yes ... and it works for ONE PIECE WORLD .... but in real world ... idk .... I just like a pirate act like a pirate ....
too see great heroic action from people who are not at all like heroes always is far more interesting to me
closest thing we got from this ... was Whitebeard I assume
Whitebeard was a real pirate and among Rocks ... he have many bloods on his hands and destroy many things and did his share of evil
and yet
he did the most heroic thing .... not for sake of doing the right thing ... but for sake of his dream ....
that's MUCH MORE respectable to me and his actions have deeper meaning to me
I mean Luffy is cool , funny and amusing ... I don't dislike him .... but I guess he ain't mu cup of tea as they say
