ODA admits that Luffy's crew was originally a villain

It's hard to find many One piece Fans who do not relieve pirates of a straw hat. This dear dose of characters was accompanied by Luffy on his way to become the king of the Pirates for hundreds of chapters and episodes, but because of how extremely they were in their personalities and combat styles, that is, each fan will have its own personal favorite. While the straw hats can fall out so often, none of them have ever left the crew to eventually become villains, but they seem to be much more antagonistic if Eiichiro Oda has gone through its original plan.

Given how large and ambitious One piece It is like a story, it means that ODA should plan a lot before it officially began to draw, and in specifically the straw hats, he revealed some quite revealing information about how they were originally intended to completely differ from how the fans know them today. Although it is good that an extremely talented author has decided to make them much more friendly and heroic over time, these comments make it easier to think about what straw hats would be if they were really bad, especially with regard to that it almost turned out to be a case.

Straw hats originally will be villains

After injury they would join Luffy

• Like classic jrpgs

• Oda decided that the idea would not be so realistic

• Most straw hats ended much more pleasant

In 2018, Eiichiro Oda was interviewed as part of the Japanese media channel to talk about popularity One piece And where it went in the future. While this conversation is full of interesting questions and answers, it is especially revealing when the interviewer asks Oda, why the story was moving at such a rapid pace, especially after Timeskip.

While ODA admits that it is mainly because the characters he has created now have their own will, which he sometimes hardly controls, stops for a while before he gets deep about how he intended to meet the straw hats before the story. According to Oda, Luffy's future roommates wanted villains who joined adventure only after being defeated and saw their travel mistakes. In fact, he even compared this idea to a video game, where he became a very common trop, especially in JRPG.

He continues to admit that it would simply not be so realistic, because most people would probably not feel inclined to become a servant for a person who just destroyed their livelihood and reputation, which honestly makes a lot of sense. While some of the straw hats could act a little hostile to Luffy when they first met him, everyone quickly warmed up to their captain after spent several hours riding with him along the sea, but said there were some members who still tried to introduce themselves as villains when they first showed up in the story.

Robin and Franks were initially smaller antagonists

ODA seems to have not completely fired its original idea

Although it is clear that ODA eventually decided to take a different approach when Luffy gathered his crew, he did not cancel the idea that straw hats were completely villains. Specifically, Robin and Franks are two members who actually began in their relevant story as smaller antagonists. For Robin, she was originally an accomplices of the insidious tyrant known as a crocodile. At that time, Robin cared very little about going on any great adventure, given that she became a cold and cruel individual because of all the suffering she had experienced by the destruction of her home island, Ohara.

In the case of Franky, Kbororg was simply obsessed by looking good in front of his family, so much that he would eventually cause many problems for straw hats, especially Usopp because they walked with water 7.

Although the two perhaps were not the main villains, it was still a secret that they were directly against Luffy and his crew for some reason, at least to start. As already mentioned, Luffy is a captain who is simply impossible to hate, which is just one of the reasons for him to collect the crew of so many powerful individuals without having to give them money or treasure.

Luffy's tricks to pick up new friends

There are many reasons why he is so talented when he calls people to his side

• Luffy has an infectious optimism that inspires others

• His strength makes him a captain they can rely on

• Being a member of the clan D fascinates some of the straw hats

The most visible reason why Luffy has talent to persuade people to join his crew is simply his endless optimism. Most people in One piece They tend to look at the world in pessimistic light, since it is not so nice in the place where you can live when the world government and marines constantly carry out their own selfish deeds. Luffy, however, has this child enthusiasm that convinces others to look at things with a more positive approach, and convinced them to watch their dreams, no matter how difficult it may seem at first.

Another main reason why Luffy managed to control such authority is how powerful he is like a warrior. Luffy does not care to be honest or correct in the fight, simply use his rubber body to throw giant blows and kicks to overcome anyone who is treated unfairly. In the case of characters like Nami and Robin, Luffy managed to take advantage of his strength to liberate them from his prisoners and give them the opportunity to live a free life along the open sea.

There is also a somewhat strange reason why some straw hats have expressed interest in Luffy, and it is because he is a member of the clan D. ODA was very secret about what the initial actually means, but it is clear that it is something that scares the world government to their core. The whole reason Robin decided to save Luffy from Whirlpool's sand in Alabasta was that he was a member of the clan D, but also became the theme of Fascination Jinbei, who joined the straw hats a little later in the story. Needless to say, there are a number of reasons why Luffy is considered a good captain, and has allowed him to become one of the most powerful pirates in the world, of which the world government is absolutely fossible.
