Speculations Who Will Get The Strawhat next?

[Yoho]

I believe The infamous strawhat has had a long journey throughout the years a journey I think may have started with joyboy at some point in 800 years Roger found it and it eventually made its way over to Luffy

Now my question is who will Luffy pass the hat onto?

Many candidates

Tama
Bonney
Makino's son
His future child
One of the big headed Punk hazard kids

I think of the options listed from most to least likely would go

Bonney- she looks up to him and wants to imulate him, and he's already playing a mentor like Role showing her how to properly throw a punch 👊 and it's a popular theory she'll become a straw hat cabin girl

Tama- the second most likely If I recall correctly Luffy already promised Tama he'll take her with hin one day whenever he does he may let her hold on to the hat (tho Ace promised the same thing and he ended up dying)

Makino's son- he'll definitely be growing up hearing stories of the famous strawhat Luffy who used to come go his moms bar and look up to him imagine his shock when His mom dust off the strawhat

His future child- maybe he'll keep it in the family tho it's highly likely he'll die eos so we'll see

Big headed Punk hazard kids- yeah no way this is the least likely I only put them cause a top 4 is a stupid sounding list

No-one

Blackbeard will destroy that hat

That does sound like something he'd do🤣

He will lose it soon
And He gonna take the one in Mary Geoise & give it to the Person it belongs with (Fulfilling an Old Promise)

The straw hat is the memento of the Sun God's return. Right now the memento is necessary because the world is in an 800-year-long Winter, ever since the previous Sun God disappeared.
By the end of the manga, Laughy/Nika will have completely swept away both the Winter and those who imposed it, and remain as the keeper of the global Summer.
There will be no Sun God after Luffy, so there will be no straw hat to remind people that the god will return one day.

🤔 the only relevant character I can think of who can fit that hat is Shirahoshi

Hmm yeah that's a good point I didn't think of the symbolism the strawhat has
