Template:Infobox OPcrew The Straw Hat Pirates (麦わら海賊団, Mugiwara Kaizoku-dan), sometimes referred to as the Luffy Pirates (ルフィ海賊団, Rufi Kaizoku-dan) or the Straw Hat Crew (麦わらの一味, Mugiwara no Ichimi), are the main focus and protagonists of the anime and manga series One Piece, by Eiichiro Oda.

About

Each member of the Straw Hats all have at least one talent in which they are virtually perfect, and several (especially the captain, first mate and cook) have astonishingly inhuman strength. As outlaws, they all have bounties on their heads, and are wanted by the World Government. The World Government and the Navy consider them one of the most dangerous pirate crews in the One Piece world, due to their spectacular evasion of the nearly unavoidable Buster Call on Enies Lobby.

Each member of the Straw Hats has a dream they want to achieve. These dreams are their reasons for joining Luffy's crew, and essentially the driving force behind their lives. Each Straw Hat's dream was inspired by tragedies in their childhoods that involved at least one person they idolized or cared for deeply. Whatever the reason, each of the Straw Hats' dreams involves traveling the Grand Line, and each Straw Hat member refuses to die before achieving his or her dream.

Each member of the crew value their friendships above all else. Despite their comic annoyance with each other from time to time, they also often enjoy their time together and love being a member of the crew. One of the major themes of the series is how committed they are to each other. If one single member is hurt by an outside force, the other members will become enraged and take drastic action to avenge their brethren.

All the current Straw Hats have bounties over their heads with a total bounty of "667,000,050" Belli[1].

Recruitment

In the beginning of the manga, Luffy claims that he wants at least 10 people to join his crew before entering the Grand Line, though he only manages to gather five people. Luffy also tells Rad Haired Shanks that he will gather a crew strong enough to surpass his own.

Luffy doesn't seem to mind if someone he wants to recruit has a profession or not, generally asking anyone who is interesting or allowing anyone who wants to join to become a crew member. He allows Usopp to join without an official position, and later on names him the team's sniper, and considers Vivi a member even though she has no profession. He also offers Gaimon the chance to join his crew, though he declines.
