Pirates are a group of characters in the LEGO Universe. Although they can be found in many worlds, they are primarily based in Gnarled Forest, under the leadership of Captain Jack Knife.

Though several Pirates are affiliated with Venture League, most are self spoken and are quite fed up with the Venture League's interference in their lives. Many enjoyed living alone in Gnarled Forest, as the rocket launchpads were not constructed until the greedy pirate disaster.

Pirates probably knew very little of the Maelstrom until the Darkitect corrupted several treasure chests in the Gnarled Forest. The gems within them were corrupted, which transformed the pirates who took possession of them into Stromling Pirates. Captain Jack Knife and his crew were able to hold them off using cannons until the Venture League dispatched Renee Tombcrusher and Hugo First to assist them.

The Captain often complains about the lack of help from Venture League, and in his log, notes "..all we got was that launchpad over there. Never mind though, arrr!... we still have our cannonballs!".

The pirates lack most up-to-date technology, however they do have the ability to create (or perhaps steal) objects only smashable by the Maelstrom Hammer. Ninjas Steve, Hashi, Mashi, and Zashi were discovered hiding in the Forest, and were locked away in Maelstrom Hammer cells.

Captain Jack and Numb Chuck have a long rivalry, and they continue to steal each other's items. Presumably, Hashi, Mashi, Zashi, and Steve were attempting to steal treasure when they were caught. In turn, there are three pirate spies in Forbidden Valley.
