5th place: **"Meeting Usopp in Syrup Village" - The moment I believed Usopp's lie

Usopp is a friend that Luffy meets in the beginning of One Piece. When Luffy meets Usopp, who dreams of becoming a pirate, in Syrup Village, he doesn't doubt his lies or exaggerations, and instead believes in his dreams.

Growth point in the Osamu manga: In this scene, we see Luffy's innocent side, and at the same time, his ability to empathize with the dreams of others. He truly believes in Usopp's false dream of becoming a brave warrior of the sea, which leads to Usopp's own growth.

The Enies Lobby arc was an important episode that tested Luffy's resolve to protect his comrades.

In the Sabaody Archipelago arc , Luffy's crew members were scattered one by one by the powerful Bartholomew Kuma, and he suffered his first crushing defeat.

The Summit War arc is known as the most moving and shocking scene in the history of One Piece. Luffy takes part in a life-risking battle to save his brother Ace, but in the end, Ace loses his life shielding Luffy. Luffy is devastated by the sense of loss that he "was unable to protect what he wanted to protect." However, with Ace's final words "I have no regrets about my life" in his heart, Luffy vows to stand up with renewed resolve.
