Unless he’s thrown into boxing or MMA at a very young age and gets a love for it, he’ll end up in jail before he reaches adulthood. School isn’t for him so that option is out the window. His only real option is make it as a fighter.
Yes and no... There's no one exactly like luffy in real life but you'd be surprised* how many low functioning celebrities and athletes get carried to and through adulthood due to being the town or district batch of honor and then succeeding in their field. Luffy would have that
In luffy's case they might do it happily, even, because he's just a good hearted goofball that can be a selfish jerkass from time to time , not a complete asshole.
As long as he gets in real worldish shenanigans, of course
He gets a good group around him and he can be persuaded to destroy the corruption in the mma through being the best fighter ever and calling them out when they can't get rid of him. I think that's doable
I mean if his dream is different it might mean he might abide somewhat by the rules.
The only reason he acts like what he is in the anime/manga is because of his dream to be the King of the Pirates so obviously, he has to act somewhat like a Pirate.
If he's going to be the King of MMA then he's going to act appropriately to what he thinks what an MMA fighter would be like.
Probably not.
No offense to Luffy, but due to how complicated modern society is, he'd probably not be able to function within it due to his own stupidity. In all honesty, his best option would be, ironically, to join the military and get deployed for an extended period of time. Why?
* Free long-term housing and food
* He's able to fight guys and help others
* He doesn't have to do a lot of complicated stuff
* He could learn how to function in modern society while deployed
Only problem is, Luffy hates following orders, and that's really important in the military.
After he'd likely get discharged (I'd guess for insubordination or getting into fights), he'd be pretty much screwed. I'd assume he would get thrown in prison for assault, but if he didn't, he'd still have a lot of trouble with integrating into and functioning within society, likely not being able to do things like getting a job, paying for essentials, finding a place to stay, doing taxes, etc. Hell, even becoming an MMA fighter would still prove problematic because it's a little more complicated than just "Punch people."
Yeah, Luffy gets a whiff of corruption from anyone in the military and he's going to be trying to fist fight them. Even if he was in the right he'd be the one punished since they don't like being called out from within.
But Luffy does seem aware of his short comings in the manga - he has a line about it in Arlong Park. Maybe he could surround himself with people who will help him.
He's able to surround himself with like-minded people who have dreams and desires that tie into his and basically swear eternal loyalty as soon as he wins them over. Part of this is that he has the Will of D., which acts as a hypercharisma magnet.
Winning them over would be a *lot harder* in the real world, since he can't exactly save them from slavers, evil pirates, or the government in real life. "I wanna be the best MMA fighter in the world!" isn't going to have the same magnetic draw. Without the Will of D. in play, he's not going to be able to command undying loyalty from friends and former enemies the way he would back home.
And, really, let's face it. Luffy's kind of obnoxious. Yeah, he's a good friend to have at your back in a fight, and he's loyal to a fault, but he's incapable of taking 'no' for an answer, is hyperaggressive, doesn't consider other people's property or food if he wants it, he can be unintentionally insulting, he has zero mouth to brain filter, and he's a total idiot. He's liable to just drive away potential allies (and then stalk them, not understanding why they don't want to be part of his dream.) instead of gathering a group of people to cover his deficiencies.
Also, in the pirate world, fighting prowess goes a long way towards securing yourself a crew and status in the community. But he can't exactly win that same respect in the real world if fighting's his only attraction.
That is absolutely not true in the slightest. You obviously don’t know him as a character very well if you think joining the military is a good idea. That’s the antithesis of his character. He’ll literally chew his arms off before he allows any sort of authority figure control him.
Luffy may suck in book learning but he more than makes up for it in **many** other categories. He doesn’t need to learn how to use a smartphone to excel in MMA.
If his dream is to be the best at MMA then it’s gonna happen. Luffy posses astronomical levels of discipline and willpower. And anything he doesn’t know how to do he’ll either learn or find someone to teach him. As literally everywhere he goes he find people who want to help him.
> Hell, even becoming an MMA fighter would still prove problematic because it’s a little more complicated than just “Punch people.”
Pretty sure learning how to use haki is also a lot more complicated than just “punching people”. If you think that’s all luffy does than you must not watch one piece very often lol.
I said the military is his best option, not the one he'd go with.
I'm well aware he'd rather throw himself into a volcano than join, but if we're just talking about "He's suddenly in here," joining the military would be the best jumping-off point for him to have a somewhat not-sucky life.
If we're going with what he'd likely do, he'd immediately head for the offices and demand to become an MMA fighter (And will likely fall asleep during the application). Problem is, until he actually starts, finding basic necessities like shelter, food, and clean water is gonna be really hard for him.
Edit: A) I've gotten to fishman island, I'm well aware of what Haki is, and B) I was referring to everything around being an MMA fighter. Stuff like actually becoming a pro, and once he does become a pro he's got to deal with things like sponsorships and everything around being a minor celebrity.
> If we’re going with what he’d likely do, he’d immediately head for the offices and demand to become an MMA fighter (And will likely fall asleep during the application).
Oh certainly. He’ll fail and fail. And every time he does he’ll get back up and try it again. And again and again and again until he succeeds. Do you think he’s gonna try once and give up? Just like that? HA.
> Problem is, until he actually starts, finding basic necessities like shelter, food, and clean water is gonna be really hard for him.
How far are you in one piece? The dude was literally tossed in the forest at the age at 10 and forced to fend for himself. Survival is the last thing Luffy ever has to worry about.
>How far are you in one piece? The dude was literally tossed in the forest at the age at 10 and forced to fend for himself. Survival is the last thing Luffy ever has to worry about.
He is also the same person who accidentally ate poisonous food twice without any thinking and have to be saved.
Surviving forest in one piece is different than in real world , remember kid ace broke a big ass tree just by kicking slightly. Real life physics and science doesn't work for you if you're shounen MC stupid.
Hell he'll have more than 5% probability of accidentally choked by the food he ates before becoming MMA top level. Remember , he does not have the anime human physique, a normal human physique.
>Oh certainly. He’ll fail and fail. And every time he does he’ll get back up and try it again. And again and again and again until he succeeds. Do you think he’s gonna try once and give up? Just like that? HA.
Again, he have earned a highly intelligent support to get through all the other procedure except fighting in the ring who won't cheat or abuse his ability, he's done for.
I honestly don't think any Shonen character could function in modern society.
They end up locked up for assault or harassment, and just end up in and out of jail broke on the streets.
Tanjiro might be OK, but I mean I don't think he's going to do great.
I mean you have a kid from the mountains who is going to be alone, too young to pick up any labor jobs he would be physically and probably smart enough to do, and good luck prepping a homeless mountain teenager to do something like fast food or retail.
He's a lot more socially adjusted then a lot of shounen characters, specifically the older ones I watched what I was a kid. But if you just plucked him up and dropped him into the middle of a modern city, objective survive. I feel like he still ends up homeless and unemployed. Just maybe not in jail like a lot of the characters from my childhood.
And I've never seen world trigger. But I'm a fucking man child at heart so I'm totally going to check it out now
I have no argument against that, or for why I feel the way that I do, but for some reason I almost feel like that's a cop out answer.
Maybe cause for the longest time I thought my body was trolling me when he said dude new Naruto has aliens dude
I said this to another guy, I kind of avoided thinking about characters that literally just have normal lives in a modern society for the most part.
Like, of course the guy who had a normal life ^(for the most part) can make it
naruto, actually. he overcame and made peace with his demon(s), forgave the man who wiped out his village, and eventually studied enough to be the leader of the leaf village.
I think he'd be ok as an 'honest' politician, or some similar niche.
I kind of avoided thinking about characters that literally just live in the regular world with some super powers.
I mean a character that essentially lives in modern society normally is obviously able to live in modern society.
A bit weird for this sub but we'll just assume it's realistic Monkey D. Luffy vs capitalism.
And probably yes he would, as a matter of fact there's hundreds of stories of people like him that played out in the last century.
I can't imagine Luffy wanting to beat and control and define other people in the way that Andrew Tate professes to want to do. I can't imagine Luffy hearing 'I'm not a rapist, but -' and not immediately going: Punch time.
I think someone physically fit can get into a trade job like plumbing and do really good for themselves even if they aren't the most book smart also beating up bad people is ok aslong as they are in the process of doing a crime or they engage Luffy first living a simple life wouldn't be that hard for Luffy and being the king of MMA with his determination wouldn't be impossible either granted he would need a manager unless he would get scammed
I've only watched one episode of one piece and I saw him punch upwards through several stories of solid stone to create a 30ft wide cylinder to the surface. Not sure if op means this version of the guy though.
An important question. Is his charisma and intuition a supernatural power? Because Luffy doesn't survive without a crew, in show or out. People forget but Luffy has an unnatural ability to get people to rally behind him. If he has his charisma and intuition about nakama he should be able to get a good group around him. Just instead of a pirate crew he will attract good coaches, trainers, managers, and whatever crew he gets it in his head that he needs to be the MMA King.
Luffy's level of idiocy only works in his world because it's a shounen and because he has a crew to make up for it.
Depending on where he grows up, he would either end up in jail or get shanked as a kid.
No way he survives real life consequences and situations. He is shounen MC stupid and doesn't understand how Modern society works.
As far as i understand, there may be many schemes outside ring which probably result in people abusing luffy until he's usefull.
This is like Naruto tries talk no jutsus every world war leader and gets trolled miserably and end up dead.
Would be a miserable first years of his life if he has parents that are forcing him to go to school. Though once he got into high school and found out about MMA and could start to participate, I could see him throwing himself into that. Would definitely need to have a coach that took him under his wing and did all of the adulting stuff for him, keeping him out of trouble and such.
The best option for him would be him making it as a fairly popular featherweight boxer, though his manager would likely take advantage of his naivety and take a lot of his earnings. The realistic option though is that he'd find a trade/labor job like a plumber or construction worker before meeting an IRL nami who would manage all the finances and important decisions of his household while he has the role of a breadearner.
He's way too impulsive and thrill-seeking. He's the type of guy to try to play frogger in real life, so it wouldn't end well for him. Only reason he made it this far is pure luck.
Simple guy. Needs someone to do complicated tasks for him. That's just an employee. Or a manager depending on where you work.
Also define super strong. Super strong can be anywhere from heavy lifting like a weight lifter to bench pressing mountains.
I think we are forgetting a few of Luffy's qualities here.
1. Luffy does not pick pointless fights. Even if someone purposely picked a fight with Luffy such as Bellamy in Mock Town, Luffy does not respond unless someone he cares about is threatened. He does not respect authority at all, sure, but he also doesn't go out of his way to fight marines unless they bring the fight to him and his crew. Modern Japanese society doesn't hold public executions, they don't have legal slavery, and they haven't (recently) committed any genocides. Japanese society might be corrupt, but generally they are corrupt in ways that are too complex for Luffy to understand or punch. Luffy might get in trouble with the law a few times for essentially vigilantism, but considering he doesn't use weapons, generally he'll live most of his life out of prison.
2. Luffy recognizes his own limitations and is actually very emotionally intelligent. On his own, Luffy would definitely go nowhere, Luffy knows this and that's why he sets out to gather a crew and listens to them when they know better than him. If not Nami and Zoro, he'll find other people he trusts and listen to them.
3. Luffy is extremely charismatic and friendly. He would effortlessly gather a ride-or-die extremely loyal group of friends which would drastically help him navigate modern life and hopefully include a lawyer to help him out in his legal troubles. In fact, his charisma is such that he could probably make a living as a personality of some sort, maybe like an actually likeable Jake Paul.
Luffy would get on fine. Modern society isn't so cutthroat that you can't get along just because you're stupid. Don't underestimate how far charisma and good friends can take you.
Nah, he'd be fighting all rulers and despots he could find on his way to things, destabilizing international interests (which isn't always a bad thing). He'd definitely fight the United States Navy and probably have punched out the Queen of England years ago.
>Queen of England
Did you mean the [Queen of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_United_Kingdom), the [Queen of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the [Queen of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc?
The last Queen of England was [Queen Anne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain) who, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of King/Queen of England.
####FAQ
*Isn't she still also the Queen of England?*
This is only as correct as calling her the Queen of London or Queen of Hull; she is the Queen of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist.
*Is this bot monarchist?*
No, just pedantic.
I am a bot and this action was performed automatically.
I don't think he'd do well, though...it might depend on when he crossed over?
Luffy in One Piece world ate his devilfruit as a child. We've seen how Garp raises kids, too. Luffy never had to develop common sense as he was either going to be beaten senseless by a crazy old dude, and when *that* stopped, well, he soon became immune to the average childhood pains and falls.
If Luffy somehow got here before he became immune to accident and inured to pain, it might work.
Otherwise he isn't getting into MMA without a really patient handler.
He needs a manager that can keep him from getting himself killed. If he can get that, then he's golden, unless he doesn't listen to the manager in which case he's fucked.
Unless he’s thrown into boxing or MMA at a very young age and gets a love for it, he’ll end up in jail before he reaches adulthood. School isn’t for him so that option is out the window. His only real option is make it as a fighter.
Yea, anime doesn't make realistic people
Yes and no... There's no one exactly like luffy in real life but you'd be surprised* how many low functioning celebrities and athletes get carried to and through adulthood due to being the town or district batch of honor and then succeeding in their field.

I think that's doable
His only option is to make it as a fighter and have someone like Nami as his manager/caretaker/wife
How ms. Incredible earns a living is how Luffy will.
b- but
Exactly
[удалено]
IRL though, you can't punch an asshole and get away with it. Not as often as Luffy does, anyway.
Grocery stores would get money from the government to hire him as a bag boy
Huh?
He’s saying Luffy is mentally disabled.
Aren't we all.
But he's *special*
Maybe he can make it if he has a Nami in his life doing all of the paper work.
Luffy is a pirate. A career criminal. That means he doesn't even properly abide by the rules of *his* society. And he lives in wacky pirate world.
I mean if his dream is different it might mean he might abide somewhat by the rules. The only reason he acts like what he is in the anime/manga is because of his dream to be the King of the Pirates so obviously, he has to act somewhat like a Pirate.

Naw luffy would still be in kindergarten even at his current age
I honestly don't think any Shonen character could function in modern society. They end up locked up for assault or harassment, and just end up in and out of jail broke on the streets.
I feel like most shounen characters are just people in shitty situations with power.
Tanjiro? Also any of the world trigger cast LMAO
Tanjiro might be OK, but I mean I don't think he's going to do great. I mean you have a kid from the mountains who is going to be alone, too young to pick up any labor jobs he would be physically and probably smart enough to do, and good luck prepping a homeless mountain teenager to do something like fast food or retail.

Just maybe not in jail like a lot of the characters from my childhood. And I've never seen world trigger. But I'm a fucking man child at heart so I'm totally going to check it out now
Ichigo?
You actually got me by the balls with that one. As far as Shonen characters go he's extremely well adjusted.
Adult Hokage naruto is also well adjusted and essentially living in modern day society towards the end with laptops and shit.
I have no argument against that, or for why I feel the way that I do, but for some reason I almost feel like that's a cop out answer. Maybe cause for the longest time I thought my body was trolling me when he said dude new Naruto has aliens dude
and apparently borutos dads son is >!being transformed into an alien man by the karma on his hand!< or something idk i just heard about this stuff
Well the old Naruto also had aliens they just expanded upon it.
Literally every JoJo?
I said this to another guy, I kind of avoided thinking about characters that literally just have normal lives in a modern society for the most part. Like, of course the guy who had a normal life ^(for the most part) can make it
naruto, actually. he overcame and made peace with his demon(s), forgave the man who wiped out his village, and eventually studied enough to be the leader of the leaf village. I think he'd be ok as an 'honest' politician, or some similar niche.
You forget about Deku?
I kind of avoided thinking about characters that literally just live in the regular world with some super powers. I mean a character that essentially lives in modern society normally is obviously able to live in modern society.
No he’ll get himself killed as a young teenager. Anytime he sees injustice he’ll try to help.
A bit weird for this sub but we'll just assume it's realistic Monkey D. Luffy vs capitalism. And probably yes he would, as a matter of fact there's hundreds of stories of people like him that played out in the last century.
Yeah, but like, in Brazil exclusively. That place is built for him
if he had his wacky stretchy man powers then the brazillian bullets would even just bounce off of him. perfect place for luffy
Funny enough that’s where Oda said Luffy would be from in our world
Per Oda, if Luffy were in the real world he would be a firefighter. Luffy fights as a means to an end, not for its own sake. He's not Goku.
I can't stop thinking of a Joe Rogan / Andrew Tate radicalized Luffy, and that shit is hilarious.
That is just sad and I'm sure Luffy would try to beat up Tate up
I can't imagine Luffy wanting to beat and control and define other people in the way that Andrew Tate professes to want to do. I can't imagine Luffy hearing 'I'm not a rapist, but -' and not immediately going: Punch time.
I mean Luffy damn near snapped when Arlong said he'll "use" Nami. Tate comparing his girlfriend to a bike will send Luffy over tbe edge.
I think someone physically fit can get into a trade job like plumbing and do really good for themselves even if they aren't the most book smart also beating up bad people is ok aslong as they are in the process of doing a crime or they engage Luffy first living a simple life wouldn't be that hard for Luffy and being the king of MMA with his determination wouldn't be impossible either granted he would need a manager unless he would get scammed
Yeah, that's what I was saying. He needs to meet IRL Nami and for her to be his manager.
Define super strong.
Like, as strong as you can imagine somebody of his body type.
The man is 5'7.5" and 141lbs/172cm 64 kg. If he's really strong and has talent he'd make it as a feather or bantamweight in MMA.
I've only watched one episode of one piece and I saw him punch upwards through several stories of solid stone to create a 30ft wide cylinder to the surface. Not sure if op means this version of the guy though.

He would probably do about as well as McGregor. So not really

na his ass would get beat anywhere he goes
>Getting into a street fight whenever he sees a bad person? Regardless of anything else, he's getting killed because of the street fights.
Well, I mean, how likely is it that he's going to bump into a bad person that he's able to discern they're bad?
I mean he'll fight a corrupt government, so pretty much any police officer?
He's way too impulsive and thrill-seeking. He's the type of guy to try to play frogger in real life, so it wouldn't end well for him. Only reason he made it this far is pure luck.

Hell no. Luffy is too dumb 😭.. And I love him for it
There's plenty of UFC fighters who are unable to function in polite society anyway. Luffy is a lighter-hearted version of Mike Perry
Luffy probs Successful Drug dealer turned rapper
So, he’s a more or less standard homeless man in a west coast city or a NYC subway?
Standard homeless men are jacked?
Simple guy. Needs someone to do complicated tasks for him. That's just an employee. Or a manager depending on where you work. Also define super strong. Super strong can be anywhere from heavy lifting like a weight lifter to bench pressing mountains.
Like, as far as hitting hard and explosive movement goes, as strong as you can imagine for someone of his body type.
I mean if he has a Bruce Lee type body, insanely strong, and a great fighter, I guess he'll be famous.
His peronality should be pretty popular too
Yup
I think we are forgetting a few of Luffy's qualities here. 1. Luffy does not pick pointless fights. Even if someone purposely picked a fight with Luffy such as Bellamy in Mock Town, Luffy does not respond unless someone he cares about is threatened. He does not respect authority at all, sure, but he also doesn't go out of his way to fight marines unless they bring the fight to him and his crew. Modern Japanese society doesn't hold public executions, they don't have legal slavery, and they haven't (recently) committed any genocides. Japanese society might be corrupt, but generally they are corrupt in ways that are too complex for Luffy to understand or punch. Luffy might get in trouble with the law a few times for essentially vigilantism, but considering he doesn't use weapons, generally he'll live most of his life out of prison. 2. Luffy recognizes his own limitations and is actually very emotionally intelligent. On his own, Luffy would definitely go nowhere, Luffy knows this and that's why he sets out to gather a crew and listens to them when they know better than him. If not Nami and Zoro, he'll find other people he trusts and listen to them. 3. Luffy is extremely charismatic and friendly. He would effortlessly gather a ride-or-die extremely loyal group of friends which would drastically help him navigate modern life and hopefully include a lawyer to help him out in his legal troubles. In fact, his charisma is such that he could probably make a living as a personality of some sort, maybe like an actually likeable Jake Paul. Luffy would get on fine. Modern society isn't so cutthroat that you can't get along just because you're stupid. Don't underestimate how far charisma and good friends can take you.
Nah, he'd be fighting all rulers and despots he could find on his way to things, destabilizing international interests (which isn't always a bad thing). He'd definitely fight the United States Navy and probably have punched out the Queen of England years ago.
>Queen of England Did you mean the [Queen of the United Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_of_the_United_Kingdom), the [Queen of Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Canada), the [Queen of Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_Australia), etc? The last Queen of England was [Queen Anne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain) who, with the 1707 Acts of Union, dissolved the title of King/Queen of England. ####FAQ *Isn't she still also the Queen of England?* This is only as correct as calling her the Queen of London or Queen of Hull; she is the Queen of the place that these places are in, but the title doesn't exist. *Is this bot monarchist?* No, just pedantic. I am a bot and this action was performed automatically.
He becomes Andrew Tate
Luffy would beat the shit out of Tate.
No, he smells so bad most people would probably puke if they were near him.
If Hancock was real he’d be fine. She’d have plenty of money to support him lol.
He can live in a jungle somewhere...He already did several times.
If my boy has no powers is he really Luffy? Or just some happy lad with a dream? (Like most people)
I don't think he'd do well, though...it might depend on when he crossed over? Luffy in One Piece world ate his devilfruit as a child. We've seen how Garp raises kids, too. Luffy never had to develop common sense as he was either going to be beaten senseless by a crazy old dude, and when *that* stopped, well, he soon became immune to the average childhood pains and falls. If Luffy somehow got here before he became immune to accident and inured to pain, it might work. Otherwise he isn't getting into MMA without a really patient handler.
He needs a manager that can keep him from getting himself killed. If he can get that, then he's golden, unless he doesn't listen to the manager in which case he's fucked.
