The Red Pirate Gang

The Red Pirate Gang.

The Red Pirates (赤き海賊団 Akaki Kaizokudan) were a band of Space Pirates dedicated to collecting the Ranger Keys in order to find the Greatest Treasure in the Universe. The group disbanded following Basco ta Jolokia's betrayal of the team.

History[]

AkaRed returned in the aftermath of the Great Legend War in which the 34 teams of Sentai Heroes all sacrificed their powers to defeat the Space Empire Zangyack's invasion of Earth. He became a pirate and formed the Red Pirate Gang, with his teammates, Marvelous and Basco ta Jolokia, along with his robotic parrot, Navi. They searched the universe in the Gokai Galleon to find the Ranger Keys, keys that contained the powers of the 34 Sentai teams, which were dispersed all over the universe. The pirates knew that with them, they could find the Greatest Treasure in the Universe.

AkaRed encountered Marvelous when he discovered the Akarenger Key after fighting Gormin. Marvelous refused to give it to him and fought AkaRed, who swiftly defeated Marvelous. Marvelous revealed to AkaRed that he wished to find the Greatest Treasure in the Universe. AkaRed shown Marvelous his ship, the GokaiGalleon, telling him that he would never find the treasure if he gave up. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 16: Clash! Sentai vs. Sentai They went on to find many Ranger Keys, such as the Bouken Red Key. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 21: The Adventurer Heart

They also met Basco ta Jolokia who joined them. At that time, Basco was a far more feared pirate than Marvelous in the eyes of Zangyack, partly due to his powerful true form, having a Z=3,000,000 bounty on his head. Marvelous did not know of his true form but AkaRed did, and feared Basco. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 31: Crash!! Secret Operations While Marvelous followed AkaRed in pursuing the treasure, Basco was more wiser. Basco knew the truth that AkaRed did not actually care about the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, and was only interested in collecting the Ranger Keys so he could give them to their original owners, the 34 Super Sentai, so they could protect the Earth.

They eventually managed to find all the Ranger Keys, but Basco betrayed AkaRed and Marvelous, justifying this in that AkaRed had betrayed him and Marvelous from the very beginning. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 48: The Fated Showdown He conspired with Zangyack which attacked the ship, wanting the treasure all for himself. AkaRed saved Marvelous from the Zangyack forces and gave him the chest containing the Ranger Keys, telling him to find the Greatest Treasure in the Universe. AkaRed was last seen charging into dozens of Gormin Sailors. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 15: A Privateer Appears Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 2: The Worth of This Planet

Legacy[]

Marvelous, along with Navi, later founded the Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and worked on unlocking the power of the Ranger Keys on Earth so they could get the Greatest Treasure. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear He did this by obtaining and unlocking the Greater Powers of the Super Sentai. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 3: Changing Courage into Magic

Later, Basco arrived on Earth to look for the treasure as well, using a wide array of tricks up his sleeve to hinder Marvelous. Eventually, the Gokaigers obtained 30 Greater powers (including their own), while Basco had five. Marvelous took on Basco in a final battle where Basco revealed to Marvelous that AkaRed's motive was not acquiring the Greatest Treasure in the Universe. AkaRed used the treasure as bait to Marvelous and Basco so they would help him gather up the Ranger Keys. After all the Ranger Keys were collected, AkaRed would return to Earth and give them back to their owners in order to protect the planet. Basco said that he didn't betray them, AkaRed had betrayed them from the beginning. Marvelous, however, didn't care, explaining to Basco that he wasn't a Red Pirate anymore and he had everything that was needed to claim the Greatest Treasure in the Universe. He added that he will attack anyone who tried to keep the Gokaigers from their dream, whether it be Basco, Zangyack, or AkaRed himself.

This battle ended with the death of Basco after he and Marvelous landing a final blow on each other, Marvelous having survived with a piece of the necklace-bomb Basco gave to his associate, Sally. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 48: The Fated Showdown

After Basco's defeat, Marvelous finally unlocked the Greatest Treasure in the Universe, with Navi being revealed to be the door to the treasure. The treasure revealed that it could reshape the universe to their wishes, with the cost of the powers of the 34 Super Sentai, who would be erased from history. With the Zangyack beginning another full scale invasion of Earth, Gai suggested that they should use the treasure to erase the Zangyack, but much to his surprise, his teammates did not agree with him, claiming that using the Treasure would not only erase the Super Sentai from history, but also take from the people of Earth the hope and courage that they learned from them. However, they leave the final decision at his hands, and Gai ultimately destroys the Treasure with the Gokai Spear in Gun Mode. Marvelous led his team in fighting the Zangyack invasion of Earth.

After Marvelous used the Zangyack flagship to annhilate the Zangyack fleet, the Gokaigers fought the Emperor Ackdos Gill, who they eventually defeated. The Zangyack empire, which oppressed the entire universe for so long, began to dissolve. Marvelous and his team continued their lives as space pirates and Gokaigers, heading for the Zangyack homeworld to find the second Greatest Treasure in the Universe. Before Marvelous departed Earth, he saw AkaRed standing on the prow of the Gokai Galleon nodding at Marvelous before disappearing. Tvicon TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
