>and I know Shanks since I was 5
That was shown in fucking chapter 1
Christian Morgan
OPbros... we got too cocky...
Mason Fisher
At least OP never tried to steal from JoJo.
Noah Lopez
He is still just a kid with a dream..
Daniel Clark
When did they reveal he knew shanks? I think i missed a chapter

episode 1
>I'm just a kid with a dream
later on
>Son of one of the top 5 nen users in the world, able to become as strong as the most powerful antagonist just by being emo about a fake death of a one-dimensional side character, could survive inhumanly destructive attacks throughout the story even though he's supposedly just some kid
Based Black Cloverchads BTFOing hiatus x hiatussers
Kayden Nelson
He didn't know any of that until later in the manga. He knew Shanks but he didn't know how big of a pirate he was. I don't know if he knew Garp was a marine or not. If he did he may not have known to what extent. He never met or knew anything about his dad.
Josiah Gutierrez
One Piece bros, how are we this pathetic?
Oliver Martin
the black bulls just keep on winning
Wyatt Ward
Based Clover chads!
Jeremiah King
Im pretty sure garp told him to be a marine in one of the flashbacks. I think luffy always knew
Ayden Powell
Well Garp kept saying "I'm gonna make you a marine" so Luffy knew. He probably didn't know how important he was.
He didn't know how big Shanks was, he didn't know Ace joined Whitebeard until they reunited, and he didn't even know who his dad was, only seeing what he looked like in a newspaper.
This is a lame thread.
Justin Hall
Luffy was extraordinary from Chapter 2, One Piece has never really gone for the "I'm just an average kid" angle that Naruto and My Hero tried to pull. He's analogous to Goku more than any other Jump character.
His Straw Hat being a symbol passed down through the ages with an identical giant magical Straw Hat being locked away by the King of the World Government in its capital is fucking retarded though. Oda should have left that idea on the drawing board.
Angel Ward
cloverchads..... I KNEEL

>Took the time to make this edit
WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Carter Morales
Yeah, and all this prophecy stuff in the roger flashback is giving me the wrong vibes. I hope oda does not contradict luffy's search for freedom with some 800 year old predestination shit
Noah Price
Hunterbros... I'm tired of this
I'm tired of no chapters
I'm tired of being constantly laughed at
I'm tired of being surpassed by sales
I'm tired of making generals discussing empty innate stuff
Let's take a knee together.
Jacob King
Gonbros......not like this...
Juan King
Gar the Fist's an admiral?
Isaac Perez
I don't think he'll go with literal destiny. The "prophecy" just seems to be anticipating the next rebirth of Poseidon to be the point the world goes to shit, which would tie it to Shirahoshi rather than Luffy.
And I still believe that Blackbeards role in the finale will be one of another possible successor, taking after Xebec rather than Roger. The final battle won't be the destruction of the World Government, it'll be the two potential Pirate Kings who carry the Ancient Kingdoms will fighting to decide who'll lead the new era.
Isaac Stewart
>Oda should have left that idea on the drawing board.
Nah it's extremely based. Greatest moment in One Piece.
Predestination and freedom don't contradict, user.
Evan Howard
Vice-Admiral. He refuses to become an admiral as it would mean becoming a bootlicker for the Celestial Dragons.
His fame as the "Hero of the Navy" comes from the God Valley incident and the WG giving him credit for capturing Gold Roger (which is propaganda as Roger turned himself in)
Josiah Kelly
>His Straw Hat being a symbol passed down through the ages with an identical giant magical Straw Hat being locked away by the King of the World Government in its capital
I haven't been keeping up with one piece, what the hell is going on. I thought it was just a hat that shanks gave luffy as a memento.
Jordan Gomez
Shit, HxHfags getting Black Bull'd.
Kevin Campbell
Chapter 906 revealed that Marijoa's great secret treasure (mentioned by Doflamingo during the Dressrosa arc) is a giant straw hat kept in a frozen vault. We don't know the significance of it or what it means yet.
Jose Ramirez
Its pretty easy to miss honestly. I only caught it on my fifth read!
Jordan Sullivan
It was originally Roger's hat passed onto Shanks, and what said
Jose King
It's a shitty shonen for kids what did you expect? He will turn into prophecy child demi-god by the end of the series just like Naruto and Ichigo
Hudson Richardson
that's fucking stupid.
Isaac Johnson
Based smug OP reader taking a dump on its haters intelligence
Logan Murphy
Hiatusbros...
Zachary White
The treasure changes form indicating who you should eliminate, thats why the king was looking at bounty posters for reference. The treasure probably indicateed Teach, Vivi and Shirahoshi too.
Kevin Martin
This is what I'm hoping it is but until we actually see more of it it's just a theory.
Easton Sullivan
He was never portrayed as average, what are you talking about
Liam Gray
From chapter 1 it's established that he knows Shanks and his Devil Fruit and strength establishes him as being different from a typical person
Jayden Turner
>based Black Bulls winning yet again
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
Jaxon Lopez
wan piss is shit more news at 11
Jayden Richardson
Think of it less as a memento and more as a mantle. It signifies the passing of will as much as anything. The theory that the locked Straw Hat is an independent magical object that takes the shape of the biggest threat to its user is cute but I'm willing to bet it's its own legitimate artifact.
