Rici, first thing, give me sometime as I have to answer other too. Now I will make one thing clear, one piece is the best Manga and that's because of Oda! He made this thing awesome, and as Luffy is the main character he is also awesome. Being that said, here is my argument. First of all, as One Piece is a shonen manga, their is always the positive air around everything. Now if you go beyond that, you will realize that there are often lose lose situations in life (I am now talking about only the character not the realm so I would just assume that the shonen vibe is not present, which will never actually happen in the series, this is just for the sake of discussion). In those times, a approach like "I WILL SAVE EVERYTHING DOES NOT WORK". How is Luffy arrogant? Well very easy, just see what he says to every one in a confrontation, "I will kick your ass!" is his motto, that's plain arrogant. Also if you consider what he did to Bellamy, that's actually very arrogant it self. I humble person would respect his antagonist even that antagonist is a sick bastard like Bellamy and by respecting means not to ignore him. "I AM SO COOL THAT I CAN ACTUALLY IGNORE THIS GUY" is arrogance.

Blind trust? Of course there is blind trust, take Robin for instance, Luffy took it for granted that Robin wants him to save her, that is what blind trust is (it worked out for the sake of the story).

Remember what he did at Impel Down, he actually drove Buggy and Mr.3 along with him to danger, Buggy was okay as they had a deal but Mr.3? What would you say about jeopardizing all other people around him when he recklessly went to save Ace, I mean yes he had his priority but that was selfish priority Ace was his brother not the Impel Down escapees yet he set his course to Marineford which meant certain doom (they complied cause Buggy convinced them to but I believe that even if Buggy was not there, Luffy would never listened to what they say).
