Pramono Doesn't Want To Worry About Raising The One Piece Flag In Jakarta
DKI Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung admitted that he did not want to interfere with the polemic of raising the pirate flag from the anime and One Piece manga, even though it happened in Jakarta.
Pramono handed over the confinement and handling of the flag installation to the central government.
"For things related to the flag, let it be the central government," said Pramono at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday, August 5.
The narrative of raising the One Piece flag has appeared in the last few days, in the midst of preparations for the celebration of Indonesia's 80th Anniversary. On social media, there was also a lot of uploads of black One Piece flag photos with a skull symbol and straw hat, which was later named Jolly Roger.
The flag is a typical symbol of the pirate group led by Monkey D. Luffy, the main character in the story by Eiichiro Oda. The Morning Roger flag, citing onepiece.fandom.com, is not only a symbol of power, but also called voicing freedom, personal belief, and friendship.
Meanwhile, the GameRant page says One Piece has successfully communicated well that Jolly Roger is not just a pirate flag, but the lifeblood of the crew. So, these designs realize the ideals and strengths of each crew in this series.
The narrative of the raising of the pirate flag from the One Piece manga has been responded to by the government's skepticism. The Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs, Budi Gunawan, said that this action was a form of provocation that could reduce the authority and status of the Red and White Flag.
"As a great nation that respects history, we should all exercise restraint, and not provoke with symbols that are irrelevant to the nation's struggle," said Budi Gunawan, some time ago.

"We also detect and also get input from security institutions, indeed there are efforts, yes, to divide the unity and integrity of the nation," said Dasco at the Parliament Complex, Senayan.
