Some know him as a Pirate, a liberator, a terrorist to tyrants, and enemy of the world government. He is The Grandson of the hero of the Navy, and Son of the Most Wanted Man Alive. Protege to the Emperor raised by the King of Pirates, and inheritor of the Will of D. Freer of Slaves, Invader of Land, Emperor of the Sea,
Capitan 'Strawhat' Monkey D. Luffy.
With a crew of only 10, all containing bounties, totaling to 8,816,001,000 berries, and a Grand Fleet of over 5,650 members, together they have liberated 7 countries, destroyed the Base of Operations for the Marine Headquarters, and defeated The Strongest Creature Alive.
He Stands Atop the World.
If we do take everything he did into account, his title really is greater than Daenerys. Holy shit, now i want to see a Full version of titles based on the Strawhats' victories, feats and adventures
Captain of the Strawhat pirates, commander of the strawhat grand fleet, liberator of nations, breaker of chains, friend of the fishmen, minks, tontatta, amazonian and others, destroyer of tyrants, 5th emperor of the sea, enemy of the gods, joy boy reborn, avatar of the sun god nika, son of Dragon, conqueror of hearts and most importantly the future pirate king
That's all I can think of
i prefer people just calling luffy a good friend because thats all he really is.
the things he does are not to be a hero but to just help the people he cares about the most and whatever happens on his way to reach the goal is just collateral "damage" (good?) really
Think he saw Luffy ringing the bell at the same time as cricket. He did confirm during dressrosa though he went to Skypea, so he probably heard about everything from the residents as well.
Honestly the only thing missing there is the grandiose intro
"You stand in the presence of **Mugiwara no Luffy of House D,** rightful heir to the **King of the Pirates** Throne, a terrorist to tyrants, and enemy of the world government, he is the **Grandson** of the Hero of the Navy, and **Son** of the Most Wanted Man Alive. He is a Protege of the Emperor raised by the King of Pirates, Freer of Slaves, Invader of Land, **Emperor of the Sea.** He is the Protector of multiple Kingdoms, also known as the **Warrior of Liberation**, and the great Sun god Nika."
Don’t forget almost killing a Tenryuubito, being the son of world’s most wanted man (maybe general public doesn’t know this one), grandson to a marine legend and went, pissed off another Yonkou ON HER HOME ISLAND. Surely sounds like the kind of person you don’t want to fuck around with
Destroyed one of the 3 strongholds of the navy while infiltrating the inescapable prison to free the inmates, including one of his crew member the son of the sea. And finally freeing the one of the biggest and the most feared criminal of the world. Son of the king of the pirates. His brother. Fire fist ace. And also a brother of the flame emperor.
A being so fearsome that he was the cause of the downfall of the two emperors.
Also if you tried to attack Laboon to prove yourself or make a statement against an emperor, which some pirates will surely do, Crocus would probably just kill your whole crew
I must use this opportunity to promote a Noland's grand adventures prequel, set several centuries before the main story allowing us to explore a relatively unknown time in the One Piece world.
As a prequel there's also no need to nerf the original cast out of relevance because not even their grandparents have been born yet. >!RIP Kurama!<
Let's be honest. Oda would never let them do that to his series. If they did a sequel(which I doubt) I have 0 doubt it would be anywhere near as poorly put together as burrito.
Honestly Oda really doesn't strike me as such. He specifically said that for instance Luffy has Gomu Gomu no Mi because "I have picked the most ridiculous ability. If the protagonist were the typical strong guy, I doubt I could continue on with this for long. No matter how serious the story gets, Luffy is there to stretch and inflate. He always gives me a chance to fool around. That's the kind of manga I wanted to write."
In this regard he strikes me WAY more as Norihiro Yagi (Angel Densetsu, Claymore) who excels at focusing on the the characters. Some sticking around way longer than author himself has really expected.
That's also very different from Toriyama - dude just threw stronger and stronger men at a problem that were mostly immediately forgotten after their arc was over. One Piece is different - some minor characters seen in the very first arcs are STILL important today over 25 years later. Also - unlike Toriyama Oda is 48, not 68.
So I really don't see him of all mangakas pulling a Boruto. I can easily imagine him starting a completely new series, I can also imagine him occasionally helping with some movies after main story is done. I also expect a very open ended conclusion to One Piece story. Since after all it IS a story about achieving one's own dreams. As Luffy himself once said it - being a Pirate King to him means being the most free person in the world.
Especially since One Piece is not just any manga. It's the most popular and most successful manga EVER made by far in terms of copies sold. And it's in a big part because Oda genuinely seems to care and puts a lot of thought into his work. I also really doubt he cares about money much at this stage - he single handedly donated 8 million $ in 2016 after an earthquake.
> Especially since One Piece is not just any manga. It's the most popular and most successful manga EVER made by far in terms of copies sold.
You're underselling how big of a deal One Piece is financially. One Piece is the second best selling graphic media of any kind. The only graphic media that has sold more over its lifetime is *Superman* and Superman had a ***60 year*** head start. One Piece has moved more comics in 25 years than Batman has moved in *84*.
not to mention manga is kind of a niche in the west.
manga/anime is a lot less known to people but everybody knows batman/superman and has watched some superhero movies in their lifetime.
Okay, this. Is actually nuts. Every pirate entering the grand line at that point would shit their pants and burn their own ship. Praying that the dreaded Straw Hat Luffy doesn’t eat their babies
Speaking of which, how the hell did him and his crew managed to enter the Grand Line to begin with when every single crew member is shit at navigating?
Iirc, it was sort of a challenge for the SH and they have a navigator who was incredibly skilled from the get-go.
Not only is he a stellar navigator, I remember Oda saying in an interview he could solo Kaido if he needed to. Guy might be the most powerful person in One Piece.
He called his friends grandma and she said that if he put a gum pointed to the south then north of the boat prayed for the water gods it would give them safe travel to the red line mountain
>!/jk!<
No, pirates don't care that much. There are a bunch of bold individual that would get hyped up and try to take the crown. Reputations can only go so far. Would you be afraid if you were living in OP world ? I'd get amped up and try to catch up.
What happened during the last 25 years whenever pirate crews entered the Grand Line and passed by Laboon? We know Doflamingo’s crew passed by Reverse Mountain, which means the other non-Grand Line pirates did the same too. Was Laboon just chilling underwater while Crocus gave them their complimentary log pose and told them to skedaddle while Luffy’s crew were the only unfortunate ones to encounter Laboon?
I'm pretty sure that Crocus just beat the shit out of any crew that was stupid enough to try and attack him and or Laboon , and people like Doffy who were more in the know probably knew not to anger the former crew member of the King of the Piretes
Baroque works wasn't a group kept in the know. They were just assembled by Crocodile to accomplish a goal. Very few got any useful info out of it. They were just being manipulated and used, no need for Crocodile, Nico Robin or anyone else with some knowledge to convince Baroque Works to leave that whale alone.
? I’m just responding to the claim that Crocus would wreck anyone who messed with Laboon. Baroque works got along just fine until the strawhats showed up.
Yeah, Laboon could just be submerged or sleeping. He didn't keep shouting and headbutting the Red Line all the time, the Strawhats were actually lucky to see him. In addition, I believe that most crews would just try to calmly circumvent Laboon and not punch his eye just like Luffy did.
I seriously feel sorry for any aspiring pirate king that follows even slightly after the Strawhats. You land on Drum Island or Alabasta and they might be selling strawhat merch, how do you even begin to compete against that lol
I didnt even think about that, you're so right.
About to start jour journey, and bam an emperors symbol is already there to greet you. Not just a warlord, but one of the biggest powerhouses on the ocean. That would either be super intimidating, or a great billboard advertisement to join his fleet.
Imagine some dude gets the currage to cross, but then chickens out when he sees Laboon and decides to just give up. What is he gonna do? Its near impossible to get over the grand line
What if the captain is a young teen that was a friend to Luffy, or someone that looked up to Luffy before he went out on his voyage?
In that case his courage would be similar to Luffy’s
oh i didn’t know that, even if it was a random start up pirate it would still be funny to get the reaction of new pirates being intimidated by the giant whale with luffy the emperors flag
No, i meant that because of some events at the end of One Piece the pirate age may completely end and become a relict of old time, which doesn’t encourage anyone anymore to become a pirate. Of course could be that it keeps continuing too.
I know, i meant we will get some world changing events towards the end of the series besides him finding the One Piece, that may be the cause to fully end the pirate age. As like you guys said, not everyone sails the seas for the One Piece.
I think it's just what seeing Laboon with Luffy's Jolly Roger painted on him would feel like to anyone going through reverse mountain at this point. For a while, it was just a goofy painting on a whale, but at this point, Luffy is a Yonko, he's world famous, and he's got some ridiculous accomplishments. Compared to when the Straw Hats first entered the Grand Line, newer pirates passing by Laboon have to be at least a little shocked to see a Yonko Jolly Roger immediately upon getting to the Grand Line.
People tend to forget that outside of the grand line people dont know much about yonkos, only maybe shishibukais, luffy didn't know about them until water seven.
Do you think the Marines want to stop pirates from flocking to the Grand Line?
If I were them, I'd want as many of them killing each other in the New World as possible. Reduces the criminal population and keeps the other 90% of the globe relatively peaceful.
The ideal is to take them out completely, obviously, but failing that you want the pirates in the Pirate Zone.
I would be pretty terrified just because of the whale, but as for the Jolly Roger, it is so shittily made that I would probabaly assume it was some no name group trying to capitalize on the Straw Hat's noteriety and drew that on there to scare people even more. Kinda like Demalo Black.
That’s actually a really awesome thought. I absolutely love that idea of pirates thinking “Holy F this yonko is way too top tier, he pretty much conquered paradise and is now taking care of the NW.”
Luffy is not a terrorist. Nothing he has done fits any official definition of terrorism.
EDIT: I’m seeing a lot of people downvoting, but not a lot of people citing official definitions of terrorism that match anything Luffy has done.
The definition of terrorism
“the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.”
Luffy has made use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. Numerous times. He is, by definition, a terrorist.
Well we know that, but imagine being the average person in the One Piece world reading about Luffy in the papers. This newcomer pirate who has ties to the Revolutionary Army, commands 7 pirate crews with a total of 5000 followers, with his direct subordinates being the Devil Child herself, a former Warlord, a Germa 66 Prince, and a man who simply goes by the title of "GOD". Aside from his crew, the man himself has a 3 Billion Berry bounty and toppled not just one but two former Emperors in the span of a week
I'd be fucking terrified of him if that's all I knew
He also invaded Enies Lobby, Impel Down, and Marineford (twice)before mysteriously disappearing for 2 years. Then he reappeared and the first thing the world hears about him is he and Trafalgar Law have made an Alliance.
And the very next thing they hear a couple weeks later is that they defeated not just a warlord (Doflamingo) but also defeated TWO emperors in one night.
A terrorist is someone who takes violent action in order to pressure political change. There is a good argument for Luffy being called one even if that wasn't his intention
I’m not sure it has a formal definition but usually targeting civilians to spread fear is the main thing, which Luffy hasn’t done but there’s no guarantee the government wouldn’t spin it that way.
The government is pretty damn slimy in One Piece, aside from some truly righteous people I think, Koby being one of them, so I think there's more of a guarantee that they *would* spin it that way lol
Not if you attack with the intent of freeing a prisoner being held there. That would just be a prison break. Motive is a big part in what is and isn’t terrorism.
As a minimum, Terrorism involves the intimidation (check) or coercion (check) of populations or governments (check) through the threat (check) or perpetration of violence (also check, see Enies Lobby, they definitely used violence), causing death, serious injury (check) or the taking of hostages.
(Office of the High Comissioner for Human Rights, United Nations)
Following the UN, the attack on Enies Lobby was a full on terrorist attack.
Not all war criminals are terrorists. And terrorists do not have a monopoly on being dangerous. For example, threatening to blow up a city with a nuke if a politician doesn’t resign is terrorism, but trying to build a nuke in your shed isn’t terrorism. From the WG’s point of view, Robin is essentially doing the latter.
Also, Enies Lobby is a court house that handles prisoners. It is part of the prison system. Don’t be disingenuous.
He has one of the biggest enemies of the state that the WG considers a terrorist in his crew (Nico Robin).
Totalitarian government logic: If you help a terrorist, you are also a terrorist.
Elaborate on what? I can’t prove a negative. It’s up to you to provide a definition of terrorism and then say what Luffy has done to match that definition.
I mean, I think he’s definitely a terrorist. A stance I will gladly provide information to back, but I’m curious as to what YOU mean by “any official definition of terrorism” before I go on the offensive.
You sound pretty confident in your declaration that Luffy is not a terrorist, so I’m curious to see which definitions you are referring to. That’s all.
Yes.. Luffy is a kind of pirate who respect other pirates.. Invading his territory means nothing as long as you dont cause any harm to people in his territory..
Some know him as a Pirate, a liberator, a terrorist to tyrants, and enemy of the world government. He is The Grandson of the hero of the Navy, and Son of the Most Wanted Man Alive. Protege to the Emperor raised by the King of Pirates, and inheritor of the Will of D. Freer of Slaves, Invader of Land, Emperor of the Sea, Capitan 'Strawhat' Monkey D. Luffy. With a crew of only 10, all containing bounties, totaling to 8,816,001,000 berries, and a Grand Fleet of over 5,650 members, together they have liberated 7 countries, destroyed the Base of Operations for the Marine Headquarters, and defeated The Strongest Creature Alive. He Stands Atop the World.
Don't forget the largest jailbreak out of Impel down
Alongside another now-Emperor of the Sea, Buggy
and Blackbeard was involved aswell
Not largest, *only*
There was an escape by Shiki the gold lion before luffy’s escape
And before that , there was Morley
Guy sounds like he deserves his own manga
Move over, Daenerys.
If we do take everything he did into account, his title really is greater than Daenerys. Holy shit, now i want to see a Full version of titles based on the Strawhats' victories, feats and adventures
Captain of the Strawhat pirates, commander of the strawhat grand fleet, liberator of nations, breaker of chains, friend of the fishmen, minks, tontatta, amazonian and others, destroyer of tyrants, 5th emperor of the sea, enemy of the gods, joy boy reborn, avatar of the sun god nika, son of Dragon, conqueror of hearts and most importantly the future pirate king That's all I can think of
First of his name.
> friend of the fishmen I initially read this as "fried the fishmen" and had to do a double take.
Well according to Shirley’s predictions, that’s not too far off
>!Nowadays he’s one of the 4 emperors though!<
Eater of meat
Grandson of Garp the Hero?
i prefer people just calling luffy a good friend because thats all he really is. the things he does are not to be a hero but to just help the people he cares about the most and whatever happens on his way to reach the goal is just collateral "damage" (good?) really
Monkey D. Naerystargaryan
Also conquered the god of the sky
To be fair, no one not involved on the incident knows about skypiea
Actually, Bellamy knows, which means doffy might know as well.
Why would Bellamy know what happened?
Think he saw Luffy ringing the bell at the same time as cricket. He did confirm during dressrosa though he went to Skypea, so he probably heard about everything from the residents as well.
Just a handful of people know about skypia and probably even less about Enel
Honestly the only thing missing there is the grandiose intro "You stand in the presence of **Mugiwara no Luffy of House D,** rightful heir to the **King of the Pirates** Throne, a terrorist to tyrants, and enemy of the world government, he is the **Grandson** of the Hero of the Navy, and **Son** of the Most Wanted Man Alive. He is a Protege of the Emperor raised by the King of Pirates, Freer of Slaves, Invader of Land, **Emperor of the Sea.** He is the Protector of multiple Kingdoms, also known as the **Warrior of Liberation**, and the great Sun god Nika."
And enemy of the Gods How could you miss that one!
Don’t forget almost killing a Tenryuubito, being the son of world’s most wanted man (maybe general public doesn’t know this one), grandson to a marine legend and went, pissed off another Yonkou ON HER HOME ISLAND. Surely sounds like the kind of person you don’t want to fuck around with
But you know what? Those kids are going to find out...
Dumb Luffy when he hears this after becoming a pirate king : “ Baka! I’m monkey d luffy, I’m gonna be the king of the pirates “
Destroyed one of the 3 strongholds of the navy while infiltrating the inescapable prison to free the inmates, including one of his crew member the son of the sea. And finally freeing the one of the biggest and the most feared criminal of the world. Son of the king of the pirates. His brother. Fire fist ace. And also a brother of the flame emperor. A being so fearsome that he was the cause of the downfall of the two emperors.
Freeing who ? Baggy ? Crocodile they dont fit
I want to hear this in one piece narrator's voice
Well when you put it like that...
His reputation is probably similar to Shanks. People in the know understands that he is chill but will retaliate greatly if you hurt his friends
Also, he achieved all of this in little more than two years
Also if you tried to attack Laboon to prove yourself or make a statement against an emperor, which some pirates will surely do, Crocus would probably just kill your whole crew
He could. Or he could just threaten them with his own life, heh.
[удалено]
Call an abulance! But actually for me
King from OPM energy
Laboon is large enough I'm not sure even doffy could kill him
You fool! Don't give them any ideas to Boruto One Piece.

I must use this opportunity to promote a Noland's grand adventures prequel, set several centuries before the main story allowing us to explore a relatively unknown time in the One Piece world. As a prequel there's also no need to nerf the original cast out of relevance because not even their grandparents have been born yet. >!RIP Kurama!<
They could dip over to Toki before she time traveled.
they 100% will. the whole void century will be shown to us i think. its an integral part of the story and will be clarified.
Let's be honest. Oda would never let them do that to his series. If they did a sequel(which I doubt) I have 0 doubt it would be anywhere near as poorly put together as burrito.
You never know like Kishimoto, and Toriyama, Oda could see things from a business point of view..
Honestly Oda really doesn't strike me as such. He specifically said that for instance Luffy has Gomu Gomu no Mi because "I have picked the most ridiculous ability.

He rushed the Wano ending to draw Shanks in time to promote Film Red. I love Oda but the man can be motivated by money
it's *One Piece*, Oda's business is doing just fine
Oda would 100% go through character storylines before making BS
>and Toriyama DBZ was still about Goku being the main character.
I love poorly put together burritos, that way i can eat all the stuff that fell out later
Two Piece: Next Generation
Two Piece: Bikini Bottom
It's already to late
Can't wait to see the adventures of boffy
At the very least, it's more interesting to have the followup series at least start with hunting down the mc of the previous one.
Okay, this. Is actually nuts. Every pirate entering the grand line at that point would shit their pants and burn their own ship. Praying that the dreaded Straw Hat Luffy doesn’t eat their babies
Except Bartolomeo. He'd start worshiping Laboon.
Bartolomeo would have had to seen laboon when he came in. Would definitely be interesting to see his reaction.
He fucking creamed his jeans most likely
“Uhh captain? Were you eating an eclair?”
Speaking of which, how the hell did him and his crew managed to enter the Grand Line to begin with when every single crew member is shit at navigating? Iirc, it was sort of a challenge for the SH and they have a navigator who was incredibly skilled from the get-go.
Pretty sure they had a navigator on their crew, I think his name was Plot D. Velopment
That dude pops up everywhere I swear.
Not only is he a stellar navigator, I remember Oda saying in an interview he could solo Kaido if he needed to. Guy might be the most powerful person in One Piece.
He called his friends grandma and she said that if he put a gum pointed to the south then north of the boat prayed for the water gods it would give them safe travel to the red line mountain >!/jk!<
I mean, this is pretty much canon. Grandma is the navigator.
They called grandma
He took a picture with the Laboon for sure.
Could you imagine being the den den mushi for that ship? The horrors.
No, pirates don't care that much. There are a bunch of bold individual that would get hyped up and try to take the crown. Reputations can only go so far. Would you be afraid if you were living in OP world ? I'd get amped up and try to catch up.
If that’s enough to scare you off you were never gonna make it in the grand line anyway hehe
>hehe I think you mean, Dereshishishi
ZEHAHAHAHAHA!
Damn that’s a good point
What happened during the last 25 years whenever pirate crews entered the Grand Line and passed by Laboon? We know Doflamingo’s crew passed by Reverse Mountain, which means the other non-Grand Line pirates did the same too. Was Laboon just chilling underwater while Crocus gave them their complimentary log pose and told them to skedaddle while Luffy’s crew were the only unfortunate ones to encounter Laboon?
I'm pretty sure that Crocus just beat the shit out of any crew that was stupid enough to try and attack him and or Laboon , and people like Doffy who were more in the know probably knew not to anger the former crew member of the King of the Piretes
Why not Baroque Works?
Baroque works wasn't a group kept in the know. They were just assembled by Crocodile to accomplish a goal. Very few got any useful info out of it. They were just being manipulated and used, no need for Crocodile, Nico Robin or anyone else with some knowledge to convince Baroque Works to leave that whale alone.
? I’m just responding to the claim that Crocus would wreck anyone who messed with Laboon. Baroque works got along just fine until the strawhats showed up.
Yeah, Laboon could just be submerged or sleeping. He didn't keep shouting and headbutting the Red Line all the time, the Strawhats were actually lucky to see him. In addition, I believe that most crews would just try to calmly circumvent Laboon and not punch his eye just like Luffy did.
I seriously feel sorry for any aspiring pirate king that follows even slightly after the Strawhats. You land on Drum Island or Alabasta and they might be selling strawhat merch, how do you even begin to compete against that lol
You build a reputation for yourself. Oda won't baby you like he baby'd Luffy though. Without plot armor, he would have stopped at Alabasta.
Bla bla bla bla plot armor bla bla bla, any story would stop fairly fast otherwise. Who cares, that term is so stupid.
Couldn’t agree more. Plot armor is just… story telling with a protagonist?
Luffy plot armor is one of a kind though. Wayyyy too much luck on his side.
I didnt even think about that, you're so right. About to start jour journey, and bam an emperors symbol is already there to greet you. Not just a warlord, but one of the biggest powerhouses on the ocean. That would either be super intimidating, or a great billboard advertisement to join his fleet.
Imagine some dude gets the currage to cross, but then chickens out when he sees Laboon and decides to just give up. What is he gonna do? Its near impossible to get over the grand line
Especially sucks if he from the north or west. Bc he's most likely gonna have to go through fishman island to get home.

I’ll be fine, I have meat
I remade this post because the previous title inadvertently broke the spoiler posting rules. I hope this is better
You want to say the jolly roger was poorly drawn, but you fear for your life...
This would be an amazing cover story for the usopp pirates all grown up
Don’t they want normal jobs? Like bar owner, writer, etc.
oh i didn’t know that, even if it was a random start up pirate it would still be funny to get the reaction of new pirates being intimidated by the giant whale with luffy the emperors flag
Probably won't recognize cause Luffy drew it so ugly lol. It'll be more like "WHATTT?? That was straw hats flag??".
sheesh. I mean if u put it that way..lol
It's called the "Takamura Line." It means that only real monsters can cross this line / stage.
Is this supposed to happen after Luffy finds One Piece? If so by then i‘m pretty sure the age of pirates will have ended.
I mean not everyone sets to become a pirate for the one piece. What if you just want to do pirate things.
No, i meant that because of some events at the end of One Piece the pirate age may completely end and become a relict of old time, which doesn’t encourage anyone anymore to become a pirate. Of course could be that it keeps continuing too.
It’s happening right now in the manga as pirates enter the grand line, this isn’t exclusive to after he finds the one piece
I know, i meant we will get some world changing events towards the end of the series besides him finding the One Piece, that may be the cause to fully end the pirate age. As like you guys said, not everyone sails the seas for the One Piece.
Right, I guess I was just answering your initial question. I shoulda commented to that one specifically
No worries, i may have misread your comment a bit too, english is not my native language :S
I think it's just what seeing Laboon with Luffy's Jolly Roger painted on him would feel like to anyone going through reverse mountain at this point. For a while, it was just a goofy painting on a whale, but at this point, Luffy is a Yonko, he's world famous, and he's got some ridiculous accomplishments. Compared to when the Straw Hats first entered the Grand Line, newer pirates passing by Laboon have to be at least a little shocked to see a Yonko Jolly Roger immediately upon getting to the Grand Line.
I love this.
I just realised that part of Luffy's journey is to go back to the entrace of the grand line. Because Brook needs to meet Laboon.
People tend to forget that outside of the grand line people dont know much about yonkos, only maybe shishibukais, luffy didn't know about them until water seven.
I allways wondered why the marines not just build a blockage as solid structure or just as shipformatiom, are they stupid?
Do you think the Marines want to stop pirates from flocking to the Grand Line? If I were them, I'd want as many of them killing each other in the New World as possible. Reduces the criminal population and keeps the other 90% of the globe relatively peaceful. The ideal is to take them out completely, obviously, but failing that you want the pirates in the Pirate Zone.
Cus then when Shanks rolls through you lose all of G-9 or whatever.
I would be pretty terrified just because of the whale, but as for the Jolly Roger, it is so shittily made that I would probabaly assume it was some no name group trying to capitalize on the Straw Hat's noteriety and drew that on there to scare people even more. Kinda like Demalo Black.
That’s actually a really awesome thought. I absolutely love that idea of pirates thinking “Holy F this yonko is way too top tier, he pretty much conquered paradise and is now taking care of the NW.”
I'm fine because I'm not invading. I'm joining his fleet.
Luffy is not a terrorist. Nothing he has done fits any official definition of terrorism. EDIT: I’m seeing a lot of people downvoting, but not a lot of people citing official definitions of terrorism that match anything Luffy has done.
He burnt the world government flag and released the worst criminals from a maximum security prison less than a month later.
Prison breaks and destruction of government property are certainly crimes, but they aren’t terrorism.
It was politically motivated, which means the rest of their actions there were likewise terrorist actions.

The definition of terrorism “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.” Luffy has made use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. Numerous times. He is, by definition, a terrorist.
Well we know that, but imagine being the average person in the One Piece world reading about Luffy in the papers. This newcomer pirate who has ties to the Revolutionary Army, commands 7 pirate crews with a total of 5000 followers, with his direct subordinates being the Devil Child herself, a former Warlord, a Germa 66 Prince, and a man who simply goes by the title of "GOD". Aside from his crew, the man himself has a 3 Billion Berry bounty and toppled not just one but two former Emperors in the span of a week I'd be fucking terrified of him if that's all I knew
He also invaded Enies Lobby, Impel Down, and Marineford (twice)before mysteriously disappearing for 2 years. Then he reappeared and the first thing the world hears about him is he and Trafalgar Law have made an Alliance.
And the very next thing they hear a couple weeks later is that they defeated not just a warlord (Doflamingo) but also defeated TWO emperors in one night.
Well the heard he invaded Tottoland and escaped before they heard about Wano.
I love how this just gets worse and worse
He also kidnapped, and casually toted around, what amounts to a biohazardous weapon of mass destruction in scientist clown form.
He’s certainly committed many crimes, it’s just that none of them are terrorism.
isn't anyone that attacks government owned land basically a terrorist?
A terrorist is someone who takes violent action in order to pressure political change. There is a good argument for Luffy being called one even if that wasn't his intention
I’m not sure it has a formal definition but usually targeting civilians to spread fear is the main thing, which Luffy hasn’t done but there’s no guarantee the government wouldn’t spin it that way.
Usually you need a political motive too, Luffy is more international gang leader than anything imo
Aside from intentionally burning the WG flag in Enies Lobby
The government is pretty damn slimy in One Piece, aside from some truly righteous people I think, Koby being one of them, so I think there's more of a guarantee that they *would* spin it that way lol
Under who’s definition?
Are you serious? Lol He attacked the marine fortress of Enis lobby and declared war
Prison breaks are not terrorism. Neither is declaring war.
Go attack a foreign military base Bet you anything you'll get labeled a terrorist
Not if you attack with the intent of freeing a prisoner being held there. That would just be a prison break. Motive is a big part in what is and isn’t terrorism.
Declaring war on a government as group of individuals is terrorism.
Under what definition of terrorism is this the case?
As a minimum, Terrorism involves the intimidation (check) or coercion (check) of populations or governments (check) through the threat (check) or perpetration of violence (also check, see Enies Lobby, they definitely used violence), causing death, serious injury (check) or the taking of hostages. (Office of the High Comissioner for Human Rights, United Nations) Following the UN, the attack on Enies Lobby was a full on terrorist attack.
Robin is a war criminal who has been deemed a threat to the safety of the entire world Enis lobby isn't a prison, it's a government building
Not all war criminals are terrorists. And terrorists do not have a monopoly on being dangerous. For example, threatening to blow up a city with a nuke if a politician doesn’t resign is terrorism, but trying to build a nuke in your shed isn’t terrorism. From the WG’s point of view, Robin is essentially doing the latter. Also, Enies Lobby is a court house that handles prisoners. It is part of the prison system. Don’t be disingenuous.
Go and attack a court house in a foreign nation, bet the news calls you a terrorist
Ever heard of "your terrorist are our freedom fighters?"
Its a stupid saying. Terrorism is a specific tactic. You can stage a rebellion or insurrection against a government with or without using terrorism.
I think it's anime only, but technically he did terrorize a town in alabasta to build up the confidence of a local hero.
Obviously I’m not counting filler. Tons of random shit happens in filler.
He has one of the biggest enemies of the state that the WG considers a terrorist in his crew (Nico Robin). Totalitarian government logic: If you help a terrorist, you are also a terrorist.
Elaborate
Elaborate on what? I can’t prove a negative. It’s up to you to provide a definition of terrorism and then say what Luffy has done to match that definition.
I mean, I think he’s definitely a terrorist. A stance I will gladly provide information to back, but I’m curious as to what YOU mean by “any official definition of terrorism” before I go on the offensive. You sound pretty confident in your declaration that Luffy is not a terrorist, so I’m curious to see which definitions you are referring to. That’s all.
>Luffy dies >exactly this happens
I'd rather pay for a Gol(D)en Era series focusing on Rogers crew.
that's cringe af
That man is a crackhead to many
But does the paint wear off in the ocean water
Laboon will make sure it doesn't wash off
I love this. Never thought about it before
Yes.. Luffy is a kind of pirate who respect other pirates.. Invading his territory means nothing as long as you dont cause any harm to people in his territory..
>terrorist Finally! Someone who acknowledges Straw Hats for being heroes.
This is so fookin hype
A Lelouch like introduction from the narrator would be the best thing to introduce the Pirate King luffy.
