Questions & Mysteries If Luffy died at the marineford war, would the strawhats still reunite after the timeskip? And how far would they get?

In NW you either go against yonkos or submit to them. Good to know usopp will become Kaido's bitch :gokulaugh:
Again, idk if this is true. Crocodile was just chilling in the NW until cross guild I believe.

Nobody fulfills their dream except maybe Brook, that goes without saying…even if Luffy isn’t the one who’s gone missing. The whole point of the SHs is that they need each other to thrive, the type of codependency that you can romanticize. They will pretty much lack identity and purpose as a crew, and will fail prey to some big shot at some point.

Dressrosa is pretty much impossible since I don’t think they’ll form an alliance with Law, maybe they can escape though. WCI with Katakuri and BM, that should realistically be the end of the ropes.
I think, maybe if no Luffy Fujitora could stop Doffy, or at least let Sabo do so? But yeah, I think WCI is impossible

They would probably reunite, but most certainly in the original intended time (3 days). They obviously wouldn't be strong enough enough to make it in the New World, so they would need a bit of luck to strive there. Plus, there could be probably a split between them, as Sanji would never accept Zoro as a captain and vice-versa.

  • Zoro would probably try to keep up with his dream, with the rest of the strawhats or alone, but he would probably fail sooner or later (he isn't good with directions and his pre-skip version would've trouble against many of the New World's dangers). Considering Zoro's personality and drive, he would 100% meet death;
  • Nami would either be under Zoro or Sanji, or would end up staying in Weatheria in the best-case scenario for her. If she continues pursuing her dream, she would probably end up dead IMO (even with Zoro and Sanji alongside her) or, at the worst-case scenario, enslaved like she was by the Arlong Pirates;
  • Usopp IMO is the one that would probably go back to his homeland (Syrup Village), as he intended to do after fighting Luffy in Water 7. Luffy was his inspiration to go to the sea, so without him I doubt that he would continue. If he continued with his adventure, he would probably end up dead like the others;
  • Sanji would continue his adventure or would return to the Baratie, but would eventually be captured by Germa 66 (or a Big Mom's subordinate) and be forced to marry Pudding, just as happened in the story (however, he would 100% end up dead in this alternate timeline);
  • Chopper is an unknown for me. He seems to be closer to Robin, so he might stick up with her. As a result, he has a high chance of ending up dead too;
  • Robin is a tough one due to her status, but she has one good scenario for her: staying with the revos. If she stays with them, she has a good chance of surviving at least until the final battle between the revos and the WG. If she ends up with the rest of the strawhats, she probably dies or get captured by someone (either the WG or a Yonko crew, probably). There's also a slim chance of all the strawhats joining the revos due to the Robin's connection, but I don't think they would align with most of the strawhats' dreams;
  • Franky will probably tag along with the rest of the crew (or at least one of them), so he has a pretty high chance of dying early in the New World;
  • Brook is probably the same as Franky. He has a slim chance of going backwards after Laboon though;
  • Jinbe would never join the strawhats. They probably wouldn't even meet each other in Fishman Island and he would probably have to go solo against Hody and his army, as Fishman Island arc just happens 2 years after Marineford. If he manages to protect Fishman Island on his own, he probably survives to old age.

In the hypothetical scenario where all of them train 2 years like the actual story and return to Sabaody under Zoro's leadership, they would probably die at Dressrosa (or, if they didn't follow the original path, at the first time they face a Yonko crew). None of the strawhats besides Luffy were strong enough to face DoFlamingo at the their Dressrosa versions IMO.
  • Return to Sabaody would go like in the manga, no problems here;
  • Fishman Island would never happen, they would just pass there untroubled as Hody was still making the preparations to take Fishman Island. Shyarly could possible predict their deaths and dispirit some of them (lol).;
  • Punk Hazard could be the end of the line already, it all depends on if they ally with Law or not. I feel that under Zoro they wouldn't form an alliance with Law, so they would need to escape Punk Hazard in order to survive (they wouldn't be able to defeat Law + Caesar + Vergo + Smoker + all of Punk Hazard's forces). Momonosuke and Kin'emon would probably die here;
  • If they survived Punk Hazard, Dressrosa would be surely the end. None of them would be able to defeat DoFlamingo, even if they allied with Law. The Grand Fleet also wouldn't be formed.
Interesting, but would Sanji really not accept Zoro as captain? I don´t think Sanji is interested in any official leadership role or anything. And ofc, the two dont actually hate eachother lol, they saw eachothers loyalty and commitment in thriller bark. Wrt allying with Law, Zoro was the only one who thought it was cool that they were going against a yonko, so I think it could still work out

Everyone would be better off

Zoro would go off on his own and fight swordsman instead of having to ass kiss luffy

Sanji would just shill.for Nami

Nami would try to become pirate queen Robin, brook, Chopper, Franky would all follow her

Usopp would do his own thing no longer having to rely on others he'd go grow stronger

Luffy keeps them all back with his selfishness
Shut the fhck up

They would not reunite.
Zoro would probably keep training on Gloom Island until he becomes ready to take on Mihawk.
Or he would go back to hunting pirates, looking for powerful people to fight in order to grow and take on Mihawk.
Nami would probably stay in Weatheria.
Usopp would probably go back to his village.
Sanji would return to Baratie.
Chopper would go back to Drum Island.
Robin would remain with Revolutionary Army and help them as much as she can against WG.
Franky would return to Water 7 and help Iceberg.
Brook would continue his concerts.
Jinbe would remain an ally of BMPs.

I don't think he would... he barely accepted Luffy btw. Yeah, they don't hate each other but Sanji also don't think Zoro is someone worthy of being his captain (and vice-versa), it's simple as that.

This entirely depends on who the new captain is and whether the new captain catches up to luffy

The one piece world works under the the logic that if a character REALLY REALLY REALLY needs to get stronger, they will get stronger if they have the willpower to do so

so as long as as the new captain has the willpower to match whatever fight they have informs of themselves, the strawhats will eventually become a Yonko crew… It may not take the same amount of time but it will eventually happen
