We are back... kind of! This episode is also available on the main One Piece Podcast feed, and is presented ad-free. Look forward to new episodes of Fight Together, and specifically about the use of One Piece as a protest symbol, in the coming weeks and months!

This week we’re sitting down for a conversation about the recent widespread use of the Straw Hat flag in international protests - how it gained prominence, reflects on the themes of the series, and what the future might hold now that the iconography of One Piece is entering the political sphere.

Featuring special guests GolferGareBear (TikTok sensation) and Dr. Raylene Bentlin (Cultural Anthropologist and One Piece scholar)!
