One Piece: For the first time, Luffy is considered by the World Government as the ‘future Pirate King’

Luffy has been recognized by the Underworld Government.

Aside from his crew members and friends, very few people in One Piece believe that Luffy will truly become Pirate King. However, after defeating Kaido and with his new power ranking in the pirate world, Luffy became the “best” candidate for that title. Even the World Government has to admit this.

The act of sending Admiral Ryokugyu to Wano to eliminate Luffy immediately after he defeated Kaido shows the World Government’s belief that out of all the pirates in the Grand Line, Luffy is the one who will become the next Pirate King. according to.

Why does the World Government consider Luffy the future “Pirate King”?

For many years, the World Government tried not to move against Kaido due to their mutual interest in Wano. However, they did not make a similar move towards Shanks, Big Mom or Blackbeard even though it was clear that the Government had enough resources to track down One Piece.

The World Government even believes that directly confronting Kaido will require a huge amount of funding. To fight Kaido and the Beasts Gang would require mobilizing significant forces and the losses would be huge, regardless of who wins.

However, Luffy’s victory over Kaido ruined the World Government’s entire plan for Wano, removing a familiar threat and replacing it with an unpredictable unknown. With Luffy in control of Wano, anything is possible, including the opening of the country’s borders.

If Luffy can defeat the creature they consider the strongest in the world, what can stop him from finding One Piece and finally replacing Gol D. Roger as the most feared pirate?

Although other candidates for the title of Pirate King also appeared after the fall of Kaido and Big Mom, typically Shanks and Blackbeard, the Government never took public action against these two people. .

This means that not only do they not fear and respect the power of those two Four Emperors, but they also do not consider them an immediate threat to the world order that Imu (Im-sama) and the Five Elders Tinh has worked hard to build.

Instead, they made Luffy the main target, possibly because he had awakened his Devil Fruit and controlled Nika’s power – one of the things the Five Elder Stars feared the most. The World Government’s actions after Luffy defeated Kaido is proof that in their eyes, Monkey D. Luffy is the person most likely to find One Piece and become Pirate King.
