Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
Given there are apparently around 27 million soldiers in the world today, is this a Not Knowing Numbers Moment, or deliberate worldbuilding implying that One Piece has a higher population than modern earth?
That would be congruous with the many observations suggesting that the one piece planet is significantly larger than earth.
So like odas infamously known for being bad at scaling things (just take a look at zuneishas retconned height). But I think this just shows how heavily militarized the one piece world is. You basically have to be folded into the world governments army if you want to leave your island and have some sort of stable job.
The one piece world is a post apocalyptic one analogous to ours but I think its also just far bigger because oda wants to be able to tell the story of people discovering the past and exploring the vast forgotten expanse instead of clinging onto things that they know.
