Luffy is going to have the most ridiculously large and powerful army at the end of one
piece.
We all expect, that this epic series will have one of the most epic and intense final
battles we have seen in all of Anime.
Eiichiro Oda, the author of one piece himself has mentioned more than once, that he is working
heatedly on a war that will make the battle of Marineford look like a playground scruff
between a few third graders.
So assuming that Luffy will actually have to call all his allies for help is not so
much speculation as a promise, by Oda-sensei himself.
And so I think it's time to take a look at all the allies that Luffy has gathered over
the years, that will fight this all-deciding final war side by side with him against the
full power of the world government, the Gorosei and Imu.
A war to liberate the world from a tyrannical and exploitative rule, that has lasted for
over 800 years.
Because as you will realise at the end of this video, this host is so large and powerful,
that it really raises the question of what the government has up their sleeve to compete
with it.
At the core of this army of all armies stands of course the straw hat crew itself, under
the command of the future pirate king Monkey D. Luffy, a fitting title for a commander
that will lead such a massive host.
The straw hats have pretty much established themselves as a true Yonko crew at this point.
The top fighters, namely Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Jinbe and most likely Yamato are powerful
enough to take on pretty much any opponent on the grand line at this point.
And even the weakest members, like Usopp, Nami or Robin have reached a terrifying level
of power in battle.
As a crew with unwavering believe and a wide variety of devil fruit abilities and other
useful skills, the straw hat will lead the final fleet into battle.
The first massive addition to the straw hat army is of course the straw hat grand fleet,
that was established during the aftermath of the Dressrosa arc.
An impressive host of 5640 men, consisting of seven pirate crews that were enslaved or
imprisoned by the Donquixote family in one way or the other.
We're talking giants, long arms, the tontatta, cavendish's crew and of course my man Bartholomeo.
While the grand fleet will add impressive numbers to the main army, I think it's important
to remember that many of its members are top tier fighters, that fought in the colloseum.
Many have haki or devil fruit powers and especially the new giant warrior pirates under the lead
of Hajrudin, will have a massive impact on the battle field.
The other major force Luffy will be able to count on is of course the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai
Alliance, that was formed in front of the Road Poneglyph on Zou.
I personally think that this force will be even more important and power-packed than
the grand fleet.
The samurai and ninja of Wano are known as probably the most powerful people in the entire
new world, with fighters strong enough to oppose the government for centuries.
Not only do most of them have advanced haki in the form of Ryou, but the country is full
of special ability users, including the likes of Onimaru, Tama or Momo, who has the same
mythical devil fruit as Kaido himself.
Then there are the two pirate crews involved in this as well, that have already fought
side by side with Luffy in a battle to the death.
Law's heart pirates and the Kid pirates, despite their pride and brawls with Luffy, have been
established as allies and believers in Luffy, that will stand by his side against a larger
evil, be it Kaido or the world government itself.
Wether other supernova will join the fray, we'll have to wait and see, but many of them
do seem like likely candidates.
X drake has already fought with Luffy, Hawkings will probably switch sides, Bonny, who's connected
to Kuma and has infiltrated Marijois, I could see many of them standing side by side with
Luffy at the end as well.
The minks of course aren't far off in terms of their fighting power.
They have been surviving and defending their home against powerful invaders for centuries
as well and especially under the full-moon, become one of the most fear-inducing weapons
you could wish for.
Oh and speaking of their home country, Zuneshia, the gignatuous elephant that Zou is located
on is of course gonna be part of this as well.
No matter if it's an actual ancient weapon or just a monstrous walking tank of destruction,
Zuneshia is gonna have to play a central role in the final battle, that most likely will
be tied to its past relationship with JoyBoy in some way or form.
And speaking of ancient weapons, and another race that owes its freedom to the straw hats,
are Shirahoshi and the fishmen.
Now that I think about it, I guess technically Fishman island is actually still luffy's territory
if I'm not mistaken.
With the fishman once again, we have once again have a race of powerful fighters, that
has been suppressed and discriminated against for hundreds of years.
Not only are they able to fight underwater, manipulate currents and attack ships from
below, but their princess, the ancient weapon Poseidon, is literally able to control the
sea kings, mysterious giant sea monsters, similar to Zuneshia, who's powers are pretty
much forces of nature.
At this point I think two pretty clear patterns emerge.
Luffy's most terrifying ability, as Mihawk calls it, to bring people to his side, fight
for him and believe in him, can be divided into two categories: On the one hand you have
people who have been liberated and saved by Luffy.
This is true for pretty much all of the straw hats in some way or form, Robin from Enies
Lobby, Sanji from Whole cake island, Joinbei from impel down, but of course also for entire
islands, including the fishman, whom he saved from hody jones and their internal dispute
about their racial identity, wano from Kaido's tyrannical rule or Law from his obsession
with Doflamingo and his quest to avenge Corazon.
Luffy saving people and bringing them out of their darkness, no matter who you are and
what you have done, has always been one of his most powerful character traits.
My favorite example here is probably Katakuri, whom Luffy saved from his isolation among
his crew and the pressure he felt to never be himself and show any weakness.
Katakuri by the way is also someone I really expect to stand by Luffy's side at the end.
On the other hand, there are also many people, that Luffy has brought to his side by earning
their respect and inspiring them to entrust their hopes and dreams into him.
A great example here would for example be Whitebeard.
Luffy did not manage to save either Whitebeard, nor his brother Ace.
But his actions and will earned him the Yonko's respect and as a result, Luffy has the powerful
remnants of the Whitebeard pirates on his side, including Marco and Izo, both of which
fought with him on Wano.
In the same way, Luffy has inspired Mihawk to help Zoro and very possibly help the crew
again in the future.
Even though there is of course more to it, it is all the reason why Shanks and Rayleigh
and possibly other former members of the Roger pirates will be fighting by his side as well.
Eustass Kid, falls into this category as well.
As I discussed in his character analysis video, it was Luffy's stubbornness, his willingness
to die and fight for him without any second thoughts, that ultimately made Kid trust him
fully.
Another really big ally for Luffy in the final battle will of course be his father dragon
and the revolutionary army as a whole.
The revolutionary are already dangerous enough as an organisation that Dragon has become
the most wanted man in the world.
Not only do they have agents everywhere across the globe and most likely inside the world
government ranks as well, but they also have real heavy hitters in their ranks, including
the commanders, Luffy's brother sabo, Ivankov and the entirety of the Kamabakka kingdom.
And we're not even talking about all the possible intel that Dragon might have about the true
history and the secrets of the world government.
The revolutionaries might end up being one of the most crucial pieces for Luffy's success
and the downfall of the Gorosei and Imu.
But there are also forces within the marines themselves, that seem likely to side with
Luffy at some point.
Characters like Smoker or Fujitora, who have opposed Luffy, but ended up respecting and
cheering for him as they witnessed his kindness and more importantly the incompetency and
corruption of the government to keep its citizens save from harm.
You have characters like Koby, who not only has been one of Luffy's friends since the
very beginning, but just like X Drake is part of the secret marine organisation sword, that
is opposed to the the world Nobel's cruelty and is fighting for a more just and fair version
of the marines.
And of course we shouldn't forget Kuzan, who has been friendly towards Luffy and the straw
hats right from the start and who has been off doing his own mysterious thing for a while
now.
He seems like the type of character who would side with the straw hats in their fight for
a just and free world, which would add one of the most powerful characters in the entire
story to Luffy's ranks.
Someone who has control over the ocean itself would be a more than valuable asset in the
final war.
Luffy's Grandfather garp is another candidate here.
He will not watch another one of his grandkids die.
He will fight on Luffy's side in the next big war.
And there are even more potential allies that might join the fight.
The warriors of Skypea, another ancient race associated with the ancient kingdom, might
come to Luffy's aid.
The giants of elbaf, another big arc that is coming up, will surely also end up as allies
to the crew.
Similarly, soldiers from kingdoms like Drum island with Dalton and Kureha, Dressrosa with
King Riku and rebekka and Alabasta with Vivi should join the battle as well.
And speaking of Dressrosa, Luffy liberated the country from the rule of the Donxiquote
family, which includes the weirdly thin, but very slimy Trebol.
It has been my mission for a while now to overtake his bounty of 99M berries.
With 100 berries per subscriber, we still have 40M berries to go, so please help me
overtake this man by subscribing to the channel.
More warlords.
Boa Hancock will be fighting for Luffy just as surely as Zoro will.
Many of the impel down prisoners that Luffy helped break out, including Crocodile, Buggy
and hopefully the one and only Mr. 2.
Kuma, who was part of the revolutionaries and has helped the crew before.
And who knows, maybe Vegapunk will actually turn out to be an ally as well, as many people
have speculated before, adding incredible technical knowledge and prowess to the mix.
Sanji's family the Vinsmokes and their Germa army should be on their side at this point
as well.
And the biggest wildcard of them all is most likely Shanks and the red hair pirates.
However, should they actually survive AND be the good guys after all, having them join
Luffy's grand fleet would instantly increase their power multiple times.
I mean seriously, getting another Yonko crew would just really turn this into the ultimate
force to wage the largest war the world has ever seen.
So I just want you to close your eyes and imagine this army for a second.
While nations, the most powerful fighters on the ocean, ancient weapons and invincible
Devil fruits all united under the straw hat banner.
All of this of course leaves us with one big question: What sort of terrifying secret power
does the world government and Imu have up their sleeve to counter this sort of army
to make it a fair fight?
The next arc on the way to this major battle is going to be Elbaf.
And if you want to know what might happen on the island of the giants, you really shouldn't
ignore this video right here.
