“They believe in me!!!”
Chapter 891 “They Believe in Me”
Luffy’s fight against Katakuri is often considered one of the best executed fights in One Piece and the fight includes a really good quote from Luffy that he interestingly shares with Sanji. During the fight, Katakuri asks how Luffy can be so sure that the Straw Hat escape plan will succeed, and that Luffy will be able to join them in time.
At the same time, Pudding similarly asks Sanji how he can be so sure that his friends aren’t dead or that Big Mom will love the wedding cake. In response, Luffy and Sanji both simply claim that their friends and fellow Komen believe in them, which pushes them to also give their respective tasks their best.

– When we are once dead, the only thing left is bones.
Chapter 1045 “Next Level”
An interesting moment from Luffy’s battle against Kaido in Onishima is when Luffy is momentarily unable to use Gear Five and remembers that he died before awakening Gear Five. Kaido reassures Luffy that even if he dies, the tale of their battle will go down in history. However, Luffy claims that he does not care about such things as being remembered, as after he dies only his bones will be left. The quote is certainly funny and, interestingly, even appears in Binks’ sake, which has been at the center of many fan theories.

“Maybe I can’t do anything… but I have friends who will save me”
Chapter 90 “What Can You Do?”
One memorable quote from Luffy that showcases Luffy’s unique bond with his crew is from his fight with Arlong when the latter berates Luffy for being a weak man who can’t even swim and asks Luffy what he can even do against him. Luffy responds in the best possible way, stating that he has his friends to save him.
Luffy goes on to claim that although he may not be able to use a sword, navigate, cook or tell a lie, the one thing he can do is beat Arlong. Even so, the moment represents a mature side to Luffy, who acknowledges that he cannot live without help from others, especially his crew, which is what makes the dynamic between the Straw Hats so unique.

“This is not my place to die!!!”
Chapter 63 “I Will Not Die”
Another underrated quote from Luffy from the earlier arcs of One piece From Luffy’s fight against Don Krieg, which was definitely one of the first serious fights in the series. Krieg was a truly challenging opponent, with even Sanji trying to dissuade Luffy from fighting him by warning him that he might die.
However, Luffy simply tells Sanji he won’t die and after beating Don Krieg, he pulls out one of Don Krieg’s spikes embedded in his shoulder before reiterating that this is not the place for him to die.

Chapter 150 “Royal Drum Crown 7-Shot Tin Tyrant Cannon”
While fans mostly remember Dr. Hiluluk’s last words as one of the most iconic quotes from the Drum Island arc, one excellent quote from Luffy often flies under the radar. During his battle against Wapol, Luffy notably tells Wapol that there are things Which are far more important than power before he sends Wapol flying and ends his tyranny over Drum Kingdom. This quote beautifully encapsulates Luffy’s values, which despite wanting to be the pirate King, a position synonymous with wealth, fame and power, values dreams and ambition above all else.

– Say you want to live.
Chapter 398 “Declaration of War”
One fact about Luffy that became increasingly clear as the story progressed is that Luffy won’t help someone unless they ask. After all, as Luffy constantly claims, he is not a hero. Although he certainly is good to a fault, Luffy only helps those who show the determination to want to save themselves. From Nami in Arlong Park, to Robin in Enies Lobby, and most recently Momonosuke, Luffy has many such interactions in One piece Which proves that he is always ready to lend a hand to those he considers his friends, but only if they will truly be saved.

“You made our navigator cry.”
Chapter 82 “Okay, Let’s Stand Up”
One of Luffy’s best quotes in the early half of the series is when he confronts Arlong for making Nami cry.

“Without your help… I can’t become the King of the Pirates!!!!”
Chapter 844 “Luffy vs. Sanji”
Even though Luffy is willing to risk his own life in pursuit of his dream, that doesn’t mean he’s willing to blame himself at the cost of his crew. Luffy considers each of his crew mates indispensable in his journey to become the King of the Pirates and his words to Sanji in Whole Cake Island reflect just that.
While Luffy no doubt needs Sanji so that he and the rest of the crew don’t starve to death, The reason Luffy wants to leave him behind is, of course, because he considers Sanji a dear friend and could deduce that Sanji was hiding his true feelings behind his harsh words. Luffy continued to prove his loyalty to Sanji by refusing to eat anything until Sanji agreed to return, which considering Luffy’s love for food, speaks volumes of his determination.

“As long as I’m alive I have infinite chances!”
Chapter 1026 “The Pivotal Clash”
One of Luffy’s best qualities is his perseverance and his refusal to give up That got him very far in his journey. No matter who his opponent is, Luffy never gives up until he finds a way to win, which has shaped each of his fights in One piecee.
The Wano Arc in particular puts Luffy’s will power to the test as he faces his strongest opponent yet. Kaido more than lived up to his title as the strongest creature and despite being knocked out more times than one can count, Luffy kept getting up and continued fighting. The fight against Kaido eventually took Luffy to death’s doorstep, but Luffy rose from the ashes even stronger with Gear Five.

Chapter 147 “General Lie”
In the Drum Island arc, Luffy stands tall to protect Dr. Hyriluk’s pirate flag from Wapol.

The battle and how Wapol constantly tried to destroy the flag showed how little it meant to Wapol that he was a pirate. It wasn’t something he decided to do by choice and that made Luffy angry. It was an insult on top of injury as he tries to throw away Hiriluk’s flag in disgust.

Chapter 1 “Romance Dawn – The Dawn of Adventure”

“Sniper King…shoot down that flag.”
Chapter 398 “Declaration of War”

“I will create a world where my friends can eat as much food as they want!”
Chapter 1049 “The World That Should Be”
In the conclusion to one of the best fights in One Piece Wano arc was Luffy’s declaration of the kind of world he wanted to create.

“Sorry, but it looks like I’m dead.”
Chapter 99 “Luffy Died”
Luffy’s smile in death was very similar to Roger’s own and one of the many parallels Roger and Luffy shared.

“…people die.”
Chapter 166 “Luffy vs. Vivi”
Vivi was kind and wanted everyone to live. But in the end it was a naive and realistic goal in the middle of a war. Luffy saw through this and voiced his opinion out loud.

“I really like heroes, but I don’t want to be one!”
Chapter 634 “100,000 Against 10”
Luffy’s quote on the difference between heroes and pirates puts into perspective how he sees himself as a pirate. While fans will know that he adheres to a certain moral code first and foremost, he is about himself and his friends. Luffy doesn’t want to be a hero, because that means sharing with everyone. If he was going to share, he’d better keep it to a select few. This is a perfect representation of his journey and why he has such a small crew. He does not choose the members.
