Just curious... Any thoughts?
In this manga/anime, we have a bunch of Pirates. Obviously when I was young I though well, how come pirates are depicted as good in here, while IRL pirates are bad. There must be something wrong with this anime.
A few years passed, shit has happened to me, to the world, I see things in a different way now... Plus I have seen more One Piece episodes and well, what do I watch? That there are lots of analogies between what we IRL call conspiracies, and the world of OP.
The consp. that there are reptilian/celestial elites behind the scenes in OP. is a truth. They are called celestial dragons.
Well, the world government isn't good. Earth has some particular/magical regions which only a few ppl know about.
Obviously, the general population is depicted as innocent, but also as imbeciles and weak. Aka blind to the truths...
Any thoughts? Are these things put in there intentionally, accidentally? Does the creator know stuff?
Another question arises, what is the perception of japanese or chinese ppl to the Western conspiracies?
The world government is definitely the super villain in One Piece, all the emperors are under them, and the navy, and most of the local governments. Black Beard is sort of a wild card, but he'll probably get tied back to the world government too. And part of the charm of Luffy being a pirate is how he has no clue that pirates are bad, he just wants to travel the world having adventures and making friends. And beating up all the bad guys.
sure, but Luffy is also someone who never lies, and is genuine, in search for truth and never tolerates injustice. So these are obviously good traits.
Also, a theme in the manga/anime is that the World government is just a tool in the hands of the elite, to keep the status quo, and that a BIG part of world history is hidden,, purposefully hidden, purposefully destroyed. And all those who dare talk or research this hidden history are killed.
Yeah, the hunt for the poneglyphs for the location of the One Piece. I'm only 2/3 through the Wano arc. And of course Luffy is angry that his brother Ace was killed, so there's a bit of revenge mixed in too. In general One Piece is much better entertainment than what's on TV nowadays.
