Did he decline as a character?

When he went full waku waku and said he was having fun fighting against Kaido, yes.

Luffy was always shit as a character. But this completely destroyed all the work behind his story.

>starts out as a nobody who happened to eat a fruit that made him elastic lmao
>ACHYUALLY the funny elastic power fruit is a legendary ultimate fruit that was destined to be eaten by the chosen one who will save the world once he unlocks its true power
God I hate shounenshit so much

No. He's himself.

Luffy has achieved true freedom
This is the peak of his character

Unless you add something like negatives values into the equation... declining is impossible for a flat.

>being a speed reader

Peak of Mary Sue ass pulled powers

People say it’s ok because he’s fun.

Not Gary Stu, faggot. It was expected.

People are right. Attack on Titan's ending sucked because Eren was some dramatic faggot killing himself in order to do "the right thing", it would've been good if Eren had a more positive outlook and a smile on his face. Take the joypill

>Luffy
>a nobody
From the very start they directly made him out to be a somebody.
By the time we get to Marineford we know several major things
1) He's Ace's half brother who's father was Gol D Roger
2) His Father was the head of the Revolutionary against the world government
3) His Grandfather was a Vice Admiral and the Hero of the Marines

Luffy really does look best with a big smile on his face

Luffy is definitely a Gary Stu. It’s common for a shonen protagonist to be one. Only Eren broke the stereotype

But his devil fruit is a mega ass pull 1000 chapters ahead. Like literally "oh he ate this fruit that nobody seems to know its a LEGENDARY zoan for some reason it happens to awaken fighting another zoan" rightof the boat.

I really want to argue with you, but I think you're actually right since the only thing I can bring up is
>O MY MANOUVER GEAR INSTINCTS/FUTURE MEMORIES, LET ME KEEP MY BALANCE EVEN WITH SABOTAGED GEAR
But he's kind of a reverse Gary Stu since God herself is working hard on keeping his dick dry

Man, you are literally gay. That Awakening was expected.

Gary Stu isn't a thing. It's either Mary Sue or fuck off to Deviantart with your fanfic.

>Gary Stu isn't a thing.
You are retarded. I am sorry. Have a nice day.

He’s a Mary Sue.
