Discussion Luffy will die when One piece ends.

[Bobbina]

I dont believe he will die from disease nor gear2/gear3/ivankov's treatment. I bet, like Roger, he will execute himself with a truce with WG or something. I highly predict that he will go willfully, like Roger. Oda is a genius, and i think the best stories are ones that have a sacrifice, like the protagonist dying, and leave u off on a cliffhanger, (painful,but enjoyable) and leave u off to decide what comes next or the ones that end with the beginning. Luffy dies as King, and inspires more good pirates. (unsavage, caring ones. Like Garp said about Roger, "his actions were as pure as a baby's)

"To me, the ending will be Luffy and strawhats reaching Raftel. After waiting a while for the log pose to change he then tells his crew to turn back and they'll start another adventure - this time using a different route from the one they used (you know how there are multiple routes possible?) and a new adventure begins! And that will be the end. This also thus leaves open for a million fan-based continuations of the story.
Either that or upon arriving at Raftel they find a ponygleph that tells them that One Piece is back at East Blue or something like that where Roger was born. So then they'll experience new adventures using a different route."
I dont think this will happen, if Luffy starts a new journey, it wouldnt be fun, as he would be the strongest man already. Good idea, a new adventure, but unlikely, as half the appeal of the story is from the way the characters grow and evolve

"I've always thought that One Piece wouldn't be the standard large amounts of gold type treasure (although that should be part of it), but what really got me was Whitebeard's words about how Teach wouldn't be the one to "meet Roger" and carry on his will. Which makes me think that One Piece also has to do with the Will of D.

That being said, I would absolutely rage if Oda-sensei killed off Luffy. Yes it would be totally out of left-field at that point, but I can't for the life of me see why he would do it. Killing Luffy after everything just seems mean-spirited at that point."
If Luffy turns himself in, then would it reduce ur rage? i mean, Luffy seems like that, proven when Buggy was gonna kill him. I agree, One Piece has to do with the Will of D. I dont think One Piece is a solid object at all. Maybe the pride of conquering the grand line? something corny or something. The freedom Luffy was wishing for? And it is confirmed well nearly, that there is actual solid gold treasure, since Roger was stating that he left his wealth and stuff there. What i dont see is Shanks dying, since Luffy must return his hat.

How can he die when he is the one whitebeard stated in his prophecy... the man who will carry the will of D or was it the people on his back and destroy the WG

 

[Bobbina]

like i said a truce? Destroying the Wg then dying? Oda is a man who has many characters, many stories, many paths, many legacies. All things must tie up in the end, the will of die, the death of Roger,One Piece itself, The Void Centuy, etc. Oda seems to be someone who makes the end the beginning. How average it would be to have Luffy win, the WG destroyed and it ends. Wouldn't it be excited and grand and unique if Luffy dies? Ending with the beginning. The problem with stories are that they are predictable, and end with everything happy. Thats why i like stories that end with the beginning of another, one with sacrifice, or once with peace and everyone winning. Those are unexpected, new, thrilling. And Roger's last words? "I will never die" This meant that as long as piracy existed, as long as people carried out Roger's legacy. It'd be "Romantic" to have it end like that

 

[Schabrak]

If a death is predictable, it's a bad plot device. You certainly haven't seen/read many Anime/Manga, to not realize that "The Hero Dies" is an already overused cliche/trope. Who wants to see him die? For what reason, just that somebody else can go onto the same path he did? What reason would he have to let other people suffer through the things he had to? Haven't you realized that Luffy is the the One Roger was searching for, the one after 800 years of suffering to create a world at peace? That's the theme Oda was hinting to the whole time, revealed in fully at Whitebeards death, the climax of the current story. Luffy dying for the same reason Roger did, would give a very foul aftertaste. He doesn't have to die to encourage a new generation of pirates, that's what his haki is for. IMO you didn't understand the plot of One Piece.

 

[Bhoot]

uh if its his organs being harmed , cant Franky just turn Luffy into a Cyborg hybrid or something like what he did to himself??So luffy will lose some of his rubberyness , but he will stull live and guide his crew like a true captain should

 

[Rikudou Sennin]

Luffy wont die. At the end of One Piece, the world will totally be different than it is now.

The world goverment will be good. Everybody will know about the black century and luffy will be seen as the pirate king who is responsible for the stability of the seas, together with the new build world goverment.

 

[Bobbina]

Well, if he does live, Oda needs to get some way to end the story. Just becoming the pirate king, destroying the WG isnt enough. it needs to be expressive, needs to be interesting. I don't necessarily completely believe that Luffy's gonna die, but i dont know how else Oda is gonna end it. I think he will, but he probably won't. Oda is just that good. Its true what u said, Schabrak, but do u believe that the world WONT be at piece if luffy dies? And what if before he dies, he says something, or does something. The only way the world can be at peace is if the WG and piracy come to an agreement. If the WG is just destroyed, Pirates will just ravage the world,if piracy is destroyed, then the WG would corrupt even further. WG is evil, no doubting it, but most pirates are greedy, selfish and violent. Can the world really come to peace if the WG is destroyed? The end of piracy and WG? Luffy's death would symbolize the end of the pirate era, and probably somehow the end of WG. Either WG and Piracy are demolished, or altered, otherwise the worlds gonna end. Luffy is gonna put an end to the war, to the WG's policies. Luffy is gonna haft to do something to get them to agree. And what's the point of prediction threads if we dont predict the big things? Besides, the fact that many of us believe that this is predictable, which makes us change sides to believe he will live, means that in the end, they still dont predict it. U see, thats the problem with trickery. U thinnk its a trick, but then u think its not cuz its too obvious, and thats then u think that wait, maybe hes trying to make me think that this is too obvious, and u change again. And then u change again. Thats the problem with predicting twists. U just end in a paradox and dont know what the hell is right. so thats why u just stick to ur gut feeling and go with it. At first i thought "Luffy's gonna get executed." But then i was skeptical. But now, here i am, arguing about what i think is the truth. That's why Life is so effing annoying

Woah thats some WOT...


Luffy will not die when OP ends.If he does history will repeat itself.Just like Gol D Roger.And what?There will be a Two Piece? XD
So im guessing that Luffy as the pirate king will come to an agreement with the WG for peace or something like that.
OR he will destroy the whole WG and a new power of justice will rise.Maybe it would be the revolutionaries LOL

 

[kidopitz27]

after luffy became the PK he will become a shichibukai or the SH will become the star elders? and use that rank to hunt down bad pirates

 

[marko71]

I don't think that Luffy will die, like someone said, repeated history? nah.

Shanks will die, for sure, in front of Luffy I guess, and Luffy will fight Blackbeard, not only the WG.

 

[MaiSiaoSiao]

Doesn't that means that there will be another empty yonkou spot?Whitebeard spot was enough to crumble the peace already.Now shanks?

 

[Bobbina]

Throughout the second half, there will be people evolved enough to have taken the other Yonkou spot. I dont think SHanks dies either but uh..... -.- anyway,btw what is "WOT"?

 

[starkaos]

Luffy will die after he helps his nakama realize their dreams. Zoro will become the greatest swordsmen, Sanji will find All Blue, Brooks will meet Laboon again, Robin will learn the true history, Franky will finish creating his dream ship and Ussop will become a brave warrior of the sea. I am not sure if we will see Chopper and Nami complete their dreams since it is doubtful that Chopper will cure any disease since there is no cure for stupidity and Nami won't map the entire ocean since she would have to either compile the maps from a bunch of navigators that took a different route or take numerous journeys to Raftel to produce a map of the Grandline and New World.

There is also the choice that Luffy will have to make at Raftel that Roger had to make. Luffy might be the person that Whitebeard talked about that would fulfill the Will of D. So even after Luffy reaches One Piece it is the end. However, I don't think that Roger's treasure is at Raftel. Since One Piece is all about the most important treasures are intangible like friends. Therefore, Roger's treasure is Portgas D. Rouge and Portgas D. Ace. I also think that One Piece is some troubling item that would shake the world if it would ever to become public knowledge or used. I would not be surprised if Luffy's dream and Robin's dream are the same thing since Roger couldn't act on the true history so let someone of the next generation to act on it.

Luffy probably won't die. I think the manga will end with him revolutionizing the world, and the structure that it currently holds. Giving power to the people of the world, not a few "elite" who have been given the right from birth, or due to inheretence.

After words living a live similar to how Rayleigh lives now.

Unless they end One Piece in a completely idiotic way like Luffy become the immortal guardian of the World, then Luffy will die. It is just a matter of will they show Luffy's death in the manga or will it happen after the manga ends. Although you are probably right about how the manga will end. It seems to me that the current government reflects Monarchy and the Revolutionaries represent Democracy since Dragon is all about free will.

 

[i_Hollowfied]

Luffy won't die... Reason: The point of One Piece is for Luffy to become The King of the Pirates and to do better the Roger did... Luffy will find a way to control his gears and after time his body will be able to keep up... Yes people in One Piece say to him that he is going to die but people also say that he is going to live and become the Pirate King... I haven't watched an anime yet where at the end the main character dies, not gonna happen so stop dreaming he's not dying until he's old and bent out of shape

P.S, Some people are thinking to far ahead lol

 

[Bhoot]

I am pretty sure that Chopper will surpass Roger's Doc by making a cure for the uncurable disease hence saving Luffy and also making his dream come true [if he can do it , he will be considered as the best Doc]

Another thing i m guessing it that the final battle will be b/w Luffy and Dragon . Dragon will take over the WG and ask Luffy to quit being defiant . But because Luffy will refuse we get to see Father v/s Son

 

[Geez]

I'm not so fan of " they married and lived happily forever after...".
Sure, Luffy is not repeating Roger's story, but the kind of legend he's gonna be doesn't live long, in particular when you destroy your body the way he does. Even if chopper will become the greatest doctor, i guess Luffy will live for a year or so after he becomes PK

 

[pizzaslicepwnu]

I think in the end of one piece luffy after a huge battle against WG ( and maybe RA is they turn out to be bad) he will just disapear(and only his crew will know he is alive, not where he is ) and just go to a peacefull island and find an aprentice to teach all he knows.
so he will sort of die , at least the world will think that.... he isnt dead, but the world thinks he is (not his crew), the world is a better place and everyone is happy xD

 

[Zehahaha]

I don't want Shanks to die. I want him to see Luffy become the PK. Ace already died and can't see Luffy accomplish his dream, so killing Shanks would be a bit too much. But maybe BB will attack Shanks and somehow injure him way too much, and then Luffy will go kicking his ass.

And also, I don't want Luffy to die, I don't want to see the same thing that happened with Roger
