Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
Hopefully I won't get banned from the forum for creating such a topic but, I just want to know what you guys think will happen by the end of the series. Will Luffy end up like Gold D. Roger or will it be a happy ending? I don't want to share my opinion yet though…
P.S: I'm sorry if this kind of topic exist already
Luffy will never find one piece and die a broken old man.
well, I think luffy will die, all the D.'s do. so him, Ace, and blackbeard will die by the end of the series.
My personal theory has been that nobody ever dies in OP so that when one person finally dies for real, it will hit super-hard - far harder than any other death could. My guess is that one person will be Luffy - he'll go in a nobody and die Pirate King, just like Gold Roger.
Yeah, I want him to die a Pirate King, too. Namely years from now, after his adventures have ended, he's brought back to Louge Town to be executed. He says something witty (perhaps about finding his own treasure?) while his crew mates (all in disguise) stand by and watch. The blade comes down on Luffy as he simply smiles, then the view is cut away to see his hat floating away on the wind. \o.o/
Or perhaps something 'happier.' Whichever. XD

That would be a good ending should be his own town, but alot of fan (kids mostly) don't want to see Luffy death.
My theory is like Myoti but different. The crew in disguises pull a Will Turner to Jack Sparrow type of thing and rescue him. Then the series ends with all of them running away with smiles.

i like that, it'd be like the fans would be led into the idea that Luffy is going to die Gold Roger style, but then his crew saves his ass and runs away

Ooh, I gotta say, that is pretty interesting. =D
Or maybe it goes like how I was saying, but then it cuts back and you see Zoro blocking the blade. Then all heck breaks loose, the Strawhats escape, and Luffy nabs his hat right as they all head back out onto the sea. 
That would be a good ending should be his own town, but alot of fan (kids mostly) don't want to see Luffy death.
There's a good reason for that as Luffy being executed would require:
Outside of those two scenarios, it's hard to imagine who would execute Luffy as he's the national hero of three different nations (two of which are members of the World Government), numerous small towns (including an entire archipelago's worth of villages), and a major citystate.
Luffy being executed would pretty much require that the world continue along pretty much as is with the vast majority of the world being under the sway of a bunch of malicious bastards who care about nothing but maintaining their grip on the world.
The most likely result is that the World Government would come out of all this stronger than ever; piracy seems destined for a civil war between Golden Age and New Era pirates. Between that and Luffy's actions that are landing many influential and powerful pirates in prison, the World Government might well sweep piracy from the seas if Luffy fails.
Complicating things since 2009.
well, in my opinion. I don't even know if Luffy will get an execution. Because technically from my memory, Luffy haven't done any actual hardcore evil crime (unless you call starting a pirate a crime). In fact he was saving lives and making people happy. That's exactly why I think Luffy's execution will be canceled by the people all over the world, by all the people that Luffy and his crew rescued. I don't know what the WG would do in this situation but Oda's an expert when it comes to happy ending so that my opinion
Chuck Norris challenged Sanji into a roundhouse kick battle. This was marked in Genesis World Record as the worst mistake ever made.
Chuck Norris did not only get a full course meal but also the dessert…
Exactly, Oda always pulls off a happy ending so thats why I think mine works. Or he could just pull a unhappy ending cause hes no predictable.
But the fact is Luffy being executed is predictable, hence Oda will not do it.
There was this one game or book… I forget the name... where at the end, after everything was resolved and the world was right again, the main character simply vanished. The characters just woke up and noticed he was gone.
That's kind of how I want One Piece to end. The strawhats just wake up one day to find Luffy missing, and they search around and find a note that says:
"So long, my nakama. Thanks for everything."
Then everyone will wonder where the hell he went, and it will flash to Twin Capes lighthouse.
We'll see Luffy yell for Laboon, and Laboon will apear.
Luffy will look up at him and say, "I said I would be back, didn't I?"
Then he'll throw a punch and the series will end before the punch connects.
Either that, or the same type of deal, minus the note. That way, everyone can wonder, "Was it all a dream?"
Btw, people DO die in One Piece. Stop trying to beat a dead horse.
. Because technically from my memory, Luffy haven't done any actual hardcore evil crime (unless you call starting a pirate a crime).
Actually, declaring yourself a pirate pretty much is a crime by all appearances.
Anyway:
Cocoyashi - Assault and battery of a Naval officer.
Alabasta - Assault and battery of an official representative of the World Government, battery of a Naval Officer.
Longringlongland - Assault and battery of a Naval officer.
Enies Lobby - Several hundred cases of battery concerning World Government officials, numerous counts of destruction of World Government property, aiding and abetting a known fugitive of the World Government, resisting arrest, incitement to riot.
There are probably more, but those would be the main things as Morgan's people wouldn't have reported Luffy's attack on him and the World Government is probably unaware of his attacking Wapol.
Plus the possibility that they consider him responsible for the actions of his crew.
I don't know what the WG would do in this situation but Oda's an expert when it comes to happy ending so that my opinion
I'm inclined to think that he'd be rescued by well, everybody, not just his own crew, but going with him actually being executed would be bad for the reasons I just gave.

That I agree with…

This I really won't agree because almost everybody hated the naval system and the world government so technically Luffy was doing everyone a favor. The naval's got too much corruption going on (i.e. Arlong park navy, execution method). But I guess that's just how the world is like

Wouldn't it be neat if Smoker was the one who saved Luffy?
I don't think Smoker will save Luffy though…..
I like Buuhan1's idea, with a little variation.......both the exercutioner will be Sanji and Zoro in disguise........

It seems like only people that died are in flash backs.
No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.
–Edmund Burke
I don't think he'll die just because it seems to counteract so much in One Piece already (no one dies, seems like he was punished for his dream,predictible, etc.). I mean, I guess there could be some sort of revolution, I mean, aside from Loguetown it was hinted that there would be a great battle at the dawn of an era by Smoker at Alabasta, plus aside from a World Government nemesis, they have allies such as Alabasta, Drum Kingdom, (after this) Water 7, but again, this is probably about as unsubstanciated as any other claims to know the end.
There's a good reason for that as Luffy being executed would require:
- The current World Government still be around.
- Dragon's revolutionary government being pretty much the same as the World Government.
Outside of those two scenarios, it's hard to imagine who would execute Luffy as he's the national hero of three different nations (two of which are members of the World Government), numerous small towns (including an entire archipelago's worth of villages), and a major citystate.

i always thought about ending the serie with luffy smiling like roger before he got killed, but after reading what you said… i don´t know what to think... you´re damn right 
@Ein:

Bellamy and Mr. 11 weren't flashbacks.
And you can debate any other death in One Piece, but Bellamy and Mr. 11 are dead. Period. End of story. There's no debating that.
This I really won't agree because almost everybody hated the naval system and the world government so technically Luffy was doing everyone a favor. The naval's got too much corruption going on (i.e. Arlong park navy, execution method). But I guess that's just how the world is like
That was actually just a list of the official crimes that Luffy has actually committed that the World Government is aware of; I'm pretty sure that the Navy would consider most of them what you would call hardcore evil. The only one on there that they wouldn't would be Luffy beating Crocodile and that seemed to annoy the Gorosei (though, to be fair, they seemed more annoyed at Crocodile because he lost than they did at Luffy for beating him).
As a result, the World Government might well hold that against him.
The only real piratical act that the Straw Hats have done in the tradition sense was stealing the gold from Upper Yard and the Skypieans and Shandians would gladly have given them that and far more if they'd stuck around.
Anyway, if the series ends with the current World Government still in power, then these charges will still hold against Luffy.
@Fire Fist:

Mr. 11 was confirmed to be dead by eyewitnesses, but that's pretty much it. As I recall, people used to swear up and down that Daz Bones was killed by Zoro and we all know how that turned out. So I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Bellamy doesn't pop up somewhere in the future. He might be missing an arm or leg, but I think that chances are good that he's still alive.
Of the others, a lot of people say that the Meowban Brothers and the various bounty hunters at Whiskey Peak are dead. I doubt both of those, especially the bounty hunters as the sequence with Zoro fighting them was largely played for laughs.
I expect by the end, the world government goes through a big policy changes or get splitted into smaller governments. I would like Luffy to get pardon and countiue sailing the seas with his nakama still with him into the sunset. Luffy getting excuted would be to predicateble.
Currently writing a book
Well Oda says he keeps the villians alive due to them holding their "dreams." For their dreams are crushed and they will have to live with it knowing that it was the fault of Luffy. However, wouldn't it be rewarding to see Luffy, emulating that of Rodger his idol, complete his dream by ending his life in the same manner? His dream was to be a pirate king afterall., that would definitely be fulfilling to see his dream end in completion.

Okay, point taken. But we KNOW that Mr. 11 is dead.
Come to think of it, a suitable punishment for Bellamy would be having his legs chopped off. That way, he wouldn't able to use his powers, because his only moves involve his legs. Although you'd figure he'd figure out that a coiled punch would hurt like holy hell…
What One Piece is all about, is how Luffy will become Pirate King and his nakama fulfill their dreams, and how that will better the world, trigger the downfall of the corrupt WG, end the devastating Pirate Age and resolve 800 years of darkness.
What happens after that doesn't seem important (certainly not to them), as long as they complete their mission. But it's clear to me, that Luffy can't continue with a happy pirate life afterwards, not with his mighty spirit. And he certainly won't give up being a pirate or accept a position of authority. I simply see no viable alternative to Luffy's glorious death, that would end the pirate age and the whole story properly, whether it's a noble and necessary sacrifice or a victorious execution.
@joekido:
Luffy getting excuted would be too predictable.
What's wrong with predictable? IT's also predictable, that Zoro will become the strongest Swordsman and that Luffy will find One Piece on Raftel. That doesn't make it less interesting.
I don't really think Luffy will die.
I say, when Luffy is sitting on the excution platform, he suddenly says something like: No way i'm dying, the point in fulfilling a dream is enjoying living with it!
Then the two excutioners smile and Sanji says a cool line [being one of them], Zoro's the same [being the second]. A detailed version my opinion for what people said here. ^^
@Rai:
the point in fulfilling a dream is enjoying living with it!
Actually the point in fulfilling the dreams of the SHs, is following the hearts greatest desire, and fulfilling a promise, that's more important than life, friendship, comfort, justice or anything else. It's this absolut united determination that makes One Piece so great. The SHs don't go through hell, to have an enjoyable life afterwards and they wouldn't mind at all to sacrifice their lifes to fulfill their dreams.

Then Delete the speech, I don't know. Didn't think of anything else that moment.
My theory is that it's gonna end with the same lines that it started with ^^
But it's Luffy who's gonna be saying it
And with the whole ground cheering, it's over. ^^
"Fame, Wealth, Power, Gold Roger had it all…"
Yeah, I don't think Luffy is gonna be saying that. XD
You're probably referring to Roger's last words, which were actually not mentioned till Dragon quotes them in Chapter 100. But I agree with you. That's how it will end, but I am placing my money on him saying these words while he's fighting Laboon.
There's no question in my mind that's how the manga would end. When Luffy says he's gonna do something, he will. And I quote:
"When we've circled the world, I'm gonna come back here... and we're gonna fight again!"
That's exactly how One Piece will end.
I've been reading the forums for a long time, but this is my first post, so hi everyone.
I don't think Luffy will die executed, as Oda has already put in scene the symbolic replay of Gold Roger's death in chapter 99 and Luffy survived. It clearly means to me that he will accomplish his dream : become the greatest pirate and surpass GR (I don't think he wants to be like him, it's not like Luffy, he just wants to be the best, no matter who was before). He will survive the WG in the fight they have engaged, reveal the true history of the world by reaching Raftel where he will find no treasure (as Roger did never say the OP were there). And in a final chapter, suggest to go for another round using another route, to see if they find the OP, go see laboon and the chapter will finish on a note that says there are always new adventures to go.

Yeah, but did he? No. His only move was to coil his legs and bounce around like an idiot.
I could actually see Luffy being back in is home village and telling his grandchildren about his adventures. He would be laughing a lot and still making fun of Usopp. Might actually make for a funny last chapter.
I most wondering if Luffy is gonna be an adult by the time he becomes Pirate King. The strawhats have been out for barely over a month, yet Luffy has beaten one of the WG top secret agents and a Warlord of the Sea. At this rate, Luffy will be pirate king in less than half a year (One Piece time). Think we'll see a timeskip (ala Dragonball)
@Fire Fist:

Just because he didn't deosn't mean he can't.

I would rather see a cliffhanger ending.....where you see Luffy and the mugiwaras about to fight a hold bunch of pirates on Raftel. and THE END.
When Luffy finally finds ONE PIECE. He discovers that ONE PIECE is a mystical time portal that sends him back in time, 50 years in the past. He then realized that it was the start of the great pirate age. After a number of incidents, he declares himself as Gol D. Roger and sets out to a great adventure and finally finds RAFTEL and places ONE PIECE in the island. He gets caught and gets executed. Years after the execution a boy named MONKEY D. LUFFY was born into the world. He dreams to become the pirate king, and the cycle goes on AGAIN….. lol....XD

Luffy will never find one piece and die a broken old man.
I hope you die long before then, heathen.
I believe that all of the Straw Hat crew's (well, maybe not Chopper's, since it's impossible to cure EVERY disease) dreamns will come true, luffy will find One Piece, and die a happy old man known as the second pirate king, and better than Whitebeard.
….....(well, maybe not Chopper's, since it's impossible to cure EVERY disease) .....
well, we are talking about a manga -> fantasy world…....though..... nothing wrong with Oda making Chopper's dream come true...... the only bad thing about it is, that some readers might mix reality with fantasy..... that's what a majority of people in this world tend to do........

Why not??? They'll probably find raftel which should be a very advance place… I presume He'll not find a miracle cure, but all the medical books he'll need to cure everything...
All the D.s group up. And in one magnificent show of D-sizing the world takes notice of them and gazes in awe.
Hey. Have you ever seen DDDDDDDDDDDD boobs?
Pornalicious.
In fact he was saving lives and making people happy. That's exactly why I think Luffy's execution will be canceled by the people all over the world, by all the people that Luffy and his crew rescued.
I agree with you 100% , thats what I believe too

Sounds a bit farfetched, but maybe a medicine that would cure all would sound better

Chuck Norris did not only get a full course meal but also the dessert…
Seconding those saying Luffy's gonna pull it through - I really can't see Oda killing off Luffy. After all he's done for the members of his crew, and for the people he's come across…they practically owe everything to Luffy, as far as I'm concerned. He gives and gives, not even blinking to contemplate dying in the name of some dream of a stranger he's just met. I'm predicting a huge day of reckoning for him at the end of the series. He's almost going to get executed, but will be rescued or saved in grand style by his crewmates, perhaps with the assistance of some of those countless individuals he's helped along the way.
