Luffy's Dream is NOT to be King of the Pirates

[@ResplendentTrash]

I went to rewatch Ep 1015 after this. It has to be something that fits into the way both Luffy and Gol D. Roger saying "I'm going to..." Right before, Ace is talking about becoming a great notorious pirate and showing what he can do. Roger is talking about how getting to the final Island will make him the world's greatest pirate group. It is also limited by the knowledge of Luffy as a child. I don't think he would know much about the Red Line or weird geography of the world. I think it has to be something related to showing others the appeal of true freedom, but stated in very child-like terms. It seems like it would be somewhere in the range of "I want to make the Marines become pirates!" and "I want to get the whole world to gather together in one place" Because the dream requires worldwide recognition, it seems appropriate that childhood Luffy would want the influence to make Garp a pirate to show him why it means so much to him. Luffy knows very few people. What else would he imagine if he thought he could influence others? It sounds appropriately childish. As for gathering the whole world for a party or allowing them to safely visit the wonders of the world, that would require the cooperation of the Marines, so it is somewhat related. Neither of these really sound right though, so it might be something that somehow results the same outcome.

[@BigDadPirates]

Yes, episode 1015 does a great job of illustrating the idea and the beautiful connection with Roger. The fact that he’s had the dream since being a young child is one of the most important keys to thinking about his dream. All while also saying that this is the same exact dream as Roger, a 50ish year old legendary pirate lol I think your ability to notice all the connections but still being unable to make a really accurate theory is something that shows how masterful oda is at hiding this dream. He is so careful to not reveal too much while also showing the most important elements we need to know.

[@Radi0actvChickn]

I think you're on the right track, but why stop at the Marines? I think he wants the whole world to be pirates (and maybe even join his crew). In Luffy's mind, this would be the same thing as making everyone in the world free and equal. No kings, no slaves, just a bunch of pirate crews

[@tony34031]

Keep brainstorming and kudos for sharing! Oda has a weird look on life, and it keeps on giving!

[@BigDadPirates]

Thank you! I think many people could benefit from his view on life.

[@collin3233]

I think Luffy's dream will be something related to spreading freedom throughout the world, because he said he wants to be the pirate king because they are the most free.

[@christianedwards6364]

My only reservation is that it's a child's dream and not just any child but goofy ass luffy. I don't think his dream is going to be too thought out or as aspirational as spreading freedom. Also spreading freedom is something a hero would do and in his own words he's not a hero.

[@BigDadPirates]

Yeah I definitely believe Luffy doesn’t see himself as a hero but he does want people to live how they want to live so I think he desires freedom for the world because everyone needs to be free from their chains so Luffy can be free himself. If someone is a slave…then those same freedoms can be stolen from him or anyone else.

[@BigDadPirates]

Children are inherently selfish in terms of how they think about the world…but that doesn’t mean they are malicious so I agree that luffy’s dream is for himself and his family BUT his dream will affect the entire world to the point that it frees everyone as a side effect.

[@chewwins7179]

luffy's dream has to be goofy asf

[@chewwins7179]

i think luffy will have a party with the entire world

[@crybaby1357]

My brother likes to joke that his dream is to have a feast full of food with all the world, and honestly I stating to grow fond of it, it breaks a laugh out of me because he mentions it in the most random moments, and honestly Luffy’s love for food and people makes it kinda possible. I don’t on, keep on dreaming I guess, loved your video.

[@BigDadPirates]

Haha I feel like one major connection with everyone is a love for food, so maybe your brother likes to bring it up when he’s feeling hungry. Thanks for watching!

[@ericwitney5086]

Holy shit Big Dad is already such an iconic name. See you at the reverie soon

[@BigDadPirates]

Thank you brother

[@hoodiereviews6003]

If you're right about Luffy's dream somehow tying into liberation, of both marginalized groups achieving equality and civilians worldwide coming together as an international community (when the world governement collapses) rather than the fractured individual societies that make up the world currently, then it's possible Big Mom's dream might not be too different from Luffy's. After all, that's the gist of her dream. The only difference would be that Big Mom can never achieve her goal because she tries to reach it by utilizing fear, whereas Luffy would assumably go about achieving his dream in a much friendlier and "free" manner. Wouldn't surprise me if it turns out Oda used Big Mom's dream to juxtapose Luffy's.

[@BigDadPirates]

Yeah I definitely noticed that during Whole Cake Island. Lin Lin’s dream sounds exactly like something Roger or Joy Boy would want but she’s not like those two at her core so she twists the dream selfishly which creates a dark tone underneath the bright and happy aesthetic of Whole Cake Chateau Thanks for the thoughtful comment

[@Ruckus790]

You really had me thinking seriously about going to Costco and buying a playhouse. I'm like this guy is brilliant I better subscribe lmao 🤣

[@BigDadPirates]

I mean if it’s our generations only path to home ownership in a lot of places…..haha thanks for watching!

[@BankaiFever]

Is it for your dog ?

[@BigDadPirates]

No it’s a playhouse for my kids, out of frame is a slide lol

[@BigDadPirates]

My dog is scared of it lol

[@golden_zebra]

Love the house at the back 💯

[@BigDadPirates]

Yeah it was my son’s house but he was late on his payment so I evicted that lazy bum (he’s 2)

[@golden_zebra]

@@BigDadPirates Lol. He's learning at a young age 😂

[@BigDadPirates]

Gotta prepare him for rent being $6k a month when he’s in his 20s!

[@TheVarietyTree]

Personally, I would like his dream to be to destroy the red line, and unite the world. And that dream would make sense with his crews reactions, with some laughing at his dream, and some saying its impossible. The destruction of the red line would also create the all blue for sanji, which is another bonus.

[@BigDadPirates]

It’ll be so interesting to see how the world changes with the redline being destroyed! It is kind of difficult to fathom how massive the Redline is too. I wonder if it is related to the weird magnetic fields in the world too.

[@chewwins7179]

i doubt that is his dream i don't think luffy could think of something like that

[@chewwins7179]

his dream has to be something goofy

[@chewwins7179]

they def are gonna destroy the redline but it's not his dream

[@BigDadPirates]

Respectable opinion for sure. I would expect it to be a side effect of his dream or one of the final steps.

[@Ray_D_Tutto]

Buggy and Blackbeard deserve it more if this is the case.

[@BigDadPirates]

I don’t hear this often but I respect it. I think a good amount of people would say the same if they thought about it

[@rezaalizaida783]

its true his dream is not to be a king, he wants to just make friends thats why hes so dense. ive always thought Roger also rejected the notion of becoming king himself because he mostly wanted to find a cure to his illness(cancer). he searched it for years and decades and only found something else. the only mystery is joyboy, did he want to be king? did he want something else? its sad how as the story goes, there must be a king or else....

[@christianedwards6364]

Im not sure what his dream is tbh. The whole world party is intriguing for several reasons. 1 luffy loves them, emphasis on them throughout the series, its a crazy dream, and is child like. My hesitation would be do u really need to get the one piece and be king to make it happen and would a child make that connection. So to me it sounds the best but i have reservations about it. Ultimately in oda i trust to make it all make sense in the end.

[@BigDadPirates]

Yeah, I one hundred percent agree that Luffy having a massive party seems more like a by product of his dream. I’m very excited to see how Oda shows his dream and connects it with the other major themes of the story

[@095-tayordarang2]

Whats your true dream luffy? Luffy : “My true dream is NOT to be the king of the pirates”

[@LUCKY_0033]

Luffy's true dream could be he wants to have a biggest party on the moon. or biggest death ceremony of himself or biggest funny death of himself, maybe?

[@BigDadPirates]

Yeah I’m curious if it involves going to a new frontier! To be the first person to go somewhere for example

[@TyroKith]

Sabo told Luffy "I want to sail around the world and write a book about it. I'll become a pirate to make that happen." Ace then said "I'll become a pirate so great that the world will know my name and accept me. I don't even care if they call me a villain." Luffy mentioned his dream in response to theirs. He might have even created/altered his dream on the spot. He's like "Okay. Then I'll be..." I think it has something to do with making a world where you don't have to be a pirate to be free, and just because you're a pirate doesn't mean you're vilified.

[@BigDadPirates]

Yeah it’s rarely talked about, but it is wild that saying you’re a pirate makes you a criminal. Regardless of any actions! Good insight!

[@spiritualliving8318]

Luffy also told his dream to ace and sabo during the flashback, his full dream, the anime and manga translators messed up by inserting Luffy say the king of the pirates thing but that's not actually what he said

[@BigDadPirates]

That’s really interesting! Thanks for sharing and for watching

[@spiritualliving8318]

@@BigDadPirates luffy mentions it when he tells the crew, he lists off the ppl he told and he lists ace, shanks, and sabo on the list.

[@BigDadPirates]

It’s interesting too that any remnants of the Roger Pirates would know as well (I mean they know the dream but not necessarily that it’s also luffys) Momonosuke and Yamato know as well from Oden’s logbook. It’d be very interesting if Garp knows his dream as well

[@RobertR3843]

He wants all the world to be nakama and work together like his pirate crew. I think it will be something like that

[@BigDadPirates]

I definitely think he’ll be bringing a lot of people together

[@SMT_Pnut]

imu is an umibozu, i feel like thats as close to confirmed as unconfirmed can be. theres a story about an umibozu who guarded this island, so at night people couldnt go to sea or theyd drown. this man who wanted to explore the whole sea went ahead to do just that. when he came across the umibozu, it asked if he was scared of it. the man said nothing is scarier than traveling the whole sea and it let him go. the way to 'stop' and umibozu is with a bottomless barrel. so my theory is that luffy's dream is just to explore the entire ocean and the one piece will be a bottomless barrel. that would also finish OP the way it started which is very Oda

[@BigDadPirates]

That would be really cool! I’ve heard a lot of the information about umibozu and I definitely think it has some validity. I ultimately just think their identity/powers/origin will be a mix of a few different inspirations.

[@angelob2867]

Can you give me the contact info of the agent that sold you that house? I'm in the market for one myself

[@BigDadPirates]

Sure! Costco’s number is 425-313-8100

[@emperorluffy6001]

Haven't watched this yet but theres no way Luffy's dream is something generic as to free/liberate the world. Not only is that too corny but if Luffy actually cared about that he would have been actively trying to liberate the islands he visits but he never did so intentionally until Wano. If Luffy's goal were something as simple as liberating the world then Luffy would have joined the revolutionaries. Luffy is NOT out to free everybody. People keep ignoring the reality that Luffy is selfish and only cares about people he knows/met. If he does have a goal it is going to be something inherently selfish but ultimately leads to the world being free.

[@BigDadPirates]

Yeah I address these ideas in the video.

[@zeldascottgc]

Luffy does not tell shanks his true dream in chapter 1 I reread it it’s literally not there 😂

[@BigDadPirates]

It’s a shanks flashback from when silvers Rayleigh meets Luffy, he remembers shanks telling him about Luffy that day when shanks gave him the straw hat after Luffy shared the dream. I know my shit, so make sure you subscribe so you can attend future classes.
