You guys do realize that Luffy is the ideal protagonist because he is average looking and hence the "ideal man" (in asian standards of course) according to a shitload of studies on social cognition?

Whitebeard is no protagonist material. At all. Ever.

Akainu would be the protagonist type if this was a Yakuza manga and everyone was drawn in the same style as him.

Mihawk is no protagonist material either, because if he was he'd either be more of a "normal guy behind the hero" or he'd have some quirks.
