the thing about One Piece is that it's like "here's this mentor-child relationship that we are going to spend the ENTIRE 50-page first chapter getting you invested in and attached to. they're not planning to meet again after this until the hypothetical endgame of this story, just btw"
And then you get maybe a hundred chapters in and you go "WAIT..." and you look it up and there are 1100 chapters total and these two characters have STILL not interacted since Chapter One. They're planning to! They've both spent some time gazing at the horizon and being defining motivations for each other! But interaction? NAH.
Anyway I'm used to it now, but that's why I dropped One Piece the first time I tried binging it.

Man, that skinny poetry gnome was right. About the winding river and stuff.

I just like it when characters view each other with absolute faith and zero respect.

"I'll sing you a song," this fair maid did cry.
The captain was weeping for joy, oh
She sang it so sweetly, so soft and completely
She sang captain and sailors to sleep, oh
Captain and sailors to sleep.
She robbed them of jewels, she robbed them of wealth,
She robbed them of costly fine fare, oh.
The captain's broadsword she used as an oar
And she rowed her way back to the shore, shore, shore,
She rowed her way back to the shore.
-"The Maid on the Shore," as sung by Solas, though I like the Stan Rogers version, too.
For my senior project in high school, I illustrated this song into a picture book. I always liked it because it's one of the few folk songs where a girl outwits a group of men who want her and still manages to have a happy ending.

Have come to the conclusion that the best fit for the Straw Hats in a modern AU is as a heist team.
Are they a typical heist team? Do they really fit the definition of "thieves"? Probably not but they're not typical pirates either. YOU try convincing Luffy he's not a real thief just because he never plans ahead or actually wants to keep the loot.
Thief motifs of freedom, overthrowing order, transgressing laws/rules/walls, etc. are all good fits for them. I can draw parallels between Luffy and Eugenides AND Parker AND Ezekiel Jones if I try a little.
The crew already depends on leaning on each others' areas of expertise, adapting on the fly, and pulling off insane things just because Luffy wants to. Main differences from Leverage are that they would not deliberately set out to help the Little Guy in the abstract, and if anyone called Luffy the Mastermind they'd all die laughing.
Nami does all the actual heist planning, which works well with being their thief and navigator.
Zoro's a Hitter, Usopp and Franky are Hackers, Robin and Sanji are Grifters, and Luffy and Nami are the primary Thieves. Obviously some of them have multiple areas, though - Nami can grift with the best of them, Usopp's working on his skills, Sanji's their other hitter, and Robin's honestly spent enough time solo to be an all-rounder. Jinbei is a hitter but also has more heist experience than any of them.
I don't know what Chopper and Brook do or what their deal is (unethical medical experimentation backstories? maybe they can be a little sci-fi, as a treat), but I think the crew usually prefers to have Chopper in the van with Usopp.
Is there a One Piece they're trying to steal? Maybe. Is there a King of Thieves title? That really depends on whether or not Roger existed in this world.
Either way, Luffy is thriving on stealing whatever he or his friends happen to desire. He doesn't know what "corporate espionage" means, but Nami and Robin do so that's fine! Meanwhile, he's great at dodging through laser grids.
What do you mean, "Robin Hood"?? Luffy's not a hero, he's a thief! He just happens to help his friends when they have problems, that's all!
