In One Piece, Monkey D. Luffy is known as the main protagonist. He is portrayed as someone who acts foolishly but has incredible strength. As the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy is respected by both friends and foes alike. Although it is often mentioned that his goal in life is to become the Pirate King, some fans doubt whether Luffy will actually achieve this feat.
To become a pirate, one must find the legendary treasure called One Piece, which was left behind by Gol D. Roger, the previous Pirate King. Here are some reasons why Luffy may not be the one who will become the next Pirate King:
1. According to a theory in chapter 1054 of One Piece, Buggy will become the next Pirate King instead of Luffy. Buggy is known for having the highest level of Haki and has expressed his desire to become the Pirate King. Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, has also described Buggy as having higher Haki than Luffy’s crewmates such as Zoro and Usopp. Some jokes in the story have also hinted at Buggy taking on the role of the Pirate King, and in chapter 1053, it became a reality when Buggy became a Yonko.
2. Luffy himself once told Rayleigh that being the Pirate King is not just a title. To him, the Pirate King is someone who has the freedom to do anything they want rather than being the most powerful or someone who can conquer anything.
3. Gol D. Roger himself never pursued the title of Pirate King; it was people who bestowed the title upon him.
4. Luffy’s ultimate goal is to find One Piece, but the person who will be hailed as the Pirate King may not necessarily be him. It could be someone else like Buggy who will eventually claim the title.
In conclusion, while Luffy is the main character of One Piece, he may not necessarily become the next Pirate King. It could be someone like Buggy who claims the title instead. Nevertheless, the journey to find One Piece is still ongoing, and fans can expect more surprises and exciting twists in the future.
