Bluejam Pirates
Profile
A pirate crew operating around the Goa area / Gray Terminal on Dawn Island during the ASL childhood. The child Ace robs the crew’s couriers, setting the chapter’s conflict in motion (pp. 15-17).
Notable events
- Ch. 583 — crew named on-page (caption “PORCHEMY — BLUEJAM PIRATES”). Ace robs the crew’s couriers; enforcer Porchemy hunts the boys down and captures the abandoned Luffy.
- Ch. 584 — captain Bluejam first SHOWN (the scarred cigar-smoking gang boss in the chapter-title splash, p. 1, flanked by two subordinate gangsters). The crew operates out of Gray Terminal under the Goa Kingdom aristocracy’s protection. Enforcer Porchemy tortures the young Luffy for a day, then is defeated by Ace (with the pirate’s own cutlass) and humiliated — “I’m sorry, Captain Bluejam” (p. 12). Sabo fears the whole crew will hunt the three boys for revenge.
- Ch. 586 — Gray Terminal arson. The crew does the nobles’ dirty work: planting the oil/explosives (which Ace and Luffy unknowingly placed on a paid “delivery job”) and torching Gray Terminal in exchange for a promised aristocrat title for Bluejam — then is betrayed and sealed inside the burning kingdom to die with the witnesses (pp. 14-17). Named on-page p.17 (“the Bluejam Pirates of trash mountain”).
- Ch. 587 — the crew’s ship burns. Double-crossed by the Goa monarchy it served, the crew is trapped to burn with Gray Terminal; their ship is destroyed in the fire (“the ship can’t be saved!! …our way to the sea is gone!!”, pp. 1-2). The despairing Bluejam turns vengeful on Ace and Luffy for their hidden treasure before Dadan’s Dadan Family bandits intervene (pp. 5-13). The crew’s ultimate fate is left unresolved on-page.
