The Sun Pirate Crew was a pirate crew made up almost entirely of Fishmen. The founder and captain of this crew was Fisher Tiger.
Eleven years ago, the crew split into three, the Arlong Crew under Arlong, the Pimp Crew under Macro, and the rest of the Sun Crew under Jinbe. This crew was finally dissolved 8 years ago. We learn that Jinbe had to recreate it during the two-year ellipse following his resignation as Grand Corsair (the former members were then no longer protected and had all become outlaws again). This crew put themselves at the service of Big Mom (one of the Four Emperors) so that she would place the Island of the Fishmen under her protection, as it was defenseless since the death of Whitebeard. But they eventually betrayed her during the Whole Cake Island Arc.
The crew was first mentioned by Silvers Rayleigh when talking about his past with Octo.

Origins
The majority of the crew is made up of Fishmen slaves freed by Fisher Tiger from the tyranny of the World Nobles in Marie-Joie. The Sun Pirates are recognizable by the sun-shaped tattoo they have on part of their body.

This tattoo is in fact used to cover the mark of the celestial dragon that the Nobles had imposed on them with a red iron. This tattoo represented a dragon's paw and showed that they belonged to the world of slaves. However, this does not necessarily mean that all those who have the sun tattoo are former slaves, the sun mark only proves the membership of the Sun Pirates Crew and also makes it impossible to differentiate former slaves from other members in order to avoid any discrimination.
Among them are Fisher Tiger, Jinbe, Arlong and most of his men, as well as Macro and his subordinates Gyaro and Tansui.
Jolly Roger
It is a Red Sun, which is intended to cover the emblem of the Celestial Dragons so that no one can tell a former slave from a normal crew member.

Jinbei
Jinbe "The Sea Paladin" is the helmsman of the Straw Hat Crew. He is officially the tenth member of the Straw Hat crew and the ninth to join Luffy's crew.
He is a whale shark fish man, who served as the second captain of the Sun Pirates Crew succeeding Fisher Tiger, and a former Corsair, who reached the position eleven years ago.
His name was first mentioned by Yosaku, when he was explaining the operation of the Grand Corsairs. However, he was formally introduced much later, during the Impel Down Arc. He gave up his Corsair title during the Battle of Marineford, joining forces with Whitebeard's Crew. During the war, he befriended Monkey D. Luffy and later allied with him and his crew to prevent the New Fishmen Crew's coup against the Neptune royal family and the Kingdom of Ryugu. He was even invited to join the Straw Hat Crew, but declined due to his affiliation with Big Mom; however, he promised that once he was ready, he would return to Luffy and ask to join his crew. During the Whole Cake Island arc, Jinbe would leave Big Mom's service by rebelling against her and helping the Straw Hats escape her clutches. He allowed an alliance to be made between Sanji's recovery team, reaffirming his desire to join the Straw Hat Crew, Caesar Clown and the Fire Tank Crew in order to bring down Big Mom. Despite the failure of the plan he officially joins the Straw Hat Crew.
Ships
Snapper Head
The Snapper Head was the original ship of the crew, built by Fisher Tiger, It was the ship they used while he was the captain. The Snapper Head was sunk when the Marines ambushed it on Foolshout Island, leading the Sun Pirates to replace it with a stolen Navy ship.
The Snapper Head was later rebuilt and used by the crew while they served under Big Mom's Crew. The ship was then destroyed for good by cannon fire from the Queen Mama Chanter after Wadatsumi switched her with the Thousand Sunny.
Second vessel
With the destruction of their old ship and the death of Fisher Tiger, the Sun Pirates with Jinbe as captain sailed on a new ship, which was originally a Navy ship. The ship has three masts with four main sails with their Jolly Roger on at least two of them and a sail on the bow under the figurehead with "TAIYO" (which is the Japanese word for "sun") written on it. It is not known what has happened to this ship since.

History
The origin of the Sun Pirates goes back about 12 years, when Fisher Tiger climbed Red Line with his bare hands to free all the slaves of the Celestial Dragons (including Boa Hancock who later became a member of the 7 Corsair Captains and his sisters) and he transformed all the signs of the Fishmen into the sun.
After the ellipse
Some members such as Jinbe and Aladdin reappeared after the ellipse, near the island of the Fishmen.
