What if luffy’s is supposed to mirror in a way joyboy’s original group? There’s luffy as captain and his 9 senior officers. Joyboy was probably similar especially with how common the number 9 is
- Luffy has 9 senior officers
- Shanks has 9 officers
- Blackbeard has 10 titanic captains but if one leaves thats 9
- Kaido had 3 all stars + 6 tobiroppo aka 9 main men
- There are 9 supernova captains
- Oden had 9 red scabbards
To start off I think luffy’s main fighter might mirror the ancient weapons users. Not in personality or role but their origins
- Luffy = joyboy (the suns)
- Jinbe = fish man island = Shirahoshi
- Zoro = wano = momonosuke
- Sanji might have connections to the lunarian through either Sora or judge. I think they might’ve had ties to Uranus
Chopper = mink = zou tho
