Characters who are undeniably better than him

Zoro
Mihawk
Rayleigh
Doflamingo
Crocodile
Law
Nico Robin
Whitebeard
Shanks
Akainu
Fujitora
Aokiji
Kuma
Ace
@Blackbeard (Though Oda has come very close to fucking him up)

Characters who I like more than Luffy (other than the ones mentioned)
Kizaru
Usopp
Daz Bones
King the Wild Fire
Jack the Drought

So no I don't think he's top 10

God, noโ€ฆhe is so awful. Just a one dimensional static character whoโ€™s whole identity is him failing to remember anyoneโ€™s name and screaming about being the Pirate King.

And then thereโ€™s of course the Nika fruit which irreparably fucked most of Odaโ€™s world building, the fact that the Gorosei let a literal child run around with a mythical fruit that has evaded them for 800 years but never sent one assassin or cipher Pol agent to kill him while he was young and weak, but only attempted to prevent him from awakening the fruit by the time he fought Kaido was just so atrocious.

Fairy condom is easily one of the shittiest aspects of this story if not the single shittiest.

No
That guy doesn't get any consequences for everything what he done
Constantly take his crew to dangers
Get power up just because somebody crying
Using plot armor just like natsu

Everybody loves the guy even though that he is not that good person
Where is luffy character development? Every beginning an arc he always come back for what he was before

Lol. He is easily the worst character in OP. One piece without Luffy will have better tension, world building, believability, and power scaling.

Luffy is just a walmart version of Buggy. Basically, he is just a stupid child just got lucky to have everything destined and equipped to be the pirate king. In orther word, everyone who has nika fruit, luck, and lineage similar to luffy will be able to accomplish the same thing no matter how dump they are.

What there is of "top well-written character" in a retarded boy who want to create a world where everything is always goody-goody?
Absolutely nothing. He is a character that only appeal to dumb teenages and retarded grown-asses.
A example of well-written protagonist is Caesar the chimpanzee from Planet of the Apes's 2011 reboot. He has a genius-level intellect,is very serious and still have a golden heart,he accept the world just as harsh as it is and died a glorious death after live a glorious life.

I think top 10 by OP standards. One can argue top 5 but I donโ€™t think heโ€™s better written than:

Sanji
Robin
Law
Whitebeard
Wyper

Honestly, I think even Momo was a better written character.

My definition of a good character, is a character who goes through character development and doesn't get handed everything to him/her for free. Luffy is the opposite of character development lol. He is the same static character doing the same cut and paste formula antics he has been doing since chapter 1. It was fun the first few hundred chapters but after Marineford you would expect him to grow as a character but instead he has regressed.
