize, and black-lensed heart-shaped glasses. It can be assumed that his character was based on Michael Jackson, as when he travels he usually moonwalks, and he uses flashy gestures similar to Michael Jackson's dance moves. Other notable similarities can be put between his trench coat and his heart shaped sunglasses.

Django possesses the power of hypnosis, which he uses to put people to sleep and to make Captain Kuro's crew far more powerful and fierce. He is not, however, perfect with his hypnosis - when he puts people to sleep, he usually falls asleep as well. And when he hypnotized the crew to make them stronger, he also accidentally hypnotized Monkey D. Luffy - with unpleasant results.

Django was ordered by Kuro to kill Kaya, but before he could kill her, Usopp hits him with his exploding stars. Django was thought dead, but was alive in his own side-story, he ends up a Marine recruit, working alongside with Ironfist Fullbody(who is friend with Django under the command of Hina (whom they both adore).

Gaimon

Gaimon is a character that gets his body imprisoned in an empty treasure chest after he loses his grip while scaling a small cliff on the mysterious Island of Rare Animals trying to find some treasure with his pirate crew. The crew leaves Gaimon stranded on the island. The treasure chest becomes his body and cannot be removed, however, he can still use his hands, head and feet. It takes 20 years for another person to find him.

After Gaimon shrinks when he gets stuck in the chest, he can no longer scale the cliff. He has to protect his treasures somehow, so he would use his gun and his spooky voice to drive away intruders. Monkey D. Luffy and the whole crew passes the trial and they begin to become friends. However, when Luffy finally gets to the top of the cliff, Gaimon realized that the treasure chests were empty too and he had been protecting a nonexistant "treasure" for 20 years.

Gold Roger

Gold Roger is the former Pirate King, and the previous owner of the legendary treasure known as The One Piece. Gold Roger was quite fearless, those who saw him just before his execution claim that he smiled gleefully just before his death. In the anime, two men jabbed spears into his heart. In the Dub, he was hung to death.

The death of Gold Roger marked the beginning of the age of pirates. This was because his legendary treasure; The One Piece was now up for grabs, so people took to the seas in search of it.

Later on in the manga Dr. Kureha reveals that his true name was Gol D. Roger.

Kaya

Kaya is a rich girl who gets an inheritance after her parents die. Kaya becomes sickly, and her servant Klahadore often tends to her. One day, Usopp, the town liar, listens in on a conversation between Klahadore and Django, a hypnotist. Klahadore, also known as Captain Kuro, reveals that he plans to kill Kaya for her money. Usopp tries to warn Kaya about the plot, but Kaya believes that he is lying; therefore she hits him when he insists that he is telling the truth.

Kaya is later informed of the truth by Merry, another servant of hers. Kaya confronts Kuro during a battle between Kuro and his men and Monkey D. Luffy, Usopp, Nami, and Roronoa Zolo (Roronoa Zoro in the original Japanese anime and manga). Kuro reveals that he tried to kill Merry. Kaya aims a gun at Kuro, but she drops it and cries after Kuro talks about how he was publically at her side and how much he wants to kill her. Usopp tells his "pirate crew" (in reality a group of children who lie along with Usopp) named "Usopp's Pirates" (known as the Veggie Pirates in the English anime) to protect Kaya. The members, Carrot, Onion, and Pepper, flee with Kaya to the forest. Django chases after them and attacks the group. When the children try to sneak up on Django, he attacks them and threatens to kill them. Kaya threatens to kill herself unless the children are kept alive. As she has not yet signed a will that states that Kuro is to get Kaya's worth when she dies, Django would be in trouble if she kills herself at this point, so he agrees to leave the children alone. In the English version of the anime, it is explained that Kaya tries to use Django's chakrams against him, but the chakrams will not let her use them.

The children pretend to be knocked out when Django forces Kaya to sign the will. Right before Django is able to slice her throat apart, Usopp's pirates ram him with a shovel. After Django knocks them away, Usopp and Zolo appear. Zolo slices off a branch with his sword, while Usopp hits Django with his Secret Technique Shooting Star attack, saving Kaya's life.

After the incident, Kaya gives the Merry Go to Luffy and his group of pirates as gratitude for saving her life.
