- "Mistress Ching commands a fleet of thousands of these junks. She can spare a few to guard this entrance to her territory. They probably have orders to loot any merchant ship that comes this way and drive off rival pirates."

The Pirate Confederation of China was an organization that controlled the majority of piracy up and down the Chinese coast and in the Pacific Ocean.[1]
History[]
Mistress Ching and her crew.
- "I do not need sycophants in my fleet."
- ―Mistress Ching
The Confederation was led by the husband of Mistress Ching until his death, at which point Ching took control. She commanded a vast fleet comprised of hundreds[1] of junks, many of which were assembled during the battle of Calypso's maelstrom.[2] Over the years, her fleet became bigger than that of the Chinese Emperor.[3] The Confederation was known to blackmail and extort local merchants, and smuggle stolen goods between China and Japan. Ching's pirates were not above victimizing their opponents, with beheadings a common form of execution.[1]
Sao Feng, as the Pirate Lord of the South China Sea, may have been affiliated with the confederation. He too maintained a fleet of junks, including his flagship, the Empress.
