    I was particularly fond of the lightning pirates (lightning poachers, actually) in Stardust.

    I’ll be a media pirate until I can see my dreams through, I suppose.

      I mean, good in theory, but someone like Trump also wants to be “the most free” to do whatever he wants while he makes other less free.

          That would require Luffy to write a fucking dissertation on freedom that is a lot more than just “being the most free.”

              You mean The Bible? Because people pick and choose what they want to believe out of that, too.

              I somehow seriously doubt that One Piece holds the intellectual consistency to not have it’s ideas twisted to negative ends. Especially with how huge it has become.

              Since I assume you’re referring to One Piece, of course.

    V funny how the Straw Hats, who are staunch monarchists and believe in “good kings,” have been picked up as a symbol of revolution. Meanwhile, the Revolutionary Army, who are also strangely monarchists that believe in “good kings,” never get any attention. I’m sure the reason is just that the Straw Hats’ flag is more recognizable, but I think it’s a shame because the RA’s flag totally rules.

      Access to merch? Straw Hat merch is everywhere. I have never seen RA merch. Kinda hard to make that their banner when you can’t find it anywhere.

        mmm good shout, I guess I was assuming some of these banners were custom-made but they probably are purchased from somewhere.
