Nami has traveled all over the Grand Line in the past ten years. She should have no problem drawing a map of the Grand Line, but she is far from being able to draw a world map. Even though she is so close to the One Piece, she still has a long way to go. The Grand Line is too small a scope for the whole world!
Usopp wants to become a brave warrior of the sea. For others, this is the easiest thing to achieve, as they are all daring and adventurous. But for Usopp, an ordinary person, it is quite difficult!
Courage! It's an adjective that requires you to overcome your own inner self. Your opponent is yourself. Many invincible people's ultimate opponent is themselves. But after ten years of honing his skills, even if Usopp hadn't gone to Laugh Tale, no one would deny his courage!
Sanji wants to find a place where fish from the East Blue, South Blue, West Blue, and North Blue gather. Does such a place exist in this world?
Of course there is. This place is at Twin Cape. The seawater from Four Blues converges at Twin Cape after passing through Reverse Mountain. So, could the fish from Four Blues come to the starting point of the Grand Line with these ocean currents?
But is this the All Blue in Sanji's heart? Of course not, or rather, not entirely. The All Blue that Sanji is looking for is not just the one in reality. In fact, it is just a personification of Sanji's pursuit of his own cooking skills and the diversity of food!
Why did he want to find Allblue? Of course, it was for the richest aquatic resources from all over the world inside. Were these aquatic products just for looking at? Of course, they were to be made into all sorts of delicious foods, and culinary skills were the foundation of that; otherwise, it would be a waste of these ingredients!
So over the past ten years, Sanji has seen all kinds of delicious food and learned all kinds of cooking techniques. His cooking skills have been improving, and his recipes have been expanding. One day, when Sanji understands his own heart, he will be able to truly find his All Blue!
Chopper wants to become a panacea, a miracle doctor who can cure any disease, but this dream is most likely unattainable, or rather, Chopper could never achieve it even if he tried his whole life!
Because diseases in the world are not static, especially those caused by bacteria and viruses, which have the characteristic of evolving in various directions over time.
Therefore, there aren't just a fixed number of diseases. Once you conquer one, other diseases that have never appeared before will soon emerge. So Chopper will probably have to dedicate his whole life to this dream, and even if he dies, he will leave with regrets. However, Chopper is quite pure and is very suitable to spend his whole life researching and curing diseases!
If we're talking about whose dream aligns most closely with Luffy's, it has to be Robin. Just like Roger and Oden's partnership, Robin's dream is to find out what happened during the Void Century, events that the World Government has already buried in history!
What has survived is most likely recorded in the Poneglyph and Laugh Tale.
By now, Luffy Poneglyph the Grand Line, and Robin does know some of the truth about the Void Century, but only a small part of it.
According to the Poneglyph, Robin knows that the rest of history is in Laugh Tale, so Robin's dream is the same as Luffy's Laugh Tale: to achieve it!
This is just their current dream; once this dream is realized, their goals will remain the same!
Luffy wants absolute freedom, but the World Government will be the first to object. After Robin learns the truth about the Void Century, her next step is to seek revenge on the World Government. She can't possibly let go of the lives lost in Ohara. When she has the power, she will definitely seek revenge. Therefore Luffy and Robin are the most compatible and are natural partners!
Franky's dream is to pay homage to his mentor Tom by building a dream ship like Oro Jackson, capable of carrying the Straw Hat Pirates to Laugh Tale!
In fact, this is only the surface of Franky's dream. His deeper dream is also easy to understand: he wants to build a perfect ship that can overcome the harsh conditions of any sea and cross all seas to go wherever he wants, whether it is to go to the sky or to the sea, in order to prove that his shipbuilding skills have reached the pinnacle!
After ten years of sailing and continuous modifications and repairs to the Thousand Sunny, Franky's shipbuilding skills have indeed reached their pinnacle, and the Thousand Sunny has become a true dream ship. Whether or not it goes to Laugh Tale is no longer relevant!
Brook's dream? It would be more accurate to call it his last wish, after all, he had already died once, and only on his deathbed did he realize what he truly cared about: his promise to the whale Laboon!
Although Brook had seen Laboon several times when the Thousand Sunny returned to Twin Cape, he still failed to keep his promise!
Because Brook and Laboon's agreement stipulated that Brook would sail the Grand Line for a week before meeting Laboon again, and the key requirement for sailing the Grand Line for a week was to reach Laugh Tale, Brook had always wanted to fulfill his promise to Laboon, but he was always just a little short. Now, he was finally about to fulfill it!
Jinbe have dreams? On the surface, it seems not; he only agreed to join Luffy's crew because he took a liking to him. But Jinbe truly have no dreams?
No, he carries the dream of the Fish-Man Race and the entire Merfolk race, which is the promise made 800 years ago between Joy Boy and the Mermaid Princess: to move all the residents of Fish-Man Island to live on the sea and bask in the true sunlight!
And Luffy happens to be Joy Boy of this generation, so Jinbe joining the Straw Hat Pirates greatly promotes the dream of the entire clan. However, this dream cannot be realized simply by going to Laugh Tale, at least the World Government will not just stand by and watch them do so!
Aokiji, the last member to join the Straw Hat Pirates, came with his own goals. His short-term goal was to end the Great Pirate Era, and his long-term goal was to overthrow the World Government, the scourge that constantly creates pirates!
After learning about Aokiji's goal, Vic realized that it aligned well with that of Luffy and his father, and ultimately pushed him towards joining the Straw Hat Pirates.
However, Aokiji's goal is a bit too ambitious and impossible to achieve completely. Even if the World Government is overthrown, it's impossible for pirates to completely disappear. Just like the world Vic lived in before, crime is still hard to eradicate. That's human nature. But as long as it's dealt with in time, it won't be a big problem. I think Aokiji can accept it!
They have now arrived at the entrance to Laugh Tale, and in just a few days, they will become the second pirate crew after Roger Pirates's to complete a voyage around the world!
But what will happen to them after they're done? Will they continue their adventures together? Or will they disband like the Roger Pirates?
Therefore, the Straw Hat Pirates members not only had expectations and excitement for Laugh Tale, but also complex feelings of anxiety and confusion!
Just like when you're about to finish a novel, there's always a sense of loss. You want a perfect ending, but you're also sad that the beautiful story is really coming to an end!
The Straw Hat Pirates members have lived together for ten years, with even the shortest relationship, Aokiji's, being eight. This bond is only stronger than after reading a novel, and perhaps slightly stronger than the death of a loved one!
