The death of Monkey D. Luffy?​

There are a lot of theories out there saying that Luffy is going to die in the end after becoming Pirate King. In some of them he dies the same way Gol D. Roger did, by being executed in his hometown. I personally would like that kind of ending, so I tried to find some evidence that this is going to happen.

The biggest evidence of this might be the injection of Ivanko's hormones into Luffy, which you can see here:

That manga page is the second time Ivankov gave Luffy that kind of injection. If you don't know what these injections are, then here's an explanation:

Spoiler

"These injection allows Ivankov to boost a person's chances of survival from conditions that would otherwise mean certain death. However, it is only a slight increase, so only those with a strong enough will can recover. Also, the process apparently shortens a person's potential lifespan."

Since it's the second time Luffy gets this injection, his lifespan have probably decreased dramatically. The reason why I'm mentioning this is because Gol D. Roger had something similar (still unknown what). Here are some manga pages mentioning this:

Yes, Gol D. Roger had an unknown illness, which is why he surrendered to The Government in the end, as you can see Rayleigh explaining it on the manga page I just showed you.

For those who doubt that these injections are enough to decrease Luffy's life that dramatically, then here's another thing I want to say. Luffy's gears. Both his gears, or at least gear second, has been giving hints of decreasing the lifespan of the user.... and we all know that Luffy uses them every so often.

My second, and last, "evidence" of this is the similarities between Luffy and Roger, which is kind of a smaller one. Over the series, Oda has made it a point to draw the similarities between Roger and Luffy:

-They both smiled on the execution platform in Lougetown

So my point is, if Gol D. Roger turned himself in, then there's a pretty big chance that Luffy would do the same. They share the same kind of personality, so I think Luffy might do the same if he was in the same situation as Roger.

So this was my, and many others, little theory on Luffy's possible death in the manga... I just found some hints about it though. What do you guys think about it, and how do you think Luffy will die, if he even does of course?

Thanks for the attention.

Are you retarded? One Piece's many attribution to it's plot is the perceptions and conceptions of justice. The whole point of Luffy being Pirate King is to end this war against these perspectives and bring peace upon One Piece's world building.

luffy is still very young. i dnt know if op will still go on when luffy is at rogers age. id say 5 years of training before he bcomes pirate king. so gay dudes steroids wont hurt at all.

I've also thought this.

Luffy - after acheiving his goals (becoming Pirate King, sailing the world, and everyone else having reached their goals) - will give himself in. But the problem I see with this is, what will his death start?

I mean, Roger's death started the new pirate era but Luffy's death can't do the exactly same thing, so when he gives himself in (if he does do that) and dies, then what does it start? Or rather, would it end the pirate era?

He'll die at age hhmmm 36, but we won't see that. Luffy and Smoker in the impel down talking about the unborn child

Diidnt read dont like spolilers but hell no until he become pirate king then he will die like roger giving in him self

 

[Kurama2012]

why is everyone so obsessed with main characters dying at the end of the series I've never really thought of luffy dying so i say he wont

 

[Punk Hazard]

Well, Lucci said that Gear 2 reduces Luffy's life and Luffy has already lost 10 years. The Gear 2 thing can be argued because there was no official saying of this, it's just something Lucci said, but I still see it as possible. I see Luffy dying young too, simply because his dream is the kind that's like "I've done it, now what?"

Near the end he writes this, ''So my point is, if Gol D. Roger turned himself in, then there's a pretty big chance that Luffy would do the same.'', so maybe you really should have read before posting.

Everyone have different opinions about this, yet this is still the biggest theory on Luffy's death. We don't know what Oda Eiichiro is planning, so making theories like this are the only thing we can do.

luffy is still very young. i dnt know if op will still go on when luffy is at rogers age. id say 5 years of training before he bcomes pirate king. so gay dudes steroids wont hurt at all.

And then there is Luffy's gears. We don't know how much it affects his body and lifespan, so we can't say anything about. Oda is the only one who decides that. I personally think it affects him dramatically.

I've also thought this.

Luffy - after acheiving his goals (becoming Pirate King, sailing the world, and everyone else having reached their goals) - will give himself in. But the problem I see with this is, what will his death start?

It will probably start a new kind of era, like Whitebeard's last words... or that's at least what I like to think.

The original kind of story had always the survival of the main character, but recently there has been a new trend when the main character dies. I like those kind of stories.

Well, Lucci said that Gear 2 reduces Luffy's life and Luffy has already lost 10 years. The Gear 2 thing can be argued because there was no official saying of this, it's just something Lucci said, but I still see it as possible. I see Luffy dying young too, simply because his dream is the kind that's like "I've done it, now what?"

I was thinking the same thing. And there has only been giving hints of it, but I'm sure Oda wouldn't have mentioned the decrease of lifespan, in both Ivankov and the gears' cases, without using that later in the series. I can't imagine an ending with Luffy sailing happily to seas as pirate king.

stupid fool you are luffy will die he probaly will have a boy and coby will take care of him

I don't believe Luffy will have a child, but if he does, then I think Smoker would be the one who takes care of it ^_^

I see this being way to similar to Ace's, Garp's and Roger's story. Oda isn't the type to take a past concept and then completely duplicate it, you know?

That's why I said I don't think Luffy is going to have a child. But I can definitely see Smoker having that much respect for Luffy to take care of his child if it ever comes to that.

That much is true. I see Coby and Vivi doing the same. You know what would be epic though? If Crocodile raised Luffy's kid. I know it makes no sense as to why he would do so, but it'd be badass.

I have no reason either, but that actually sounds pretty cool. You mean like a Whitebeard and Ace thingy, or a Garp and Ace one?

On topic, what you said earlier today about duplicating stories.... I wouldn't have anything against that, and I think Luffy being similar to Roger is already a "duplicate".

 

[Lili-Chwan]

If he does die, it will be after the void century is revealed. His death might be the trigger, or the finalizing event that will lead to the fall of the World Governament, the prosecution of freedom-endangering rules and the stepping stone for a better and more united world. This is what I believe in. Although in tender age, I don't really see Luffy grow old, he is more than a person, he is an ideal, and he will live as an ideal, and not as a person. I wouldn't be opposed, though, to a second time-skip after they hit the end of the grandline... With luffy acclaimed to be the pirate king by many, but not the government, and the absent time being in preparation, with the revolutionaries, to overthrow the world government and free the non-allied countries- I feel it would be epic, and it would end with Luffy's death, and the whole world believing, including the world government survivors, that he truly is, the Pirate King

Exactly what I was thinking but couldn't be bothered typing it

Thank you Nami-Swan.

Fair point, but what I mean is, Oda isn't the type to take something special like this and just repeat it, you know? It would be cool indeed, but it's just not Oda's type of thing.
