Title: line from "Black Parade" - MCR
What pirate crew can conquer the world without a captain?
Monkey D. Luffy dies.
Dies in the arms of his crew with a dream and a smile on his face.
He did not become the King of the Pirates. He is dead. He leaves his nakama, without a captain, his friends and family and dies.
Well... his Nakama will become.
They have a captain. It doesn't matter that he is dead, his dream and love live in them and they will bring it to the world. They will fly his, their, flag over all seas and crown themselves.
They will also destroy the Government and everyone who stands in their way.
Watch how the Mugiwara fight and fight and conquer one sea after another, until the Grand Line itself is kneeling before them.
Somewhere there along the way to the crown, they grieve, somewhere there they heal, somewhere there they live.
