monkey d luffy as an in-universe concept is so fucking funny to me because like…
you just live peacefully on your island and you keep hearing tales of this like crazy monstrous pirate crew who will come and destroy half your island and overthrow your government and then one day they show up and it’s just some scrawny little Noodly Boy and his weird teenaged friends and you’re like oh damn he’s not threatening at all??? he just wants to be friends and eat all our food??? and then before you know it half your island is destroyed and your government is overthrown
What’s hilarious to me in addition is the number of times Luffy’s overthrown a government because someone was mean to a person who fed him. Like, the rumor about Dressrosa is that someone gave him a sandwich, was killed, and Noodly Boy lost it and took out Doflamingo.
I have finally gotten around to reading the Vegapunk arc:
Luffy remains true to type.
