People who want Hancock in the Straw Hats clearly miss the whole point of One Piece.
If she joined the crew, let alone married Luffy, she would constantly try to control him. She would only focus on Luffy instead of the entire crew.
Assuming Hancock achieves her goal of marrying Luffy despite the significant age gap, it is obvious she will undergo a massive personality shift, mirroring Chi-Chi's transformation in Dragon Ball. Rather than staying a submissive, infatuated sidekick, Chi-Chi immediately began trying to control and manipulate Goku post-marriage.
That same transformation would happen to Hancock as well. I think deep down, Luffy knows this, which is why he would never marry her. Plus, considering the age difference, it would be the equivalent of Mei Terumi or Tsunade marrying Sasuke from Naruto. Their dynamic would obviously change after marriage; the real, domineering Hancock would show herself and try to control and limit Luffy's freedom.
Resisting Hancock’s ultimate beauty is incredibly difficult.
Yet, it serves as a crucial test that both Luffy and Teach managed to pass:
I think Joy Boy probably failed because of his relationship with Queen Lili, mirroring what happened to Xebec, Oden, and Kuma.
If Joy Boy and Lili were in love, the World Government could have used her as a hostage. We saw Xebec fail because of his family, Oden get tricked by a hostage situation, and Kuma break over Ginny.
Oda is clearly sending a message through Dragon, who explicitly stated that children are a parent's ultimate vulnerability:
"Keep going if you want to see me killed. Children are a vulnerability for any parent."
Ultimately, this highlights why Luffy and Blackbeard are uniquely positioned to succeed; their absolute freedom means they cannot be manipulated through familial weakness. Even Dragon himself acts as a historical witness to this rule, sacrificing his own family life to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
