He was such a lil hater
he brings them anywhere
I love the practicality of Luffys crew
Like from a tactical sense; Luffy as captain is immune to blunt attacks and is fairly adept at hand to hand contact being absolutely feral. His biggest (and most obvious) weakness is that he is susceptible to slashing attacks. So he’s got 2 choices, learn how to sword fight OR get a really good swordsman, so he picks up a guy who just happens to WANT to be the greatest swordsman.
Cool, next weakness of Luffys (from a capture/arrest/ damage perspective) is distance attacks. Yes he’s immune to bullets and cannon balls but a sneak attack or a bullet aimed above/near him would be a good choice, so he then picks up a sharpshooter. And not just any, this one is the son of a commander of an emperor of the Sea…who also happens to be the best sharpshooter.
Next Luffy is not the best at specialized hand to hand combat. Sure he’s able to carry his own for a long way but waves of marines means special forces and eventually even Luffy is going to run into someone who could pose a problem due to energy expenditure, so he picks up a cook who happens to be the protege of a captain who sailed the grand line and was renouned for his special fighting techniques (plus bonus long lost family powers)
Then to round it off, he picks a navigator who has fought pirates/marines her whole life, who can read the water and wind in a way that even fish men envy and who can provide you with the best path of escape each and every time. Not to mention she has some hand to hand combat skills + wind/weather powers to create some specialized sneak/power attacks
Just…from a marine/ tactical standpoint, I’d be shitting myself from just East Blue Crew alone. Not to mention a doctor from island of doctors who can speak to animals and turn into a giant monster, an archeologist who can read the secrets your government spent 800 years hiding and who grew up an assassin, a shipwright who not only trained under the man who built the previous pirate kings ship but who also doubles as an armoury whenever needed, an 8ft sword wielding skeleton who can summon attacks from hell and a literal rogue warlord who happens to be the strongest fishman still in universe (thus far) in a world that heavily depends on devil fruit users to keep piece. And that’s not including all Luffys allies over his journey…
Like damn…no wonder people dub him a 5th warlord. Half his crew alone causes a shit ton of damage (dressrosa, WCI) so I’m REALLY excited for Wano to be a game changer in how the world sees this little, goofy, but terrifyingly competent pirate crew
I think it would be a lot of fun if Rick were forced to help Birdperson raise his daughter one way or the other.
The boys personalities, as told by the boys themselves
