Dondoko Pirates
CharacterThe Dondoko Pirates are a non-canon crew featured in the One Piece Premier Show 2022. Despite fielding large numbers, they prove feeble fighters, and their raid on Soil Island collapses the moment the Straw Hat Pirates step in.
Overview
This pirate band appears exclusively in the live stage production One Piece Premier Show 2022. None of its members are ever given names, yet the group is shown to be sizable, with enough hands to mount a full assault on Soil Island. They exist purely as a non-canon antagonist crew built for the show's plot.
Role
For all their numbers, the crew is strikingly weak. They fold quickly against the Straw Hats, and even a smaller cluster of them is beaten by Shirotsu alone. The pirates lean on trickery rather than power, at one point dressing several of their own as civilian women in a failed attempt to ambush Sanji. Their function in the show is to serve as the obstacle the heroes sweep aside.
Notable Members
No individual member of the Dondoko Pirates is identified by name. They act as an anonymous mass that storms Soil Island and terrorizes its residents, only for the raid to coincide with the Straw Hat Pirates' arrival. The crew is routed almost as soon as the fight begins, leaving them with no standout figures to point to.
