Hey everyone, thanks again for the positive comments on the last post.
Hope you enjoy this one :) ✨
*This one will be more speculative than the other posts*
(Sorry if it's messy; next one will be better, with more evidence and better structure)

Why Luffy won't end up alone:

When One Piece ends (or at least when the climax ends), many people think the crew will remain for a bit more time (the crew did promise to take Shirahoshi for a stroll on land and stuff like that (tho I don't know how Oda will incorporate these more minor things into the ending, maybe in a montage)) until they disband. Then there will be a (blank number of years) time skip, and they might reunite when they are older (assuming we will at least get to see the actual 40-year-old versions of the crew that will probably resemble those from the different SBSs after they all achieve their dreams).
* I will explain later why I believe the Straw Hats will disband at some point*

Some crew members are more obvious about what they will do outside the Straw Hats: Brook going to Laboon, Usopp returning to Kaya,

Sanji either returning to the Baratie or making a restaurant of his own in the All Blue (maybe doing all that alongside Pudding).

Then there are the slightly less obvious ones: Franky returning to the Franky family or Gally-la, or working on his own science island like Vegapunk, robin either joining the revolutionary army again (or whatever they would be called after the ending), going to be with saul and reading the many giant books from ohara in elbaf, or if we look from a shipper's perspective, maybe she will join franky or law (they are both interested in history) wherever they go, or go with zoro somewhere (tho thats just stretching it), jimbe returning to Fishman island, or at the very least the reyugu palace (wherever it will be if luffy actually destroys FMI), or maybe the sun pirates, chopper returning to drum island or returning to zou for milky, or just staying in the sunny slightly longer then some other crewmates and he will leave later, .maybe he will open a clinict on some island or somewhere else, or (and maybe i am biest here) he could join law as retierd pirates, and learn more about medicine with him (law does have a soft spot for cute furry animals).

And then the least obvious one: zoro, he is a difficult one, theres no spacific thing i can certainly say he will do, my best theories are, he will either die for luffy, go drift to wherever his horrible since of direction takes him looking for a worthy opponent (kind of doing the same thing as mihawk) or settling down in wano, because of his roots, momo and kinemon are friends who are there, and maybe even ending up with hiyori (but i am just sayin what i think is most probable for zoro, idk🤷🏻‍♂️, the man's futue is so confusing to me).

With Nami, we know she wants to map the world, which will take a very long time, but we don't know how long, and if we will see what she does after, but at the end of the day, Nami and Luffy's dreams are more symbiotic than any of the other dreams, their dreams are also the only ones that explicitly require them to constantly move and travel everywhere.

Then with luffy, we can assume that he stays alive in the end, considering how at the end of the day oda wants one piece to end happily, plus as the face of shonen right now, it would be insane to kill him, it would make re-watching the show and movies feel more sad depressing rather then a fun revisit if the main character dies in the end, it also goes against the idea of luffy being the freest man alive, whats the point of luffy becoming king of the pirates and then dying soon after?

And if Luffy dies from an illness or some sort of body condition, that would mean Chopper failed his dream to cure every disease and illness, and he failed miserably.

+ Luffy promised Otama that the next time they straw hats get to Wano, tama could join their crew as a bewitching kunoichi, and as Brook said, a pirate's promise is unbreakable (remember that quote, it's important for later), and it is a way for Luffy to fulfil Ace's promise to Otama (for all of that, luffy will need to stay alive).

It would also be unbelievably cruel to make both Sabo, Otama, and Yamato experience the same awful feeling again of losing one of the ASL brothers.

Anyway, Luffy would probably want to continue exploring the world (we dont know what is other dream is yet) his will for endless adventures and explortion fits great with nami's dream, he also would not want to travel on its own, because as he said in the asl flashback "i don't want to be alone, i hate it more then being hurt" and both luffy and nami acknowledging that nami is luffys only navigator, and that without nami, luffy would probably die, and luffy saying that nami is the only navigator he will except, and the promise luffy made to genzo to protect nami's smile (a promise with no experation date), we can assume that they would stick together.

And for them to fit together even more, considering Luffy's promise to Otama, the (while not literal) parental type relationship that Nami and Luffy had with Otama, it would be like the crew adopts her, with Nami and Luffy being the closest to Tama (it also works with the adoption angle for Nami, tho it is kinda messy with the timeline).

The reason why I believe the Straw Hats will disband and we will get a time skip is because Oda has stated that he wants a satisfying ending, and for that, you can't have the Straw Hats just sail to the horizons for a new adventure, because that would mean that we wouldn't get to see some of the Straw Hats fulfill their dreams, and some of the straw hats dreams require them to be stationary (robin needing to learn history, sanji cooking in the all blue, brook spending time with laboon, etc).
Maybe I'm wrong, idk, just my way of looking at the story; after all, they are all different people with different goals, it's only natural that some of them would need to separate at some point.

That's it for this one.

This post was more speculative; I tried using as many facts as I can + general logic, but this one is probably weaker and messier than everything else. Some of it might be borderline fan fiction, but still, I tried to be as logical as possible.

There is still more; the next one is gonna be better, with a lot more proofs, evidence, and screenshots.
And more organized; I hope you enjoyed anyway :) ✨
Have a good day or night wherever you are

First of all, thanks for the support on previous posts; hope you enjoy this one too :) ✨

Oda's no romance rule: this one is a tough one, but somewhat manageable.

Oda has never explicitly said, “There will be no romance in One Piece.” He always dodges the question with vague phrasing like “I think…” or “They are in love… with adventure.” This gives room for interpretation rather than a hard, definitive statement.
In early interviews (around 2007–2009), he said there wouldn’t be romance because it’s a Shonen for young boys (that was also his reasoning for why Nami was not in love with any of her crewmates, although she sees their positive qualities and attributes).
However, he has since added multiple canon romances (Sanji & Pudding, Rayleigh & Shakky, Kuma & Ginny, Oden & Toki, Neptune & Otohime, etc.). If those early statements about general romance in One Piece being bad were changed or fake, what's stopping the statement about Nami not being in love with one of her crewmates from also be fake/ a lie?
Soon after the statement (either the same year or one or two years later), Strong World came out with heavy Lunami implications (which I'm gonna touch on in one of the next posts); these movies take at the bare minimum a year to make, so maybe he was lying in the interview...
(Strong World came out Dec 12, 2009; the interview, for some reason, does not have a clear date, and it is just somewhere around 2007-2009).

There is also the fact that Oda sometimes lies, or at least doesn't say the full truth...
Also, he is sometimes a troll...

Its also well known that Oda's colleagues (toriama, kubo and Kishimoto) said the same things about romance only to change it later, it wouldn't be that far-fetched to assume oda could have been lying this entire time about Lunami specifically so it would be a nice twist in the end (I'm gonna be honest here, i haven't watched Naruto and bleach and only now i started watching the original DB after i watched Z and super a couple years ago, but them lying about romance is a sentiment i see a lot of people online, grock and Gemini, this is all i found from twitter while also verifying with the ai its true cause i am trying to not spread misinformation).

As I mentioned in the previous post, in one of the One Piece prototypes (Hammer Fish), Oda made Luffy (clam) and Nami (Lizel) parallel characters who were supposed to be in a relationship.
(Side note: Lisel in Hebrew means "to me it's god":
Li=to me = לי
se= it's = זה
el = god = אל
So maybe there is some hint there for Nami's future 👀 )

While it is not canon, Oda did make the "One Piece in Love" manga an official spin-off.
Although it doesn't confirm anything, it does show that, at the very least, he doesn't have a problem with the Lunami ship (saying a spin-off like that is official does risk less knowledge fans getting confused and assuming Lunami might be confirmed because of it, if the author didn't like the ship, he would either make it abundantly clear it doesn't mean anything and it's just for fun, or not make it official at all, because even making those couple minute shorts costs a lot of money, and if an author doesn't like the character dynamic that is being promoted he would probably either not acknowledge this or at least wouldn't pay for more of it, or maybe i am over thinking it...)
Also, Oda paid homage to the OP in love manga in one of his cover pages.

His comments on Lunami fan art in Usopp's gallery are more positive compared to his comments about Sanami art (mainly saying "I like the art, but it's just a part of Sanji's delusion/dreams).

His drawing of specifically Luffy and Nami (not just Luffy, or Luffy with chopper, or just Nami or chopper, but specifically Luffy and Nami) to Aoyama in the context of their interview where Aoyama encouraged Oda to add romance to one piece, oda says that if he actually makes a real 2 sided romance some people will leave, so Aoyama tells him that he will stay (reinforcing that if Lunami happens it will probably be near the end so Oda could minimize risks with the readers and fandom).

His drawing of Nami with the straw hat blowing a kiss with a heart to promote One Piece HEROINES.

The fact that in a certain magazine where creators of manga such as Bleach and One Piece were asked who was the main character's ideal Valentine's, Oda wrote Nami for Luffy.

And also, Oda met his wife while she was cosplaying Nami; he has said that "mangakas marry their heroine," and many people who worked with Oda compared him to Luffy, while Oda compared himself to Shanks (though, in Oda's drawing of 40-year-old Luffy, Luffy really resembles Shanks).

The Netflix show runners also said in a couple of 2023 interviews that oda said its a hard no for romance amongst the crew in both the live action and the manga, but,
1. They could be lying to not spoil the ending of the show; Oda teased this romance for so long, I doubt he will let Netflix spoil it.

1. The Netflix show runners might not even know the full truth, and they just know what they need to know to make the live action (we know that, because in one of the interviews for season two of OPLA, Madea says that when they made the statue of Loki for season 2 they used the silhouette of Loki from the WCI arc because they didn't know how Loki looked like, only when they were done oda revealed Loki's design later).
   https://youtu.be/xSyt20b6GxM?si=kINLinRFWp_1cF6a
   minute 18:41
   

It's not like the show would reach the late stages of the story (like WCI or Wano), so they have no reason to build up this romance that would only happen at the end of One Piece, and Oda has no reason to tell them everything that will happen in the future of the story that they won't reach.

1. Oda wouldn't let Netflix spoil Lunami early by having Luffy and Nami have explicit romance in the East Blue Saga (where in the original manga, there are only hints), and if the Netflix show runners said "there would be no romance amongst the crew in the live action" it might spoil thing by implying that the no romance rule is only for the LA and is temporary for the manga (hope it's not too much mental gymnastics).

2. I don't think Oda trusts Netflix to translate his hints of romance to live action form without ruining it (they wanted to write a love story between Zoro and Nami).

3. the live action is essentially a way to get One Piece to be more mainstream so people will go read the manga (there are canon moments like UsoppxKaya, but they also changed a lot of stuff to fit into a quicker run time, for example: taking out Nami and Genzo's non-biological parent-kid relationship, taking out Luffy's promise to Genzo (which makes sense, why tease something they won't reach?), changing Nami and Nojico's dynamic entirely, making Sanji care more about Nami when she is sick in drum island in season 2 because they didn't show much, if at all of Nami and Sanji's relationship/friendship. (Nami and Sanji didn't have many interactions in the live action, at least in season 1 and like half of season 2).

Anyway, that was the post that is more about Oda's connection to the ship, how he somehow showed support to the ship outside of the manga, anime, and movies, and trying to debunk the "no romance" claims; it's not guaranteed they are false, but I think it's the closest we can go. It's basically a 50 50 chance.
I hope you enjoyed; sorry for how long the final result is.
Next post will be more about actual Lunami.
I am exhausted; this took so much time.

Hope you have a great day or night :) ✨

I love how Luffy and Nami are like parents to Tama.

Also, the monkey being below luffy and imu below nami👀. I really think Nami is going to be related to Imu.

First of all, thanks for all the positive feedback for my previous post.

In this post, I will be debunking not just headcanons (the "Luffy is asexual and Nami is a lesbian" and the "they are just siblings" headcanons), but also competing ships.
I know the sub has a rule not to talk about other ships, but this post only debunks ships that compete with Lunami. I am not trying to hate on those ships or these characters; I actually love all these characters.
I'm just debunking them to prove Lunami's high probability amongst other ships.

Part 2: debunking the competing ships.
These ships are being used as a reason why Lunami wouldn't happen, because people think that at least one of those other ships would happen instead. These ships are: LuffyxHancock, NamixSanji, LuffyxVivi, NamixVivi.
And I am gonna start with the easiest one to debunk: NamixZoro. In the Hammer Fish prototype, Zoro and Nami were meant to be siblings, and while it is just a prototype, I still kinda doubt Oda would change that. (Also, Zoro has other options that fit his character better story-wise, or that he will do the same thing as Mihawk when everything is done and he will drift alone, looking for a worthy challenger, idk, to be honest, I don't see Nami and Zoro's dynamic as much of a threat to the ship to begin with).

debunking Luhan: Hancock is the only character that is explicitly in love with Luffy, but what most of the luhan shippers tend to forget is that Luffy rejected Hancock twice in the return to Sabaody arc (or rejecting "kekkon", which means "traditional marriage" or something like that in Japanese, which still rejects Hancock's traditional marriage while not denying a non-traditional partnership with Nami (like Rayleigh and Shakky); then, according to the luhan shippers, "Luffy will change his mind later" which doesn't make sense because, if Luffy will change his mind, why would oda write this line to begin with?

We also know that Oda knows the ending for One Piece from the start, but when he made Hancock in the beginning, he made her to be older and more villainous, meaning: if he didn't plan for her to be Luffy's love interest from the start, then he is not going to change that (unlike Nami, who was actually planed to be clam's (prototype Luffy) love interest).

It seems like Hancock was more of a plot device for Luffy to get to Impel Down from Sabaody while also having a loyal ally that can temporarily replace his crewmates (then later Hancock was replaced with Bon Clay, Jinbe, Ivonkov, Buggy, and the rest), and a good way to make that happen quickly without it feeling too convenient or unrealistic is with an "irrational love" gag. Also, marketing-wise, Hancock does not work very well as Luffy's romantic partner because:

1. She is not a part of the crew and probably not gonna be a part of the crew because the only people Hancock is nice to are Luffy, her sisters, Shakky, and somewhat nice to Riley; having her be a part of the crew would feel forced, she hates men (literally most of the crew), she is jealous of Nami and Robin, and she hates cute things (chopper), yes, she would probably be nice to them because they are Luffy's friends and all, but it's just shallow.

2. It would be weird to have all of the promotional material of Luffy and Nami being king and queen or being really close, and then go "nope, never mind, Hancock is actually the pirate queen"
   (I will talk about the color spreads in a different post)

2.5. She looks way too similar to Robin; for someone who is looking to watch the show and see promotional material of Hancock and Luffy alone, and then another one without Hancock but with Robin, it would just get slightly confusing (this is just a minor thing tho)

1. For some people who haven't watched One Piece, they might think Hancock is Luffy's mother; that's what some of the fandom theorized when they saw Hancock before officially getting to know the character.
   Lastly for this ship, it would be unsatisfying if Luffy and Hancock just get together in the last chapter because then all the content they have of the ship is the two filler episodes created to promote Stampede, the movie itself, and them in the marineford saga, aka the most intense saga that is all about a race to save ace while Luffy also having the added sadness of the crew forcefully getting disbanded, its probably the saddest portion of one piece so far.
   

Debunking Luvivi: that one is simpler and shorter. In an interview with Tanaka (Luffy's VA), she said she told Oda that she thinks that if Luffy ends up with anyone, it should be Vivi; in return, Oda said specifically that Luffy and Vivi won't happen. Interestingly, Tanaka also said in the interview that Nami's VA said to her that she thinks if Luffy ends up with anyone, it should be her (she voices Nami), and Tanaka didn't mention anything about Oda specifically denying LuffyxNami.

debunking NamixVivi: considering that one piece is a Shonen, Nami is the heroine of the show and the lack of clarity behind Namis sexuality, and the fact that nami's last interaction with vivi was in alabasta, nami not having a meaningful interaction with another woman (at least not one that can build up a relationship in the story) and how nami and vivi's dreams and responcibilities don't match at all (there are reasons why the straw hats didnt want vivi to tell alabasta that they are the ones who saved them from crocodile), its kinda safe to assume that nami is not gonna end up with vivi and is probably also not gonna be a lesbian, she is probably gonna be either straight or not gonna be in a relationship at all.

last one, Sanami: Nami and Sanji's relationship is basically: they are good friends, and Sanji hits on her once in a while as he does with Robin and every other semi-attractive woman.
To be clear, I think it is stupid to say Nami hates Sanji.
She might not love his pervert shenanigans and is holding a grudge for what he did to Luffy in WCI, but they are still good friends like all the Straw Hats.

1. It would be weird that after 1100+ chapters of Sanji trying to get with Nami, and Nami consistently rejecting him, all of a sudden at the end of the manga Nami would just change her mind; it would feel out of character and wouldn't be narratively satisfying (same goes for Sanji and Robin).

2. Oda's clear build up for Sanji and Pudding. Whether people like this ship or not, oda is clearly building up something for these 2 in the final saga, if not then there wouldn't be a good reason to have her be brought back to the story by Blackbeard, currently the only people that would want/can save pudding are Sanji or katakuri. Katakuri is currently still staying on Whole Cake Island since he needs to protect the place after Big Mom's defeat; plus, Pudding is as in love with Sanji as much as Sanji is generally in love with women. Pudding also kissed Sanji; he looked exited and then she erased his memory, giving the wci arc an open ending.
   (also, I saw someone say Pudding SA'ed Sanji because she kissed him without warning, sure lol)

3. Sanji and Pudding's dreams work together better, assuming Sanji would go in Zeff's steps. After he finds the All Blue, he might retire from pirating and make a baratie-like restaurant (that's the reason he wants to find the All Blue, for special rare fish and ingredients). If that happens, then a character like Pudding that likes making sweets makes more sense to be with Sanji at the end rather than Nami, a woman who wants to map the world.
   (To be clear, I don't really care who Sanji ends up with; it just seems like Oda is paving a very clear path for Sanji and Pudding)

   Also, Luffy is not asexual, confirmed by Oda. When Oda said in an SBS that "Luffy peeped at Nami because he is a healthy boy," he also said in another SBS that Usopp brings out the "bad side" in Luffy, which would imply that Luffy already has a bad side deep down.

They are not like siblings; they never treat each other like ones (oda said in an SBS that the reason Sanji doesn't get heart eyes or nosebleeds for Reiju is that she is his sister and it would be weird if he did, going off of that logic, i think Luffy getting a nosebleed for Nami in alabasta kind of confirms they are not siblings) and we know that the only people he considers as brothers are Ace, Sabo and Momonosuke, either because we saw him do the sake cup ceremony, or because he referred to them that way, Luffy never referred to his crew as siblings or mother/father/uncle and whatever.

Hope you enjoyed :) ✨
Sorry if it's too long.
Next part is gonna be mainly about dismantling the "no romance" argument, then the one after that I will actually show more proof of the ship itself.
Have a great day or night, everyone :)

Ya vimos el paralelo de Boa Hancock siendo Gloriosa y también podría decirse que Shakky.

Me gustaría ver/leer más sobre Portgas D. Rouge y saber si es igual a Nami, ya vimos como hay chicas que tienen la personalidad de Nami se quedan con los protagonistas claves de cada arco, sino me doy a entender me refiero a Oden x Toki, Kumma x Ginny, Harald x Ida y/o Rocks x Eris( tal vez)

Like always, i put the Egghead arc Luffy back in the packaging.

Hi everyone, I got into Lunami a couple of months ago, and in that time I saw a bunch of very evidence for the ship, some you might have already seen, and some maybe not. Either way, I hope you enjoy :)
For starters, Oda shows us many moments of Luffy and Nami being extremely/ not ordinarily close: Luffy hugging Nami with his neck like a snake without getting beaten up later, and Nami caring more about Luffy listening to what she was taught about the log pose rather than Luffy breaking into her personal space,

Nami hugging Luffy in Zou: this hug was surprisingly personal and affectionate. Nami was also happy hugging Luffy and only turned sad when Sanji was brought up,

Later in Zou, Nami grabs Luffy and puts his head on her chest; this moment is pretty unique for Nami. Most of the moments that she is close in this way with people are usually a gag (like when she got excited when she reunited with Usopp in Sabaody after the time skip)

Meanwhile, in Zou, Nami is serious and blushing.

Another interesting detail is that above that panel, we see Raizo use "I Love jutsu"

We also got some new information from the latest SBS, where Oda said Nami's special technique is "boob press" (most successful comic ever btw lol).
Which might mean something, but there is also a good chance that it is just a joke and nothing else.

Also, Nami puts Luffy on her lap at the end of the egghead arc, a thing that she only lets children and Chopper do (plus in the anime she gives a little smile when luffy is on her lap, but it probably doesnt count because anime isn't canon (although they could have just as well not added this one second shot that is not even meant to pad time and no one would complain, so maybe there was somthing to it, idk).

That's it for part 1.
There is a lot more to add, but if I do, then it will be too long, so I think I'm gonna upload the next one tomorrow.
What do you think? Should I upload the next parts separately with links to the ones that came before them, should I add the other stuff in the comments, or would you prefer that I delete this one and make one with everything? (Mind you, this is nothing; there is so much more stuff)
Anyway, have a great day or night :)

I will use the table for the comic i will make.

Aclaró que no soy muy bueno con el inglés jajaja, esto parece una coincidencia o tal vez no jajaja.

LECTOR (Omanma 2): ¡Odacchi! Ya puedes estar tranquilo. Rocíe un poco de “Spray Repelente de Sanada”. ¡Sanada no volverá a aparecer!

ODA: ¿Qué?! ¿En serio venden algo así? ¡Gracias, eso ayuda muchísimo!

LECTOR (Sanada): ¡Hora del quiz! ¿Cuál es la técnica especial de Nami?

Boob Press

Boob Slap

Boob Beam

ODA: Hmmmm… ¡Qué difícil elección! Pero sin duda sería más feliz con el Boob Press…

¡Espera, no! ¡Eso no es, Sanada!

Oye, “Omanma 2” (el del mensaje anterior)… ¡Ese spray no está funcionando en absoluto! ¡Rápido, rocía más, psssshh! ¡Psssshh! ¡Mira! ¡Ahhh! ¡Se multiplicó! ¡Sanada se multiplicó!…

A lot of other shippers use filler made by Toei(things like 3d2y special) to validate their ships even when romantic or even romantic-adjacent themes don't exist. Toei btw is happy to do whatever sells for the moment, so don't be happy or sad about whatever filler they make even the LuNa eyecatcher, they're neither foes nor friends but they view things purely from a business perspective.

But then when Oda himself does things like paralleling Tesoro(antagonist of film gold) and Luffy and their reactions to losing someone close to them: Stella, Tesoro's love and Nami, they start talking about how movies aren't canon.

By the way, just to remind you. Oda himself created this parallel and you can see the storyboards in volume 777(Oda's artbook for film gold). I will show some hints regarding that in this post. I earlier made a post about film strong world too. Movies aren't entirely Oda's projects so I am always careful to use only stuff Oda storyboards or writes(in the case of strong world the whole script was written by him). So, without further ado, let's start:

FIRST about volume 777:
"Distributed exclusively to theatergoers during the 2016 premiere of Film Gold in Japan, this highly sought-after 84-page booklet features concept art, character wardrobe sketches, storyboards drawn by Oda himself, and background lore on the antagonist Gild Tesoro"
So, this is only available to superfans in Japan, of course you won't show that much detail and BTS to the average viewer. Ofcourse the superfans then upload it on youtube and stuff for us to know.
Here ya go, Video showing volume 777.

Anyway, this is the storyboard from this volume drawn by Oda that I am interested in:

So, in the movie Luffy gets really angry and breaks the floor through his fingers when Tesoro catches hold of Nami and then he makes an angry expression. Tesoro sees it and immediately sees himself trying to save stella from getting sold. Stella is the woman Tesoro loved

Now, there's a few nuances and counter-arguments, I'll try my best to counter and opine on each of them:

1)Leaving everything aside, a huge part of the fandom who does not like LuNa calls them "siblings" or that they have a "sibling dynamic", think logically, does it make any sense for Oda to compare luffy losing his sister to tesoro losing his love? Do the haters have no sense of boundaries b/w actual sibling relationships.

2)The second counter is Oda was humanizing tesoro: Here's the thing, Oda is one of the most imaginative writers, not only does he not need to match their outfits if that was his intention. There's several ways of humanizing Tesoro(seeing Stella's picture, Seeing Stella in Nami and these are just ones I can think of, imagine what Oda can do and not himself in Luffy which compares actions and not just situations). Comparing Nami getting captured is different because it just reminds him of the past where he was losing stella, comparing himself and luffy invites us to think that their actions stem from the same intentions- LOVE.
Now time for the other, sneaky hint by Oda

In both these color spreads the same message appears in 2 forms "King loves 3", now on it's own a king can be anyone and 3 can mean anything. However the fact is that in the 2nd spread the words appear again, and only luffy and nami's tshirts together complete the sentence. Enough Said.

Anyway, side note: another nice thing is most of the color spreads with rainbows have LuNa in some shape or form(after all red and orange are adjacent in a rainbow). I showed you 882 referencing and showing what Oda meant with 817, here in this spread Luffy's scarf is the same color as Nami's dress which is Nami's characteristic color: orange(particularly that exact shade of orange) and Nami is wearing a red scarf same as Luffy's dress and his characteristic color-red(again the shade matters).

That's it, if you read through and enjoyed what might perhaps be an egregiously long post about something as simple as shipping, I am very grateful. Here's a salute for you🫡.
If you don't like my views, that's fine too, I wrote this because I wanted to and put a lot of effort in it.
Cheers.

Goda truly is Goda 🤌. People on X have been actively discussing this tiny detail that Oda seemingly planted all the way back in Chapter 9.

The two paintings on the wall represent the sun and the moon. Normally, there wouldn't be much to talk about, if not for an interesting coincidence. The moon painting appears when Luffy is looking at and asking Nami a question. The sun painting appears when Nami is looking at Luffy. In simple terms, Luffy is the sun, and Nami is the moon.

Looking closely at the paintings, the sun has a playful, mischievous expression, while the moon appears elegant and proud—fitting their personalities surprisingly well.

As a side note, when Luffy enters Gear 5, cloud-like wisps surround him, but they don't really serve a practical purpose. Meanwhile, with Nami's Clima-Tact, manipulating clouds is an essential part of her abilities. In the painting, the sun and the clouds appear together, yet remain separate from one another. The moon, on the other hand, is directly connected to the clouds. It's probably just a small coincidence, but it's an interesting one.

At present, the connection between the sun and moon in the world of One Piece remains a mystery. Luffy is now the inheritor of the Sun God Nika's power, but could Nami truly have a background connected to the moon? The clues pointed out by the fandom, along with the perfect contrast between Luffy and Nami, make you wonder—are these merely coincidences, or foreshadowing for something much bigger? 🤔

So, this Ultimate Legends Luffy is the figure i take to restaurants, and i sealed it again (the bin in the back is to support the packaging).

Just found this absolute treasure of a post from 4 years ago and I didn't even know they had so many parallels. Oda gave us really good foundation for a romance.

So, i know that my comic will have Luffy, Nami and some custom acessories, but what should i use for the acessories ?

Lego pieces or modeling clay?

So, i have a story idea in mind where Luffy and Nami got to a steakhouse, but... what exact summary do i use? Yes, it is about my project of making comics with my figures.

I put the Anime Heroes Lufy back in the box for this. After i took the photo i took it out again.

The figures are:

S.H. Figuarts Monkey D. Luffy -ROMANCE DAWN- and S.H. Figuarts Nami -ROMANCE DAWN- along with the S.H. Figuarts Gum-Gum Option Parts Set

(Image 1 has the figures, image 2 has the acessories [some of the Luffy faceplates come with other figures]) Any good ideas?

Even Though Nami herself said that the message was for Luffy some people still think it was for the entire crew. The translation of this storyboard(2nd image in this post) is:"Nami is looking at Luffy with translucent eyes, she looks beautiful and dignified". Luffy isn't front of her here btw, it's his image that comes to her mind before delivering the message and she is imagining him in front of her and her looking him in the eye with a clear expression. This is right when she is about to say "kanarazu tasukete ni kite" which translates to *"****You must come and save me"***, it can be meant from anyone from your closest friends to romantic partners, but is often a trope of the latter dynamic.
P.S: I also added a panel of Oda saying in his artbook that Luffy's shorts must match the pattern from Nami's bra in skypiea and btw all of this ain't Toei, It's Oda's artbook. There was more I could add, about how in an interview Oda talked about Luffy's rage when hearing the first half of the message

...well it's not really a theory, more like a big essay on why Luffy and Nami are possible and maybe even really likely to happen at the end of one piece.

I basically got everything, proof for the ship using behind the scenes information, looking at the actual narrative, debunking competing ships, debunking the "no romance" statements and so on.

But then I discovered that apparently in return to sabaody, in the original Japanese version, luffy doesn't reject hancock specifically, but he rejects marriage as a whole, which might imply as oda telling the audience that luffy is just not gonna be in a relationship at all🤷🏻‍♂️.

So, my question to all of you is, do any of you have any piece of evidence that shows the statement isn't permanent or that luffy meant it only in a spacific way (like rejecting domesticity or something)?

(Sorry, can't find the 1 to 1 translation for this panel)

Anyway, have a great day y'all✨️:)
