Forum:Luffy use a weapon?

I was wondering if anyone else thinks luffy will learn to use a weapon? I only remember seeing him use one a few times and usually just for a few seconds, but if hes learned to use haki it would make sense for him to learn the basics of a bladed weapon. Whitebeard didn't seem to be to specialized with the weapon he used but useing it in combination with his kaki made it really strong, and helped him get in a good hit on blackbeard when he used his df to stop his quakepunch. Although its not really luffys style to use a weapon, most of the haki users weve seen so far have had at least basic skills with some weapon.

Now IF Luffy ever used a weapon, then given his monkey theme he'd probably use a staff. However, I doubt very much that he'll ever use a weapon.

While it does make some degree of sense that Luffy learn to at least defend himself while wielding a weapon, as he has from time to time, It does not seam likely that he will specialize in it. Luffy has a good thing going. Besides how would you feel if he betrayed all his fist/foot fighting techniques for weapon ones. I would feel just that... betrayed.--Jety Lefr

ok a few things, firstly luffy does/as used weapons before, he trained with a staff (long pipe) while he lived with ace, and he gained knowledge about swords from his time at thriller bark. thou i don't think he will make it his focus Fawcettp 00:46, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

that's actually a really good point. Assuming that Sabo will return at some point, as some believe him to, bringing in Luffy's skills with that pole would make sense. Still, Sabo died in my eyes.--Jety Lefr
