what if luffy was a girl , would one piece be as popular as it is now or would be even more popular (with more sales , obviously) than it has now?

I do not know. It depends on how her character would be. If it is like Sakura's character one piece would not be verypopulare

with similar personality that "male luffy" has xD.
Oh well. I do not think it will be as populare, since manga readers are mostly males and most prefer a male protagonist.

If that was the only thing about the character that changed I doubt it would effect the sales or anything.
There are some weird people out there though with messed up beliefs, hard to tell.

No it would simply due to demographics. The manga is geared towards Adolesence teen males not that females dont enjoy it. The protagonist being a strong willed female is a turn away for a large part of that demographic.
I wouldnt care. But being introduced to it would be much harder. It is a shonene manga btw which normally has a male protagonist so it might not have been picked up to begin with.
