What's up guys :D I am going to discuss as the title says Luffys future growth and on Black Beard becoming king of the pirates first not Luffy. Of course share your opinions on what you think of this theory I appreciated :win:






When it comes to Luffy in my opinion there is one thing Luffy is lacking and that's maturity. Luffy has always had that child like nature since the start of the series like hes eats a lot, goof around, and Luffy is naive. Luffy is spontaneous person that's who Luffy is. Luffy love the thrill of adventure and always wants to explore a new island no matter how dangerous, this is one of Luffys best qualities about him.

Here one example of Luffy being naive:

Luffy is naive when comes to serious situations or anything romance related. Which is why Luffy needs mature nature friends like Zoro and Robin who are the most level headed in the straw hat pirates. Luffy child like nature really reminds a lot of kid gokus from dragon ball. In the time skip Luffy has not change mature wise, but of course Luffy became a lot stronger physically :whip:. In my honestest opinion I do think Luffy needs to mature some or to put like this GROW UP a lot XD.

This is where my theory/ main point comes in now. I think we will not see Luffy actually mature until Shanks dies.

Why I think this?:hint:

1.Because Shanks is the main reason why Luffy became a pirate
2.To return Shanks hat
3.Luffy wants to fight Shanks

Luffy stated this in the recent chapters here:

This is where Black Beard comes in to play. I do believe Shanks will die later on the story by Black Beard. It was already hinted during fishmen island Teach was the one in fact gave Shanks that scar with a claw type weapon.

Also hinted during Shanks and White Beard conversation:

Shanks and Black Beard possibly will cross paths again in new world and fight again, like I said before Shanks will get killed by Teach. Once Luffy learns this news Luffy character will gain some actual maturity. This will give Luffy another reason to fight Teach. I'm not saying Luffy should become mature completely like turning into a different person, xD no. I think when Luffu does grow he going to be like adult Goku in DBZ.


Black Beard started off has a random pirate we had no clue about and now Black Beard is a big threat in the One Piece world like:

*Teach already planned to join White Beard crew just to get the Yami Yami no mi fruit and succeed of course
*Teach and his crew on Banaro island cause a uproar and defeated Ace
*Teach made the prisoners in impel down duke it out to join his crew
*Teach manage to take on White Beard
*Teach is first person to be able use two devil fruit
*Teach conquered White Beard territories and he hunting for more devil fruit

Black Beard is building up to be one of the final antagonist in the story. I think Black Beard will find One Piece before Luffy and become king of the pirates. Then a war is going to break lose in the One Piece world. Remember what white beard said "a grand battle that engulfs the entire world" and "the world will be shaken to its core" when One Piece is found. If Black Beard finds one piece first this will give another reason not only to get stronger take on Black Beard, but to become pirate king.:scorps:

Sounds possible but Luffy shouldn't completly mature, its part of his charm that he is immature.

Being the King of the Pirates isn't a responsibility, this isn't the hokage seat. Like Luffy said, it's whoever has the most freedom at sea.

Nah, that would kinda mess up Luffy's character. That's Luffy.
He should mature up a bit.

Damn, you read fast dude!... <-<

Hibari and Mukuro! Man, it's good to see fellow KHR! fans.
Anyway...
OT: Luffy will always have the same personality, which is a good thing. He gets serious and mature when he needs to, but it is only temporary.
About Shanks dying, I doubt it. Oda would be bogus to have him lose an arm, get scarred, and die. That's too much of a bad streak. Believe it or not, Shanks is more relevant and special than Ace was, hence I don't die he too will die.
I like your idea of Teach becoming the Pirate King.

I agree with you that Luffy's next growth will need to be of maturity, but I don't think it will come by the reason you stated. It will come when something goes terribly wrong because of him being naive. Someone dies, someone gets hurt. That's when Luffy will truly grow, else he would have become mature at the death of Ace. Everytime we saw a growth of maturity (Like when he bowed down to the villagers of the Drum Kingdom) it was because his actions were not those of a Captain, and were risking the safety of his crewmates.

I think Luffy does Mature in the right situation....such as Ennis Lobby or Marineford. He'll deffinatly get serious when it comes to facing Blackbeard (especially if Shanks dies by his hand).

Luffy has matured in his own way. Ace's death taught him he needed to stop being so reckless or his Nakama will die. This is why Luffy ordered the Strawhats to train for two years, he realized it's very possible that they will die in the New World. The reason he is still so reckless seeming is because of his stupidity, lack of fear and faith in his Nakama's new strength, the latter being well deserved.

Hmmm....that is true you brought a strong point there and I agree. Strong possibility Luffy next growth might come from him being naive, but still in my opinion I think we will not see Luffy actually mature until Shanks dies because Shanks is part of Luffy goal. Hey it's Oda story so you never know xD.

thank you!

anyway, luffy is just like goku most of the time.. carefree, silly, adventurous and competitive. and don't 4get he's only 17, he's really acting his age. your not the first person i heard this from, had ppl saying OP is crap nd childish?! which i dont think so. the only thing naruto has on OP is the storyline, any other things OP owned big time and i like the fact them OP is wide open.. the story could go anywhere.. naruto is grt too but we all know whats gona happen.

naah luffy will be the next pirate king

teach might kill sanks , but he won't be able to become the pirate king .
he don't have robin by his side , so he won't able to find out about weapon , and all .

also luffy's character should not grow , it's best the way it is . it's the fate and luck that will make him do what he .

luffy may be stupid , he always makes right choices , that's what matters . ofc he gets help from luck too.

I disagree Luffy having the same personality is not always a good thing. That's the problem with Luffy he lacks some maturity to take on the role of captain and again Luffy is usually naive in serious situations. If Luffy did not have level headed friends like Robin and Zoro like said previously Luffy would only get into more trouble.

lol I'm not saying Shanks is going die and get no development trust me I agree, Shanks needs some development first and then goes all out against a hax Teach and die. Anyway it's just theory that I had, it might happen or I could be dead wrong. Though I think that would be a awesome setup later in the series.

Thxs, that would be an awesome setup toward the end of the series if Teach becomes pirate king first.

People are fast to forget that Luffy can go serious/mature at time needed... with short and deep speech when only Zoro, Robin and Sanji are the ones to understand him.
