What do you guys think:

Luffy will do after he finds One Piece and becomes King of the Pirates?
Sanji, after he finds all blue?
Nami, when she has drawn her map of the world?
Zoro when he becomes the greatest swordsman in the world?
Usopp when he has become a great pirate?

Something tells me... the series will end. And that'll be that. Maybe we'll get an epilogue (sp?), maybe not.

Luffy may be executed. If not, he'll be on the run from the marines, unless the world government changes drastically so that they punish people for DOING SOMETHING WRONG rather than just being pirates (I mean, I guess pirate implies stealing from people, but still, it's not like they have any reason to be after Luffy, well, at least no in the pursuit of justice, anyway). I assume that, if he's on the run, everyone else will remain with him. I doubt that any of the main characters will marry each other, seems to cliched if you ask me. Not to mention that Sanji's the only one who's shown any interest in that sort of thing, and Nami uses it to play him for a sucker. Actually, he might have a shot with Robin, I haven't gotten to her yet. Uh... something will happen between Zoro and Tashigi, but that'll be before the end of the series, so it's not relevant.

Actually, I predict this will be a very interesting thing to see happen in the series (if it ever does and Oda doesn't go stupid and turn One Piece in to the next Inuyasha [meaning it becomes so long that it looses it's main purpose because it runs out of ways to advance the plot and falls into a monster-of-the-week formula]). I mean, thus far the series' message has been "Follow your dreams," so what happens when you obtain your dreams? Do you have nothing to live for anymore? I think that, whatever Oda does with it, it'll be something worth seeing.

He'll probably be contested for the title for the rest of his life.

He'll probably make his own resturant like Baratie and spend the rest of his days there.

She could go back to Coco Village and finally settle down.

Quote:
 
Zoro when he becomes the greatest swordsman in the world?


He would probably return to the town where he learned swordsmanship and take over as head of the Dojo.

Usopp when he has become a great pirate


Will he ever be? I dunno. But what I do know is that he might look for his father and they'll probably form their own father and son pirate crew.

Ginkan, do you really think the Straw-Hat Pirates will split up? I think when Luffy becomes the Pirate King, he'll need them more than ever. Or do you expect him to go and recruit a whole new crew?

I don't see most of them wanting to leave anyway:

Usopp's dream is to be a great pirate, so he wouldn't be going anywhere. Why try to integrate himself into another crew when he already has a respected place in Luffy's?

Zoro, like Luffy, will be contested for his title, so he needs to keep challenging himself and developing his skills even further if he plans to keep it. Seems to be the best way for him to do that is to stay with Luffy where he can be sure of coming up against tough opponents all the time. He won't get that in the dojo. Plus, he won't leave while Luffy needs him.

Nami might go - after all, she never really wanted to be a pirate. But I doubt she'll really want to leave her nakama - the first crew that she really felt part of, and that accepted her.

Sanji might also leave eventually and start his own restaurant (especially if Nami leaves). But I think he'll stick around for awhile. This is the first group of people he's been with who haven't laughed at his dream, I doubt he'd be eager to leave them.

You didn't mention Chopper, but he'd have to be stupid to walk away from the only people who really accepted him without a REALLY good reason, so he'll stay too.
I've felt this way before. The world goes deafeningly silent. I hear my heartbeat thundering in my ears. This must truly be... the brink of death.

I hear it. The breath of his steel. A katana follows will...

All that's left... is to see if I truly have the power to cut steel.

um if you are asking for an ending to the series i have no idea. i have two very interesting ideas in my head. one luffy gets one piece and then takes the same path as gol d rodger and is exicuted. sad and not very one piece like but kinda fitting and interesting to think about. a time jump where we see what happens to them in the future. anyway i think everyone would stick around with luffy because there will always be more adventures after one piece i mean there are 3 other oceans to explore.

Ronozoro, I wasn't really asking how people thought the series would end but what would happen after the series ended. What the Straw Hats will do after their documented adventure ends.

I think Luffy will get One Piece and become king of the pirates which will make him a target. He will need his crew but they have disperate dreams.

There is no reason why Zoro and Nami can't achieve their dreams while in Luffy's crew and Zoro will certainly want to stay and fight alongside Luffy in his increasingly dangerous life. Plus Zoro doesn't really have anywhere else to be.

Usopp, on the other hand, may go back to Kaya. He really want's to be a capatin though so he may start his own crew, possibly tracking down the veggies.

Once Nami completes her map I can see her going onto different things. Maybe going home and helping her village proper in her own special way.

Sanji is going to find it very hard to capitalise on what he finds in All Blue on Luffy's ship.
He may start a resturant there for hungry travellers or the Line.

Chopper will also find it hard to cure every disease spending so much time at sea with no other doctors around, however, he may decide Nakama mean more to him so he may be content to do what he can with his medicine while helping the Straw Hats. Unless he can find an accepting DR to train him further he will most likely stay with Luffy.

Nico Robin will probably be happy sailing with Luffy for a while but she will miss seeing too many inland ruins and other places. She will need more control over her movements but may join up with Luffy from time to time.

Of course, I would love to see them all stay together.
It does seem that their different dreams may divide them though.

i think they would all acomplish their dreams before the series ends otherwise i think i would be alittle disapointed. it wouldnt be that hard. i mean luffys goal is obviously the end of the series but the others goals can be aceived there too.
~there are things that sugest that the true history is tied into the rout you take to find one piece.
~zoro is bound to meet mihawk by traveling further into the grand line and i cant see the series ending without that battle.
~chopper while i dont think he will ever cure all deseases is getting alot of experiance being a doctor on their ship, he is gaining confidence and learning about the world outside of drum. he is accepted in luffys crew and i cant see him leaving.
~nami wants to make a map of the word so she still has to go through the grand line and then north south and west blue so she could stay charting with luffy for ever and never finish.
~sanji wants to find all blue and thats some where in the grand line so he should find it before or at raftel
~usopps dream is to be a brave worrior of the sea so he is already acceiving his goal he just has to realize it
so i think it would be simple to have everyone acheive their goals by the end (excluding nami and choper) and i would be disapointed if they didnt.
but i think they would stay together. Even usopp, they could go back to Syrup vilage to visit, i mean usopp's father left him for a great pirate crew i think usopp would do the same.

oh and RedPirate they are not the veggies <_< they are Usopp's Pirates. in the japanese version they are named Ninjin (carrot), Tamanegi (onion), and Piman (pepper) but that is just a reference to how they look. besides that there was no reference to food. the veggie pirates is something 4kids made up.

Maybe when Luffy finds One Piece, the Marines will hunt him, then Luffy will plead his nakama to run away while they still can, and Luffy later gets captured and executed at Loguetown (Or maybe even Fuschia Village, since he was born there). Then the rest of the Straw Hats will have to live in hiding if they have a bounty on them or if the Marines listed them as part of Luffy's crew. Or, they can live a double-life, until they realize that it doesn't matter whether or not when they die, but it's about how they die, so as the years go by, they decide to go on a final journey, eventually get captured by the Marines, and die in glory, all in an angsty fashion.

(Bows head in shame) Of course they are! Silly, silly dub. Brainwashed.
I was sick when I wrote that. Forgive me?

Overchasm Oh, I like it! Very dramatic. It would make me cry but Oo drama and angst! (Of course, in the dub they all go on to tour primary schools, telling their story in an attempt to discouraging kids from becoming pirates or they might meet people who talk like Sanji)

Hn.

Kanthia has postulated much on this topic. Perhaps the best way to end the series is to have Luffy discover the One Piece and then just end it. The end. Leave the rest to your own imagination.

But Kanthia can't shake the feeling that the One Piece isn't the end of the dream. What kind of treasure can guarentee your position as the King of the Pirates? So maybe it is more the journey than the destination. Like, if you managed to make it all the way up the Grand Line you must be pretty damn strong and have a really high bounty by then.

Or maybe it's Kanthia's other reason ;;>>

Neeways, the only people in Luffy's crew who could leave before he got the One Piece are Zoro, Sanji, Chopper and Robin. Not so much Robin because it makes sense for the Rio Poneglyph to be on Raftel. But if it was somewhere else, she could possibly leave. Nami couldn't because she needs to map Raftel, Usopp wouldn't because a real measure of bravery is making it to Raftel.

Now, we all know that Zoro and Chopper would never, ever leave the Straw Hats unless they had a real reason. That leaves Sanji and Robin. Sanji would probably think of leaving after discovering the All Blue but then decide to stay with the Straw Hats who are his nakama. Same for Robin. Doesn't it make sense?

This leads to an interesting thought. It seems as though at a certain point their nakama will be more important to them than their dreams.
