The Blackroot Pirates (黒ルート海賊 burakku ru-to kaizoku) are a pirate crew from North Blue. They are one of the four pirate crews of the fanfiction Age of the Four Seasons, and are led by the mysterious Aeris Kaiyou. The "Blackroots" are named after the dark secrets all of the crewmembers seem to carry. They were first referred to as the Blackroot Pirates by Rear Admiral Zepour Lilura after revealing information about the "Reaper of Morana." The crew first sailed on a nice sized boat that had one cabin (think of the boat that Luffy and Sanji used to get to Nami during the Arlong Arc); they would later get the Nostagia from their shipwright on Ricordo Island. The Blackroots currently consist of seven members whose combined bounties equal Image:Bsymbol.gif17,125,000.
