Looking for books like One Piece
What I mean by this is that it doesn't necessarily have to be a story about pirates. To me One Piece represents freedom, romanticism, fighting for what you believe in, and following your dreams, so I was looking for some books along those lines

Hm, a very good question, but not so easy to answer. Some suggestions:
Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. A gang of young swindlers take on a powerful mafia organization. It's darker than Onepiece, as the main motivation is revenge, but the Gentlemen Bastards feel a lot like the Straw Hat Pirates (including being incredibly competent at what they do). In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan. A portal fantasy where a kid from our world is invited to a school in the magical Borderlands. Quote:
Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho. It has less of the feeling of freedom/we can do anything we want: The protagonists are dealing with serious threats which they can't ignore. But the other themes you mentioned are there. It also contains my favourite paragraph ever: Quote:
I've seen some people writing about the genre hopepunk, as the opposite of grimdark. You might find some promising books searching for that. Quote:
