I recently started the anime. Yeah. Pretty accurate. Luffy (main character) wants to become king of the pirates but has an ethical code similar to a knight-errant. His crew is very much the same. In one arc, they all risk their lives (including one of them who was still recovering from near-fatal wounds), initially because one of the crew was enslaved as a child by pirates that murdered their mother.

So, yeah. Pretty accurate.
the association with social liberation politics and the straw hat jolly roger only gets stronger as the series goes on
