I wanted to make a thread about
"what makes Luffy so interesting character/his leadership abilities and how he is different from other shonen protagonists out there?" ....I am trying to gather information from various sources...
meanwhile guys in this club...please let me know what is it you like most about Luffy and mention some of his good qualities....
for me, one unique thing is that occurrence of events in OP is because of choices he makes instead of pre-destined fate...and he is not a hero that fights for the goodness of people...most of the fights he picked up against any villains of OP is not for some greater good or world peace but for small reasons...
ex: he wanted to fight doffy because Rebecca offered him food, he fought Crocodile just for Vivi and Arlong for Nami, he went against World Government just to get back one nakama etc.
