Indonesians Prepare To Hoist "One Piece" Flags For Independence Day

KARANGANYAR, INDONESIA - AUGUST 10: A pirate flag from the Japanese anime 'One Piece' is displayed on a truck on August 10, 2025 in Karanganyar, Central Java, Indonesia. On social media, calls to raise the pirate flag - a Jolly Roger skull and bone symbol topped with a straw hat from Japan's anime series 'One Piece'- have gone viral ahead of the 80th Indonesian Independence Day celebrations on August 17. The action is being described as a form of protest and criticism of the nation's condition led by President Prabowo Subianto. Government officials and several members of parliament have condemned the call to raise the flag, calling it provocative and potentially divisive, even accusing it of treason.
