Firetank Pirates

Notable events

• Ch. 869 — Whole Cake Island: the Castling coup besieged. The crew operates from inside captain Bege’s “Big Father” castle-body alongside the Straw-Hat / Vinsmoke alliance during the fighting retreat; the year-long anti-Big Mom assassination plan backfires and the fortress is surrounded — cannons mochi-jammed by Katakuri, limbs candy-pinned by Perospero. Vito defends the failed launchers from inside (p. 18); Bege reveals the castle is life-bound (see Shiro Shiro no Mi). See Bege’s Big Father Is Life-Bound And Destructible.

• Ch. 858 — Whole Cake Island: the assassination-alliance meeting. The crew’s roster is confirmed at its base — captain Capone Bege, Charlotte Chiffon (wife), enforcers Vito and Gotti, and Caesar Clown embedded as “blood brother Gastino.” Vito herds the “unclean” Straw-Hat guests to the bath; the crew hosts the “MEETING” where Bege negotiates and seals the assassination alliance with Luffy against Big Mom (Luffy sniffs out the hidden Caesar). See Bege Granted The Title Rook And Secretly Plots To Take Big Moms Head.

• Ch. 857 — Whole Cake Island. Jinbei reveals captain Bege — one of the Five Families of the West — has been granted Big Mom’s title of “Rook” and made head of security for the tea party, while secretly plotting to assassinate Big Mom at the wedding. His people shot Pekoms off a cliff for refusing to join, and “got rid of” Bobbin. The crew is shown at its base in the north-west of Whole Cake Island, preparing to receive Luffy (a Germa-fanboy subordinate — Vito-coded “Nyo-lo-lo” — greets the news). Bege offers an alliance to the Straw Hats against Big Mom (pp. 10-17). See Bege Granted The Title Rook And Secretly Plots To Take Big Moms Head.

• Ch. 813 — Zou. Serving Big Mom, Bege delivers her tea-party wedding invitation to the Straw Hats from inside his body-castle; advisor Vito (“the Phantom Gun”) menaces them. Bege departs Zou in a “Castle Tank” with Sanji and the captive Caesar Clown.
• Ch. 812 — Zou. The Firetank Pirates, now serving Big Mom, arrive at Zou to capture Caesar Clown. Captain Capone Bege’s bounty is updated to ฿300,000,000, and his Castle-Castle Fruit (Shiro Shiro no Mi) is named/demonstrated — the crew (and a banquet hall) issues from inside his body. Member Vito captures Nami & Chopper as hostages. Bege guns down ally Pekoms for letting loyalty override the mission, and delivers Big Mom’s wedding invitation (pp. 10-17).

• Ch. 594 — Post-War / New World. Capone Bege’s crew panics as their ship is lifted out of the water and sucked into the sky by an unexplained New World phenomenon (p. 14).
• Ch. 498 — debut at Sabaody.
