Night Butterfly Pirates
CharacterThe Night Butterfly Pirates are a small band sailing under the banner of the Red Hair Pirates. Headed by Linaria, they count among the many allied crews that pledge loyalty to Shanks across the New World.
Overview
This crew falls within the broad network of allies attached to the Red Hair Pirates, one of the fleets answering to the Emperor Shanks. Their captain, Linaria, remains the sole identified figure tied to the group, and beyond her name very little has been documented about the rest of the roster.
Role
As one of Shanks' subordinate outfits, the band carries no fearsome reputation. Like the other crews orbiting the Red Hair fleet, they are reckoned to be on the weaker end of the spectrum, valued more for loyalty than raw combat power. Their function appears to be standing with the larger fleet rather than mounting independent campaigns.
Notable Members
Only Linaria has been named, serving as the crew's captain. During the gathering on Elbaph, where allied members of the Red Hair fleet were celebrating, she clung to Shanks in an attempt to stop him from rushing off to face the Kid Pirates after they reached the island.
