@MagneticMonkey:
But luffy and thinking … Man he is such an idiot :p
He is more simple minded. I mean, yeah – he's an idiot, but he seems to just not think most of the time. When he does though – well, let's just say he has his moments. For example, here are some highlights of Luffy VS. Blueno:
[hide]Luffy: When I lost to Aokiji, I thought…there are gonna more guys this tough ahead, and I need to be stronger.
Or else I can't protect my friends...!! But not just to be stronger. It's because of those friends I want to be with...!!
If I'm not stronger than ANYONE else, I'll lose all of them!!! <–- Foreshadow BTW
Luffy: I tried thinking of new ways to fight… so that I won't lose anyone anymore...!! So that no one will leave me anymore...
(Ouch…I teared up at that)
Luffy: Now… you can't keep up with me anymore...
Blueno: It can't be…!! But... it IS...!!! He's done it...!!!
Blueno: He has mastered "Soru"…and is using it to move...!!!
Blueno: This can't be happening…!!! More important than using "Soru"... he managed to strengthen his body to the point where he could easily perform it. It is unthinkable for a Six Forms user to be inferior to ANYONE in terms of speed...!!! It's just not possible!!!
Luffy: I'm glad I met you guys here.
Luffy: When it looks like you guys are disappearing, I noticed you were kicking the ground over ten times in an instant. And now I've got the trick down. It's nice to know movement abilities like that.
[[URL="http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/383/13/"]This page is awesome by the way][/hide]Notice that not only did he contemplate future events and possibilities, but he came up with a new form of powering himself up, and managed to speculate and master someone else's techniques in a small amount of time. Not only does this mean Luffy can think and make good decisions (especially combat decisions), but he can learn Haki simply from watching its usage I would bet….just like you suggested.

@dinty:
Margaret was so quick to jump in and save him, and then insult him after, that it's as if she's already a Mugiwara and already knows the drill.
Also note before she attacks him she says, "Before I get too attached."
@dinty:
And how convenient that there's a second ship near the island, and that it will leave for Marine HQ very soon. All Luffy has to do is find a way to get to it, and his passage to Rayleigh is more or less secured.
I agree. Hopefully you have caught up with the posts in the thread? A lot of good speculation this week IMO. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Edit: No offense, but I always assumed for some reason you are a girl. Am I completely mistaken? If you aren't, seriously no offense…I just assumed for some reason. Not sure why.
