I don't know if this topic has ever been breached breached before, but I just wondered if Oda has something else planned behind Luffy's love for meat. Perhaps, we've overlooked something. Perhaps it's actually the fuel for Gear 2 or perhaps it has something to do with the Will of D. Maybe I'm just being silly but I've read stuff with uber cool plot twists where the things we thought were meant for comic relief, were in fact the things significant to the storyline. Aha? I thought it's just the kind of thing Oda might come up with. XD
Beyond The Meat

Best thread title ever. :)

I concur. I think more people are gonna say that then talk about the topicXD
-
hmmm
since Oda is a worshipper of DBZ
from DBZ point of view, luffy's strength comes from his big appetite
just like the saiyajinsrun before getting bashed by DBZ haters
-
bash
It's the increased metabolism - if your body stretched, odds are you'd eat more then usual just to keep your energy up. Instead of a joint moving, he has every bone, joint, skin cell, etc - stretching, moving, contracting. With DBZ, they have these "massive power levels" that simulate the same thing . . .

oh. i almost forgot Oda worshipped DBZ.
and while we're still looking beyond the meat, Pandaman will probably show up as a future villain.

Meat is great!!
Well, if we counted for all the types of meat that Luffy has eaten since he became a pirate, the one that would change him would probably be those skyfish stuff.
You just dont really know what's really the contents inside the skyfish, eating them may just give a boost in power. -

Beat me to it. Meat is essential for a good body, and it tastes great too. Think of it as a morale raiser for Luffy.
-
Perhaps it has to do with his ability. Meat has more conective tissue than
fish so its possible that he needs it to fuel his rubberness.Or he could just like the taste.XD
-
Hehe…sounds like the title of an biographical TV special. "Monkey D. Luffy: Beyond the Meat".
I would actually find it more amusing if it were revealed that Luffy's eating habits are nothing more than psychosematic.
-
I think it's cause Oda probably read Journey to the West, aka Monkey here in the states.
In it, Monkey was a bit of a glutton who loved meat.
Course, he was also a King, incredibly strong, immortal, enlightened, the great sage equal to heaven, a changeling, made of stone, could fly, and could do some amazing jutsu, like the ability to take all his body hairs and turn them into tiny monkeys.
Yeah, the REAL Son Goku was far more of a badass than the DBZ or the Saiyuki one.
Btw, didn't Oda answer a question about the meat fetish in an SBS?

Uhm, no it isn't. It's an anagram of…..of not much, really=(

Maybe the reason Luffy likes meat so much or food in period. Is with stretching organs his stomach takes a long time to fill, thus being cursed to be starving for quite a time until some unreasonably talented cook fills him up with….well meat.
-
Remember that this is a pirate manga. Meat back then would be the equivalent of candies, chocolates, soda, tacos, burritos…the best stuff we had now would be "meat" in the 1500's. Luffy doesn't eat many veggies because, if people hadn't noticed, farmers are few and far in OP; the rum is imported, as are the spices for stuff.

Yes, all hail Chuck Norris, the most important man since Jesus! Chuck Norris is so badass that he invented a time machine just so he could travel back in time and roundhouse kick Hitler's ass!

I believe this may be the fastest a thread has ever gone off topic on any forum I have ever been on :laugh:
-
Yes all due to my old Sig thats pretty awesome.
Another reason Luffy might like meat so much is it's his fondest memory of a member on Shanks's crew. Of course he had to spend a fine limit of time with the major people on Shanks crew so maybe Lucky Rouxe got him addicted to the stuff.
Like one day there just hanging out and he shows him about a room full of meat at there disposal and they just gobble it all up.
Maybe I'm rambling but it might be him showing respect to a respected member of Shanks crew. :D

oda could make luffy eat vegetables…
but that's not very piratish eh?? -

http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=Monkey+D.+Luffy Try this on fer size.

Thats nothing! the anagram of Gol D Roger is DR LEO GROG. those who played secret of monkey island all know what grog is. (a corrosive beverage drank by pirates that could eat through mugs) And leo is short for leonardo, who, everone who read the DaVinci code will know that leonardo was a grandmaster.
Thus gol d roger was a grandmaster with a Phd in grog
end of file.

Meh, I was chilled to learn from your conclusive evidence that Monkey D. Luffy cannot only be rearranged to spell "Ned Fly Fumy OK" but also "Moldy Fey Funky" and "Mod Key Fly Fun."
This obviously has something to do with Fish Man Island and the True History.
-
Of course, who can forget "Do Me Funky Fly". This clearly explains Luffy's extreme power when wearing an afro :laugh:
-
My OK Unfed Fly.
If he's actually unfed, then the meat is definitely supplying his monstrous powers!

Lol, that'd be funny. The last temptation of Luffy…
Lucky: Go on, eat it. It tastes nice...
Luffy: B...but Captain Shanks said not to!
Lucky: But noone will know who did it except for me and you...right?
Luffy: I...guess you're right...Takes a bite and turns into the lovable yet dopey Luffy we know today Whooooo!!!!! Gimme more meeeeeat!!!!
Lucky: Oooops. Uh...better make a run for it.
