Structural lore — the world-concept of formal cooperation pacts between independent pirate crews.
What we know
- Ch. 668: A pirate alliance is a formal cooperation pact between independent pirate crews, framed by Law as a New-World survival strategy (“two ways to survive… affiliate yourself with an Emperor, or try to be one”).
- Ch. 668: The eponymous concept is formalized when the Heart Pirates and Straw Hat Pirates agree to ally — the first formalized pirate alliance shown in the series.
- Ch. 668: Robin supplies the institution’s defining risk grammar: “betrayal is a part of pirate alliances” (p. 5) — each crew keeps its own captain and agenda, and treachery is an accepted hazard.
