Pirate
| This article is about the Pirate Heartless. You may be looking for Barbossa's cursed crew. |
Template:Enemy The Pirate (パイレーツ Pairētsu) is an Emblem Heartless that is found in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.
Design
The Heartless Pirate is made to fit in with the crew members aboard Captain Hook's ship at first glance, though their costumes don't quite succeed in covering the traditional Heartless dark skin and toothy jaw. Bare-chested, save for the Heartless Emblem, Pirates are clad in brown and tan-patched pants and matching shoes, a red sash, bright yellow wristbands, and skull-shaped shoulder armor. They wear bright red bandannas on their heads that cover their eyes; in place of one eye is a black eyepatch with a white cross on it, while in place of the other is an angular black spiral.
When Pirates attack, their sword becomes the most noticeable part of them. Their weapons boast a wide, curved blade, similar to a Chinese dao; halfway down, the blade is etched with a bright red crack and a yellow angled spiral mirroring the one on the Pirate's bandanna. There is no hilt, though the blade is held to the handle by a heavy duty clip. The sword's grip is covered in the same bright red fabric as the sash and bandanna.
Strategy
Sometimes when they perform a certain attack, they nearly fall over due to the size and weight of their sword.
