Luffy knows what needs doing and trusts everyone else to do their part, nothing complicated, it's all about helping out his friends on the way to the treasure in the Grand Line. He still thinks there's four Raftels.

Luffy wants to obtain the One Piece so he can become the King of the Pirates. He's only really interested in things that directly relate to that goal (gathering crewmembers, defeating Emperors, collecting Poneglyphs) and stopping people who hurt his friends.

well there is that idea that he has some other dream, that roger also had, that isn't being king of the pirates. and we know roger didn't want to be king of the pirates because he said people just started calling him that after he got to laugh tale

Twitter is a bad place to find spoilers, but it's a great place to find surprisingly detailed meme art.



edit: bleh, yeah I didn't look at it close or critically enough to id it as ai art immediately. Will go flog myself.

Can't see how it wouldn't be given we're starting a highly-anticipated flashback which is likely to resolve at least 5 separate long-term mysteries

I would not be surprised at all if, over the course of this flashback, we see Dragon was a young Marine under Garp, and whatever happens here is what inspires Dragon to destroy the unacceptably hosed up world order.

I am expecting to see Garp and Dragon as father and son hero duo and then at the end Dragon give a gently caress you dad speech after being told her can't free all of his new friends.

Based on the text on that phone I'm assuming the "surprisingly detailed" part comes from typing,"Shanks from One Piece as a rat" into a computer. :mad:

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
If the question is "Is Luffy aware of the current ongoings of the world." He knows the basics, and has Robin on order that if it's important that he does know, to tell him. But he's also Luffy, so if it's not vital that he knows this right now, he doesn't care. I mean that defines Luffy, that was the whole premise behind Arlong Park that Luffy, knowing absolutely nothing about Nami's situation and not caring about the 'why' of her situation, is still willing to go all out and fight for her.

It's also why for backstories like Doffy, Luffy doesn't actually learn it. He doesn't know what hardships you went through and how you became the bastard you are, and also that poo poo ain't gonna save you from a punch in the face. He left the Kaido fight knowing as much about Kaido as he did going into the fight, he does not need to know that Kaido was enslaved as a young man and his obsession with the Joyboy concept and a desire to find Joyboy. Those things are context for us, the reader, They aren't going to halt the punches.

Luffy does sometimes reveal that he remembers a surprising amount of Lore Stuff like Pluton.

We never do get inside his head. Boy could have already worked out what happened in the Void Century but won't tell anyone because that's Robin's dream.

Oda has made it a point to never have Luffy thinking to himself because he genuinely doesn't. Whatever he's thinking, he just says it.

yeah!

like, obviously it's because he's an all-action head empty kind of guy who wears his heart and his braincell on his sleeve

but this has the side effect of making him actually feel more larger-than-life, like he's truly a legend in the making and all we know about him are his actions and the testimonies from the people around him

Anyway, it's less that he never thinks and more than he usually speaks aloud what he is thinking.

Haha yeah, he was being uncharacteristically thoughtful there because he'd decided to sneak in. Normally he just blurts out whatever he's thinking out loud, and even at Impel Down it wasn't long before he gave up on the sneaking and was just blaring everything at full volume again :allears:

Edit: One of my favorite gags is when Usopp is saying they need to keep quiet and not expose themselves and the very next panel is Luffy answering an emergency Den Den Mushi call with,"HI THIS IS MONKEY D. LUFFY I'M GOING TO BE THE KING OF THE PIRATES!"
