pirate flag

The pirate flag is a famous flag with a black background and a skull and crossbones. It's an iconic image often seen in stories about treasure islands and pirates.

While this flag is known as a "symbol of death," in modern times it has become a fun cultural icon symbolizing adventure and freedom. It's often seen during Halloween or at theme parks.

This flag, actually used by pirates in the 18th century, is called the "Jolly Roger." Each pirate used a unique design, with the skull and crossbones being the most famous.

In modern culture, it has been reinterpreted as a symbol of adventure and romance through Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and various pirate-themed games. Especially among young people, it's sometimes used to express rebellion and a free spirit.
