A ubiquitous presence of Gen Z protests worldwide has been the pirate flag, featuring a skull and crossbones, or a jolly roger wearing a straw hat. The Jolly Roger was historically used by pirates to instil fear in approaching ships. In One Piece, a Japanese manga (or comic book) by artist Eiichiro Oda, the skull wears a straw hat and a grin to represent the odd bunch of misfits, the Straw Hat.. The pirate flag — a skull with a straw hat — symbolises freedom, Luffy's quest to become the pirate king, and rebellion against the authoritative World Government in the anime.
