"Hard work" is a spook. Successful people were predetermined to be successful through a combination of good genes, favorable environment and luck. Exceptional people were meant to be exceptional from birth. Oda's deterministic worldview is the cold, hard reality.

that's just an excuse to justify your own laziness and pessimism
Kevin Ward
Was One Piece ever about hard work? lol
Nathan Cruz
reminder kizaru low diffs whitebeard
Zachary Long
What's a character that actually succeded with hard work? Koby and Helmeppo are the first that come to my mind
Tyler Perry
Being Ryuma's reincarnation does NOT mean Zoro's hard work has any less merit
Jonathan Brooks
Yeah but good luck trying to drill this into normalfags brain
Christopher Kelly
Any time someone preaches that [random shonen series] used to be about "hard work" I want them to name five (5) fights where the "hard worker" won.

Not really. Oda makes it clear that the real monsters of this world come from a combination of genes, luck, contacts AND hard work - not just the latter. BUT people like Usopp and Nami, the normal people in One Piece, can still shine in their own way through their hard work.
John Evans
One piece should have ended here

What about the janitor that invented Hot Cheetos by adding chili powder to just regular Cheetos?

The message of the story used to be “always follow your dreams” now it’s “only special people can accomplish certain things.”
Caleb Hill
Usopp is the son of a legendary pirate
Blake Phillips
Luffy has the resin fruit. Nika Nika No Mi.
It was JoyBoy/Nikas fruit originally.
It's special because it's the resin from a special tree. Maybe from the trees that go through Sabaody to Fishman Island.
Its awakening ability probably has some symbolic power.
Maybe it glows bright and "brings the dawn".
David Sanders
nah.
Kevin Garcia
Yamato's backstory is basically the backstory of a Any Forums incel
Cooper Sanders
Gabriel Collins
Name 1 time being Yasopp's child gave Usopp any benefits. Usopp is the abandoned child of a pirate - legendary or not, that shit means jack in the East Blue. He grew without a dad, lost his mother when he was a child, was chastised by the people in his own village, is weak, cowardly and is generally just a normal human being. He gets by only through his smarts and his sheer will of being a brave warrior of the sea.
Joseph Thompson
how bad has oda's wife mind broken him for him to be able to write this.
Brody Hill
the characters in the story have special dreams... so only special people will be able to accomplish them
Levi Hernandez
Oda is 100% a cuck irl
Blake Rodriguez
Luffy has the Gomu Gomu no Mi that gives him the properties of gum and rubber, his awakening is merely latex.
Owen Sanders

Angel Baker
Fuck off you goofy simp ass tranjifag
Easton Miller
Why was the name changed to the Gomu Gomu no mi then?

Thats like saying Hiyori or Tashigi (with her coat) has a fat ass.

What idiot started the hard work meme anyway? Literally no battle shonen has ever been about that they are closer to superhero comics.
