Why do we need everything from Luffy to be special in some way? Why can't Oda leave behind one of most boring and uninspired tropes in Japanese stories and not turn his character into the chosen one? For real, I hope he's just playing with us and with completely shift from that direction somehow, like Luffy learning about Joy Boy, prophecies, etc. yet ignoring it because his actions can't be determined as he's a free man.
