About the Straw Hat Pirates

Each member of the Straw Hats all have at least one talent in which they are virtually perfect, and several (especially the captain, first mate and cook) have astonishingly inhuman strength. As outlaws, they all have bounties on their heads, and are wanted by the World Government. Some of their bounties (including the captain's) are remarkably high. The World Government and the Navy consider them one of the most dangerous pirate crews in the One Piece world, due to their spectacular evasion of the nearly unavoidable Buster Call on Enies Lobby.

Each member of the Straw Hats has a dream they want to achieve. These dreams are their reasons for joining Luffy's crew, and essentially the driving force behind their lives. Each Straw Hat's dream was inspired by tragedies (often deaths) in their childhoods that involved at least one person they idolized and cared for deeply. Some, like Chopper, Nami, Franky, and Usopp are fulfilling their dreams by accumulating knowledge and/or achieving a certain task while sailing the Grand Line. Others, like Robin, Zoro, Luffy, and Sanji are searching for a person, place or thing that can only be found on the Grand Line. Whatever the reason, each of the Straw Hats' dreams involves traveling the Grand Line, and each Straw Hat member refuses to die before achieving his or her dream.

They all seem to value their friendships highly as well. Despite their comic annoyance with each other from time to time, they also often enjoy their time together and love being a member of the crew. One of the major themes of the series is how committed they are to each other. If one single member is hurt by an outside force, the other members will become enraged and take drastic action to avenge their brethren. When Nami cried because of Arlong's cruelty and asked Luffy for help, he unquestioningly gathered the other members of his crew and destroyed Arlong's base along with every merman in it. After Usopp was cruelly beaten by the Frankly Family, Luffy (as well as Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper) thrashed nearly every member of the organization and obliterated their base of operations. After Robin was blackmailed by CP9, they invaded Enies Lobby and caused the destruction of the island as well as the overthrow of CP9.
