In One Piece, there are pirates recognized by the World Government called the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea are also known as the "dogs of the Navy" because their piracy is recognized by the fact that they have to pay the proceeds of their piracy to the government. They are also one of the three major powers, alongside the Marine Headquarters and the Four Emperors, and while pirates have left and joined repeatedly, powerful pirates are always selected.
