>Luffy is DA CHONSEN WANfor fuck's sake, One Piece was supposed to be the exception to that shit.
>>288881768>One Piece was supposed to be the exception to that shit.why? who said that?
Genetics and family heritage matters, Just like in real life.
>>288881768Every shonen that goes on long enough ends up like that
>>288881768I don't mind the chosen one crap but the "it was the chosen fruit" just makes it lame. I'd be ok with a chosen one badass with the gumgum fruit.
>>288882226that reminds me, I had my concerns about Roger having the gumgum but it ended up being even worse with joyboy
>the one piece was the fruit all along You know itI know itOda fucking knows it
Anon, I have seen a One Piece fan turn into it's biggest hater because one of the complaints he had was almost everyone the straw hats have met was either royalty or had a connection to it. Hell, the straw hats are the same. Frankly comes to mind.
>>288881798>Genetics and family heritage matters, Just like in real life./threadHard work is copium used by talentless hacks in the West, Japan and the rest of Asia know better.
>>288882483>rest of Asiai smell a jeet
>>288881768Don't worry, even nuBerserk is pulling that shit.
>>288882301i will literally kill Oda with my bare hands if this is the twist.
>>288881768Yeah, Luffy was just a regular guy, not the secret son of the guy leading the resistance against the government or a member of an ancient clan that's been battling the evil king for centuries, making him the chosen one completely changes the story!!!
>>288884661it's the very last straw
>>288881768yo oh oh he took a bite of the god fruit
>>288882301Oda is actually too scared to show us an ending.
>>288885058Given how Kubo and Isayama were treated on social media, can you blame him?
>>288882301The treasure on Gaimon's island? That was the one piece
>>288881768>>288884661Now you all understand how/why the Star Wars prequels RUINED the Skywalkers worse than Disney.
>>288881768they already retconned the gumgum fruit.nothing matters anymore.people only still read because sunk cost fallacy.its hajime no ippo all over again.
>>288885089Well in that case, Oda had better write a good ending, huh?
>>288885191Like he fucking can. His Disney story has nowhere else to go.
>>288885167>>288885191Anon you know damn well this is never the case. Otherwise "Nips write bad endings" would've stopped being a thing ages ago. Keep in mind that he does this shit for fun, and he's a rich bitch no matter what happens.
>>288881768Everything after the time skip is non canon filler
>>288882483This is cope by people who will never have children.>I have no gf, no sex, no family, no good job but I'm still better than anyone. The world wronged meBillions must die etc
>>288882483Power of Friendship aka connections and networking mogs both though.
>>288882301crazy thing was I suspected this from Roger as a concern that he was the previous gum gum userturns out it is even worse than that with joy boy
>>288881768>son of the revolutionary leader>part of the 'D' lineage >has CoC haki>"What do you mean he's a special chosen one like every other shonen protagonist?!?!?"
>>288882301 It's literally Lili's one piece swimsuit and a message etched on a poneglyph about how they had sex there. Imu is seething about it to this day to the point where if pirates reach this island and read the message and start spreading it around and gossiping he will have no option but to flood the world and kill them all. That's why Roger and his crew didn't say anything about it and just let pirates get strong to reach it and things have to align before word gets out. That way they have a fighting chance against Imu once he goes full blown mad when the entire world hears about how he got cucked.
>>288886948>
>>288884661and also the grandson of a legendary marine soldier and brother to the pirate king's only son
Using any of the Big Three for this argument is hilariously ignorant. Legacy is a huge element in One Piece and always has been. Without exception every one of Luffy's crew have some lineage they're trying to live up to or haunting them.In Naruto family lineages and blood feuds are common, and Naruto's role was to both inherit the cyclical conflict, and then break it.And in Bleach all of Ichigo's abilities are inherited from one of his predecessors. His Shikigami power comes from his dad. His Quincy and Fullbring power comes from his mom. His Visored power comes from both parents.
>>288885153>its hajime no ippo all over again.Aww man, I was hoping for a daily to start reading that shit.
One Piece is so boring. Even though we are nearing the end there still is no big event. In Naruto we had that Giant War (where every single character was involved and played a part). In Dragon Ball we have great fights and transformations (The SSJ3 Goku vs Kid Buu was amazing). One Piece remains the most boring and watered down shonen. Nothing really matters. There are no stakes. Its just luffy running around and making gag faces while punching the next big guy. If this is the hype-buildup to the endgame, I can't even imagine what the end will be like. It is such a giant fucking letdown because I have dissolved so many hours in this manga.>>288882483Finally someone with a good opinion.
People still care about what the One Piece is? I guess I should not surprised, there are people after all, that claim to read this for anything other than sunk cost.
>>288882089How many rich and influential people today are from rich and influential families?
>>288881785>>288881798I remember when opfags mocked Naruto for this and defended Luffy being a normal guy LMAO
>>288888456This isn't true because I remember how good it was in Sabody and how much stakes it had.If the series just ended there. It would probably have been the best that's ever been but the fact that it had to continue afterwards has in fact turned it into generic slop that will probably be forgotten as soon as it ends.One piece will never have a legacy like some of the greats
>>288888456Oda discarded too many characters. Where are BMPs? Shouldn't they be rescuing Pudding? Why must everything bb does be offscreened?
>>288887763Honestly growing up with it just made me realize I lived in a bad era of writing. I should never have opened my first shonen jump. Books and Vidya are unironically better and Manga is genuinely mostly bad.
>>288888498The one piece is probably going to be some lame thing related to void century at this point. I mean Roger's treasure aparently wasn't his, but joy boys, so, what's the chance of one piece being joyboy's (something) too? It also would explain why we haven't had a VC flashback yet.
>>288882483>Is the son of the strongest guy on the planet >Loses most fights and has barely any powers >Not even the protagonist anymore Hunter chads stay Winning
>>288888456One Piece is an epic story that the author stubbornly refuses to tell. He'd rather feed us breadcrumbs for 30+ years straight and ruin his own health doing it.
>>288882483Wait . . . because hard work makes you steadily improve over time, therefore, ERGO, there are no geniuses, nobody has any starting advantages or inborn talent?Stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard, how could anybody extrapolate that from the fact that hard work makes people better?No wonder he got literally sliced and diced by a guy who had never used a sword before in his life. Obviously this dude was totally sheltered and never fought against anybody besides his own hapless students.
>>288881768>Exception?Doesn't the first chapter end with the narration calling it "Luffy's journey of destiny" or something
>>288881768One Piece peaked over 20 years ago
>>288881785I'm not sure about da choosen one but warm piss fags did use to take pride in luffy's devil fruit being so silly and conventionally weak
>>288888561He literally is considered an unparalleled genius the fact that he still fucks this shit up for himself is irrelevant. Also had the hack not been so addicted to hiatuses you know gon would've returned to his main character status long time ago otherwise there would be no point in asspulling aluka
>>288888993This, we all know Togashi is going to bring back that little shit Gon asspulling him being able to use nen again while Leorio still doesn't get to do jack shit.
>>288888561>>Loses most fights and has barely any powers>>Not even the protagonist anymoreMan, HxH must suck
>>288888561Factual
>>288888993The majority of the characters are considered unparalleled geniuses in the manga And most of them like chrollo come form dirt or hardworkThe peak of nen was just some guy who punched really hard for 40 years in a row
>>288888586No. He was going strong up until the Yonko saga. It was then when we can see weird changes. Especially after the Katakuri vs Luffy fight, it was as if something just snapped in him. Some form of neurosis, and I guarantee it has something to do with his daughter. Oda listens to his daughter alot, designed many characters out of her whim. You can say this is not even Oda, its just her daughter producing the script and Oda proofreading and editing it.
>>288888561Lmao that sucks
>>288881785>who said that?The majority of fans here for a long time
>>288888561Hunterchads stay whispering into your microphones.
>>288888456I kinda wish someone else would just write One Piece instead at this point. I don't give a fuck what generic royal trauma that random side princess #56 experienced. I don't want to watch Usopp get his ass casually kicked for two panels per arc and then have a 4-month flashback about another legend nobody had heard of until a dozen chapters ago. I don't care that Luffys fist is now EVEN bigger before he punches with MORE haki (despite being a reality warper now because lol hito hito no retcon). Can you imagine this shit in ten years when Oda is only putting out a chapter a month during the moon enel alienimu saga? >And then Zoden D Glorp, the strongest space pirate who fought for freedom for the peace aliens was betrayed by the intergalactic space government when their satellite internet project was actually just to zap everyone with haki lasers!? >Ok that's so awful those people gave me space rice and space meat so I'm gonna go kick the ass of this space hitler shisishibshi>Gomugomu no supernova blackhole fourth dimensional sixth gear mythical animal firearm pun! >Oooo fuck shishiahi we did it guys btw I'm hungry again shihsibishishishi I'm gonna bring space King of the pirates and get the Sum Piece!

>>288889081>some guy who punched really hard for 40 years in a rowYes because the manga is about hunters and there are like 800 of them in the world and this 12 years old boy went straight to top 100 in his first year of being a hunter>From dirtYeah geniuses. Also where the fuck did you get hardwork from?>some guyA genius at his peak who did something so absurdly retarded there was no way it could've worked for anyone elseWhat's your argument here anyway?
>>288888929>Luffy's journey of destinyAs in the destiny HE MAKES FOR HIMSELF, not some bs that was predetermined for him by someone else.
>>288881768The final boss is a demonic god from the Void Century, Luffy needed something more to explain him fighting Imu.
>>288884661pre Timeskip Luffy is from a long forgotten clan which its only surviving trait is a go getter attitude. Also Luffy is from a lineage of some somewhat strong individuals with unyielding morals making them natural leaders. Then he has a defensively decent devil fruit that allows him to fight in imaginitive ways and bounce back from failure.>post time skip GOD Plot armor powers imbued with the will of Christ
My biggest gripe with the Nika shit is that Oda could literally just explain it with paramecia awakening instead of some super special legendary god of sun fruitLet Joyboy just be an ancient dude who has achieved similar mastery over his fruit
>>288891274>>post time skip>GOD Plot armor powersFucking what? Are all the people complaining about this just shitposters? Nothing of this seems like a serious argument.Like >>288891311 somehow awakening or getting a new form that do everything that the Nika fruit does is fine, but the Nika fruit itself isn't.This makes no sense. Literally all the same thing happens.
>>288891351>but the Nika fruit itself isn't.Yes, a super special snowflake god fruit isn't fine. Normal dude mastering an underwhelming fruit would be far cooler.
>>288891373But Luffy had to literally spend years mastering this fruit, not everyone that eats it would even be able to achieve the god form.
>>288891395Doesn't matter. The fact it's a special snowflake fruit overrides everything.
>>288891418That makes no sense. We are show in the flashback that without training you can't even punch with this fruit.Its why I say that these opinions come off as more shitposts than actually honest opinions. Its a facet of "pretending to be retarded" that all shonen threads have on this board.
>>288891594>We are show in the flashback that without training you can't even punch with this fruit.So? Decuck was destroying his body with his power. Doesn't make the power any less of a special snowflake shit.
>>288891611Why special = badIn your view? Specially when the outcome is the same.
Gunko's design actually looks way stupider now that it's animated. Oda really fucked up on this one
>>288891636Because it turns someone who paved the way with his own strength into someone who comes to rely on an overpowered crutch. There's a difference in nuance your childish mind just cannot grasp.
>>288882301The one piece is the world itself no longer being divided by race/nations. It's a giant globo homo rug pull
>>288891662>paved the way with his own strengthBut even you admited that they had to train and be strong to dominate this power Give this fruit to some scrub and he is dying in a month.>There's a difference in nuance You are the one having a meltdown over a children's manga buddy, by semantic reasons.
>>288891702>Give this fruit to some scrub and he is dying in a month.The fact a scrub is using an Excalibur doesn't take away the fact he's using an Excalibur. You're literally too stupid to realize it.
Oh brother yet another spic mind broken by Rock Lee(who I like but his impact on Westerner's expectation is damaging beyond repair), to anyone who goes "durr Luffy was never meant to be special" literally never even read the manga pre-COVID lockdowns. Luffy was ALWAYS considered a special person and was ALWAYS tied to a greater destiny. Get over it.
>>288891721If the excalibur barely makes difference in making the scrub achieve anything (rather you need hard work and training to get the best of it and unlock its power), what is the point that it is excalibur?
>>288891740You literally cannot even read the full sentence on a page you're highlighting.
>>288891742The fact it's a scrub with excalibur takes away from the scrub achieving anything and puts it into excalibur, obviously. A scrub achieving everything with an ordinary sword makes him far more relatable and heroic.
I liked One Piece pre-Whole Cake
>>288881768Messiah
>>288891740Its hilarious isn’t it? OP has been talking about destiny since the start.Hell, Luffy spent all Wast Blue absolutely wrecking mostly fruitless scrubs, so its not like he is always the underdog either.Also Joyboy was defeated in the past with the same power, so its not like this ks an "i win" buttom.
>>288891311It's about what devil fruits actually are. Which was always going to be where the plot went.
>>288891594It doesn't matter what you say its just retards wanting to complain to complain, they'll call it "MUH SUPER OVERPOWERED CAN DO ANYTHING AND CAN NEVER LOSE FRUIT" one second and the next "GEAR 5 SECONDS HE CAN'T EVEN GET THROUGH A FIGHT BEING GASSED OUT OR BAILED OUT". Once anime became more "mainstream" during and after the lockdowns there was massive influx of bottom of the barrel retards giving rushing to give their retarded opinions.
>>288891751>The fact it's a scrub with excalibur takes away from the scrub achieving anything and puts it into excalibur, obviouslyBut you admited that without training the scrub is dying in a month.>A scrub achieving everything with an ordinary swordA scrub dy definition is not someone that knows how to use a sword.
>>288891771Indeed. Its a very brown/black opinion too.
>>288891758Yup but most of the retards crying about Luffy being special are just a bunch of mouth breathers who piled in after the lockdowns so I doubt they ever even actually read the manga and probably only watched pre time skip through youtube overviews or the dub.Also you're right in that a largely forgotten part of Luffy is just how easily he stomped early on, and didn't really have to struggle until he came up against his first true Logia fight (not counting Smoker who he also couldn't do anything against).Then you have Gear 5th who despite all the flashyness hasn't had a great track record either, with so far his only outright win with no struggle being against Lucci. Everything else was either a stalemate, no contest or down to the wire win, but the retards will claim "GEAR 5TH IS TOO OP LUFFY DOESN'T HAVE TO STRUGGLE ANYMORE"
>>288881785Literally everyone. It got damaged a bit by the D. shit, but OH MY MYTHICAL ZOAN put it into a particle accelerator.
>>288881785It's less that anybody said that and more that it was supposed to be One Piece was different from Bleach and Naruto that did that. Of course now, they'll say that was never the case and this was to be expected
>>288881768elevens just love this shit for some reason
>>288881768>Guts is the chosen one>Luffy is the chosen one>Nardo is the chosen oneWhat went so fucking wrong
>>288891826>>288891838How long has the D clan being a thing? How long has Luffy being related to the strongest guys in the world being a thing? How long it has talked about destiny? Isn't it more likely that you guys are just retarded and didn't read?
>>288891898It's death of a thousand cuts. At the time the D clan thing didn't mean anything special. It just meant 'this is an important character'. Like if everybody directly related to Luffy had the D, then that would be one thing but it was showing up on people unrelated to Luffy like Saul so people looked past it. Similarly since, at the time, there was no indication that genetics played a strong role in power levels, Luffy being related to Garp and Dragon (and the ho-hum nature of how that was revealed) felt strange at first but fans justified it as just because Luffy was related to these people did not mean that he himself was strong like how it was for Naruto and Ichigo. He did after all have to train with his shitty fruit (it's very important you remember the narrative around Gum-Gum fruit was that it was shitty so that's why Luffy was a good character)The Joy Boy/Nika/Sun God/Gum-Gum Fruit is actually super OP and dangerous is what pushed this over the edge. Especially with some of that only being revealed a few chapters before it became relevant. It doesn't help that Luffy got his newest power up in probably the most generic shounen way possible (dead but lol not really time for a power up) as opposed to his previous ones that you can at least pretend he worked on offscreen.
>>288891982>it's very important you remember the narrative around Gum-Gum fruit was that it was shitty so that's why Luffy was a good character)Thats retarded tho.At first Gum-gum was always strong and versatile, then later on was revealed that he needed training to be able to punch. Its an amazing fruit provided you put the work.The scene you are painting, is that those were extremelly retarded people.
>pirates and freedom>the fated one
>>288891982No sane person ever cared about Luffy "working hard"This character is literally introduced as a mysterious outsider who is so fucking strong every enemy until Crocodile spends the entire time avoiding fighting Luffy. And actually the only reason Crocoidile was a threat was because he could naturally avoid being hit by Luffy. Luffy has never been the underdog from the perspective of the audience, he's an underdog from the point of view of the villains and the universe because no one knew who he was.
>>288892054Yes retard, stories about freedom also tend to revolve around fate.
>>288892080>stories about freedom also tend to revolve around fateFATE THAT WE MAKE FOR OURSELVES.
>>288891898That is in fact the case, they're just a bunch of post COVID tagger ons.>>288891982>The Joy Boy/Nika/Sun God/Gum-Gum Fruit is actually super OP and dangerous is what pushed this over the edge. Lmao yeah dude meanwhile Luffy couldn't even put down Kizaru or the Gorosei, and next he will most certainly job to Imu. That being said I don't know what is the aversion to Luffy being stronger is. Additionally how are you supposed to "train" awakening, did we see Law and Kidd train their awakening? What about Doffy?>>288892054see>>288891740>>288892068>No sane person ever cared about Luffy "working hard"Its just the same set of spics who were mind broken by Rock Lee in Naruto. Its also a very western post lockdown OP reader mindset, since I truly doubt they ever even read what was published in the manga prior.
>>288881768You simply lack media literacy.
>>288892164I always assume anyone who uses the phrase "media literacy" in an argument is a retard. Never been wrong yet.
Also I find it very fucking funny that all the people who cry about "hard work" not mattering in One Piece just conveniently overlook Koby even though he's their philosophy taken to the extremes. He's everything the spics claim they'd want from an MC, came from nothing trained and became very strong very quickly through hard work but they hate on him.
>>288891740Are you stupid? This is obviously written from the perspective of a narrator telling the events that happened, thus making it past for him.
>>288892332>Are you stupid? This is obviously written from the perspective of a narrator telling the events that happened, thus making it past for him.Genuinely fucking retarded, it still means that Luffy was ALWAYS tied to a special destiny and was NEVER a normal person. Dipshit.
>>288881785Pissfags who liked to flex on the others from Big Three
ITT : no one has ever read One Piece
>>288892542Never heard of retrospect?If the story is already done from the narrators perspective then he was "destined" in so far as that it happened.How would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast this morning?
>>288885268>>288888940This
>>288888586The muh epic foreshadow meme really destroyed his story
>>288889084Wano had new editors andd Oda rushed WCI and wasted all those characters to focus on boring samurais instead. It never recovered after that
Ruffy needed a Godtier DF because the only way to reach Godtier is by eating Godtier DFsThat simple.
What the fuck can I even read to fill the void left by the garbage time skip? I already read all of Violence Jack.
Rape scholars were right.
>>288892630Guilty as charged.Luckily, reading is not needed for shitposting
>>288881768Luffy's portrayal of his "chosen one" status is significantly better and more nuanced than that of any contemporary characters in anime or manga. Depending on how Oda handles the ending, the major plot revelations and the Void Century flashback could place it among classics like Tolkien, Dune , and other "chosen one" literature prevalent in the West. Titles like Naruto and Bleach, for example, have suffered from poor execution of this trope. If you don't see this or understand it, it's either irreparable damage to your IQ or you haven't read One Piece thoroughly. Simple as that.
>>288881768One Piece seems like such a mess.
>>288881798That isn't how it works in real life, though.
>>288894636Only if you have shit taste.
I used to be concerned that G5 would break the story because Luffy is essentially invincible now but the opposite has happened: Luffy is jobbing more than ever.
One Piece peaked over 20 years ago
>>288881785It's just a headcanon by fans. They somehow still didn't think Luffy's the chosen one even after his whole lineage got revealed and STILL can't accept it even if the manga calls him the return of Joy Boy and that his heartbeat is the sounds of Liberation. It's like how Naruto fans misrepresented it as the "hard work beats talent" story, the same story rooted in eugenics. Just poor reading comprehension all around.
>>288896828It's even crazier because from the first chapter, One Piece never suggested it was a story about hard work.
>>288889154>repeating the same gag over and overjust like your hero
>>288893558So what was the point of this flashback? How is any of this useful in the present?
>>288881798>genetics>when MC's dad is a potential man and granddad is one of Roger's hundred equals
WHY DON'T THESE SHONEN AUTHORS UNDERSTAND THAT SHONEN IS ABOUT THE PROTAGONIST BEING A COMPLETELY NORMAL, UNTALENTED, AVERAGE NOBODY WITH NO SPECIAL BLOODLINE, NO DESTINY, NO UNIQUE POWERS, NO LEGENDARY TEACHERS, NO RARE ABILITIES, NO PROPHECY, NO DEMON SEALED INSIDE HIM, NO SECRET HERITAGE, NO GOD-LIKE POTENTIAL, NO NOTHING???WHY DO THEY KEEP MAKING THEIR MAIN CHARACTERS SPECIAL??? THAT'S LITERALLY NOT WHAT SHONEN IS!!!IF THE MC HAS A COOL POWER BECAUSE OF HIS GENETICS, FAMILY OR OUTSIDE INTERVENTION, ALL OF HIS TRAINING ARCS ARE COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS. I DON'T WANT TO SEE TALENT. I DON'T WANT TO SEE DESTINY. I DON'T WANT TO SEE PROPHECIES. I DON'T WANT TO SEE BLOODLINES. I DON'T WANT TO SEE INHERITED POWERS. I DON'T WANT TO SEE REINCARNATIONS. I WANT TO SEE A GUY WITH LITERALLY ZERO TALENT, ZERO SPECIAL POWERS, ZERO GOOD GENES, ZERO LUCK, ZERO DESTINY, ZERO POTENTIAL, ZERO ANYTHING BEAT THE STRONGEST BEING IN THE UNIVERSE BECAUSE HE DID MORE PUSH-UPS.THAT IS WHAT SHONEN HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT. EVERY OTHER SHONEN IS FAKE!
>>288881798Tell me about all those legendary lineages that always win the exact same sports competitions.
>>288897047Oda saw brook was the only strawhat without a flashback detailing his whole damn life since birth, and we can't have that.
>>288897047>So what was the point of this flashback?Its a set up for Gunkos flashback.
>>288881768This is doubly funny because Demon Slayer faked out that whole Chosen One thing not once but twice.>Woah, MC got the black blade, those are super rare and seem to lead to a mysterious misfortune!Yeah it's literally just how you hold the special meteor rock and the only reason they die is Muzan and Koku are bitter little shits who specifically hunted them down, it's not anymore unique than other blade colors and hundreds of people have had them. They're just not surviving number 1 and 2 in power for the entire current universe hunting them down.>Wait, Tanjiro is having flashbacks to the most powerful swordsman in all of history, and the demons see visions of that swordsman when he fights! Could he have a bloodline connected to the strongest lineage of all time?Nope. He's wholly unrelated. There is exactly one connection between him and Yorichi and that's the time when Yorichi wanted to bury his wife and felt really sad, so Tanjiro's ancestor gave him someone to talk to and comforted him when he was at his lowest. Being touched by their kindness, Yorichi taught them a sickass dance move that warmed them up because sun breathing does that. The most special part of Tanjiro's lineage is his ancestor was a nice guy and he lived pretty close to where Yorichi buried his wife, where Blue Spider Lily's grew.The only person who chose this guy in all the series is the guy who murdered his family because he was upset he couldn't find a fucking flower
>>288897751>just happen to be born in the family of a guy who knew the super secret dance Sorry, by retard-logic he is a chosen one
>>288897801Oh yeah, the super secret dance that nobody else knew.Well, okay, there were literally dozens of other swordsmen that knew them. But they all died so it's special now! Well, okay, more people learned it over hundreds of years because there was an easily accessible book that was regularly used that detailed all the better versions of the technique the Dance taught, but it's still special because nobody used it! Well, okay, nobody used it because the strongest demon and second strongest demon personally hunt you down if they find out you're using it, but it's still special because, uh... Someone burned the book that nobody else used even though it was an option literally months before the story began?Yeah they faked out that one too. Literally anyone could've picked it out of the library, they just didn't because why would they? Everyone who learns it gets murdered super fast. Rengoku's dad burned it being a petty shit and literally nobody noticed it was gone.
>>288897801Closer logic is>Just happen to be born near super special flower that lets him become a perfect Demon King that doesn't burn in the sun.Which was yet ANOTHER fake out because he only finds this out after the big bad is dead and all it amounts to is him going "That's stupid I wanna be a regular human instead being a demon sounds awful" because themes and such. Then he dies at 25 probably maybe we have no idea
>>288896548>Something something need more big haki CoCWe won't see Luffy v. Imu until this time next year at the earliest, we still need to get through the princess flashback first, and maybe there will be a summary chapter or two with some maps showing all the locations of the jobbers as Luffy pigs out like a tiny fat piece of goofy shit. My theory now is that the one piece is the chunk of flesh akainu punched out of Ace. Luffy will get the time time fruit, give it to Usopp, and he'll go back in time to save the one piece of Ace he needed to not be dead. Screencap this post my dad works at WSJ.
>>288898056>We won't see Luffy v. Imu until this time next year at the earliestWell, spoilers may have already proven you wrong on that one. Guess we'll have to see what happens next chapter.
>>288881768Luffy was treated as somebody who was special from the very beginning. He was never someone underdog who rose up against all odds.

Little men hate chosen narratives because they remind them they'll never be important.
>>288881768Anyone else hope wish failure on all the idiots from Japan who like One Piece? You like shit you deserve a miserable life. Same to Detective Never Ending Conan. And don't get me started on Saint Never Ending Seiya. So much shit that refuses to fucking die starring extremely annoying shitty characters. Japan needs to be conquered by Islam and exterminated especially Oda's shitty daughter.
>>288900867You know, you can choose not to watch any of that, don't you?
>>288900867Nope. Only on your salty bitch ass.
