One Piece: Why Luffy Will Destroy The World, Explained

As a long-time One Piece fanatic and self-proclaimed Luffyologist, I can tell you with absolute certainty that our boy Luffy is about to shake things up in the world of One Piece like never before! The prophecy of Joy Boy has been waiting for his arrival, and it seems that Luffy is stepping into those big shoes.

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

Key Takeaways

Luffy will destroy Fishman Island, setting the stage for potential world destruction.
Luffy’s destiny as the Sun God implies he will destroy the world, reshaping it for the better.
Luffy will utilize Ancient Weapons to destroy the Red Line and create a new world order.

The main character from “One Piece,” named Luffy, has evolved magnificently throughout the storyline, gaining immense strength and earning the title of a Yonko, a prestigious pirate captain. Luffy serves as an inspiration to many, and his role as the Liberation Warrior symbolizes his devotion to freedom, making him a living embodiment of this cherished value.

In the world of One Piece, although Luffy doesn’t see himself as a hero, he is undeniably a hero to countless individuals across the globe. However, his title of Sun God could suggest that he is fated to bring about destruction, an implication that was subtly hinted at in Elbaf. This potential outcome could have far-reaching consequences, impacting not just the storyline but also the characters and the world as a whole.

The Destruction Of Fishman Island

Shyarly Has Seen The Future

To some viewers, the notion that Luffy could end up destroying the world may seem unlikely. Yet, there are indications within the storyline that suggest this possibility. For instance, following the timeskip, on Fishman Island, Madam Shyarly – a known seer with great foresight – prophesied that Luffy would one day bring about Fishman Island’s destruction. This island holds deep historical significance for its inhabitants, implying that Luffy might not think twice before annihilating it. If Luffy can wipe out Fishman Island, then it’s plausible to imagine him destroying the world as well – though this idea should be taken metaphorically rather than literally.

Luffy isn’t about wandering from nation to nation, wreaking havoc and inflicting sorrow upon its people. That’s not his nature, and fans recognize him as the polar opposite of such actions. However, the liberty that Luffy symbolizes often necessitates destruction – much like how Luffy is expected to destroy Fishman Island. Fans understand that the Fishmen and Merfolk yearn for a life under the real sun on the surface. At the end of the series, these beings will live alongside other races in the One Piece World, which implies that Fishman Island will essentially become an empty land.

On Fishman Island, the Fishmen will look back at a somber past marked by discrimination. Later, Luffy would bring about its destruction, symbolizing change and liberation for them. Meanwhile, before this event, all Fishmen and Merfolk would have been transported to the surface aboard the Noah, under Poseidon’s command, guided by the Sea Kings. This seems to be the anticipated course of events on Fishman Island in the future.

As Luffy wreaks havoc on Fishman Island, viewers anticipate that he might bring similar destruction to the rest of the world. Just as he defends Fishman Island out of concern for his friends or a simple desire for food, Luffy will protect the world at large. However, Luffy doesn’t see himself as a hero; instead, everything he does is motivated by his friends. Yet, despite Luffy’s self-perception, he is revered as a hero by countless inhabitants of the One Piece universe. This reverence is likely to continue even when Luffy sets out to destroy the world.

The Current World Order And Loki’s Idea Of World Destruction

Loki Implied That The Sun God Will Destroy The World

In One Piece chapter 1130, it was revealed that Loki is the Sun God and the one who will bring about the destruction of the world. While the people of Elbaf worship the same god, they might not fully understand the implications, but it seems evident to fans that Ragnarok, a cataclysmic event spoken of in their ancient stories, is somehow connected to this Sun God and the impending destruction. Fans can surmise that Ragnarok may herald the end of the current world to make way for a new one. This shouldn’t be too difficult for fans to grasp.

In essence, Luffy is tasked with bringing about destruction in the One Piece world, as Loki predicts. However, this destruction should not inflict suffering on its inhabitants. The purpose of the three Ancient Weapons in this universe becomes significant here. Joy Boy intended to transmit these ancient artifacts, but they must be wielded correctly. This implies that the Ancient Weapons are designed for the demolition of those who establish a destructive global system, which points directly at the World Government and particularly the Founding 20 and the Celestial Dragons.

Essentially, Luffy must continue his journey to demolish the world constructed by the World Government. His ultimate goal is to establish a realm where people can eat freely without restriction, and where his companions can live peacefully, free from oppression like slavery. To create this desired world, he will first need to overthrow the existing system.

How Luffy Will Destroy The World

The straightforward way Luffy intends to demolish the world isn’t complicated. First, it’s common knowledge that Luffy holds the Mythical Zoan power, Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, which grants him the strength to obliterate entire islands from Earth. Yet, this is only part of the story. Moreover, Luffy will obtain Ancient Weapons, such as Poseidon, a powerful ally of his whose abilities fans are familiar with. Luffy is destined to lead Poseidon in using her powers effectively, as foretold.

In much the same vein, Pluton is believed to exist and will likely come under Momo’s control. Just like before, this Ancient Weapon could potentially be wielded by Luffy, unless Blackbeard manages to snatch it. However, it’s clear that fans anticipate Luffy having a weapon at his disposal, which he can use in a specific manner to dismantle the Red Line, thereby altering the world’s order dramatically. This destruction of the Red Line could trigger a catastrophe so immense that it would shake everything from top to bottom, potentially causing a cataclysm.

At this stage, the earth could potentially experience catastrophic flooding, followed by a period of recession. Regardless, humanity will persist, as Vegapunk foretold that a time would come when his technology to construct artificial sky islands would be vital. Mass evacuations will occur, and though the planet may submerge, Luffy will ensure the establishment of a new, safe world. This world will witness the demise of the World Government, allowing him and his companions to coexist in happiness.

Through this action, Luffy stands to realize an ancient prophecy, bringing unity among all under the same sky. Here, every individual will be treated as equals, free from any form of prejudice or discrimination. In essence, Luffy’s journey may lead to the demolition of a world marred by injustice and cruelty, paving the way for a fresh start where equality is paramount.
