Does anyone else feel that LuNa shippers are just not reading the same material as us? This is One Piece, the main protagonists are Luffy and the Strawhats and Luffy LOVES his nakama EQUALLY. Yes, love. Friendship love, family love, platonic love, however you wanna call it. The Strawhats are the most important people in Luffy’s life, excluding Sabo and Ace.
This is why this is the only pairing that I really do not sit well with. As mentioned before, Luffy loves his nakama equally, regardless of when they joined his crew. Him and Nami ending up together will just be flat out weird and null simply because it means Luffy has a specific bias towards Nami out of the crew members. And before anybody brings it up, yes I am aware that Nami is the only one that Luffy has entrusted his straw hat to. So what?? If the situation calls for it, Luffy would easily, without a single doubt or hesitation, entrust his straw hat to anyone in the crew, simply because yes, he loves them equally and trusts them with his life. Oda simply hasn’t written such a scenario yet because there is no need to. To all LuNa fans out there, if the whole straw hat thing is all you can use to back up Luffy/Nami, ignoring both of their interactions with anybody else in OP, it goes to show how weak and fragile your ship truly is. In the end, the only relationship that Luffy and Nami has going on between them is a strong sibling-like friendship, where Nami clearly gets annoyed and fed-up with Luffy’s antics but respects him immensely nonetheless, while Nami is just one of Luffy’s precious nakama, him respecting her and her skills too.
I have no idea who Luffy will end up with at the end of One Piece, or if Oda will even entertain the notion of giving Luffy a Pirate Queen by his side. One thing’s for sure though, Luffy will not end up with Nami, nor anyone else in the Strawhats simply because he loves them equally as nakama. With everything said, is this a childish and petty post on LuNa bashing? It probably is. Sue me. I just had to get this off my chest and share it.
