I've noticed a consistency between the direction Luffy lunches his enemies with his final attack and who ends up coming around to his side. By his side, I just mean they don't hate Luffy anymore, or even like him.
Luffy is the sun god, and is represented as the sun, even sunflower according to Oda, which all things in the solar system revolve around. So this is why people (and the story) resolve around Luffy.
So what I've noticed is that each enemy that Luffy has launched into the sky, or I suppose more accurately the Sun, has come around to his side. Playing on the fact that he's the sun and launching them into the sun show's them a new light or something. Alvida, Buggy, Wapol (soon), Crocodile, ect... Each of them hated Luffy until after he defeated them by launching them into the sky.
And on the reverse of this, everyone that Luffy has launched into the ground, Don Krieg, Arlong, Doflamingo, Kaido, will not come around to Luffy's side. They we're not shown a new light. They will just remain obstacles removed from Luffy's path.
That's it.
Luffy launches you into the sun, you become his friend. Luffy launches you into the ground, you remain his enemy.

Additional theories:
- Luffy's final attack on Imu will launch them into the ground, the red line at marijoa, destroying it, and fishman island, and therefor creating the all blue (common theory).
- Luffy's the sun and his attacks are starting to represent that using the word "dawn". Garps attacks are galaxy names. So Dragons are going to be solar named. Son (Sun), father (Solar), grandfather (galaxy)
