Line 32:
** In fact, the series seems to make the point that pirates who do act like pirates are at best [[Jerkass]]es and at worst [[Complete Monster]]s. [[Truth in Television|Just like in real life.]]
** In the manga, it's been explained in ''Romance Dawn, Version 1'' that in ''One Piece'', there are two types of pirates: Morgania, who pillage and plunder, and Peace Main, who hunt the Morgania. Luffy resembles a Peace Main and not one who does nothing at that. The distinction is briefly touched upon near the end of the Kuro arc, in which Luffy complains that Kuro and his men weren't "real" pirates. Nami responds that most pirates are like them, an opinion he is unwilling to accept.
** The Straw Hats' plan during the [[Filler Arc| Marine Rookie Arc]] - infiltrate a Marine base to steal their supplies - does seem like a plan actual pirates would use, but given their much smaller numbers they rely more on stealth than outright fighting. Not that it doesn't lead to a LOT of fighting, of course.
* The Vongola family from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' have yet to do anything terribly illegal despite being [[The Mafia]]. Even Reborn, the teeny-tiny assassin, never manages to ''kill'' anyone with his array of magic bullets. They do engage in mob wars (mostly in self-defense) later on. This is mainly due to [[Kid Hero|Tsuna]] being a [[Reluctant Warrior|pacifist]] and not ''wanting'' anyone to die. In the past the Vongola were known to be fiercer and much more violent. [[Blood Knight|Xanxus]] and [[Career Killers|the Varia]] live up to this.
* In the ''[[Love Hina]]'' manga, Kitsune claims to be a freelance writer; there's exactly zero evidence to support this. Though it's more socially acceptable to list "writer" instead of "[[Con Artist]]" as your occupation.
