Those Days I Was Forced to Become the Pirate King

With a sword in your hand, a skull-and-crossbones flag on your back, and a band of reliable companions behind you, sailing freely across the sea sounds like a wonderful life. Every swordsman in the pirate world deserves a chance at it.

A pirate who doesn't want to become the Pirate King isn't a good pirate, but Luffy says he doesn't want to be a pirate. He just wants to laze around and enjoy an easy life.

Feeling guilty, he goes to see Shanks off when he leaves the village.

Shanks: Luffy, I'll be waiting for you in the New World. Then he places the straw hat once worn by the Pirate King on Luffy's head.

Luffy: Hey, hey, I never said I wanted to be a pirate.

The first time he meets Sabo, Sabo says, "Let's be brothers."

Luffy: Huh? What do you mean, brothers? We just met!

Later, when Naruto calls him big brother and the Elric brothers warmly call him captain, Luffy starts down the path of working himself to the bone to support a whole family.

When everyone is fighting to be his brother and call him captain, Luffy cries. He'd gathered his companions, overjoyed at the thought of taking it easy. How did things get even more troublesome?

System sweats nervously: Host, I told you to become the Pirate King. How did you end up going so far off track?
