(Ok for real tho, One Piece is baby’s first leftist media with a looooot of stuff to criticize, especially some of the early stuff that didn’t age particularly well. But having said all that, it probably is one of the best illustrations of how neoliberal hegemony operates as an unjust oppressive power structure put to fiction, and demonstrates why it is our moral imperative to oppose those structures. It’s not a substitute for reading theory but I don’t think anyone would seriously suggest that anyway, and it’s nice to have at least some popular media that’s for us, y’know?)
