What Would Happen If Luffy Became A Marine?

Feel like Luffy has a better chance of being a Revolutionary than a Marine because the Marine aren't free enough for him

It's curious that Luffy is such a strong character (personality-wise) that when making this alternate storyline it seems like the character is pushing back against it. Luffy was clearly designed to be a pirate and even in fictitious alternate realities it is so hard to pin him down into another path without changing his personality.

I feel like Luffy becoming a marine... He would find a way to still recruit the whole crew and end up finding the one piece. Still meeting Shanks, inspired by pirates but also somehow inspired by marines. He would be the weirdest marine. We could have two types of stories. One that keeps the general route and one that changes it a lot

It's honestly scary how much luffy could convince his crew to become a marine and I think this story is basically dragons backstory

Garp is a Marine and Dragon is a Revolutionary. Luffy being a Pirate just makes sense to sort of have the three Monkeys cover the spectrum. Admittedly, I think it would be more interesting for Ace to be a Marine. Luffy covers being a pirate separate from his dad or grandpa, Sabo is the opposite of his noble family and becomes a Revolutionary, and Ace could have become the opposite of Roger. Something about that seems interesting to me.

I feel like Usopp could still be alive. If Luffy isn't so hyper-fixated on Shanks then he'd bond with the rest of the crew, Yasopp included. Yasopp will probably tell Luffy about his own son, so Luffy MIGHT visit syrup village to meet Usopp, whether it's for his or Yasopp's purpose I can't say.

I feel like Luffy's goal in this would have been to become a world leader because that's basically similar to the pirate king. Then in that case when he does he could change the world government maybe and make them change their vision. I also feel like he would still have a chance to find the One Peice and then he would really become a world leader.

With just how much Garp is involved in the early storyline for the live action, this video is even more interesting in retrospect!

I do believe that Vivi would gladly stay with the crew if they were marines, since her main impediment was the consequences of her (Alabastra's princess) becoming a pirate. If she had done that, she would be confirming that the Stawhats were the ones who actually saved the country instead of the Marine's version where Smoker was the saviour. However, in this new world, she just becomes great friends with Luffy and the crew and then follows their path.

I love that you don't pressure the community on how animation story lines should be like. You appreciate different story lines

I was a little concerned when I started this video as I have been working on a story with the same general premise for over a year now. However, as I listened to your version unfold, I realized that, even though you hit a lot of the same story beats as I do, you don't hit all of them, and the ones you do hit, you are approaching them in a very different way. I'm glad as it is different enough that I can continue with my own series without worry that it will be perceived as a rip off of your ideas. Also, even though many of my thoughts on how the story would play out if Luffy joined the Marines are very different, I still have to acknowledge that you have a great story here. Thanks for sharing it!

The way bro blasted Shanks 😂😂

To be honest, MY MAN KILLING IT WITH HIS CONTENT LATELY 🔥

While I liked this video and the outcome you reached, I think there were definitely a few issues I had with it. Unless Luffys upbringing was completely changed, and his character alongside it, I don't think he would just allow drum kingdom to stay as it was, or alabasta for that matter. When push comes to shove Luffy will do whatever is necessary to make things right. But obviously, that would just turn him back to piracy, so I understand those choices were needed for the idea of this video.

Hold it! though I agree with what happened with Ussop though we should also have to remember Luffy’s adventurous side as well and a chance of him wanting to explore other islands before heading to reverse mountain especially with the fact that Garp wanted to spend time with Luffy as you stated

0:18 that frame is amazing LOL great editing in this one

The main problem, i think is that even if he met Kuzan first, that losing an arm scene would overpower any marine thoughts he ever had. He loves freedom too much and the best outcome I think would be the same normal Luffy with a better liking of the marines.

He'd most definitely would punch a Celestial across the blue seas under Garps teachings.

I like the Animation how Garp looks so adorable with his face on hahah Plus Luffy could visit Syrup village where is Usopp for some reports about weird activity or just traveling But still that would be really interesting to see a Alternative Animation of Luffy being a Marine and having his own Crew like in canon plus added some as well

Bro the scen with dragon running from garp was epic😊😂😂
