Pirates
Straw Hat Pirates (麦わらの海賊団)
Straw Hat Pirates is Monkey D. Luffy's pirate crew, named after Luffy's trademark straw hat. While it's a small group numbering only seven, the Straw Hat Pirates are formidable in battle. The crew is captained by Luffy, and Roronoa Zoro serves as the first mate. Although these are their official titles, the Straw Hat's are far from having a clear hierarchical structure. The members generally have equal rights and sometimes even team up to outrank the captain himself when there is strong disagreement.
The tightly knit group exhibits qualities of friendship and brotherhood missing from many other groups that were formed by alliances of people seeking to pillage. Their family-like makeup is a result of the care the captain has for each of his crew members.
Although the fighting skill of each member of the crew varies greatly, the crew members can all handle themselves in the fight. So far the crew has a captain, a first mate/swordsman, a navigator/second mate ( Nami), a sharpshooter ( Usopp), a cook ( Sanji), a doctor ( Chopper) and an archeologist ( Nico Robin). They are currently ( 419+, enies lobby) on the look out for a shipwright, and it is popular belief that one of either Cutty Flam / Franky or Paulie will join after the arcs completion.
The Straw hat's ship is a little caravel named Going Merry and is treated as another crew member and important friend.
Crewmembers:
Red Hair Pirates
This is the crew of Red Haired Shanks. It is one of the great pirate crews that even the highest authoroty of the World Government considers as very dangerous.

Crewmembers:

Buggy Pirates
The Crew of Buggy the Clown Pirate, that invaded Orange Village and devasted large parts of it. The entire crew appears as if it is made of circus artists. Buggy himself looks like a clown, and the seconds in command are an acrobat and a wild animal tamer. Even the minors of the crew seem to be circus performors such as knife throwers and rope walkers.
After being blown away by Luffy and having half of his body parts tied up by Nami, Buggy and his crew get separated. His crew hapless without him (and thinking him dead), Buggy goes on a quest to find his parts and joins up with Alvida to plot revenge on Luffy. They catch up with him at Loguetown only for him to slip away into the grand line.

This isn´t a real pirate crew but actually a group of kids that plays around. They were founded by Usopp and went through their own childish adventures.

Mermen Pirates
As the name indicates this a crew of mermen pirates. They are a pirate crew from the Grand Line lead by Jinbei. Not much is known about them except for the fact that the Arlong Pirates once were part of Mermen Pirates. So far nothing is known about the reasons why Mermen Pirates split up.

Arlong Pirates
The Arlong Pirates are a mermen pirate crew that came to East Blue from the Grand Line 8 years ago. They invaded Nami's hometown Cocoyashi village in the Conomi Islands and collected taxes from the villagers, essentially holding them hostage. The captain of the Arlong Pirates is Arlong, who is ruthless and bloodthirsty, but also loyal to his comrades.
It is unclear whether the Arlong Pirates are the entire crew that remained of the Mermen Pirates after Jinbei became a Shichibukai, or if they are just a small faction of it that split off from a larger abandoned crew. It is believed that this will be explained when the Strawhats reach Mermen island.

- Mohmoo
Giant Warrior Pirates

This is the crew of Brogy the Red Ogre and Dorry the Blue Ogre. 100 years ago the two leaders left the pirate crew to take out a duel but judging from Karsee and Oimo´s decision to search for their bosses 50 years ago, it could be possible that the crew still exists today and awaits the return of one of their bosses.
