Monkey D. Luffy, the protagonist of One Piece 1085, is known for his cheerful and kind-hearted demeanor. He has never been shown killing his enemies, even after defeating formidable foes like Kaido in chapter 1050. However, in One Piece 1085, Eiichiro Oda dropped a hint that Luffy may possess a dark side that makes him even more ruthless than Im Sama. Let’s explore this revelation further.
Throughout his adventure, Luffy has never killed any of his enemies. Even Kaido, who falls into a pool of magma after being defeated, is never confirmed dead. On the other hand, Im Sama effortlessly kills his targets without a second thought. In the latest chapter, Im Sama wiped out the entire population of the Lulusia Kingdom with Uranus, an ancient weapon under his control. This showcases the callousness and coldness of the World Government’s ruler.
In a recent fan interview, Oda revealed an interesting tidbit about Luffy’s approach to his enemies. A fan asked why Luffy never kills his foes. Oda explained that in the era of pirates, a person’s pride is more important than their life. They would rather die than be defeated by someone else. By defeating and destroying the pride of his enemies, Luffy inflicts more pain on them than death would have. In a way, Oda just revealed that Luffy has his own way of torturing and making his enemies suffer, which can be perceived as the behavior of a maniac.
In conclusion, One Piece 1085 has shed light on the darker side of Monkey D. Luffy’s character. He may not kill his foes, but he has a method that makes his enemies suffer a fate worse than death. It remains to be seen how Luffy’s dark side will play out in the future chapters of the series.
