This post contains spoilers for One Piece.
Summary
- Every Straw Hat member is equally loyal to Luffy, willing to sacrifice their personal goals for his ambition.
- Zoro is highlighted for his early belief in Luffy, but all crewmates have proven their loyalty in various ways.
- From Nami to Usopp to Jimbei, each member has shown unwavering support for Luffy, going to great lengths for him.
Beyond being a group of pirates, the Straw Hats represent a close-knit family. Each member watches over the others, ensuring everyone’s well-being. Their journey started as a crew of five in East Blue, and since then, they’ve expanded their team with an additional five members.
Every member of the crew hails from diverse origins, yet they share an unwavering allegiance to Captain Monkey D. Luffy – a bond that has seen them triumph over numerous hardships as one united force. Since each Straw Hat joined at distinct moments and under varied circumstances, fans of One Piece frequently ponder which crewmate demonstrates the greatest loyalty towards their leader.
Is Zoro The Most Loyal Straw Hat?
A significant number of fans consider Roronoa Zoro to be the most devoted member of the Straw Hat crew. This belief is largely based on the fact that Zoro was the initial believer in Luffy and was the first to join him, as well as his selfless acts such as offering his life to Kuma on Thriller Bark to save Luffy, and pleading with Mihawk for training so he could grow stronger to aid Luffy in achieving his goals.
Although all these reasons might be valid, it doesn’t necessarily make Zoro more loyal than the others in relation to Luffy. It’s actually quite absurd to suggest that the Straw Hat Pirates have differing levels of loyalty towards their captain. In reality, each and every crew member is deeply committed to their leader. Therefore, there’s no such thing as Zoro having 90% loyalty compared to Sanji with only 40%. Instead, their loyalty is uniform and unwavering.
The Entire Crew Would Lay Down Their Lives For Luffy
- Every Straw Hat Is Loyal To Luffy
- They Want To Help Their Captain
The Straw Hat crew members are deeply dedicated to their captain, Luffy, and they’re prepared to put their own aspirations aside for his dreams. For example, Sanji relinquished his freedom and personal dream when he accompanied Capone Bege to Whole Cake Island. He chose this path to shield Luffy and the rest of the crew from potential harm due to him. Similarly, Robin abandoned the crew once as she didn’t want Luffy or her fellow comrades to be in danger due to being targeted by CP9.
In the Wano Country storyline, Nami made an impactful declaration – she asserted that Luffy would one day rule as Pirate King. What’s remarkable about this statement is that she said it shortly after taking Ulti’s blow to her head. It’s particularly significant because people often perceive Nami as timid, but for her to speak up in such a critical moment says a lot.
Usopp, a member of the Straw Hat crew, is frequently criticized for appearing disloyal due to his temporary departure following a dispute about the future of the Going Merry. Nevertheless, it’s important to remember that Usopp has demonstrated time and again where his loyalty lies – with Luffy. This was evident when Miss Merry Christmas ridiculed Luffy’s dream, causing Usopp to express his disapproval. Furthermore, Usopp dedicated himself to intense training alongside Heracles with the intent of supporting his captain.
Even The Newer Members Adore Luffy
I, being a devoted admirer of Luffy, hold immense respect for my captain’s power. Even in the presence of the fearsome Yonko, Big Mom, I found myself trembling, yet determined to secure the Poneglyph rubbing for my beloved captain. Just like Jimbei, I too have acted in this manner before. On Fish-Man Island, Luffy extended an invitation for Jimbei to join his crew, but the strong and noble fish-man declined initially. However, during the Whole Cake Island arc, Jimbei boldly confronted Big Mom, informing her of his decision to leave her crew and embark on a new journey as a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Jimbei said, “A man who aspires to sail with the next Pirate King certainly wouldn’t flinch at the sight of a simple Yonko.
In this situation, Big Mom was enraged, and in response, she summoned her Devil Fruit abilities, yet they failed to sway Jimbei, who remained unfazed. He made it clear that he had no reason to be intimidated by a mere Yonko, as he was choosing to join the crew of the future Pirate King. It’s worth noting that Franky and Chopper stand resolutely by Luffy, showing no fear even when faced with powerful figures like Saint Jaygarcia Saturn and Big Mom. Their unwavering loyalty towards Luffy is evident in numerous instances, a testament to the fact that every member of the Straw Hat crew is equally loyal to their captain.
