I am not a huge one piece fan, I've seen a couple of episodes and have never read the manga, but after watching Luffy and the way he goes about things, I have to ask this question: Is he even a good guy?

His ultimate goal is to gain one-piece and become the pirate king, am I correct?
He cares about his comrades and like most shounen heros he will do whatever it takes to protect them. But unlike other shounen heros: Naruto or Goku, luffy's goals just seem selfish. He is not fighting for the greater good, for world piece, or to save massive amounts of people. Hell even yusuke had far better ideology than luffy.

Anybody say otherwise?

I used to watch one piece years ago and ive never read the manga. He was a good guy i believe but they are like all pirates chasing it so he's not really evil.

You're an idiot. Don't say something if you haven't seen it all. You can't have an opinion if you haven't seen all the evidence.

Naruto's a bad guy because he never follows what the Hokage says.

But he already told me. He didn't watch it all. And he made an opinion based on a sliver of information. That's idiotic.

Actually it's pretty accurate.Think about it there's no real reason for him to find one piece other than him having treasure and being the strongest. Pretty selfish if you ask me.

You did the same thing... O_O all you knew was that he didn't watch One Piece and that he had formed an opinion.... than you called him an idiot which is doing... exactly what you told him not to...

Jesus.
Does every main character have to be a hero that wants to save people? Boring.
Luffy has actually saved a number of people and if you watched OP, you would know that he is a Pirate and Pirates are technically the bad buys though Luffy doesn't actually go around stealing and hurting people. If his dream to become Pirate King is selfish, then Naruto's dream to become Hokage is also selfish. Whats the difference? They both never give up, they both wanted it since they were kids, they both performed huge feats by beating bad guys, they both love their friends etc. In case you didn't know, the World Government in OP is corrupt.

Luffy is a neutral character. His goal is more selfish yes, but whats wrong with that? He wants to prove himself, so theres no big deal about it.

Okay, I think I see the problem. Allow me to rephrase.

His opinion is idiotic.

Thats why I want the real fans to tell me why he is a good guy instead of me having to read the whole manga.

I told you I didn't watch it all and posted my opinion in hopes that the one piece fans would easily be able to tell my why he is a good guy, or disprove my opinion with manga facts so that I don't have to go and read the entire manga.
