But isn’t the whole idea supposed to be Luffy succeeding where JoyBoy could not? If JoyBoy died because of the fruit and wasn’t able to suceed with what he said then Luffy is most likely going to do the exact opposite of that to show that he’s true joyboy/hero.
Luffy dying just mirrors the same 2 characters we see and will see in flashbacks of Joyboy and Roger. Luffy is supposed to surpass them in every aspect. One of those aspects is clearly by not dying
Not really. Joyboy and Roger did not defeat the WG. Joyboy likely lost before the Void Century. Roger was too early.
Luffy dying in the EoS after everything ends (and his last fight) is very much in line with a young pirate like him coming through like a storm and staving the world in his wake.
The way Luffy survives is his crew, his living wills. This is how I prefer to interpret where the story is going until we know more.
You are talking to to someone who believes the story will end exactly how it began though, Luffy and Shanks, returning the hat (this is based on huge theories with Shanks and his motivations, wont get into this now). One last major fight between them that in the end, even if Luffy wins, may end up killing him by the end of the story.
All I'm saying is to wait and see what consequences arise from this "heartbeat" reviving him repeatedly. It's done it already twice, just wait a another month or 2 until the fight is over and we know what happens to him
