Maybe they're not cowards?

Nami's family

to end his oppression

Because Nami didn't want to run away from her village and Luffy knew that she wouldn't just up and leave with them in their predicament, so he decided to make sure they were ok so Nami could travel with them. Is this really hard to understand?

I still genuinely think this scene would have been 1000% better if he had not done ridiculous shout. Yeah it's a very Luffy thing to do but damn would it have been rad as hell

>throwing your human pride away to run from some half-fish scum?!
>pathetic

They wanted to kick his ass

One Piece was so fucking good up until and including Thriller Bark.

They were on an island.
Running away would have meant going by boat.
Getting on a boat to escape a bunch of fishmen seems like a pretty bad idea.

Why didn’t some ordinary humans try to sail away from fishman pirates?

Are you kidding? They all won their fights easily except for maybe Usopp. They didnt run away for Namis people and because they knew they could handle them. Krieg was arguably more dangerous.

The straw hats dark and sad pasts are never brought up again after their specific arcs, aren't they? Kinda weird that the last time Nami remembered her mother was 900 chapters ago.

Everything you typed is wrong, Spee D Reader.

All fishmen must hang

Because if they did Arlong would fuck up all of Nami's friends and family on the island.

I mean unless its brought up for a significant reason there's no point honestly. I mean Sanji's backstory was expanded on even further in WCI so its like they are never brought up again, its just there's no point to unless it helps the plot. Also I hope Oda doesn't do this for all the Straw Hats as we don't really need to know more about their past then we already do at this point.

Are you me? Even TB was not so good, i don't like brook so much.

My thoughts exactly. Luffy would be a lot better if he didn't do stuff like that all the time. Scene would have been perfect if he just kept walking away silently.

dude, it would have been so much better if he didn't ask the fishmen "which one of you is Arlong?", but just walked in there silently and decked him in the face.
dude, after eneru tried to shock him, it would have been so much more badass if Luffy didn't pull a silly confused face and just silently walked towards him. He just needs to be more cool xDD

Except Bellmere was mentioned, even if not by name, in Punk Hazard.

Based and truthpilled.

Nah, those scenes were fine. The scream was just unnecessary.

This

It just works

Because Oda can't write worth shit. Just look at the current arc, it's so retarded

>it would have been so much better if he didn't ask the fishmen "which one of you is Arlong?", but just walked in there silently and decked him in the face.
how the fuck was he supposed to do that without knowing which one is arlong?

Ignore him. He's trying to be sarcastic but came off as a complete retard.

>Running away like a bitch when you're gonna be pirate king
Imagine being this gay

The villagers would have died idiot
