The “Hot Houthi Pirate” on TikTok is a Yemeni man allegedly associated with the Houthi movement, a military organization in Yemen. He gained significant attention on social media after posting videos of himself on boats holding the Yemeni flag. The TikTok and Instagram accounts of the man showcase his activities in the Red Sea, amidst the ongoing conflict.
The man became an overnight sensation due to his good looks, earning the title of “Hot Houthi Pirate.” Comments on his videos expressed admiration for his appearance and support for his endeavors. In a Twitch interview with Hasan, a popular political streamer, it was revealed that the “Hot Houthi Pirate” is also a devoted One Piece fan.
During the interview, Hasan asked the man about his familiarity with One Piece, given the parallels between the Houthi pirate and the Straw Hats, the main characters in the anime. The man confirmed that he had been watching One Piece since childhood. Hasan drew a comparison between the actions of the Houthis and what the character “Luffy” from One Piece would do.
Hasan highlighted the political undertones in One Piece, where pirates, including the Straw Hats, are often portrayed as opponents of the World Government. The comparison between the Houthis and the Straw Hats may seem unusual, but One Piece is known for drawing inspiration from real-life events, both past and present. The discussion delves into the political context of the Houthi movement and the recent events in Yemen.
