much like Batman, who is not a man who is also a bat, but rather a man who resembles a bat.
Luffy seems like a pirate while committing no actual piracy.
if one piece were set in modern times he would be a superhero called Pirateman.
discuss.
Luffy is a Pirateman

An interesting perspective.

In B4 Lock
And anyway 'Pirateman' lacks artistic flare ~

Seriously?? First the sexuality aspect, now onto superheroes?
I can see this getting locked, but I'll post anyway. I was kinda thinking along these lines the other day after I reread this.
Bonney questions Zoro b/c he helped an injured person. It kinda does appear that the pirate designation may be unrighteously applied to the Strawhats.

bumbass!!!!!!!!!

I like this guy, I really do. I read his other sexuality thread, entertaining.

discuss.I wanted to flame the hell out of your first thread but I was too late. Thank god I've gotten to this one in time. Now, stop posting. Forever.

oh ouch. i hath been scorned.

discuss.Actually, if you know anything about historical pirates, they came in all sorts of types back in the old days. There were pirates who robbed shipping vessels, there were pirates who were just against their repressive governments (look up Captain Misson), pirates that would sack settlements, and pirates on the government payroll that hit pirates that were on the payroll of other countries (or hit the ships of other countries, letter of marque and all that).
Nowadays, you have pirates that are actually functioning as a local coast guard for various countries (along the African coast, for example), you have pirates that rob cruise liners and the like, you have pirates that rob people to fund religious extremist groups.
Oda uses a lot of those types to model his pirates after, and he adds an additional incentive: A goal that means you're basically the king of this rogue collection of anti-government types. Which is what Luffy is pretty much focused on. As the Strawhats basically rob everyone they beat up (I mean, come on, Nami's a professional thief, and they keep coming into piles of gold…where would that come from if they weren't robbing people? It's not like they have full time paid jobs or whatever), yeah, they're pretty much pirates. All Luffy is, is hired muscle that beats up the big guy so Nami can grab the stash and get away with it. The rest of the crew keeps them going so they can pick up more cash. Robin is an archeologist, she basically can help direct them to various tombs they can plunder. Again, more pirating. Nice, honest, upright citizens don't rob graves. That's totally a pirate move.
To say they're not pirates is just a sign that you aren't paying attention. Luffy is way, way more of a pirate than Naruto is a freaking ninja.
-
IDK. He's helped so many people along the way who really were at the end of their rope. And Bonney even asked who had heard of a pirate helping people. To me, a pirate is all about taking what doesn't belong to you. And the only times I can say that was at Sky Island, where they took the gold out of the inside of a giant snake.
Just doesn't feel like piracy to me.
As for their roles, it's not Luffy beats them up just so Nami and steal something. That's more of the afterthought (not even a focus, cause I can't remember the last time they beat up a bad guy for money…Alabasta??). Besides, it that were so, why didn't luffy just steal Cricket's gold when Bellamy took it? He could have easily lifted that from them.
-
amazing. really, they are a band made for this kind of villainy. brings a new light to the groupshots, a dark vile light. who are these people, with their bizarre indulgences, such as a flying party elephant. do they think they are above god, that they can turn animals into men and revive skeletons, modify their bodies with technological evils…and these devil fruits. i see it now...
ODA
Original Devil, Assholes. -
Every post you make fills me with more rage. If I was a mod I'd tempoban you. Also your avatar is annoying. I wish this forum had the sage option.
-
i just want to get in before the lock. but seriously luffy realy doesnt seem to have what it takes to be like a real pirate he realy should raid enemy pirate ships more or something. pirates need gold/money luffys to nice/navie to take the money. maby if he did it more someone besides nami would have some money.
-
and aren't they all really?
usopp, a devilish child, loves to shoot others with his sling. what kind of parent would raise this disobedient little monster, this screaming cretin.
nami directs the weather….itsn't that god's work?
robin, a vile wench with no respect for a man's loins or his spine
luffy, just like the golem and invention of man, to simulate life out of inhuman matter. just a rubber tool in their process of theft.
zolo is a devil, can you even call him a man?
sanji, truly a freak, such a perversion of mere sexuality.
what a load a shit. -

I've seen far worse, including yours.

please be civil. i don't want this discussion to turn into just another bar-fight.

Does Luffy get a theme song? I think it's necessary if he's going to be "Pirateman."
Luffy's more of the Robinhood type than the Batman type if we're going into a debate about archetypal heroes.
-
well luffy's not all good i guess
he did want to steal some gold from skypia after he saved them (pirate like?) -
I've seen far worse, including yours.
Yeah, but mine at least looks cool and is meant to annoy people his is just, ew.

Somebody forgot to take his pills.

zah: finaly some funny threads, you dude are the freaking new light of this forum! i'm so tired of reading the same idiotic threads "who will be the next nakama v6.5.02" or "who beat who" or wathever, finaly some insane ideas we can discuss!! not that i have an opinion on the matter :P but ill make something up…
related to the pirates that dont do piracy.... well you never heard whitebeard did any piracy, au contraire, he protects his turf and stuff. nor have you seen shanks doing anything except drinking and getting drunk... so it is legitimate to call luffy a WEIRD pirateman who is at the same time a rubberman... a rubberpirateman?
-
Nice song :) Luffy just wants to beat up strong people till he can give his hat back to shanks, and prolly doesnt care whether they're marines or pirates! And besides that, unless people really piss him off, he just hits people that attack him :)
I wish luffy would be in this forum thread so he could beat the fuck out of Zkaiser :D
-
please be civil. I don't want this discussion to turn into just another bar-fight.
You are incapable of starting nothing but bar-fights.
Just a place-holder until I find a more interesting picture.

thank you. i was sort of inspired by this
fantastic opening i watch almost daily, it inspires me so. -

Holy shit Zah.pt2! I read your "sexuality" thread. It was unbelievably good. Best thread here in ages. I'm glad that I could express my gratitude before your banning.
-
oh you guys suck!

You're the one with a hard-candy phallus in his avatar's mouth.

WOW….......N b4 loc!

This is pretty entertaining, Zkaiser, you need to get that rodent out of your ass bud, don't go flaming everyone for just throwing up a random thread. That also goes for whoever bashes a somewhat decent question.
I've seen worse.
I've Made worse.
