Do you think that Luffy will have the same fate as Rogen will Oda do that to one of his main characters?

:blink:

Mr. Santoryu

You mean Luffy being executed at the end of One Piece?

I hope not. Luffy kicks too much ass.

Solid

If Luffy gets executed at the end of One piece, then one piece will be the best manga ever. It will have so much emotionals…

Buccaneer

I agree with Santoryu, dunno why people would want Luffy to get the axe. I'd like One Piece to tie up its loose ends, but an open enough ending for people to use their imaginations and Toei to screw it over with an animated sequel.

You mean like a "Ten years later" sorta thing?

STEP INTO DA GRAND LINE, MOTHAFUCKA!!! (ala GT)

… Oh, wait. That's already been done. Silly me.

I dont think that it will happen cause Oda doesnt kill his main characters anyway…

:D

right?

cowboybribop

I don't think he'd kill Luffy at the end. It would be too cyclical. Another Great Era of Pirates would begin, and then some one would have to reach the One Piece (or maybe the Two Piece). I think would be much more interesting if it was ended on a tied up loose ends, but with a look to the future ending. Not to mention it would fit the type of story it is better.

Solid

Well then I want the strawhatts to fake their own deaths and then they all go to a secret island where nobody finds them and there they lives happy ever after. :D

Zephos

If any strawhat dies it should be Zoro.

Spike Speigal style.

I think it will end with everyone achieving their goals and going seperate ways. I think Zoro will beat Mihawk and take on the strange lifestyle of travelling the world to accept challenges on his own, Sanji will find All Blue and return to Baratie to suceed Zeff as the new owner, Ussop will lead a group of pirates into an impossible battle and will die as a brave warrior of the sea and Luffy.. he will become the Pirate King, and when he finds One Piece I got a feeling that it isn't going to be material treasure. I think that One Piece is the title of "The Pirate King" and when Luffy becomes that, he has to accept the responcibilities and ramifications… he will be executed.

I think it will end as the Anime started. As luffy stands at the gallows, a smile on his face but his eyes shaded by his straw hat. Wealth, Fame, Power...

As the axes fall, Luffy's straw hat is seen falling through the air. It lands in the hand of a young boy. Shanks can be seen in the crowd. He smiles, and walks away whispering to himself one word. Luffy.

:o

I agree with you. If Luffy wouldnÂ´t get executed the in would be just the usuall 08/15 donÂ´t let the hero die ending. But if he would get executed then it would be a lot more emotional.

Tony Tony Chopper

If they make a a ten-years later thing… it will ruin One-Piece. They should make Luffy be executed and he does at same as Gold Roger and hides One-Piece and those same lines Roger said, Luffy says...

And it ends! That'd be awsome and creepy @ the same time :) :(

Dragon Warrior Steve

I think this might happen. I also thought he might find One Piece, but not take any of the treasure. To tell you the truth, I don't know what will happen. :blink:

mugiwara

Now this is a great question and one whih I have contemplated many times. I think it would certainly be fitting for Luffy to finally be executed after becomeing the Pirate King, but except for some of the flashback characters (Roger, Bellmere, Hiluluk, etc.) Oda has been very reluctant to kill characters. I'm not sure how I would feel if Luffy were killed in the end. While I always think it is the most emotional and fitting way to end any series, I just don't know if I would feel right if Luffy were killed. Meh, I don't even know. I just have to leave it in Oda's competent hands, I know whatever he decides will be alright with me.

Klabautermann

I have to think that Luffy will not only be the next Pirate King, but I also think he would change the basis of what it means to be a pirate. His idea of what a pirate should be seems drastically different from typical pirate practice, and I donâ€t think he'd put up with it. I don't think the conventional pirate would survive his coronation, let alone the present Administration. I'm skeptical that there could ever be balance between Luffy as the Pirate King and the current regime of the World Government, and I wouldn't place bets on the current leadership coming out of this disagreement intact.

i hope he does get the axe i would declare it the worst manga ever if he didnt. and if a sequal were to bo made it would be called One Piece A.D it would about the rest of the crew or something like sanj sailing the ocean in the baratie ship resturant trying to find all blue with okama as his first mate. and about nami making the world map, chopper blessing more lands with the sakura flower curing all diseases and robin making a pirate crew trying to find the true history (no zoro cuz hed probably kill minhawk during the end)

Kalei

I've written up my ending prediction so many times… I think you guy's have heard it enough. Summary: Luffy becomes Pirate King, lets himself be captured, he's executed and thus reignites the Great Era of Piracy.

Battle Franky

Yeh, I like the idea of the Luffy continuing the cycle and starting the new era. I can't see him lingering on for years and years, he'll have had accomplished his goals and fulfilled his dream. I think he'd love to be the one to leave that legacy behind, One Piece… his treasure.

Thedevil

i like what i hear from battle franky. i also think they would try to execute him but something will happen

Ace

It think it would be great for luffy to be excuted and the last scence to be the last lsland (rafftle ) with rodger's and the strawhat's flag on the highest point, billowing in the in the wind.

One Piece GT…..ugghhh it will happend too.

I think the series will end with Luffy getting One Piece, than staying at a village somewhere and giving another kid the Straw hat.

Thedevil

i hope this happens and we see the end of one piece no more one piece z and one piece gt

ronozoro

i wouldnt mind luffy dieing. it would be really sad but it would make a definet ending and keep them from coming back with luffys second adveture or even worse his kid goes out exploring <_<. the posible endings that i could see are luffy exicuted, everyone staying together or everyone sliting up. if they when with everyone spliting up i would want like a page per member telling where they ended up. but luffy dieing at the end i would love an ending like that.

Yoska

As sad it would be I believe death could be fitting end. And I honestly believe it would be better if One Piece wouldn't be never revealed, just to tease us as all forever :P. So Luffy would die taking the secret along with him, clear the path for a new generation of pirates. But for God's sake, no OP GT, not even OP Z.

Sanze

ohh please no OP GT ….. DB GT is already an insult to the old DB <_<

and i don't think Luffy will die in the end of the story coz Oda never really kill his
character … and also the fact that stupidity don't have a limit (what's that got to
do with anything :D)

GODA_8000

Actually, Oda only seems to kill characters in flashbacks, but I don't think there's any confirmed kills in the present timeline. (Arlong? Crocodile?)

Anyway, I don't really think he will die the same as Gol D. Roger, its a high probablity he'll get killed by the some Ultimate Weapon or just sailing the seas for the rest of his life.

Didn't Wiper and Pagaya bite the dust?

Okay, I'll leave some spoiler space here, just in case….

I really have no real idea for how Oda'd end the series, but since he seems to like playing against people's expectations, it might run more to the idea that Luffy gets captured and is slated to be executed by the Marines, but on that day, all the people he's met and helped since the begining of the series (you know, all the ones that keep saying they'll meet him again/ someday they'll repay the favor, etc) show up and rush the platform or cause a skirmish to save him. Heck, Vivi might show up and demand a pardon, she did seem pretty sure she'd seem them all again at the end of Alabasta. But it's so tough to tell, what with this subplot with the world government; by the end of the series there may have been a complete unseating of these people, which would change things drastically. But the reason Oda's been chosing not to kill anyone except in flashbacks may be because he does plan to kill Luffy at the end and that way his would be the only non-flashback death and therefore be more powerful, or what have you. I really don't know, but it's interesting to think about. I think this post proves I think about it too much, actually. ;)

Man, I really don't want to see Luffy just get executed. It wouldn't fit the tone of the series to end on such a depressing down note; freakin' Wapol gets a happy ending, but Luffy doesn't?

You know what would I like to see?

Luffy not only survives, but grows up to be an old man, who still practices piracy but doesn't really lay claim to the title of Pirate King anymore, largely thanks to the new breed of pirates that have surfaced over the past few years.

He is, in fact, the same old man that we see in the second Romance Dawn oneshot. The Luffy who fights Hexagon Shobiru is the current Luffy's grandson.

i think if luffy dies,he'll gonna be some kinda legend and that'd be cool…though i'd like it if he is alive....:D

See, I couldn't envision Luffy and the Gang sailing off into old age with a flowing white beard, reliving the 'good old days' that they enjoyed, and playing with their hundreds and hundreds of grandchildren. Although I could envision him helping out the Gorousai in the far, far future and weed out some majorly corrupt Marines who nearly overthrew the Gorousai in order to exist as the Pirate King, but I share the same 'turns himself in to the authorities' theory.

But, that it is a long, long, long time before that ever happens. Life is about the journey and not the destination, and I think Oda stresses that philosophy along with some other neat little nuggets of wisdom & morals that he wisely dispenses throughout every arc of this series, especially this current arc.

Ivotas

About the Oda kills only characters in flashbacks, Crocodile did kill those pirates who were plundering the city. Also Gin killed that one marine officer when he entered the Baratie. ItÂ´s just the anime that screwed it up because he followed Fullbody after he left the restaurant.

RedShanks

I don't think Oda would kill off Luffy. It's a children's story after all.

My ideas about Luffy's fate: For me, a pirate king is a paradox in itself. Pirates love freedom, live by their own rules, … - why would they want/have/accept a king?

This means for me, a pirate king is a legend, but not a living person. Luffy can become a pirate king by finding One Piece. But then I would like it like this: When they reach Raftel and find the All Blue, the All Blue is not just some lagoon or some minor area of the Grand Line but a vast unexplored ocean. Raftel/One Piece may be the portal to this ocean. Of course, Luffy does not hesitate but decides to continue his travels on this sea where no other has been sailing before. He is never seen again and becomes the legendary pirate king.

Thedevil

that well be a nce ending but i think they should put 10 years later he comes back and rest in his city until he grows old

nah i doubt it…B)

Lingering? What's the point of being Pirate King if you aren't Pirate King for a while? I don't see why the Pirate age would die just because he becomes king. Instead of going after One Piece, everyone would go after Luffy. I mean, why would anyone want to be Pirate King if the only honorable thing to do is die afterward?

Maybe the hero dying at the end makes for good drama, but I find the hidden message depressing; Once you achieve your life's dream, your life is over.
Who wants a dream then?

He can become a legend without all of that. Gold Roger is without a doubt a legend and he got executed. ;)

:) Thank you. I like to think that the All Blue should play an important role.

My theory is that Luffy going to become the king of pirates but with alot of prices to pay. He might have to bury one of his crewmates,he might have to kill Shanks and return the straw hat on Shanks' s grave, he might learn how to beat the curse of the devil fruit and learn how to swim and get either 1 of his legs or arms chop off by a sea monster. Finally, he might have to destroy a village fill with innocent people in it.
