Zoro said it pretty well post- Enies Lobby: "We're not just pretending to be pirates. This isn't a game." The Straw Hats may not be plunderers, but they do know what it means to be pirates.
@@k3m0t19 invading enies lobby and impel down is as criminal as it gets. It’s just presented in a heroic way because the strawhats are the main characters.
@@aaronhampton9745 true, look at impel down from a civilians point of view. A wanted criminal, who declared war on the government by the way, breaks into a max security prison to break out his even more wanted brother. And, in doing so he also lets out some of the most dangerous people in the world. That's not a heroic act, it's terrorism.
Tekking, there is one part of the pirate code that you completely forgot about and I am utterly, UTTERLY, shocked that you didn't mention: "If your crew loses in a Davey Back Fight and the other captain picks you, you have to be completely loyal to the other crew that have won you"
Well, Tekking, Rocks did allow his crew mates to kill each other. I think BM, WB, and Kaido have codes BECAUSE they saw what happens when someone doesn't. They saw Rocks fall, and they didn't want that fate.
The Rocks pirates was more like an alliance of the strong and not really a crew that he could control outright sorta like Luffy and Law. They had a code of regulation but no real allegiance. Kaido, Linlin, Shiki and Edward Newgate. The only person who could keep that together must've been a nightmare and once Rocks was gone you wouldn't need to defeat the rest of the crew to declare victory they would just leave 😂
@@NotExplicable From what I recall the Rocks pirates were indeed rather bad at cooperating with each other, they apparently killed each other when they were not killing their enemies and as a result didn't reminisce about their time together much. Rocks must have been quite something to keep so many powerful individuals with different viewpoints working together as well as they did. I think funnily enough they are a reflection of the Strawhats. Both groups have a diverse group of individuals with their own strengths and weaknesses and occasionally they have their arguments and fights, but the difference is that at the end of the day none of them really regret joining together while the Rocks pirates clearly only had Rocks himself keeping them in check. I do think that part of the reason that they parted ways was because Whitebeard himself noted that they are not people who are really willing to serve others so they probably went their own ways to keep from fighting for dominance until they could be sure of winning.
@@jamesvach6698 They also have CaC haki, They wouldn't had never been loyal to each other anyways because they were meant to be captains of their crews and not subordinates to each other, Zoro and Ace is a exception to this because they chose to make their captains luffy and WB the kings but to zoro is different, he is putting his dream aside for luffy's so he can become pirate king and putting his life on the line for him which has been shown several times in the anime but also along the way focusing on becoming the strongest swordsman (I also missed other people but I am to lazy to name them)
There's some interesting points I think you could've touched more on 1. there does seem to be some varying on the level of intra crew murder between crews. For example, Big mom has probably iced a few of her men on a hunger pang and Kaido was ready to let a tobi roppo ascend via duel to the death, not to mention queen killing all those minions with the plague bullets, so for him it might be purely a hierarchy based thing, like you can kill whoever's below you but you have to earn it for a chance to go for a bigger position 2. Davy Back fights, I think Robin mentioned that was an old part of the traditions that you literally can't go against and call yourself a pirate, so you have to follow all the explicitly stated rules and you can't just murder the other crew if you lost 3. Jumping off the Davy Back thing, there's a lot of emphasis on flags. If you lose your flag it's a huge sign of failure. Don't explicitly aim for flags like Wapol did. and if you earn the flag of a senior pirate like Bellamy and Doffy, you have their protection to whatever extent they'll grant it, but you have to comport yourself according to that captain's standards and if you don't they can take it away or discipline you
Even though we're talking about Shanks v. Kidd this video, what do you think happened when Shanks confronted Bartelomeo about the Straw Hat merch thing? I'm very curious about this.
@Edward T. i think it depends on how Barto acted before they showed up. If he hurt the citizens then all bets are off. If he just burned the flag and started agressively peddling his merch, i think he'd just get a light maiming and get scared off
It could be argued that Big Mom and Kaido claim to have a code but in reality are scumbags that will break the code if it benefits them. Whereas people like Whitebeard and Shanks will keep to the code even if it puts them at a disadvantage.
I think you CAN go and murder the other crew to get your crew or flag back. What you absolutely couldnt do without being ostracized was steal or sneak the crew member back, or make a new flag and keep flying it as if nothing happened
I think Big Mom abided by their “code” more. Remember when Kaido had Momonosuke by the throat and about to throw him off a cliff? Remember when Kaido was going to execute Momonosuke at onigashima? Big Mom didn’t take kindly to children being hurt (when she’s not having her hunger fits that is) but Kaido didn’t care.
Well it is pirate code it’s prolly more ambiguous than set rules. That’s why their aren’t just 2 types of pirates, oda realized how limiting and unrealistic that is
Kaido was going to spare momonosuke if he wasn't kozuki Kaido couldn't allow a symbol of hope to exist at it will always have ran the risk of rebellion.
I find it intriguing how Shanks turned out when looking at Roger. Like, do you think Roger seriously sat Shanks and Buggy down to give them a no-bs lecture about The Pirate Code?
Plus the mans was an Emperor; he wholly took control of a country, even had connections to Doflamingo and Caesar, and was buying SMILE to bolster his ranks. He probably did have code but the important thing you didn't touch upon was probably Honor or Morals. Him killing a kid because he has to to demoralize the enemy was not surprising by any means.
I wrote a pirate code for my One Piece D&D campaign, it had several articles that boiled down to: 1. Don't kill crew mates, and what to do if someone does, 2. Captain's orders in battle are absolute, how to disagree with them, 3. Pay arrangements, 4. Parle, 5. Crimes pirates can't commit, 6. Trials, 7. Punishments,
That "pretending to be pirates" and "attacking your own crew" thing was a big reason why Luffy was so incensed about Kuro, even beyond his plans to kill Kaya and attack Usopp's village. Which is really cool of him.
Great call back. I'd like to think of an irony though. Luffy seems to be the type of person that won't bother with people and what they're doing unless it directly aligns/hinders what Luffy himself plans on doing. He wouldn't care about Crocodile if it wasn't for Vivi, he wouldn't bother Kuro if it wasn't for his selfish need to want a ship from Kaya, which kind of makes Luffy a bad guy because he'll let other keep doing bad things if it won't bother him, he said himself he doesn't want to be "a hero" because he wants to eat all the meat". The irony is that, albeit non-canon, Luffy was shown in the DBZ crossover that he can ride the nimbus, which we know is not possible if the person doesn't have a pure heart. How can he be pure and be that selfish? -shrugs-
@@n1hondude I would argue against him helping Kaya just for the ship--because if I recall he wasnt 100% sure she would even give him one, and I think it was more because he wanted to help Usopp than anything else, but as to the Nimbus thing... Probably depends on what it defines as "a pure heart." Because Luffy is selfish, sure, but it isnt like he goes around attacking people just to try and hoard things like material goods. Even when it comes to food, he will steal it, sure, like with dining and dashing... But he only does so when he is actually hungry and he doesnt steal it from people who actually need it. At least not intentionally--and in cases like Tama or Fishman Island, he felt bad about eating their special food once he found out how much they did actually need it. So i guess it is like... He is pure in the sense that he doesnt let his morals get corrupted? He is by no means a saint, but he also doesnt go around flaunting his strength just because he can. That could be wrong though. I dont know too much about DBZ anyways.
@@catflower_queen7497 and that’s a good argument, my question at the end was king of rhetorical I would also say he’s “naive selfish”, like a baby who doesn’t know better That’s why he sleeps through important talks because they doesn’t care/understand and has friends to rely on 🤷♂️
there was an accountant/lawyer turned pirate captain (forget his name). He was on a ship that got captured by pirates, and ended up sailing with them for the next several months as a prisoner. The thing is that there was a mutiny and he found himself being the 3rd party, became temporary captain, and ended up doing a better job then either of the other candidates did...
I like whitebeards attitude to blackbeard, because what he said to shanks reminded me of how I imagine he would treat a son gone astray, that he still feels he bears responsibility to teach him a lesson
Yeah, but Blackbeard was never his "son". He was a wolf in sheeps clothing. Whitebeard just thought he was and that he went astray, when Blackbeard was always an evil sonofabitch.
The biggest example of why you shouldn't kill your crewmates is best shown in the Raid on Onigashima. Queen showing no regard for the pleasures and waiters and even infecting them with something that will kill them causes thousands of his subordinates to turn on him. Combined with the gifters getting dango'ed and it makes you shake your head at the petty act of evil. Queen helped the good guys just by being a douche, not something you should do in the middle of a war.
And that’s why I prefer villains who are charismatic as hell and intelligent enough to use it. Petty evil is just, ugh. Even going full on demon shit is better than being a douche like Queen was.
@@jamesvach6698 Queen can also handle those gifters and pleasures but a large quantity of them, I don't think queen can handle that I am not saying he's weak but they did have some skill which if they all attack queen, they can do damage not like kill him but like stop queen from killing them any further
Tekking is just my favorite RUclipsr man not even just for one piece but just in general. He has genuine love his content and isn’t here just for clicks.
Why is everyone acting like Shanks didn't low key start with Kid. He sent out his man basically trying to punk them & said run them pockets lol. Then wants to act surprised when Kid wanted the smoke & was gonna wipe out his fleet
Probably included in the code is procedures for if someone wants to Quit. Stuff like... "We'll drop you off at the next proper island (I.e, one that isn't literally just marooning someone, and an island that actually sees traction) with the pay you've earned and your stuff." or what-not. Prolly also an NDA about the secrets of the crew. Like... not what happened with Usopp, but more akin to a crewmate wanting to leave.
Tekking I think you're the best person I can think of to start and maintain some sort of "bracket" style reference table detailing for the rest of one piece, the battles and their winners. Sort of "THAT person and THAT PERSON are gonna fight?!?!" Type shit
According to the Ace Novels, part of the Pirate Code is that if you're on a boat you contribute to it's function, regardless of how you got there. And I will second a "following through with threats" thing. For example, when big mom was like "You fuckers better have the cake, otherwise I'll have to kill my kid."
Watch the show black sails. It's a great pirate show where they blend a sort of prequel to treasure island and historical figures and occurrences and discuss the Pirate code a lot. Great video man :) But yeah, Kid was asking for it big time. And on the note of Luffy and Zoro, I've seen a meme that says 'you know shit gets serious when Luffy stops smiling and Zoro starts smiling '
To be fair to the Kidd pirates situation with surrendering, it was Dorry and Broggy who continued to attack after they surrendered. And that probably falls more under the whole "you are/were attacking our home" deal. And they were probably acting more as Elbaph citizens at the time than pirates, even though they are both. (Assuming they didnt retire). And the rules surrounding Elbaph and fighting might be different anyways--possibly more fights to the death in order to maintain honor. Or just not accepting surrender when it comes to threats to the island.
Dorry and Broggy got the order from Shanks to follow him into battle. I'm still willing to say it is fair game but I don't see how Kidd broke some code of honor, all those pirate crews were sizing up being ready and willing to fight for Shanks. So Kidd was about to attack people willing to fight while Shanks (or Dorry and Broggy) attacked people unwilling to fight, though that feels like twisting it, in the end Kidds crew was asking for it. EDIT: also this made me think of the moment when Nami and Usopp boasted on specializing in "enemies that have lost the will to fight and fleeing", which was hilarious and fair game.
Yeah theres definitely an unspoken Pirates Code I plan on writing about it at some point but it seems like Elbaf will be where Oda establishes the Pirate Code for the first time since it's the land of Honor and all that. We'll likely get an explanation from Shanks on what this code is and why it's important.
To sum it up: we're pirates seen as evil but we're not truly monsters. Kid: I'm crazy and will rush head long into anything. Luffy:I'm not sharing my meat. That's my pirate way.
Also among One Piece Pirate rules "You have to respect the captain's decisions." You may disagree with what they've decided, but you don't get to just go against that decision. If its a serious, real decision, you have to honor it. And we've actually seen this a lot with the Straw Hats. The most well known being when Usopp argued about Luffy's decision to get a new ship at Water 7 and then left the crew over it, and Zoro refused to let them bring Usopp back unless he apologized for his show of disrespect to Luffy's authority. We see other examples of this too, like with Nami. As much as Nami might panic when Luffy chooses a dangerous course or decision, once Luffy has committed to that action (when its serious, not a comedy bit), Nami accepts it. And she actually complains in these moments less as the series goes on, which I think is partially because of the argument Luffy and Usopp had at Water 7 and realizing that trying to push around Luffy on his decisions really isn't okay.
Regarding Dorry and Broggy destroying the Victoria Punk after Heat and Wire gave Shanks the Poneglyph rubbings, it's important to remember that the giants aren't actually part of Shanks' crew. Shanks dealt with Kidd for his attempted attack on his crew, but the giants were still entitled to enact their own punishment for trying to fire at Elbaf
I don’t think Kidd didn’t realise what he was doing. He strikes me as the type to break the rules and understand that whatever comes out of that is a consequence of that. He wouldn’t be ‘graceful’ about it per se because that isn’t his character but he IS a pirate, he’d probably still be pissed off at Shanks, but that’s because he lost and he hates losing.
Sounds about right. I should note that he is like Luffy in the sense that when he is defeated by someone his typical response seems to be the same, keep trying to fight until he wins, or he dies trying. Now to be clear he is not the same as Luffy, he makes it quite clear that he is not a nice person since he is a pirate after all and there are other differences, but when it comes to this stubbornness, he is similar to Luffy although he probably wouldn't like that comparison.
The line from Dorry and Brogy closely mirror Shank's line from all the way back in the first issue. A mountain bandit points his gun at Shanks, who then says, "You're putting your life on the line by pointing that at me." In other words, if you are going to point a gun at someone, be prepared for them to fight back. Worked out just as well for the bandit as it did for Kid.
Everybody talks about kid coming back from this, but he’s a devil fruit user and his ship blew up. If him and killer aren’t at the bottom of the ocean right now I don’t know what to think. And it’s not like the non- devil fruit users can bring them to shore unless they really have a death wish
Idk am I the only one who thinks Kidd just tried to fight Shanks like a normal pirate would fight another fleet? He got destroyed but that's just the game.
What about the Going Merry? That’s… well, it’s not *exactly* the same but it’s in the same spirit. If you can’t advance with someone/thing because it’s too damaged, you have to be ready to leave then behind. Same could be said for Yubashiri, after it was rusted out, Zoro left it behind on Thriller Bark.
@@final2k565 no, not Brook, Yorki, former captain of the Rumbar Pirates, and Laboon too, but Laboon is another topic. Yorki and other cremates got sick with an incurable, and they left the Rumbar Pirates with their first ship to the Calm Belt, in a last ditch attempt to find help. Crocus even saw them in there and thought all Rumbar Pirates gave up on Laboon because they didn't go to Laboon after leaving the Grand Line. It was only after that that Brook turned into the captain of the Rumbar Pirates when they got their second ship he was unanimously voted captain.
@@final2k565 Brook's crew had to leave York behind (Brook included in leaving York behind). At least, I think his name was York. Might be Yorkie or something similar...
Definitely feels like the defining feature of pirate honour is never to perform an action you aren’t willing to follow through with. You see it right from the earliest chapters with Lucky Roo killing the mountain bandit for pointing his gun to threaten Luffy. Pirating is a life of freedom. But you honour your crew, and you commit to everything you do.
Ok so I've been thinking about why someone would wish for a jacket fruit. And I think Oda will do something about two people in a cold place(maybe even Freezing hell in impel down) and one of them just wished for the power to keep the other person warm- and created the fruit to turn into a jacket for others to wear.
I love how shanks preaches to everyone else about knowing what it means to be a pirate, but the same people in his fleet have no idea what they signed up for they were literally disintegrated in seconds
I don't think kid even considers the code. He will just wake up and be like "Next time i kill shanks". I don't see him blaming anyone as much as just getting angry that he lost.
I think with the "Leaving an ill crew mate behind" thing, it depends on both the crew and the illness, like if someone had a very contagious illness/disease or are on Death's Door then yeah leave them behind
19:24 "When you threaten somebody you have to mean it" Should have told that to the crews that were pulling up to confront Kidd. Shanks was telling everyone to stay back but some of them were already heading out to Kidd. I really don't see Kidd as jumping the gun in that case, he was firing on ships pulling up to fight him. And we heard from those captains, they knew what they were doing, they weren't a ship of civilians getting gunned down by Akainu. They were going with the intent of fighting Kidd and without Shank's future sight, they were going to be decimated for it.
Yeah ,but you're ignoring the fact that his whole reason for being on Elbaf is to take on the Red Haired Pirates. They were pulling up to defend themselves and the island.
This. I feel like each crew has their own code of honor. Kidd's is to treat each potential enemy as a genuine threat. Shanks said everyone knew his allies were weak, but it seemed like Kidd had never heard of them before. So, he treated them as a proper threat and they would have fought to the best of their abilities. Shanks' future sight only shows actions, not thoughts.
I think the reason we don't know the Pirate Code is that while there are universal tenets most pirates follow it varies from crew to crew and of course there are pirates who disregard it 2:00 Speaking of Pirates of the Caribbean I used to have a cool toy sword from the movie that it made sounds when you move it and the fuller had blue lights wish I knew what I did with it maybe one day I'll buy a replacement
Another banger of a video! Some of my favorite moments with luffy are when he goes serious mode as well! Another is when he does things like when he told Otama "I'll make this a place where you can eat as much as you want forever"
Something I thought would be mentioned is how kaidos crew functioned. Where the tobi roppo had the potential to become a headliner by completing a task and challenging the current headliners. Maybe it wasn’t to the death or anything but it seemed interesting
@@mihaimorar2043 Indeed, it seems that Kaido's crew existed in a state of constant outright hostility based on the survival and ascension of the strong. The Tobi Roppo (or some of them) desired to replace the All-Stars by killing them to the point of some ignoring their orders and there are those who desired to replace the Toppi Roppo while the All-Stars would likely have no issue replacing the Toppi Roppo themselves (Queen's deception to trap Drake had to have some degree of believability so this is likely the case).

Tekking, you can become a cyborg yourself with a laser and become a pirate right now. There are a lot of pirates around Somalia today. Furthermore, if you simply do not fly a flag of a recognized nation (so no flag or even just your own flag), then you can be considered a pirate by maritime law, and no one will complain if someone sinks your ship. (It's really messed up and kinda reminds me of the tenryobeto tribute in that if you do not comply, you basically have no human rights.)
If the theory that devil fruit users get sick when approaching Laugh Tale, Usopp will eat a devil fruit soon as he always lies on the 'I-can't-go-on-this-island-or-I'll-die' disease. We all know what happens to Usopp's lies.
I feel like the bit is gonna be something like everyone's perspective on what the pirate code truly is is different from person to person, just sorta seems like the gray area storytelling that Oda likes. Obviously some are more widespread/commonly followed than others, but you can NOT convince me that if you asked Luffy, Shanks, Teach, and Buggy all what they would define as the pirate code you wouldn't get drastically different answers.
Indeed there are many different views of how to be a pirate and likely as many different "codes" so to speak for each person. I once recalled a movie where the pirates have different views of their own set of rules from stringently following them to disregarding them and every position in between, but each individual has their own set of rules even though they may try to disguise them or describe them differently. For example, one such individual said that when it comes to pirates there are no rules, only a matter of what a pirate can and cannot do. He used this as a reason to let one character live saying that he is free to let him drown, but he cannot run the boat by himself when he was looking to avoid killing if he could avoid it. Likewise in the same conversation he told this character that he can believe that his father is a pirate and a good man, or he can choose not to, but pirate is part of who he is by blood so he will have to make peace with that part of himself someday.
What's crazy is that we have seen the Marines break this first article of killing your own at least twice. Akainu killing the soldier trying to leave Marineford and Onigumo killing a soldier who suggested not taking the savage route, like many Marine officers do. I think it really shows there is no good side and bad side, only people can be good or bad (except the World Government - they can go byebye)! :):)
There are those who see ruling by fear as an effective or desired route to getting the results they want. There are also those who have no issue sacrificing those under them if they perceive them as enemies or simply as being in the way.
Not everyone in the world government are evil, 99 percent are but theres people like Kong who in my opinion would most likely be similar to Sen Goku but harsher
Tekking, I'm surprised that you didn't talk about Black Bart Roberts aka the pirate Bartholomew Kuma is based on. Most of his code would fit perfectly in world of one piece
The best example I can think about is when Luffy, Zoro and Nami landed at Syrup Village and were met by Usopp and the other kids pretending to be pirates. They backed down REAL quick when they realized how scary true pirates really are, and Usopp was lucky it was Luffy and Zoro there, not Blackbeard or Kidd.
Iirc pirates basically had a thing like marriage between crew mates. They weren't married in a biblical way, it was just that if they die, the other person gets their stuff.
@Tekking101 Ch. 1079 is pretty much acording to a swedish figur of speech: Är man med i leken så får man leken tåla. Which could be translate to such as "if you decided to play the game be perpared to let play you" or something to that degree.
Sorry guys, I'm gonna have to edumicate you. Similarly how nothing with mass can move at the speed of light and therefor render all your powers calling negligible, you cannot in fact carve into something that is indestructible. That's the definition, mass cannot reach light speed and indestructible cannot be formed.
In a fight between pirates everything is fair game. Sneak attacks, poisoning, double-teaming, hostages, anything. But whatever you do just be ready to face the consequences if you get defeated, Sort of a Fuck around and find out mentality. If you fight fair and get defeated you'll probably walk away without your treasure and few bruises. You fight dirty and get defeated you might be killed.
33:40 How about an Hebi-Hebi no Mi, Ancient Model: Titanoboa We have 2 Regular and 1 Mythical model Snake Zoans Fruits but no Ancient ones Actually there currently is no Zoan line that is in all 3 categories, kinda weird ain't it?
interesting thought: what if Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaidou and Roger set up the pirate code after Rocks to hone in piracy a little? they saw what the government could do if things got to out of hand, so they decided that they should all have to abide by a code of sorts to prevent another Rocks from showing up
Hey Matt, you made some good points there regarding the Pirate Code. I can't help but wonder though, why couldn't Blackbeard just ask of Thatch to give him the Yami Yami No Mi since he was searching specifically for this Devil Fruit ? You could argue that for Blackbeard this fruit was the key-factor to kind of start his over the world, but since everyone aboard Whitebeard's ship was like a family so to speak I feel like he would have a pretty good chance of getting it if he explained his reasons properly to the rest of the crew and asked for it. Still, the result would have been the same (him leaving and forming his own pirate crew) but the murder would have been avoided, also a major plot point though. What are your thoughts on this approach ?
I don't know about Matt, but my thoughts (and keep in mind these are only my thoughts) are that once he has finished using an organization or individual, he doesn't see a reason not to end the relationship violently. With the marines he used them to get into Impel Down, then once he was in marineford he chose to announce his resignation from the position of warlord and after getting Whitebeard's power, he decided to test it by sinking the island. It seems that he has no issue using violence to declare the end of his use for someone.
I'm not sure if tekking understands, but Shanks stopped kidd from attacking. His future sight saw what happened and intercepted kidd as he was charging his canon before he shot. He didn't actually fire it yet when he was cut down.
Honestly really feels like a zabuza situation where the coldest ninja in Naruto should still have human emotions and how hard and impossible it is to completely break from it. One piece the pirates with a code it's likely just take without killing. Don't hurt kids and protect your territory for yonko.
The thing about rules and codes of honor is that these things are for the strong. Most weak pirates can't afford to be honorable and merciful, because they will be crushed either by law enforcement or by the competition. We see time and time again how soft people thriving among the pirates are the exception, not the rule. The best you can hope for when it comes to a pirate code of honor is "don't betray your own people", that's about it.
@@momentaryretrospect5967 my guess is they would probably leave kids alone if they had a bad past or not waste time messing with people Arlong didn't care so he was cool with destroying everything while shanks or Luffy wouldn't do that
@@FerunaLutelou yeah its pretty much a self made code to keep your last sense of morals from snapping as big mom is a hypocrite with how she says she loves family yet let's her kids be bullied for being different
@@ivanbluecool this is a common rule in IRL criminal organisation's, and it exists not because of morals, but because it's impossible to commit such high-risk criminal acts time after time when you 24/7 expect your allies to stab you in the back. The paranoia will literally drive you insane, so this basic rule is usually accepted and enforced.
In the game called Sea of Thieves there is more Morganeer pirates players, but some of them don't just come and just try to shot you down if you escape because you don't want to battle they will hunt you until you and your ship are at the bottom of the sea. Playing solo is the most difficult thing to do on that game because you don't want a enemy player to destroy your ship when you're exploring a island for treasures/ stuffs, so when I play with my friends there is always one person who is left to look out for enemy pirates, and if it looks like they coming toward us then we would be prepared for battle, or hope for good wind so that we can try to escape before the enemy can get to us.
Zoro said it pretty well post- Enies Lobby: "We're not just pretending to be pirates. This isn't a game." The Straw Hats may not be plunderers, but they do know what it means to be pirates.

@@jamesvach6698 They also have CaC haki, They wouldn't had never been loyal to each other anyways because they were meant to be captains of their crews and not subordinates to each other, Zoro and Ace is a exception to this because they chose to make their captains luffy and WB the kings but to zoro is different, he is putting his dream aside for luffy's so he can become pirate king and putting his life on the line for him which has been shown several times in the anime but also along the way focusing on becoming the strongest swordsman (I also missed other people but I am to lazy to name them)
There's some interesting points I think you could've touched more on
1. there does seem to be some varying on the level of intra crew murder between crews. For example, Big mom has probably iced a few of her men on a hunger pang and Kaido was ready to let a tobi roppo ascend via duel to the death, not to mention queen killing all those minions with the plague bullets, so for him it might be purely a hierarchy based thing, like you can kill whoever's below you but you have to earn it for a chance to go for a bigger position
2. Davy Back fights, I think Robin mentioned that was an old part of the traditions that you literally can't go against and call yourself a pirate, so you have to follow all the explicitly stated rules and you can't just murder the other crew if you lost
3. Jumping off the Davy Back thing, there's a lot of emphasis on flags. If you lose your flag it's a huge sign of failure. Don't explicitly aim for flags like Wapol did. and if you earn the flag of a senior pirate like Bellamy and Doffy, you have their protection to whatever extent they'll grant it, but you have to comport yourself according to that captain's standards and if you don't they can take it away or discipline you
Even though we're talking about Shanks v. Kidd this video, what do you think happened when Shanks confronted Bartelomeo about the Straw Hat merch thing? I'm very curious about this.
@Edward T. i think it depends on how Barto acted before they showed up. If he hurt the citizens then all bets are off. If he just burned the flag and started agressively peddling his merch, i think he'd just get a light maiming and get scared off
It could be argued that Big Mom and Kaido claim to have a code but in reality are scumbags that will break the code if it benefits them. Whereas people like Whitebeard and Shanks will keep to the code even if it puts them at a disadvantage.
I think you CAN go and murder the other crew to get your crew or flag back. What you absolutely couldnt do without being ostracized was steal or sneak the crew member back, or make a new flag and keep flying it as if nothing happened
I One Piece videos
I think Big Mom abided by their “code” more.
Remember when Kaido had Momonosuke by the throat and about to throw him off a cliff?
Remember when Kaido was going to execute Momonosuke at onigashima?
Big Mom didn’t take kindly to children being hurt (when she’s not having her hunger fits that is) but Kaido didn’t care.
Well it is pirate code it’s prolly more ambiguous than set rules.
That’s why their aren’t just 2 types of pirates, oda realized how limiting and unrealistic that is
Kaido was going to spare momonosuke if he wasn't kozuki Kaido couldn't allow a symbol of hope to exist at it will always have ran the risk of rebellion.
@@sir.capuchin5242 yup in romance Dawn that’s how it was I’m glad he scrapped the idea of bad pirates and good pirates mostly
I find it intriguing how Shanks turned out when looking at Roger. Like, do you think Roger seriously sat Shanks and Buggy down to give them a no-bs lecture about The Pirate Code?
Plus the mans was an Emperor; he wholly took control of a country, even had connections to Doflamingo and Caesar, and was buying SMILE to bolster his ranks.
He probably did have code but the important thing you didn't touch upon was probably Honor or Morals. Him killing a kid because he has to to demoralize the enemy was not surprising by any means.
I wrote a pirate code for my One Piece D&D campaign, it had several articles that boiled down to:
1. Don't kill crew mates, and what to do if someone does,
2. Captain's orders in battle are absolute, how to disagree with them,
3. Pay arrangements,
4. Parle,
5. Crimes pirates can't commit,
6. Trials,
7. Punishments,
I One Piece videos
That "pretending to be pirates" and "attacking your own crew" thing was a big reason why Luffy was so incensed about Kuro, even beyond his plans to kill Kaya and attack Usopp's village. Which is really cool of him.
Great call back.
I'd like to think of an irony though.
Luffy seems to be the type of person that won't bother with people and what they're doing unless it directly aligns/hinders what Luffy himself plans on doing. He wouldn't care about Crocodile if it wasn't for Vivi, he wouldn't bother Kuro if it wasn't for his selfish need to want a ship from Kaya, which kind of makes Luffy a bad guy because he'll let other keep doing bad things if it won't bother him, he said himself he doesn't want to be "a hero" because he wants to eat all the meat".
The irony is that, albeit non-canon, Luffy was shown in the DBZ crossover that he can ride the nimbus, which we know is not possible if the person doesn't have a pure heart.
How can he be pure and be that selfish? -shrugs-
@@n1hondude I would argue against him helping Kaya just for the ship--because if I recall he wasnt 100% sure she would even give him one, and I think it was more because he wanted to help Usopp than anything else, but as to the Nimbus thing... Probably depends on what it defines as "a pure heart." Because Luffy is selfish, sure, but it isnt like he goes around attacking people just to try and hoard things like material goods. Even when it comes to food, he will steal it, sure, like with dining and dashing... But he only does so when he is actually hungry and he doesnt steal it from people who actually need it. At least not intentionally--and in cases like Tama or Fishman Island, he felt bad about eating their special food once he found out how much they did actually need it.
So i guess it is like... He is pure in the sense that he doesnt let his morals get corrupted? He is by no means a saint, but he also doesnt go around flaunting his strength just because he can.
That could be wrong though. I dont know too much about DBZ anyways.
@@catflower_queen7497 and that’s a good argument, my question at the end was king of rhetorical
I would also say he’s “naive selfish”, like a baby who doesn’t know better
That’s why he sleeps through important talks because they doesn’t care/understand and has friends to rely on 🤷♂️
I One Piece videos
@@n1hondude idk man his selfishness is pretty pure
there was an accountant/lawyer turned pirate captain (forget his name). He was on a ship that got captured by pirates, and ended up sailing with them for the next several months as a prisoner. The thing is that there was a mutiny and he found himself being the 3rd party, became temporary captain, and ended up doing a better job then either of the other candidates did...
I One Piece videos
I like whitebeards attitude to blackbeard, because what he said to shanks reminded me of how I imagine he would treat a son gone astray, that he still feels he bears responsibility to teach him a lesson
To “Teach” him a lesson… I see what you did there 😏
Yeah, but Blackbeard was never his "son". He was a wolf in sheeps clothing. Whitebeard just thought he was and that he went astray, when Blackbeard was always an evil sonofabitch.
Didn't Whitebeard tell Ace to let it go?
I One Piece videos
@@Halcon_Sierreno I thought that was Marco who wanted ace to leave him and let whitebeard himself deal with it
Kid: so anyways i started blasting
Shanks: and i took that personally
The biggest example of why you shouldn't kill your crewmates is best shown in the Raid on Onigashima. Queen showing no regard for the pleasures and waiters and even infecting them with something that will kill them causes thousands of his subordinates to turn on him. Combined with the gifters getting dango'ed and it makes you shake your head at the petty act of evil. Queen helped the good guys just by being a douche, not something you should do in the middle of a war.
And that’s why I prefer villains who are charismatic as hell and intelligent enough to use it. Petty evil is just, ugh. Even going full on demon shit is better than being a douche like Queen was.
queen was just dumb
Yup
Making enemies of your crew is a foolish idea at any time let alone during a full-scale battle.
@@jamesvach6698 Queen can also handle those gifters and pleasures but a large quantity of them, I don't think queen can handle that I am not saying he's weak but they did have some skill which if they all attack queen, they can do damage not like kill him but like stop queen from killing them any further
Tekking is just my favorite RUclipsr man not even just for one piece but just in general. He has genuine love his content and isn’t here just for clicks.
Tekking doesn't clickbait too. I'm annoyed with other one piece RUclipsr that ALWAYS clickbait.
Tekking’s pirate voice just being Davy Jones from Spongebob is one of my favorite things
I've watched you for 10+ years. This video was incredible bro. Dead serious. Nice one.
Why is everyone acting like Shanks didn't low key start with Kid. He sent out his man basically trying to punk them & said run them pockets lol. Then wants to act surprised when Kid wanted the smoke & was gonna wipe out his fleet
Probably included in the code is procedures for if someone wants to Quit. Stuff like... "We'll drop you off at the next proper island (I.e, one that isn't literally just marooning someone, and an island that actually sees traction) with the pay you've earned and your stuff." or what-not. Prolly also an NDA about the secrets of the crew.
Like... not what happened with Usopp, but more akin to a crewmate wanting to leave.
I One Piece videos
Tekking I think you're the best person I can think of to start and maintain some sort of "bracket" style reference table detailing for the rest of one piece, the battles and their winners.
Sort of "THAT person and THAT PERSON are gonna fight?!?!" Type shit
According to the Ace Novels, part of the Pirate Code is that if you're on a boat you contribute to it's function, regardless of how you got there.
And I will second a "following through with threats" thing. For example, when big mom was like "You fuckers better have the cake, otherwise I'll have to kill my kid."
Watch the show black sails. It's a great pirate show where they blend a sort of prequel to treasure island and historical figures and occurrences and discuss the Pirate code a lot. Great video man :)
But yeah, Kid was asking for it big time. And on the note of Luffy and Zoro, I've seen a meme that says 'you know shit gets serious when Luffy stops smiling and Zoro starts smiling '
To be fair to the Kidd pirates situation with surrendering, it was Dorry and Broggy who continued to attack after they surrendered. And that probably falls more under the whole "you are/were attacking our home" deal. And they were probably acting more as Elbaph citizens at the time than pirates, even though they are both. (Assuming they didnt retire). And the rules surrounding Elbaph and fighting might be different anyways--possibly more fights to the death in order to maintain honor. Or just not accepting surrender when it comes to threats to the island.
I One Piece videos
Dorry and Broggy got the order from Shanks to follow him into battle. I'm still willing to say it is fair game but I don't see how Kidd broke some code of honor, all those pirate crews were sizing up being ready and willing to fight for Shanks.
So Kidd was about to attack people willing to fight while Shanks (or Dorry and Broggy) attacked people unwilling to fight, though that feels like twisting it, in the end Kidds crew was asking for it.
EDIT: also this made me think of the moment when Nami and Usopp boasted on specializing in "enemies that have lost the will to fight and fleeing", which was hilarious and fair game.
Yeah theres definitely an unspoken Pirates Code I plan on writing about it at some point but it seems like Elbaf will be where Oda establishes the Pirate Code for the first time since it's the land of Honor and all that. We'll likely get an explanation from Shanks on what this code is and why it's important.
I One Piece videos
Thank you for the video! I always love watching your videos!
To sum it up: we're pirates seen as evil but we're not truly monsters.
Kid: I'm crazy and will rush head long into anything.
Luffy:I'm not sharing my meat. That's my pirate way.
I One Piece videos
Also among One Piece Pirate rules "You have to respect the captain's decisions." You may disagree with what they've decided, but you don't get to just go against that decision. If its a serious, real decision, you have to honor it. And we've actually seen this a lot with the Straw Hats. The most well known being when Usopp argued about Luffy's decision to get a new ship at Water 7 and then left the crew over it, and Zoro refused to let them bring Usopp back unless he apologized for his show of disrespect to Luffy's authority.
We see other examples of this too, like with Nami. As much as Nami might panic when Luffy chooses a dangerous course or decision, once Luffy has committed to that action (when its serious, not a comedy bit), Nami accepts it. And she actually complains in these moments less as the series goes on, which I think is partially because of the argument Luffy and Usopp had at Water 7 and realizing that trying to push around Luffy on his decisions really isn't okay.
Regarding Dorry and Broggy destroying the Victoria Punk after Heat and Wire gave Shanks the Poneglyph rubbings, it's important to remember that the giants aren't actually part of Shanks' crew. Shanks dealt with Kidd for his attempted attack on his crew, but the giants were still entitled to enact their own punishment for trying to fire at Elbaf
I One Piece videos
Been looking forward to this vid since he mentioned the idea but I didn't expect Tekking to actually get to it in a timely manner 😂😅
I One Piece videos
I don’t think Kidd didn’t realise what he was doing. He strikes me as the type to break the rules and understand that whatever comes out of that is a consequence of that. He wouldn’t be ‘graceful’ about it per se because that isn’t his character but he IS a pirate, he’d probably still be pissed off at Shanks, but that’s because he lost and he hates losing.
Sounds about right. I should note that he is like Luffy in the sense that when he is defeated by someone his typical response seems to be the same, keep trying to fight until he wins, or he dies trying. Now to be clear he is not the same as Luffy, he makes it quite clear that he is not a nice person since he is a pirate after all and there are other differences, but when it comes to this stubbornness, he is similar to Luffy although he probably wouldn't like that comparison.
@@jamesvach6698 true!!!
Shanks be Like, "I'm sorry, Kidd, it didn't have to be this way, but you wouldn't leave well enough alone."
I thought they were more like guidelines. That's what was said in the pirate of the Caribbean movies haha
The line from Dorry and Brogy closely mirror Shank's line from all the way back in the first issue. A mountain bandit points his gun at Shanks, who then says, "You're putting your life on the line by pointing that at me." In other words, if you are going to point a gun at someone, be prepared for them to fight back. Worked out just as well for the bandit as it did for Kid.
The Pirate Code is really awesome. Really appreciate the ways like Shanks and Luffy followed up with the code.
Great topic tekking. I've been researching the code lately in an attempt to discover the one piece
Everybody talks about kid coming back from this, but he’s a devil fruit user and his ship blew up. If him and killer aren’t at the bottom of the ocean right now I don’t know what to think. And it’s not like the non- devil fruit users can bring them to shore unless they really have a death wish
Idk am I the only one who thinks Kidd just tried to fight Shanks like a normal pirate would fight another fleet? He got destroyed but that's just the game.
The biggest examples of a pirate crew leaving someone behind was Brook's crew leaving their captain and Roger's crew leaving Buggy (and Shanks)
What about the Going Merry? That’s… well, it’s not *exactly* the same but it’s in the same spirit. If you can’t advance with someone/thing because it’s too damaged, you have to be ready to leave then behind. Same could be said for Yubashiri, after it was rusted out, Zoro left it behind on Thriller Bark.
I don’t see anything about brooks crew leaving him behind just that they gave him the nicknames for his attacks
@@final2k565 no, not Brook, Yorki, former captain of the Rumbar Pirates, and Laboon too, but Laboon is another topic.
Yorki and other cremates got sick with an incurable, and they left the Rumbar Pirates with their first ship to the Calm Belt, in a last ditch attempt to find help. Crocus even saw them in there and thought all Rumbar Pirates gave up on Laboon because they didn't go to Laboon after leaving the Grand Line.
It was only after that that Brook turned into the captain of the Rumbar Pirates when they got their second ship he was unanimously voted captain.
@@final2k565 Brook's crew had to leave York behind (Brook included in leaving York behind). At least, I think his name was York. Might be Yorkie or something similar...
Buggy wasn’t kicked out, was he? I thought that he only disappeared after the Roger crew was disbanded.
Definitely feels like the defining feature of pirate honour is never to perform an action you aren’t willing to follow through with.
You see it right from the earliest chapters with Lucky Roo killing the mountain bandit for pointing his gun to threaten Luffy.
Pirating is a life of freedom. But you honour your crew, and you commit to everything you do.
Ok so I've been thinking about why someone would wish for a jacket fruit. And I think Oda will do something about two people in a cold place(maybe even Freezing hell in impel down) and one of them just wished for the power to keep the other person warm- and created the fruit to turn into a jacket for others to wear.
I One Piece videos
I was so excited for this video
I love how shanks preaches to everyone else about knowing what it means to be a pirate, but the same people in his fleet have no idea what they signed up for they were literally disintegrated in seconds
They weren't‚ it was just Shanks's future vision
I One Piece videos
This is gonna be random asf, but I fear for the length of the video essay this man will produce when the one piece is revealed.
I don't think kid even considers the code. He will just wake up and be like "Next time i kill shanks". I don't see him blaming anyone as much as just getting angry that he lost.
I think with the "Leaving an ill crew mate behind" thing, it depends on both the crew and the illness, like if someone had a very contagious illness/disease or are on Death's Door then yeah leave them behind
I One Piece videos
or if someone physically cannot continue no matter what you do. RIP going merry
@@InsanePigeon That would be included under the "Being on Death's Door" part
fun fact: if i could choose an ancient zoan to consume ive always thought about it being the titanoboa fruit. just got excited hearing about it
19:24 "When you threaten somebody you have to mean it" Should have told that to the crews that were pulling up to confront Kidd. Shanks was telling everyone to stay back but some of them were already heading out to Kidd. I really don't see Kidd as jumping the gun in that case, he was firing on ships pulling up to fight him. And we heard from those captains, they knew what they were doing, they weren't a ship of civilians getting gunned down by Akainu. They were going with the intent of fighting Kidd and without Shank's future sight, they were going to be decimated for it.
Yeah ,but you're ignoring the fact that his whole reason for being on Elbaf is to take on the Red Haired Pirates. They were pulling up to defend themselves and the island.
@@RashardG.-vh7hm That wasn't his reason for going to eblaf. he looking for the man scared by flames.
Thank you. Pirates having a code is all well and good, but this does not apply to the Kidd v Shanks situation.
@@RashardG.-vh7hm Kidd didn’t know that they were there I think
This. I feel like each crew has their own code of honor. Kidd's is to treat each potential enemy as a genuine threat. Shanks said everyone knew his allies were weak, but it seemed like Kidd had never heard of them before. So, he treated them as a proper threat and they would have fought to the best of their abilities. Shanks' future sight only shows actions, not thoughts.

Lead Performer, you mean. The Tobi Roppo are already above the headliners.
I One Piece videos
@@mihaimorar2043 Indeed, it seems that Kaido's crew existed in a state of constant outright hostility based on the survival and ascension of the strong. The Tobi Roppo (or some of them) desired to replace the All-Stars by killing them to the point of some ignoring their orders and there are those who desired to replace the Toppi Roppo while the All-Stars would likely have no issue replacing the Toppi Roppo themselves (Queen's deception to trap Drake had to have some degree of believability so this is likely the case).

Tekking, you can become a cyborg yourself with a laser and become a pirate right now.
There are a lot of pirates around Somalia today.
Furthermore, if you simply do not fly a flag of a recognized nation (so no flag or even just your own flag), then you can be considered a pirate by maritime law, and no one will complain if someone sinks your ship.
(It's really messed up and kinda reminds me of the tenryobeto tribute in that if you do not comply, you basically have no human rights.)
If the theory that devil fruit users get sick when approaching Laugh Tale, Usopp will eat a devil fruit soon as he always lies on the 'I-can't-go-on-this-island-or-I'll-die' disease. We all know what happens to Usopp's lies.

I feel like the bit is gonna be something like everyone's perspective on what the pirate code truly is is different from person to person, just sorta seems like the gray area storytelling that Oda likes. Obviously some are more widespread/commonly followed than others, but you can NOT convince me that if you asked Luffy, Shanks, Teach, and Buggy all what they would define as the pirate code you wouldn't get drastically different answers.
I One Piece videos
Indeed there are many different views of how to be a pirate and likely as many different "codes" so to speak for each person. I once recalled a movie where the pirates have different views of their own set of rules from stringently following them to disregarding them and every position in between, but each individual has their own set of rules even though they may try to disguise them or describe them differently. For example, one such individual said that when it comes to pirates there are no rules, only a matter of what a pirate can and cannot do. He used this as a reason to let one character live saying that he is free to let him drown, but he cannot run the boat by himself when he was looking to avoid killing if he could avoid it. Likewise in the same conversation he told this character that he can believe that his father is a pirate and a good man, or he can choose not to, but pirate is part of who he is by blood so he will have to make peace with that part of himself someday.
To quote another rather infamous pirate, “The Code is more what you call guidelines than actual rules.”
Kidd be like: They're more like ~guidelines~ really
They forgot to take the key to open the chest at the last island. So the whole purpose of their journey went to water... what a twist la la la.
big tekking

Kid never actually shot his damned punk. Shanks just saw it with his observation haki, the next panel it shows the ships still in tact.
What's crazy is that we have seen the Marines break this first article of killing your own at least twice. Akainu killing the soldier trying to leave Marineford and Onigumo killing a soldier who suggested not taking the savage route, like many Marine officers do. I think it really shows there is no good side and bad side, only people can be good or bad (except the World Government - they can go byebye)! :):)
I can make an argument for akainu.
Onigumo i can't though.
I One Piece videos
There are those who see ruling by fear as an effective or desired route to getting the results they want. There are also those who have no issue sacrificing those under them if they perceive them as enemies or simply as being in the way.
Not everyone in the world government are evil, 99 percent are but theres people like Kong who in my opinion would most likely be similar to Sen Goku but harsher
"The code is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules, lad."
Tekking, I'm surprised that you didn't talk about Black Bart Roberts aka the pirate Bartholomew Kuma is based on.
Most of his code would fit perfectly in world of one piece
The best example I can think about is when Luffy, Zoro and Nami landed at Syrup Village and were met by Usopp and the other kids pretending to be pirates. They backed down REAL quick when they realized how scary true pirates really are, and Usopp was lucky it was Luffy and Zoro there, not Blackbeard or Kidd.

Tekking here’s an idea… God Ussop Vs Yonko Buggy…
You forgot the important loophole for the first rule, if you are in a hunger based tempter tantrum it is fine to attempt to kill a crewmate
Iirc pirates basically had a thing like marriage between crew mates. They weren't married in a biblical way, it was just that if they die, the other person gets their stuff.
You notice the leave them behind rule with roger and buggy because they didn’t take him to laugh tale or wait for him to recover
I feel like bb will be killed by a crewmate ironically
Kidd will join the Crossguild
Buggy got sick and rogers left him at home
@Tekking101
Ch. 1079 is pretty much acording to a swedish figur of speech: Är man med i leken så får man leken tåla.
Which could be translate to such as "if you decided to play the game be perpared to let play you" or something to that degree.
Sorry guys, I'm gonna have to edumicate you.
Similarly how nothing with mass can move at the speed of light and therefor render all your powers calling negligible, you cannot in fact carve into something that is indestructible.
That's the definition, mass cannot reach light speed and indestructible cannot be formed.
These contracts were also implemented on whaling ships as explained in Moby Dick
In a fight between pirates everything is fair game. Sneak attacks, poisoning, double-teaming, hostages, anything. But whatever you do just be ready to face the consequences if you get defeated, Sort of a Fuck around and find out mentality. If you fight fair and get defeated you'll probably walk away without your treasure and few bruises. You fight dirty and get defeated you might be killed.
Isnt "go ahead and kill each other while on my ship" how Rocks ran things?
Killing innocent people would definitely be in the code I can’t believe tekking didn’t touch the big mom stuff when she bought up the pirate code
“How to be a pirate real real good” book title

We have 2 Regular and 1 Mythical model Snake Zoans Fruits but no Ancient ones
Actually there currently is no Zoan line that is in all 3 categories, kinda weird ain't it?
Thank you for a great video guys
interesting thought: what if Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaidou and Roger set up the pirate code after Rocks to hone in piracy a little? they saw what the government could do if things got to out of hand, so they decided that they should all have to abide by a code of sorts to prevent another Rocks from showing up
I could see it.
Roger technically left Buggy behind when he was sick.
Pirate code: ITS ON SIGHT
Hey Matt, you made some good points there regarding the Pirate Code. I can't help but wonder though, why couldn't Blackbeard just ask of Thatch to give him the Yami Yami No Mi since he was searching specifically for this Devil Fruit ? You could argue that for Blackbeard this fruit was the key-factor to kind of start his over the world, but since everyone aboard Whitebeard's ship was like a family so to speak I feel like he would have a pretty good chance of getting it if he explained his reasons properly to the rest of the crew and asked for it. Still, the result would have been the same (him leaving and forming his own pirate crew) but the murder would have been avoided, also a major plot point though. What are your thoughts on this approach ?
I don't know about Matt, but my thoughts (and keep in mind these are only my thoughts) are that once he has finished using an organization or individual, he doesn't see a reason not to end the relationship violently. With the marines he used them to get into Impel Down, then once he was in marineford he chose to announce his resignation from the position of warlord and after getting Whitebeard's power, he decided to test it by sinking the island. It seems that he has no issue using violence to declare the end of his use for someone.
Honor amongst thieves.
I'm not sure if tekking understands, but Shanks stopped kidd from attacking. His future sight saw what happened and intercepted kidd as he was charging his canon before he shot. He didn't actually fire it yet when he was cut down.

Honestly really feels like a zabuza situation where the coldest ninja in Naruto should still have human emotions and how hard and impossible it is to completely break from it.
One piece the pirates with a code it's likely just take without killing. Don't hurt kids and protect your territory for yonko.
Is hurting kids something they're not allowed to do? The only pirate like that I can think of is Big Mom and that seemed more like a personal code
The thing about rules and codes of honor is that these things are for the strong. Most weak pirates can't afford to be honorable and merciful, because they will be crushed either by law enforcement or by the competition. We see time and time again how soft people thriving among the pirates are the exception, not the rule. The best you can hope for when it comes to a pirate code of honor is "don't betray your own people", that's about it.
@@momentaryretrospect5967 my guess is they would probably leave kids alone if they had a bad past or not waste time messing with people
Arlong didn't care so he was cool with destroying everything while shanks or Luffy wouldn't do that
@@FerunaLutelou yeah its pretty much a self made code to keep your last sense of morals from snapping as big mom is a hypocrite with how she says she loves family yet let's her kids be bullied for being different
@@ivanbluecool this is a common rule in IRL criminal organisation's, and it exists not because of morals, but because it's impossible to commit such high-risk criminal acts time after time when you 24/7 expect your allies to stab you in the back. The paranoia will literally drive you insane, so this basic rule is usually accepted and enforced.
In the game called Sea of Thieves there is more Morganeer pirates players, but some of them don't just come and just try to shot you down if you escape because you don't want to battle they will hunt you until you and your ship are at the bottom of the sea.
Playing solo is the most difficult thing to do on that game because you don't want a enemy player to destroy your ship when you're exploring a island for treasures/ stuffs, so when I play with my friends there is always one person who is left to look out for enemy pirates, and if it looks like they coming toward us then we would be prepared for battle, or hope for good wind so that we can try to escape before the enemy can get to us.
