still doesn't mean he needs a weapon for the New World. Luffy is his own weapon, he may not come out in good shape but that gives him all the more reason to get stronger by his own means. A weapon doesn't make a character stronger it is how they use the weapon that makes them stronger like how Zoro trained constantly to become a great swordsman, Usopp practiced aiming for his sniping skills, etc. Luffy has overcome challenges over and over using not a weapon but his natural instinct of battles and he is the type to do so. Take Sanji, Robin Chopper for example they don't use weapons and they come out as scathed as someone with weapons and their strong of their own terms. And if you look at all the weapon users that Luffy has come across so far THEY LOST to him when he didn't use weapons. If he were to learn a weapon he'd pretty much start from ground zero for battle knowledge of that weapon so there is no point. sorry if Pacifista15 if I repeated anything you said.
