This article contains spoilers for One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.
Summary
- Luffy may soon reach his goal of finding the One Piece
- Luffy might share his wealth and influence after finding the treasure
- Some fans think Luffy would keep most of his wealth post-series
Since One Piece is such an incredibly long series, right now the ending feels like it will never come. With so much more content gearing fans up for the Final Saga, although every new chapter keeps pushing forward towards the end, it feels like it’s getting further and further away. Due to this and the fact that many fans are looking forward to the ending of the series, the One Piece community often speculates what the ending of One Piece will bring, and what will come after it ends.
This includes a theory that one user on Reddit shared, showing off what Luffy may potentially want to do once the series finishes its initial run. Although Luffy’s current goal is to find the One Piece, many predict the Straw Hat Captain will do this by the end of One Piece’s Final Saga. However, Luffy is still young, and incredibly motivated. Of course, it makes sense that once he finishes his first goal and the goals of his friends, he will set out on a new journey once again.

The Pirate Very Well May Achieve His Goal Sometime Soon
As fans of the series already know, Luffy’s goal in the series is to find the treasure left by the former Pirate King, Gol D Roger, called the One Piece. By claiming this treasure, Luffy would then become the next King of the Pirates, and fulfill his lifelong dream. Although many fans believe that Luffy’s true goal is to be free, that’s exactly what Luffy views the Pirate King as; the freest person in the world. Due to this, all these goals of Luffy go hand in hand.

At the same time, claiming the One Piece, as many fans have pointed out, may be coming within the Final Saga of One Piece. With the race for the treasure at an all-time high, and the World Government and the Holy Knights, who were recently mobilized on Elbaf, trying to stop them, One Piece may very well be reaching its climax. Plus, with the final battle against Blackbeard being set up, One Piece may finally reach its ending.

- Luffy Found The Treasure For The Journey Not The Reward
However, since many fans predict that Luffy will win his final battle against the Blackbeard Pirates, what would happen after he claims the One Piece? In a post on Reddit by miyon_arts66, this user explains how Luffy, rather than hoarding the treasure and power of the One Piece all to himself, Luffy may share it with the world. After claiming the treasure, he would set out on another grand adventure, sharing his wealth and influence with whoever needs it most throughout the entire world of One Piece.

Shanks’ twin is a powerful individual in One Piece. But how strong is he really?
This theory claims that while most strong characters in One Piece are after the legendary treasure for its power and wealth, Luffy was searching for the treasure for a sense of freedom and adventure, similar to the former Pirate King, Roger. Luffy, once receiving the treasure, may not want the extreme monetary value or massive amounts of influence that come with it. In fact, Luffy may reject the wealth and influence of the treasure, and simply remain content with the title of the Pirate King.

However, although this theory is fairly sound, some fans have pointed out that while the protagonist of One Piece, Luffy, doesn’t prioritize wealth and influence, he isn’t averse to having it. For example, on Skypiea, the Straw Hat Captain decided to steal gold from the Sky Island, though he didn’t know the citizens were trying to give it to him anyway. Due to that, many people think Luffy would keep most of his wealth, though he would share it with those who need it.

In the end, this theory presents an interesting case as to what the Straw Hat Captain, Luffy, will do after he finally finds the treasure of the One Piece. After the series is over, Luffy could once again start sailing the seas, looking to share his wealth and power with whoever needs it. Although some fans disagree and feel this isn’t in character, it would, at the very least, be a nice way for One Piece to end.
