A recent discussion about the fate of the Straw Hat crew has ignited a fiery debate among fans. If Monkey D. Luffy were to die, would his crew disband? And, more importantly, who would emerge as the strongest pirate to achieve their personal dreams?
In the realm of anime and manga fandom, the dynamics of crew relationships play a crucial role. One prevailing thought is that Sanji, Nami, and Robin might form their own group. They could potentially navigate the seas without engaging in the dangerous business of battling formidable Yonko crews.
Comments reveal differing opinions on the future of the Straw Hats:
"Sanji would be the captain."
"Zoro might leave to seek a faster way to become the World's Strongest Swordsman."
"Usopp can't really achieve bravery without more combat."
Some believe many would not continue as pirates, citing their non-combat-based dreams, such as Nami's quest for navigation and Sanji's pursuit of All Blue. According to one comment, โIf Sanji and Nami stayed together, I think they could achieve their dreams.โ However, the crewโs strength would be questioned without Luffy's influence.
The potential disbanding raises questions about various crew members:
Zoro might starve or spend additional time training elsewhere, affecting his speed in achieving his goals.
Brook could leave to find Laboon, while Jinbei may struggle to fight against racism without Luffy at the helm.
Interestingly, some fans speculate that Robin may abandon her journey regarding the Void Century without Luffy's encouragement.
"Curly Hat Pirates are a canon thing."
The speculation about captaincy remains a hot topic. While Sanji is a popular choice, many have expressed how effective they could be without engaging in fighting.
โ Three dynamics: Potential straw hats: Sanji, Nami, and Robin might stay together.
๐ Leadership: Speculation on Sanji as captain.
โ Dream reaching: Many may not pursue pirate life due to personal goals.
The debate over whether the Straw Hats could thrive without Luffy continues to stir interest within the fandom. Will the remaining members find new paths, or will they falter without their captain? As the story unfolds, fans eagerly await potential developments in both the anime and the discussions in forums.
