Background / History

Bartholomew Bear proposed the crew's name after Carlos defeated and released him. Carlos accepted, intending to use the name and banner upon formally becoming a pirate. 153

The crew entered Marine and pirate awareness as an emerging force shortly afterward. Marine leadership considered Carlos and his elite core combatants dangerous enough that an Admiral would be needed to reliably suppress them. 168

Carlos changed the Underworld's flag to the Divine Eye Flag: a skull whose eyes contain a silver moon and golden sun. 169 The same sun-and-moon eye motif later informed the crew's interest in Sun Moon Island. 272

The Divine Eye Pirates entered the New World through Fish-Man Island and established themselves by crushing the Blood Eagle Pirates at One Line Gorge. 258 261 They subsequently occupied Sun Moon Island and Qingsang Island following the fall of the Sirius Pirates, gaining their first major territorial foothold. 300

After acquiring two further islands, Carlos launched a campaign to reach his fixed goal of ten islands. The crew captured six islands by force and obtained two closer islands through exchange, then halted further expansion to consolidate their holdings. 334 340

Capabilities

Elite Combat Force

The crew's principal fighters combine Devil Fruit abilities, Haki, swordsmanship, firearms, poison, and specialized navigation. Even non-main combat members proved difficult for the Sirius Pirates to overcome. 287

• Shiryu, Martin, Dolores, and Riley form the crew's four main combat forces during its territorial expansion. 340
• By the expansion campaign, the four main combatants had mastered two forms of Haki, while the remaining crew had mastered at least one. 334
• Their rank-and-file members were selected from Carlos's West Blue Mafia forces, though early New World battles exposed a gap between ordinary crewmen and seasoned New World pirates in close combat. 283

Naval Warfare

The Divine Eye Pirates use the Underworld's size, cannon fire, sniper support, boarding parties, and powerful individuals to overwhelm opposing fleets. 176 271

• Carlos can provide long-range sniper fire while directing boarding actions. 176
• Riley can launch allies such as Martin and Dolores toward enemy ships. 176
• Animal Path Pain and five Giant Sea Kings were used against pursuers in the New World. 273 274
• Deva Path Pain's lightning attacks can disrupt enemy formations and create openings for allied fighters. 282

Territory and Administration

Carlos favors diplomacy when it can secure territory without bloodshed, but uses force against those who refuse. 334

• Sun Moon Island and Qingsang Island became the crew's first New World bases. 300
• Core members received noble titles, Island Master appointments, military authority, and shares of island tax revenue after the ten-island campaign. 340
• Carlos publicly declared that the crew would occupy exactly ten New World islands and no more. 362

Conduct and Reputation

The crew does not generally rob merchant ships or towns unless provoked, largely because Carlos's Mafia organization already provides substantial wealth. 169 However, it refuses to pay entry fees as a matter of pirate identity and responds brutally to hostile pirate forces. 224 271

Its reputation is mixed: its strength and prestige attract recruits, while its actions and associations discourage others. 340 By the time Carlos traveled to Whole Cake Island, ordinary pirate crews avoided conflict upon recognizing the Divine Eye Flag. 327

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Formation and Grand Line emergence — Bear proposes the Divine Eye Pirates name; Carlos adopts it, raises the Divine Eye Flag, and the crew becomes a Marine target. 153 168 169
• Grand Line voyage — The crew visits Little Garden, Sky Island, and Apadoa while improving its combat ability and exploring rather than engaging in conventional piracy. 169 224 232
• New World entry — The crew defeats the Blood Eagle Pirates, survives repeated pursuit by New World crews, and uses the Six Paths of Pain more openly. 261 271 274
• Sirius Pirates conflict — After Sirius forces participate in an attempt to surround them, the Divine Eye Pirates seize Sun Moon Island, capture and kill the Black Wolf King, and join Golden Lion, Kaido, and Big Mom in destroying the Sirius Pirates. 288 293 300
• Territorial expansion — Carlos organizes the capture or exchange of islands until the crew controls ten islands and becomes a major regional power. 334 340
• Later consolidation — The crew becomes less publicly active while expanding its influence across legitimate and illegitimate spheres. 341 370
• Whitebeard challenge — The Divine Eye Pirates assemble an eleven-ship fleet and sail to a dangerous desolate island for an agreed meeting with the Whitebeard Pirates. 372

Trivia
