I was just watching a news flash… AND ZOMG!!! It was a report about some real modern pirates taking over a ship today in the Aden gulf and suddenly... they showed the ship with Akagami Pirates flag XD
You can watch it here -> www.1tv.ru/news/n122156
Click on the small picture of the ship on the right and watch the video untill you see it.
Pirate age! It exists!!! Oda, what have you done? XD
Real MODERN pirates using Shank`s flag
-
-
Awesome.
Well its official, I’ll see you chumps in the Grand line. -
OMFG it really is Shanks' flag. Oda WTF. He's giving people a reason to be real pirates.
-
Lmfao.
Narutoards? LOLOL this is One-Piece-Tards (I didnt' ahve anything witty there, sorry
I imagine myself their captain is like "Don't worry peeps, if someone comes I'll jsut use my aura to knock them"
-
Doesn´t anyone think that this is a blasphemy? I´d be funny if they weren´t actually attacking that ship…
-
Yes, but we here admire pirates and that
s what thouse guys do. I
m kinda glad pirate romance is still alive. -
Those are more "Buggy pirates" type than "Shanks pirates" type…
-
Hahaha, oh snap! I shouldn't be admiring criminals, but HA! But I can't help but wonder… do you honestly think the pirates know the flags meaning or where it's from? Or do you think they just randomly searched for a "lesser known" Jolly Roger online and that came out?
-
I would totally do that if I was a real pirate. Alas, I lack the courage and gun know-how to succeed as a pirate. But I admire them for using Shanks flag. I woulda used Thriller Barks or somthing though, but Shanks is good too.
-
Good point, plus at the 30 second mark there's some Japanese next to it (at least I'm pretty sure it is.
Well got the FLV, think I'll upload it to Youtube.

Since it`s Asian pirates, yes.
-
LOL the 3 slashes through the eye scream copyright infringement.
-
So that's where Shanks has been.
-
Render them their own personal jolly roger, zero. XD Oh, and check my new sig.
-
The term fanboy has been taken to a whole new level.
I wonder how Oda feels about this.
-
Chances are, he'll probably not even hear about it.
-

Lol, I've vectored shanks' and I'd rather not become a supposed fanboy of terrorists.
(icyw ::: Piracy[like the one in the video, not music stuff] crimes are up 20% this year)

Awesome!
BTW Youtube version is up for anyone interested:

nobody can blame Oda for this one, and if ya do, you might as well blame Pirates of the Caribbean for modern pirates.
-
I hold no interest in Shank's flag, but still, holy crap.
I'll lurk here for now.
-
well shut by mouth and call me Nancy! it's a spilting image of shank's flag!
-
Well, this is certainly more interesting than all of those Death Notes in schools.
-
Speaking of that, wonder if ANN will report this. Likely someone will report it, but I don't think they'll post till they have more details.
-
I don't think anyone but the actual pirates will get in trouble for this. They can't do crap to Oda for this flag. Unless the pirates intend to kill Oda, which they will die forty times before anyone lets that happen.
Why would they pick the Shank's Jolly Roger? I would so pick either the Strawhat Jolly Roger or Chopper/Hiluluk's Jolly Roger.
-
Exactly, despite being Asian I still think the flag was something random and they don't know its history or anything.

Even though they were around long before POTC even became a ride.

Not serious enough.
-
This is the funniest thing I've seen all day! But…which one of those pirates is red-headed? They're all wearing belaclavas!
-

I agree. The only thing that I can think of besides pure luck and just being a cool flag, is that the leader of their crew has a similar scar. In which case they searched for "Jolly Roger with scar" on google. shrugs

yeh, i doubt these guys are one piece fans
but fuck me, awesome find!!! i lol'd
-
How likely is it that this could be coincidence?
After all, the shanks flag is an homage to the flag of Calico Jack.
A great deal of pirate flags nowadays are Calicos than traditional skull-crossbones, so they may've put the line on there to distiguish it?
Not to mention, the clip where the flag is zoomed in on, is in colour, so it's a grey line as opposed to a red one. It is spookily similar, but I've a feeling it is coincidence. -
Uuuh, or the flag could be black and white, no?
-
touché.
-
LOL.
Sorry for digging up such an old thread.
This is retardedly interesting. -
Um.
I realize the report is in Russian.Which is a language I do not speak.
But I do read Japanese and the boat says, "Suspicious Ships" in Japanese followed by a pirate flag indicating it takes down pirate ships. Underneath was clearly written, 'Division of Marine Safety'.
So do they use stock footage in Russia too? Or were they simply showing ships that promote safety in the waters without explaining that?

Disappointed?

ROOFL It made my day

-
Yeah but a Japanese defense ship using it is much less amusing than real pirates in some corner of the world.
-
….i loled.....
-
Crazy pirate basterds. And even OPtards? Not lucky aint we?
-
this is so awesome lool
-
That sucks that it's actually not pirates using the flag :sad: . It's still cool either way that they chose a flag from OP to use. If it is a Japanese ship they had to have known it was from OP.
-
Dear god its the apocolypes @_0
-
Wow! This is really interesting!
-
I lol'ed hard.
Too bad it wasn't real pirates using the flag.
It would be so cool, sailing around and being a pirate in this age. These days, the oceans are all someone else's territory :U

If you're an unidentified plane heading into a country's airspace, there'll probably be a missile or two flying your way. ;A;

survival of the fittest. when you are able to own an actually airship, missiles are of little consequence.
