New Giant Pirates
Captain (inferred): Hajrudin · Founded/first named: Ch. 1130 · a crew of Elbaf giants under the Straw Hat Grand Fleet
Profile
A crew of Elbaf giants captioned on-page as the “New Giant Pirates” (Ch. 1130 p. 4) — the realization of Hajrudin’s long-stated dream to rebuild “the Giant Pirate Crew that once shook the foundations of the world.” Members shown @1130: Goldberg (cook) and Gerd (doctor, + pet owl Piper). Captain is inferred to be Hajrudin (his Straw Hat Grand Fleet #6 “Giant Pirate Crew” pledge); 1130 directly captions only Goldberg & Gerd as members. They patrol the Elbaf interior around “Rodo’s” castle, hunting intruders.
⚠ DISTINCT from the ancient Giant Warrior Pirates (Ch. 118, Dorry & Brogy’s 100-year-old band). Hajrudin was a youngster on THAT crew; the New Giant Pirates are the legacy-successor named after it — a generational link, never a merge.

Notable events
- Ch. 1130 — First named on-page (p. 4). Goldberg (cook) & Gerd (doctor) patrol the Elbaf interior hunting intruders; the crew is revealed as Hajrudin’s, the legacy-successor to Dorry & Brogy’s ancient Giant Warrior Pirates. First on-page sign of intra-crew dissent (@1129) over Hajrudin’s Straw Hat pledge persists into the patrol banter.
- Ch. 1131 — Full roster named in the panel (pp. 14–15): Captain Hajrudin, Cook Goldberg, Doctor Gerd, Shipwright Stansen, Navigator Rodo — the “self-proclaimed Straw Hat Fleet,” five younger giants of the generation after Dorry & Brogy. The crew hauls the Thousand Sunny and a slain beast up from the Underworld to the village to deliver the Straw Hats safely (“this meat is for my saviors!!”). Hajrudin is confirmed Captain (inferred-only @1130). Stansen is the giant nearly auctioned at Sabaody (Ch. 503).
- Ch. 1133 — The Straw Hats welcomed to Elbaf; the crew name spoken in-scene. At the Western Village, Hajrudin and his crew greet the Straw Hat Grand Fleet — “the four of us are the New Giant Pirates, at your service!!” (corrected to “Five…”, p. 7), hailing Luffy as an Emperor of the Sea. Doctor Gerd guides Nico Robin by ship to the school below the Owl Library. (The @1133
Crews/New Giant Warrior Piratescreate FOLDS here — alias, not a fork;aliasesalready carry “New Giant Warrior Pirates”.) - Ch. 1137 — Navigator Rodo’s backstory; the captain’s royal blood. Navigator Rodo guides Luffy/Nami/Usopp through Aurust Castle (hunting the keys to Loki’s chains). A flashback (p. 8) shows young Hajrudin befriending the bullied, chart-drawing Rodo (“You can draw sea charts?! …Show me how to do it!”) — why Rodo rides with the crew despite Elbaf’s prejudice. The chapter also reveals captain Hajrudin is King King Harald’s son — Loki’s half-brother. (Rodo already on the roster; no fork.) See Rodo, Elbaf Royal Family.
