What exactly was the fucking point of Luffy letting Bellamy and his crew wail on him?
>hurr durr he ain’t worth it, but actually he is later on when he beats up and robs my friend which I could have prevented by mogging those punks in the first place
What exactly was the fucking point of Luffy letting Bellamy and his crew wail on him?
Charles Wood
Jaxon Morgan
...
Connor Morgan
The fact that Bellamy gave up on the idea of dreams made him pathetic in Luffy's eyes and not worth punching.
Jackson White
Fuck generals nigga
Dylan Nguyen
Think of it like this.
You're climbing a mountain, you see a few ants blocking your path. Do you spend your time stomping all those worthless ants? You don't. You go over them and continue your journey.
Leo Robinson
but then he punch him anyway
Bentley Ramirez
I certainly don’t just stand there and let the ants bite me if that’s what you’re asking
Julian Turner
cuz he hurt his friends and stole the gold so it got personal
Mason Williams
Fuck trash threads
Jackson Morales
Yeah for messing with his friends gold. Again Luffy puts dream over anything and those who do not believe in them are not worthy of beating because they are already losers.
Joshua Garcia
Because he's not a fucking child who's ego gets hurt when someone says something rude or looks at him wrong.
Luke Ortiz
note how it parallel's shank's drama
Justin Moore
There’s a difference between refusing to fight somebody (i.e. dodging/blocking punches or running away) and letting them kick the crap out of you and your first mate.
Leo Bailey
yeah, but he is rubber man
Levi Jenkins
Shanks was a retard too. The unintentional lesson in both stories is that you should just beat up unruly punks on the spot lest they fuck with your friends later on.
Christian White
It was just forced moral superiority to make Luffy look even cooler when he inevitably kicks his ass. Don't expect actual writing or good characterization when reading One Piece. You read hxh for those things.
Jonathan Morgan
Nathaniel Moore
>protecting your honor after escalation to physical action is childish
Seriously, what the fuck happened to men.
Parker Green
I think Luffy and Griffith would be good friends.
Camden Wood
I bet OP is a woman. Only men understand that part of One Piece.
Christopher Garcia
Can't wait for us Chads to discuss the new chapter coming in a few years from now!
Grayson Gutierrez
>Only cucks understand that part of One Piece
ftfy
Kayden Cox
There;s protecting your honour and then there's falling for obvious bait
See; Ace's death
Lincoln Torres
The idea is you don't lower yourself to response to petty mockery.
I mean can you imagine risking everything you worked for crumbling to dust because you are such an immature moron, taking such an obvious bait?
Eli Moore
>There;s protecting your honour and then there's falling for obvious bait
Sure, and in that case you degrade the person for their shit actions, maintaining your honor and stripping them of theirs.
In what way would Luffy have fallen for "the bait" had he decided to put Bellamy in his place?
Wyatt Rogers
physical violence isn’t petty mockery
Jeremiah Evans
>in that case you degrade the person for their shit actions, maintaining your honor and stripping them of theirs.
That's what most people would call "falling for bait"
Aiden Fisher
I don't mean verbally, or even responding when I say "degrade them".
If their actions are leading them into a pit, let them fall in.
Nolan Gray
It's just Oda's autism.
Liam Bennett
So everyone is conveniently forgetting that when Luffy went to beat Bellemy, he went alone but when he was being mocked by Bellemy he had one of the weakest members of his crew with him?
Luffy didn't put his Navigator at risk should all of Bellemy's crew pull out pistols and went wild.
His journey would have ended right there with no one to navigate for him.
Brayden Diaz
Luffy does that plenty of times anyway.
Jeremiah Allen
Hey! don't you try to make sense of all of this, because this is a One piece hate thread!
