Luffy has always been a toy of destiny.I liked when Luffy was just a normal boy that dreamed with being free instead of him being a toy of the destiny for the sake of the gods
- He should have died at Logue Town, but by coincidence, Dragon appeared to save him.
- Then Smoker almost captured him, then Dragon appeared again - it is impossible to escape that situation without Haki or help.
- He lost to Crocodile like 2-3 times... makes no sense he ever won this fight to be frank.
- Then he just happens to have the perfect DF to counter Enel who would have otherwise defeated him.
- At Enies Lobby, the Merry GO came to life to rescue them, so they could escape a buster call, lol.
- Should never have been able to defeat Moriah... only to turn out that Luffy could absorb Moriah's shadows to become stronger than Moriah.
- Then at Sabaody, he had help from Rayleigh & Kuma (2 people who didn't know the other).
- Ended up being sent to Boa Hancock (Shichibukai), the only person who could get him into Impel Down to rescue Ace... what a coincidence.
- Gets defeated by Magellan's poison only to have the help of the only counter to Magellan's poison, Ivankov - stated 2-3% survival rate.
- Not also forgetting he had all the allies needed to not just get into Impel Down, but escape Impel Down too.
- The ship Luffy used to enter Marineford fell into the only location that was water... they'd be dead had that not been the case.
- You only have to read as far as Impel Down/Marineford to at least see there is a pattern.
- And then the moment Whitebeard told us Roger was waiting for a certain person, the story was almost undeniably a "chosen one" trope.
- After the time-skip in which the SHs get through Fishman Island, Joyboy literally tells us there is a chosen one who will save the world.
You would need to arguably only like the first 95 chapters (end of Arlong Park arc) since that's as close to normal as Luffy has looked... because from then onwards, it's hard to defend any of Luffy's survival as due to his intelligence, strength or planning. Luck can only be a factor so many times before it's not just luck anymore if it's happening every arc.
