Scorpion Pirates

The Scorpion Pirates are a pirate crew led by Faust, one of the Shichibukai. They are primarily located in an area near the Grandline known as the Red Sea. Every primary member of the Scorpion Pirates is a Pacifista, and every minor member is a robot. They act as the primary antagonists of the Desert War Arc.

History
Faust was the most successful Pacifista test conducted by the World Government to date, but after realizing they were unable to control him, they made him a Shichibukai and custom built his crew. Satisfied, Faust agreed to obey the World Government and act as a warlord of the sea.

Faust was given an assignment to halt the acts of the rising Red Wing Pirates. After successfully leading them to the Red Sea, Faust ambushed them and overwhelmed the Pirates with sheer numbers. He destroyed their ship and captured their Captain, Red Hair Clive.

Four years later, Faust has grown tired of obeying the World Government and of being a Pirate Captain. He desires to rule his own country, and decides to try and take over Alabasta.
