When the Straw Hat Pirates brought down Arlong Park, they were in the right. They did it to save their friend Nami and the rest of East Blue. Arlong was a menace, and his reign of terror needed to be stopped. If the Arlong Park arc is viewed in this context, the Straw Hats are the heroes. However, something about this story changes based on the context of future arcs. The Fish-Men and Merfolk are among the most tragic races in One Piece history. They have been the victims of oppression and slavery at the hands of humans for centuries.Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, they’re not too fond of being relegated to living at the bottom of the ocean. Coexistence with humans on the surface has been a long, painful process. Looking at matters like this, the Straw Hats come off as villains in the sense of perpetuating a long cycle of Fish-Man abuse at the hands of humans. The Arlong Pirates are still evil and unforgivable, but the Straw Hats’ approach to dealing with them is more insensitive and like a hate crime than intended. The though Arlong Pirates were wrong, it doesn’t mean they’re thoughts towards humans and their painful experiences aren’t valid.Fish-Men have been discriminated against by humans for centuries. They’ve been treated as a subspecies of humans who don’t deserve any more human rights than actual fish. They have been enslaved, killed, and forced to live at the bottom of the ocean. Some things have changed within the last 200 years, but they still experience widespread suffering. Many of these problems are also shared by the Merfolk. Those living on Fish-Man Island have tried to resolve their problems in two ways. One is the diplomatic route, where they petition and lobby to migrate to the surface. It’s a slow and steady progress, but things have moved along a lot since the Straw Hat Pirates visited the island; the royal family even made a rare appearance at the Reverie to discuss this topic.RELATED: One Piece Theory: There Were Once Continents
