Article summary:
We all thought that the ultimate goal of Monkey D. Luffy was to become the Pirate King. But the Wano Arc and the flashbacks to his childhood revealed a shocking truth: becoming King is merely a step. Luffy has a secret "part of a dream" that he has shared only with his brothers and his crew. In 2026, theories agree that this dream is the key to the end of One Piece.
This dream is so "childish" and "impossible" that Whitebeard laughed when he heard it from Roger, and Usopp thought Luffy was joking. But to Shanks, they were the same words spoken by his former captain, Gol D. Roger.
Words that sealed the world's fate.
The Crew's Reaction: Laughter and Shock
After Wano, Luffy finally revealed his dream to the Straw Hats. Their reactions are crucial clues:
- Usopp thought it was impossible.
- Nami and Chopper were moved and surprised.
- Robin was left speechless (shocked).
- Franky loved the idea.
This suggests something massive, such as "Organizing the world's biggest banquet with everyone (pirates and marines)" or "Removing all borders."
The Connection to Gol D. Roger and Shanks
Shanks entrusted the Straw Hat to Luffy because he said "the same words as Captain Roger." Roger also wanted to fulfill this dream, but he arrived at Laugh Tale too early.
To fulfill this dream, you have to be the freest man on the seas. That is why Luffy must overthrow Imu-sama and the World Government. His dream requires a world without oppression.

Buy the Whole World?
A popular (and funny) theory suggests that Luffy wants to "buy the whole world" to make it free, or "destroy the Red Line" so that the sea becomes one. Whatever the answer, it is connected to the essence of Joy Boy.

Conclusion: A New Dawn
Luffy's dream is the true end of the story. It is what will unite people, far more than the One Piece itself.
