What If Luffy Had No Fruit & Instead Trained Haki Early?

VIDEO SUGGESTION : What if Luffy was Roger's son and Ace was Dragon's son?

One thing I think you skipped over was if Luffy doesn’t have a devil fruit by the time they get to dressrosa, he would definitely eat the flame flame fruit in honor of ace

I never realized how badass the idea of sea stone brass knuckles are

One minor detail I think you're missing is that Zoan type fruits kinda have a mind of their own, and as such, I believe that, within the vicinity of someone it deems "worthy", in this case Luffy, the Nika fruit will, once again, "call" to his appetite in order to be eaten by him. Probably, if Shanks has it with him during Marineford.

VIDEO SUGGESTION :What If Luffy Joined The Revolutionary Army OR What if Sanji Didnt Join The StrawHats. THOUGHTS?????

I think Luffy with only Haki doesnt even need a timeskip he would blast through Sabody, he is a good swimmer

VÍDEO IDEA: what if Dragon wasn’t a deadbeat father and actually raised Luffy

Garp would be so proud that Luffy is using his fighting style

Luffy having years to train his haki, and having Garp’s physical training, from a very young age, all the way to him leaving to become a pirate, he would be a monster, if Kody could outdo Garp’s punch with just 2 years of his training, with most of the time going to his missions.

What if Luffy had his rubber fruit powers but learned Haki at a young age?

Luffy being a haki master when he starts his adventure makes sense, seeing how Garp would go out of his way to teach him more and more maybe even going so far to take unexpected off time from the navy to give himself more time to train luffy, before immediately regretting it seeing how he became a pirate. I will go as far as saying he might be his Luffy's rival, since Garp was the one to teach him thus would regret it deeply so daily clashed and of course food breaks

I can imagine Luffy knocking Ace out if he turns back to try to attack Akainu. Luffy didn't go through all that and have Observation Haki to still lose Ace again. He would knock him out and drag him with him. Especially with all the WB pirates, screaming at Luffy and Ace to ignore the taunts and run

Pre time skip would be 100 episode's

Very interesting concept. What would Luffy be like if he was a mini garp clone? Honestly i think it’d change a huge part of the east blue, like arlong and don krieg wouldve gotten smacked around faster for starters

Video Idea: What If Luffy Became a Swordsman?

in Ennies Lobby, Luffy would definitely learn some of the rokushiki/six powers to replace gears. heck, when he got gear 2 he learned the flash step immediately, and the "dumb luffy ultra instinct" moment was literally the paper dodge power. imagine he started running on air and kicking out air blades too

What if every villain Luffy defeats join his crew?

1000+ episodes of Luffy just staring at his opponents until they either run away or die in his presence.

what if shanks was never born

Hot take: Haki really limited the fight creativity after being introduced. Instead of having to work around the logical weaknesses of each unique fruit ability, it became more of a DBZ-esque "Your power level wasn't high enough to damage me, and therefore your attack does nothing." I found it really refreshing when Law and Kidd trashed Big Mom without Haki by deducing that the weakness of her ability is that others needed to hear her speak. They locked down her ability to automatically win via soul magic, and her homies had very limited to no autonomy without her direct orders.
