One piece is a worldwide best selling manga and popular anime. The main antagonists of the show are called the world Government. Sound famieler, certain groups may want to establish one here. The world government inthe show has been shown to cover up their atrocities and change history for their benefit. One of their atrocities is destroying the inhabitants of an island because a group of historians and archeologists there may uncover secret history they kept buried. This secret history is known as the void century, and it is essentially a 100 years of history which the world government has buried. It is speculated that this history tells the truth of the world governments founding a d not their propaganda. It is not hard to believe that certain events in our history may have been lied about or altered. Certain events may have been covered up for all we know. We know that the truth of the 2020 election won't be covered in history, and the Trump presidency will be deemed a failure without observing the good he has done. O e of the most interesting things is the rich and powerful of their world can buy and sell slaves at an auction house run by traffickers. That sounds like pizzagate to me. Also, certain families live outside the law in the One Piece world. They are known as the Celestial Dragons and are the descendants of the WGs original founders. They can kill and enslave whoever they want with no consequences. Sounds like some of our elites today. Do you think the author to this series is exposing the real world in his work? One of the characters watching the rich and powerful buy slaves at an auction house said, "this is like a miniature version of the world in here." Who's world, his or ours?

One piece surely is one of the closer to a true analogy.
Obviously any young boy who is now in conspiracies and used to read mangas can draw a lot of parallels.
I stopped reading it much time ago and have no patience to recover the read (tooo much stuff), but i do sometimes visit the wikia for fun and spoilers.
Another manga that is exceptional in drawing parallels is HxH (hunter hunter)
The zoldick family. The hunters. The world government playing their inner wars. But most of all the way Nen works, and how it is shielded from the rest of the world.
