Pirates (Treasure Planet)

"On the clearest of nights, when the winds of the Etherium were calm and peaceful. The great merchant ships with their cargoes of Arcturian solar crystals felt safe and secure. Little did they suspect, that they were pursued by pirates. And the most feared of all these pirates was the notorious Captain Nathaniel Flint."

- The narrator of Treasure Planet

The Pirates are a celestial race of space piratic monster barbarians and the minor antagonists from Disney's 2002 animated film, Treasure Planet. The crew consists of about 875 pirates. They are Flint's minions.

They are voiced by Tom Kenny.

Role in the film
The Pirates appeared at the very beginning of the film. They were seen on the ship and lived with the notorious Captain Nathaniel Flint, who was their most feared captain of all his pirates. When Flint orders his pirates to fire upon their quarry, they initially open their gun ports for using their cannons to destroy the tremendous Arcturian merchant ship, which will make the people feel afraid after the lights were blown out everywhere. Like a Candarian zaftwing overtaking its prey, Flint and his band of renegades mysteriously swooped in out of nowhere. When two of the pirates start to open Flint's treasure chest, they dump all of the gold and jewels out of his treasure chest, so he can keep his ostentatious treasure safe. When the Arcturian merchant ship has a lot of flames, they burn to their apparent deaths after the pillaging was over, and don't appear again afterwards.

Personality
They are also known for being extremely aggressive, barbarous, ruthless, cruel, greedy, furious, cunning, murderous, destructive, menacing, violent, and savage. They are extremely confrontational, materialistic, and belligerent for using their weapons to shoot all of the Arcturian Guards, who are on the Arcturian merchant ship.
