I was thinking about how hug-y opla luffy is and I realised that if you strictly consider instances in which he meant to hug someone and not just hold them (so take out every single time he's picked up someone and either lugged them around or flung them across a battlefield) in the manga he hasn't actually hugged that many people at all, has he

#off the top of my head i can remember #chopper right after the second round of the davy back fight #chopper flings himself at him and luffy goes through the whole talk with foxy after while hugging him #it's SUPER cute and also I'm pretty sure the first time luffy hugs anyone in the manga after shanks loses an arm for him #ace. we all know when.#sabo! when he finds out he's still alive!!!!#and zoro when they meet back up in wano #not to zolu but that's the only hug luffy starts himsef that doesn't involve copious amounts of tears #he's just extremely happy to see zoro !!!!!! can't blame him I'd be as well #these are genuinely the only times i can remember him hugging someone in the whole 106 volumes of manga?#though i had forgotten about the chopper one until i reread that arc so maybe there's more I'm forgetting #ah allow me to zolu again but isn't that amazing that oda obviously doesn't think about hugs as something luffy would do casually #but still drew luffy fling himself at zoro on sight after a few weeks of separation #ah #AHHH #anyway yes very interesting #you'd assume with that personality luffy would be hugging people more often and yet #that said a lot of people hug luffy while luffy just lets them hang off him and goes about his way #so he IS pretty casual about hugs #he just doesn't start them or partake in them a lot #i had never realized honestly #very very inchresting #coming back to this a trillion years later to add that he hugs von chan in impel down!!!!#extremely important so let's jot that down
