One Piece
Monkey D. Luffy is the rubber-bodied captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, chasing the treasure called One Piece to become King of the Pirates. He is loud, reckless, and simple, but his lines cut straight to what he cares about: freedom, food, and his crew. Below are his real quotes, each with the arc or scene it comes from.
“I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!”
“I don't wanna conquer anything. I just think the guy with the most freedom in this whole ocean is the Pirate King!”
“If I die here, then I'm a man who could only make it this far.”
“If you don't take risks, you can't create a future!”
“Being alone is more painful than getting hurt.”
“I don't want to conquer anything. I just want my crew to be able to eat.”
“I've set myself to become the Pirate King, and if I die trying, then at least I tried, didn't I?”
“I'm going to be King of the Pirates. If I'm gonna die fighting here, then I wasn't cut out to be King in the first place.”
“I don't know how to use a sword, so I can't fight you.”
“You want to know if I have a reason for not wanting to lose? Sorry, but I've never needed a reason like that.”
“I don't want to rule the world. I just want my crew to be able to eat.”
“It doesn't matter who you are! Your enemies will come to destroy you and everything you hold dear! And if you're weak, you'll lose everything!”
“I'm the man who's gonna become King of the Pirates. If I can't even handle this much, then I don't stand a chance!”
“Thanks for loving me!”
“I'll leave the healing to the doctor. And the navigating to the navigator. Because I can't do those things, I'm counting on all of you.”
“Nami, you're my friend!”
