Some salty fans
Naruto - from the beginning he was portrayed as being dissed by others for lacking talent but he didn't give up. Hardwork was his motto to make up for innate talent. But it changed the moment we learnt he was special from the beginning.
One Piece - Luffy was lucky and special from the beginning. Getting gomu gomu no mi, meeting shanks, Logue town (saved by dragon), everyone seeing Roger in him, Will of D, Alabasta (saved by Robin out of nowhere, and then water droppin on him after he lost to croc second time) and so on. FI literally hinted that Luffy is Joyboy.
Two different narrations of two different mangas.
Yet, you have people screaming this is bad when oda literally put this in front of us for a long time.
Only thing which came out of surprise is Gomu Gomu no mi being special and his awakening being linked to Joyboy

-he always had the ability to turn people into his friends through effort and mutual understanding.
-he was considered to be the maverick of the team, coming up with the most unexpected solutions to the most complicated problems, that's imo is what all his latter development was based upon, on the quest to find up with a solution to end the cycle of pain and hatred.
i could be wrong though, one read is not enough.
