Will Luffy get a wife?

[Two]

So is this a legit pairing thread now?

What I think will happen:



Sanji takes a mermaid with him to All Blue

how do you even get with a mermaid..do they have all the parts and even if they do..they'll be fishy:|

 

[EternalMangekyouRinnegan]

I bolded everything that I think WILL happen. Because I want Luffy to end up with Nami.




She's the only person thus far that Luffy gives his hat to when he is getting serious in a fight

He gave it to others too. Don't know if it were in fillers or movies but he definetly has given it to someone else. Either way, it's only logical that he has given it to Nami. She was the only Straw Hat who couldn't fight at the beggining, it's only logical that he gave her his hat for safe keeping. I don't think there's any hidden meaning behind this.

 

[FlashySmosRinnegan]

Because none of the main characters is showing romantic feelings toward anyone there is hardly any proof to any pairing...but this giving Nami da hat matter has evaded my mind before. He usually gives it to her. And how about the punches she gives,shouldn´t Luffy just reflect them? How come he feels it? But I guess that is only for the amusument,too.

That's exactly what it is. Oda says it's only for the comedy.

Robin and Franky has a thing going on. They are usually together and let's not forget the "grabbing".

 

[Boa Hancock]

Why would Nami end up with someone from crew? She never had any of those moments with anyone from the crew. I always thought she would end up with someone from her village and live a peaceful life there.

She never had any of those moments from the crew except Luffy. I mean, hello Skypeia, hello G8 (even if it's filler), hello Water 7, and the biggest clue of them all, Movie 10. I distinctly remember Oda wanting to put that Merveille place in between Thriller Bark and Sabaody, except that his editor made him hurry into the new world. If you look at the movie with shippy eyes then Movie 10 is one big Luffy x Nami ship. Especially the ending, I can't believe they included Usopp on it when everyone could pick up on who really mattered in the action.

Someone didn't read Fishman Island properly.

 

[FlashySmosRinnegan]

So Luffy - Nami it is then. It´s not such a foolishness, they had moments - not exactly romantic ones but still slight moments. And where would a catain go without a navigator? Though I still don´t think there´s any reason for One Piece to become a love story of the strawhat-wearing captain.
But I don´t see Franky - Robin,sorry. I mean who cares if she grabbed his ´balls of gold´ or that they seem to spend time together (which I´m not really aware of),then I could say Zorro - Robin is real because of the scene Zorro caught the falling Robin during Skypiea or because it´s on eof the beloved love/hate relationships - hatred and hostility in the beginning,love in the end...Hell.

 

[Boa Hancock]

Zoro caught Robin on Skypeia ... big deal. Zoro also carried Nami in Alabasta.

Whereas:

Franky took Robin in his a55 literally because he understood her when they barely knew each other.
Luffy entrusted Franky with Robin.
Franky protected Robin in the Bridge of Hesitation.
Franky caught Robin as she was tossed on the Going Merry.
Robin took matters into her own hands to get Franky to join ... literally.

That's just Enies Lobby dude.

Your beautifully written answer will not persuade me just yet,Hebihime-sama. I´m not claiming anything,I just meant it as an example. I simply don´t see any that deep actions, that would make me go ´awww´ (what I usually don´t do) about them and that´s how it´s meant to be. So they protected each other,it´s what friends do (I mean in both cases,or well all cases). Besides, just because they´re the main characters it still doesn´t mean they have to fall for each other and not for someone outside the crew though they went through a lot already and surely have unbreakable bonds... Relationships are a great deal of a story and complicate it,make it lively but there´s no need to suddenly have romantic relationships all around (even if the fans want them),everything is in the author´s hands and personally I think dragging romances into the story that much would kinda sorta spoil it,the story would have to focus on literally every aspect and small probably meaningless actions instead of focusing on the original goals and dreams of the main characters and it should stick to it and not transform into teen(mid)age crushes...and be about adventures of course ^_^ So slight romance - yes,but nothing world-crushing and no sudden love realisations,it would make no sense if one couple got together and suddenly everyone would be paired up.

From all the people they share the most similiarities.

They are both over 30. They both lost their parents in childhood and lived with foster parents. They both had connection to ancient weapons and were persecuted by world government for that reason,even more so by the same organization (cipher pol).

They are usually seen together, even in some of the cover pages. Maybe it's not romance but they have the strongest connection together from all Straw Hats.

So they protected each other,it´s what friends do (I mean in both cases,or well all cases).

And Luffy just protected Nami but people (and you) believe they have a thing going because of that.

He protects whoever he has to protect. I don't think that Nami ever looked at Luffy that way, not even at most suspense moments. Maybe I am wrong? What exactly happened between those two at Skypea, G8, Water 7?

 

[Hyperion]

So is this a legit pairing thread now?

What I think will happen:

Luffy either dies or ends up with Nami
Zoro is by himself
Usopp goes back to Syrup and marries Kaya
Sanji takes a mermaid with him to All Blue
Chopper is by himself
Robin is by herself
Franky is by himself
Brook is with Laboon

What I want to happen:

Luffy goes to Amazon Lily and marries Boa
Zoro somehow ends up with Tashigi
Nami ends up with Sanji
Usopp still marries Kaya
Chopper finds a nice zoan reindeer
Robin ends up with Franky
Brook still goes to Laboon

Bolded: What I want to happen
Underlined: What I like, but not too sure about...

 

[FlashySmosRinnegan]

Yeah they are similar and understand each other well,etc. I get the point but it still doesn´t assure it to end up in a romance. Neither am I claiming Luffy - Nami will happen and whoever says otherwise I´ll cut out his heart,hell no...I like the pairing and it is one of the possibilities (one of those most likely to happen but who knoes) but looking at it in general,there´s no literally romance between any pair yet, just guesses what the interactions between the characters really meant. It´s not written anywhere there will surely be relationship complications,now is it.

You may not be talking to me, but here goes:

Skypeia: When they get to Angel Beach, it's Luffy who pouts when they discover only Nami can ride the Waver. As Sanji prepares the food with Conis' father, Luffy always goes to the window/balcony to watch Nami while pouting. When Luffy escapes from Nola the giant snake, he finds everyone beaten. The first thing he asks about? Nami. When Enel and Luffy fight, Luffy gives the hat to Nami ONCE AGAIN. When Nami escapes the Maxim, she is horrified to realize that Luffy doesn't know she's already saved. She then rides the Waver and meets up with Luffy, begging him to give up. When he made it clear he didn't want to give up, Nami offered him a ride on the Waver. After the party, Luffy woke up the Strawhats to hatch a plan of getting the treasure inside Nola. The first person he approaches? Nami.

G8: It's still the deal with the Waver. Of course, Sanji rides with Nami too but it was Captain's order. Besides, only Luffy is the one to hold Nami around the waist without her complaining, but then again, it might just only be his asexuality lol.

Water 7: After Luffy and Zoro are defeated by Lucci, Chopper and Nami try to find them. Nami races across the building tops, ignoring the Aqua Laguna, finds Luffy stuck between 2 buildings, and cries. She tells everything about Robin's state, and that causes him to push the buildings away when he could've done it anytime.

That doesn't include more meatier arcs like Drum and Alabasta. Would you like to hear more?

I know, even Oda said that. Doesn't stop us from theorizing though, since Oda never discounted the possibility of love in his manga. Hello Whiskey Peak, hello Smoker and Hina to a love hotel, hello Gol D. Roger and Portgas D. Rouge, the list is endless.

Skypeia: When they get to Angel Beach, it's Luffy who pouts when they discover only Nami can ride the Waver. As Sanji prepares the food with Conis' father, Luffy always goes to the window/balcony to watch Nami while pouting.

Maybe it's just me but I don't see any romance in this.

Luffy was jelous that Nami could ride it and he couldn't, nothing more and nothing less. When it comes to these things, he's like a baby. He really wanted to ride it, since it's so fun but failed, while Nami could enjoy herself to fullest. You didn't think he was worried about her or something? Oo

When Luffy escapes from Nola the giant snake, he finds everyone beaten. The first thing he asks about? Nami.

Like you said, he found everyone except Nami, thus why he asked about her. Plus, she's the weakest member of the team and a girl. Obviosly he's going to worry about her the most.

When Enel and Luffy fight, Luffy gives the hat to Nami ONCE AGAIN.

He gave her the hat so he wouldn't ruin it. I won't deny that they have a strong bond but I believe it's a friendly/brotherly bond.

When Nami escapes the Maxim, she is horrified to realize that Luffy doesn't know she's already saved. She then rides the Waver and meets up with Luffy, begging him to give up.

Because she's worried about Luffy? Oo That guy was busting his ass for her, while she was safe already.

When he made it clear he didn't want to give up, Nami offered him a ride on the Waver.

They had to beat up Enel. Nami did what every Straw Hat would do. Zorro put his life on the line for Luffy. Does that mean he's in love with him?

After the party, Luffy woke up the Strawhats to hatch a plan of getting the treasure inside Nola. The first person he approaches? Nami.

Because Nami is the treasure holder of the ship. It's only natural that he would talk to her about these things.

G8: It's still the deal with the Waver. Of course, Sanji rides with Nami too but it was Captain's order. Besides, only Luffy is the one to hold Nami around the waist without her complaining, but then again, it might just only be his asexuality lol.

She personaly told Sanji to hold her around the waist, she was complaining because he hold her too tight and was distracting her but that doesn't change the fact that he allowed him to hold her. Besides, you are overestimating Nami. She could strip down for anyone if she would need money.

Water 7: After Luffy and Zoro are defeated by Lucci, Chopper and Nami try to find them. Nami races across the building tops, ignoring the Aqua Laguna, finds Luffy stuck between 2 buildings, and cries. She tells everything about Robin's state, and that causes him to push the buildings away when he could've done it anytime.

She cried because of Robin and he didn't push those buildings because of Nami, he did it because of Robin. She was the only one who knew the truth, that's why she had to do something. Chopper was looking for Zorro too but that doesn't mean he's in love with him.

That doesn't include more meatier arcs like Drum and Alabasta. Would you like to hear more?

Yes, but I don't think that will change my mind. I think you are confusing friendship with romance. Nami and Luffy are best friends. Straw Hats are like a family. They care for each other and will do everything it takes to help out their nakama. Nami did incredible things for Robin too, you know, and she would do that for everyone.

Oh, and remember how far they went to help out Vivi? She wasn't even their nakama but they all risked their lives for her.

When they were separated, everyone was thinking of Luffy. Even Zorro put his pride aside for Luffy.

Boa Hancock eventually or else Luffy will be a widower soon after marriage

 

[Dracule]

I could only imagine what cheating on Boa would do to one's health

Well Oda says a lot of things,who knows what he means as teasing and what he actually really means hehe. Well,he probably meant that for the main characters...maybe? But it is normal if the author is denying any love affairs, usually every one is but the end is the same. Though that´s one more good thing about it,we can discuss even more

 

[Boa Hancock]

EMR, I'm discussing shipping over here. Of course "nakama-ship" is gonna make sense in a series without romance. If you're not gonna at least look at the events with "shipping" eyes then I'm sorry, what are you still doing here? -_-

 

[EternalMangekyouRinnegan]

Not sure :shrug:

Btw, how is that third part of "Back to Water 7" going on?

 

[Boa Hancock]

I don't get it.

 

[EternalMangekyouRinnegan]

I don't get it.

I edited the post.
