Luffy Analysis

This post is analyzing one specific aspect of Luffy. One connection that I feel like gets overlooked.

The meme is "Luffy arrives on an island, some kid gives him food, and he'll overthrow the local dictator". And that does happen. But WHY does it happen? Is Luffy just a benevolent hero-type? No.

This is an iconic line for a reason, it's important for demonstrating Luffy's character. He wants to throw parties, not do charity.

In fact, he rejects the idea of being a hero every chance he gets. After Wano, he chose to not take the credit for beating Kaido and let the populace think some random wandering hero named Joyboy did it.

But there's another part of this line that frequently gets overlooked, and that's what I'm focusing on here. The bit where Luffy says "I love heroes". He doesn't hate heroes, he loves them, Luffy looks up to heroes. He thinks they're cool, he just doesn't want to be one. But he still loves them.

Now, how does he characterize a hero? Someone who gives away food to other people.

That's why he fights so hard to save and liberate people after they give him food. It's not that he's being a hero for them, it's that he's REPAYING them because, by giving away food, they've shown themselves to BE HEROES, and Luffy loves heroes.

Anyone who gives Luffy food instantly becomes a HERO in Luffy's mind, even if they're just a poor little hat-maker girl like Tama.

Once the dead man is revived, we can ask him five questions, at which point he will die again, never to be re-revived.

Apparently people are going crazy with theories over Queen's updated Vivre Card, and while those, as I've complained before, tend to be extremely untrustworthy and full of retcons and decanonized errors, IF it is to be trusted there's so much funny shit to unpack here. I don't even know where to begin. Like.

-The information that MADS was formed 39-40 years ago. The idea that those three stooges (since the other two known members are like, 1-2 decades older) were actual minors when they started building literal chemical weapons of war (16-17 years old) is fucking wild. Lu Feld out there creating new exciting ways to do child labor. Loosing my mind. But it's OK because these are the world's Most Evil Teenagers and they yearn for the unethical science mines.

-It also, apparently lasted for 10 years. Those guys were working together for a decade. Which honestly makes a lot of interactions they have with and about each other both make more sense and way funnier. I guess Vegapunk feeling the need to keep Caesar around even during the Punk Hazard days, despite the fact that he's. well. himself, makes more sense considering he had already worked with the guy for a decade. That will numb you to a lot of red flags lmao. It also makes the Neo MADS cover story of Judge initially not recognizing Caesar, absolutely hysterical. Who the fuck are you (directed at a guy he worked with for ten whole years).

-Yeah let's get it out of the way, if this vivre card information is canon, Mr. The Plague has a son he's abandoned. People are going wild trying to figure out who it is and everyone's either banking on Weevil (which feels like, he's more likely to be just a failed clone of Newgate, so I'm not sure if it's him? Still could work I guess.) and. let's get it out of the way. Franky. And unfortunately for everyone, not only does the timeline line-up perfectly, like, too perfectly (his son is stated to be 36 years old and abandoned at the age of 10, when Queen was already with the Beast Pirates). Franky is 36, abandoned at the age of 10, and stated his parents were pirates. But also, Franky never saw Queen in his human form (only in his dino form) back at Onigashima so like. so he couldn't have made any comments about him. I have no idea if it's true. But like, can you fucking imagine. Can you imagine. Not one. Two. Two Strawhats that were abandoned by their MADS fathers. That's so funny. And tragic. Can anyone in this organization be normal about children for ONCE I am begging you. I'm including Vegapunk in this; what the fuck is going on with the Seraphim. Heartbreaking: the last five people on the planet that should ever be having any kids keep having and/or picking up kids. Anyway yeah, this could easily be a bait and switch but the fact this is a possibility is haunting me. I don't know if I believe it, but I kind of want to.

-Oh yeah, his real name is Scien. You know. like Science. Apparently. Which is very stupid but also kinda fun. Honestly if it was romanized as something like "Psien" or "Saien" or "Psion" or "Scion" or "Cyan" it'd probably feel less goofy.

That's it that's all the new info. It is completely useless but mildly entertaining to me in extremely funny ways. Have fun and do what you will with it.

my current top 3 favs in one piece and me forcing them to interact bc that's super unlikely to happen in canon right now

[cookiesandthedead]

I mean—it's them, right?

[cookiesandthedead]

romance dawn trio as wealth (nami), fame (luffy), power (zoro) is something that always lives so sweetly in my mind. them acquiring everything the world has to offer together. they're perfect

based on USJ preshow that japanese fans posted photos from

(there was a moment when sanji was giving nami a hand like that and she jovially walked past him and then luffy walked up and grabbed his outstretched hand instead - very funny

and the other moment was law leading bepo down the same stairs by the hand!!!)

i wont repost photos they arent mine but you can find them under #usjファン on twit

adding screencaps with posts because they are getting hard to find
