What is Luffy's Dream in One Piece? It Surprises His Entire Crew
For over two decades, fans of One Piece have known Monkey D. Luffy for his iconic slogan: “I will become King of the Pirates!” However, Eiichiro Oda delivered a major surprise in Chapter 1060. It turns out that becoming King of the Pirates is just a “requirement” for Luffy to realize his original dream, which is far more ambitious and impossible.
This historic moment takes place on the Thousand Sunny after the Wano arc. At that time, the Straw Hat crew was discussing the latest news in the newspaper, including news about Sabo and Vivi. In the emotional atmosphere, Luffy remembered his childhood promise with Ace and Sabo.
Luffy then stood up and said to his entire crew, “At the end of my dream, there is…” (This sentence was censored by Oda in the text, but told directly to the crew). This is the second time Luffy has revealed this; the first time was to Shanks, which made the Yonko laugh until he cried.
Luffy’s dream is exactly the same as what Gol D. Roger, the former King of the Pirates, once said, which made Oden and Shirohige stunned.
The crew’s reaction is the most interesting part. Oda depicts a wide range of expressions, reflecting each person’s personality as they hear the captain’s “crazy” dream:
Brook & Franky: Both laugh very hard. Franky even calls the dream something “super.” Sanji also laughs while smoking, as if he thinks Luffy is the most ridiculous person he has ever met.
Nami & Zoro: Both look stunned and break into a cold sweat. Nami even asks if Luffy is serious. Usopp immediately shouts that the dream is “impossible” and illogical.
Chopper: This reindeer is the most emotional. His eyes sparkle with admiration. Jinbe feels that his decision to join Luffy’s crew was the best thing he has ever done, while Robin remains silent with a mysterious expression.
To date, readers do not yet know exactly what Luffy said. However, many theories have emerged among fans, such as wanting to hold the biggest party in the world or breaking down the barriers between the seas. What is certain is that this dream is something that only someone with the highest level of freedom in the world can do. (Z-4)
Luffy’s awareness of Haki first occurred unintentionally before the two-year timeskip. He first showed signs of Haoshoku Haki.
Portgas D. Ace is the biological son of the King of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger. However, Ace hated his father and chose to use his mother’s last name, Portgas D. Rouge.
Gear 5 is not just an ordinary shonen transformation that relies on anger. Instead, it is a symbol of happiness and creativity.
Eiichiro Oda revealed that the second season will adapt a number of major arcs from the manga version, starting from Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, to Drum Island.
The series has managed to captivate old fans as well as new viewers thanks to its faithful storytelling approach to the original material, and strong casting.
