I recently started the anime. Yeah. Pretty accurate. Luffy (main character) wants to become king of the pirates but has an ethical code similar to a knight-errant. His crew is very much the same. In one arc, they all risk their lives (including one of them who was still recovering from near-fatal wounds), initially because one of the crew was enslaved as a child by pirates that murdered their mother.
Somehow I dont think this fits in NotTheOnion. The Onion has been pretty decent these last few years, and reality is showing itself to not even be good satire. This seems to be more of a phoned in Onion article at best.

the association with social liberation politics and the straw hat jolly roger only gets stronger as the series goes on
There it is
Well we can't have that, it might undermine the supreme leader.
Did they? That's got to be a pretty bad sign for national dignity.
Anyway, it's a good choice of flag.
