Overview

The Who's-Who Pirates formed around their captain, Who's-Who, during a period before he rose through Kaidou's organization. The crew appears only in supplementary material, and Who's-Who stands as its sole confirmed member. King later acknowledged that his fellow officer had once helmed a band of his own.

Role

Because the captain had previously ranked among the deadliest agents of CP9 and afterward climbed to a top post within the Emperor-led Beasts Pirates, observers assume his earlier crew carried real menace. Concrete details about their power, numbers, or exploits, however, never surfaced.

Notable Members

Who's-Who founded the outfit after breaking out of prison, but Kaidou eventually drew him into the Beasts Pirates, leaving the original crew's fate murky. A portion of his old followers stayed at his side as a cat-themed retinue known as "CAT'S." The group holds the distinction of being the second pirate crew in the series built around a feline theme, following the Black Cat Pirates.
