One piece gay characters

Throughout his journey, Luffy assembles a motley crew vested with different specialties and superpowers. One Piece’s fictional universe is rich with its own geography, cultures, lore, and magic, and yet, what struck me the most was a message that Oda had not intended to convey: lessons on the complexity of trans identity and the position of queer identities in society.

There has been much debate on the prevalence of queerness in One Piece. While some think the representation is meaningful, others see aspects of it as highly problema
