What If Zoro and Sanji Died—Would Monkey D. Luffy Stay Strong or Seek Revenge? One Piece 2026
One Piece 2026

Imagine this: Zoro and Sanji, two of the most trusted Luffy crew members are gone. Just like that. Two men who had Luffy back through dense and thin came into the brutal turnover of events. Did we see Luffy accept any heavy losses in one piece, but the loss of Zoro and Sanji? This is a completely different level of heart break and devastation.
Luffy is not a foreign loss. Do we know how much pain he has lasts throughout his life, but these two? They are not just crew members - they are a family. The question is that Luffy would be able to remain the same optimistic, adventure captain, as he was always, or would he turn the anger and pain of losing Zora and Sanji into someone we can hardly recognize? Would it remain strong, as always, or would he choose revenge?
Loss weight
Zoro, a swordsman who swore he was the biggest, was always Luffy's right man. Then there is Sanji, a cook with the heart of gold and a strong leg that walked through countless battles. They were there for him, although it seemed that things seemed impossible, and pushed him to grow like a leader. The bond between them is unbreakable and their loss would leave a massive hole in Luffy's world.
Now Luffy had been losing his loss before - like his brother AS, and the pain was unimaginable. But Zoro and Sanji? They are not just allies - they are his crew, his brothers. The emotional toll that would choose for him is huge and we would probably see Luffy at his lowest point ever. For a while it might seem as if he had lost a spark.
But here's Kicker: Luffy is not a kind of person who stays down for a long time. His strength is not in his physical strength, but in his ability to continue, no matter how hard life hit him. So the real question is: would the pain of Zora and Sanji turn into something darker? Would he look for revenge? 🤔💔
Vengeance
Let's be real. If Luffy went for revenge, it would be intense. We know how much they value their friends, and Zoro and Sanji have always been two of the most important people in his life. The idea of losing them to someone who is still out there could light something we have never seen before. His usual carefree attitude could turn into a laser -oriented drive to take off anyone responsible, no matter what it means.
Luffy would probably feel that he was building anger inside him, a kind of fury, which will make him pull everything in his way. But here's the thing: Luffy isn't stupid. He knows that revenge, although sweet at the moment, does not bring peace. He went through enough to understand it. Would he let this rage consume? Or would he fight the temptation and remain faithful to the values Zoro and Sanji helped him build?
The emotional struggle of Luffy would undergo massive in this situation. He would probably challenge his ability to lead and wonder if he was even strong enough to continue without his two strongest crew members by his side. But Luffy is that he is never alone in his darkest moments. His friends - like Nami, Usopp, Chopper and the rest - would remind him of the importance of their shared goal: the title of pirate king and freedom.
The power of movement forward
If Luffy does not fall into the trap of revenge, it is likely that it will find a way to move forward. Zoro and Sanji would not want him to throw away in pain or to lose his dreams of consideration. They wanted him to continue fighting to keep pushing towards the big line, no matter how much it hurts. For Luffy it may be a turning point where they take their memories and lessons that have taught it, and turns them into something positive.
Zoro has always taught Luffy the importance of pushing for its limits, while Sanji showed him the value of loyalty and family strength. Even without them, Luffy still carries these lessons. The fire in his heart could change, but it would never come out.
Could Luffy remain strong?
In the world as chaotic as one piece by Luffy's determination was tested in a way we have never seen before. But if we know one thing about Luffy, it's incredibly durable. While the loss of Zora and Sanji would break him for a while, he eventually rose. It would turn this anger into fuel, but not necessarily for revenge. Instead, he would honor them by moving forward - continuing to fight for his dream to become a pirate king.
And let's not forget that Luffy's greatest force was always his ability to inspire those around him. Even without Zora and Sanji, the rest of the crew would gather around him. They would remind him that the adventure would not stop, and still there is a world to come there to conquer it.
Luffy is a warrior at his core. But he is also a protector - a man who appreciates his friends and dreams. The loss of Zoro and Sanji would break him in a way that we cannot even fully imagine, but it is unlikely to force him to crumble. Luffy's love for his crew and his tireless persecution of his dreams would keep him running, no matter how hard the road might seem.
The real question is: could revenge could consume it, or would he appreciate the memories of Zora and Sanji by remaining faithful to his goal? In the end, know Luffy, it's probably a bit of both. He fought with everything he was right for what was right, but he also reminded us that even in the face of a loss, the most important thing is to continue forward. 🏴
