No-Eyed Pete is a visually-impaired member of Captain Soto's crew of the Destiny's Bounty. He gets his name from his dual eyepatches—one over each eye—forcing him to use a blustering red parrot as a guide even though it always gives the wrong commands, saying "left" or "the other left." Despite this handicap, he always seems to be put in charge of navigating the pirates' vehicles, usually with unpleasant results.
History[]
Background[]
Pete was either born blind or blinded at some point in time, and he got eye-patches for both of his eyes. As a result, he was given him the nickname of No-Eyed Pete.
At an unknown point in time, No-Eyed Pete became part of Soto's crew.
On the tenth day of the voyage on the Destiny's Bounty, Soto donated a parrot to Pete, who would tell him how to sail.[1]
Later on, while sailing the Endless Sea, he and his fellow crew members were attacked by the crew of the Misfortune's Keep. After resorting to using his own parrot as cannon-fire, he proceeded to engage the rival crew in combat before eventually defeating them following Nadakhan's imprisonment in the Teapot of Tyrahn.[2]
When Captain Soto's pirates set sail in search of the Island of Darkness, No-Eyed Pete was at the helm of the Destiny's Bounty. Unsurprisingly, the blind pirate quickly ended up steering the ship back to Ninjago and crashing into its rocky coasts, where he later perished along with the rest of the crew.[3]
Pirates vs. Ninja[]
Many years later, No-Eyed Pete was resurrected by the power of Lord Garmadon's Mega Weapon, and he joined the other revived pirates in trying to reclaim their ship (now a flight-capable vessel called the Black Bounty). At Captain Soto's command, he grabbed the Serpentine and locked them in the brig. When the ninja arrived, he fought Cole, but the Earth Ninja defeated him after stealing his parrot to give misguided directions. After the ninja reclaimed control of the ship, the pirates were taken away by the police.
Ninjaball Run[]
After escaping prison, No-Eyed Pete enters the Ninjaball Run with Captain Soto and another crew member. He drives the pirates' vehicle—a blue van with details resembling a pirate ship—only to crash it into Crashcourse Canyon after being hit by Gene and Brad's modified Darkley's Boarding School bus.
The Invitation[]
No-Eyed Pete was at Yang Tavern during the Slither Pit finals and cheered the fighters on as Kruncha was defeated by the Red Shogun. Later, he conversed with the other pirates present.
The Greatest Fear of All[]
No-Eyed Pete, along with his parrot and Captain Soto, were eventually locked up in Kryptarium Prison. Shortly after the ninja visited the prison, it fell under attack by Chop'rai and Kapau'rai and the two sides battled it out, at one point the ninja managing to disarm one of them. Kapau'rai's weapon landed at the feet of No-Eyed Pete, who used it to release all the prisoners. They were later captured by Warden Noble and taken back to their cells.
Enkrypted[]
No-Eyed Pete was in Kryptarium while The Mechanic confronted the ninja. They were taken back to their cells. After Soto told the ninja about his crew's battle with Nadakhan, a fight erupted amongst the inmates. They were, once again, taken back to their cells.
Appearance[]
No-Eyed Pete appears as a normal male human with heavy stubble around his mouth. Apart from his signature double eyepatches, he wears a red bandana, a red and white striped shirt, a brown vest, two brown belts (one around his waist and one across his chest), and ragged brown pants. A red parrot is usually present on his shoulder.

Trivia[]
- Despite being part of Soto's crew, the latter never attempts to bring him along during his escape in "Enkrypted." Due to the constant mistakes he made, one of which proved fatal, this may have been a form of punishment.
- Tommy Andreasen has stated that he's not sure if No-Eyed Pete is still imprisoned, though he'd likely do well in the Needles gang since he can't poke his eyes out.[4]
