The Straw Hat Pirates, known for their strength and recent rise to Yonko status, stand out in One Piece. Their victories over formidable foes like former Yonko Kaido and their current clash with Navy forces, including Admiral Kizaru and Elder Saturn, highlight their prowess.
As the series progresses towards its conclusion, the crew’s roles under Captain Monkey D. Luffy become crucial in their pursuit of individual dreams alongside the overarching goal of finding Laughtale.
Eiichiro Oda, the series creator, once envisioned the consequences of the crew failing to realize their aspirations, offering insight into their potential future if dreams remain unfulfilled.
What Will Happen If Luffy Fails to Find One Piece?
When Luffy embarked on his journey, he sought companions to help him achieve his dream of becoming the King of the Pirates. Along the way, he encountered individuals who would form one of the most remarkable crews in One Piece. Each member harbored their own aspirations.
Zoro aimed to become the world’s greatest swordsman, while Nami aimed to map the entire globe. Usopp dreamed of becoming a renowned sea warrior, and Sanji yearned to discover the All Blue.
Chopper aspired to become a doctor capable of curing any illness, while Robin sought to uncover the mysteries of the Void Century.
Franky aimed to construct a ship capable of reaching Laughtale, and Brook sought a reunion with Laboon. Jinbe endeavored to end discrimination against Fish-Men.
Despite none having achieved their dreams yet, they are steadily progressing towards them. With the series nearing its final saga, hopes are high that they will soon realize their ambitions.
In the One Piece SBS section, Eiichiro Oda responded to fan questions, illustrating how the Straw Hat Pirates might look in their later years under two scenarios: one where they achieve their dreams and one where they don’t. @Gol-D-Air shared these renditions on YouTube.
At 40, Luffy resembles Shanks, but at 60, he takes on a likeness to Garp. In the tragic version, he appears as an eccentric old man. Zoro’s appearance remains largely unchanged, resembling Rayleigh, but in the alternate reality, he appears much older and without hair.
Sanji resembles his mentor Zeff, but in an alternate reality, he resembles his father Judge.
Nami and Robin’s appearances remain unchanged, appearing youthful. In the alternate scenario, Nami resembles Big Mom and Robin resembles Kureha. Usopp takes on traits of his father Yasopp, while in the parallel version, he resembles Crocus.
Franky maintains an acceptable appearance in both scenarios. Brook and Jinbe’s aged appearances were not depicted, and Chopper resembles a Bigfoot in the alternate reality.
