I wouldn't say CP9 already identified Franky as their target. They thought it was Iceberg until they were informed the plans they stole were a decoy. If Paulie had kept his mouth shut they may have missed their shot at Franky. On the other hand, his real name was on those plans. What really complicates matters is Robin. They had been undercover for years and only put their plan into motion when Robin showed up. They blackmailed her so they could use the Strawhats as scapegoats. She'd either be dead or unwilling to go along with the plan by this point if not for Luffy. If they found the plans and brought them back to base, it is possible they didn't read it themselves. Instead, they would pass it along to someone else who was cleared to read such things. Eventually, someone would figure out it was a fake but they might not know who Cutty Flam is. If they just looked him up they would find he died several years ago.
Great analysis! You make excellent points about CP9's plans and how Robin's presence actually triggered their final move. The Cutty Flam identity cover-up is also an interesting angle I hadn't fully considered! 🤔
w video but I think that this is a little bit disingenuous because the crew needs luffy and luffy needs the crew it not a one way thing. without zoro in thriller bark luffy would be dead, without sanji luffy would be dead, without nami luffy would be dead, without franky luffy would be dead, without chopper luffy would be dead. they all need each other
Absolutely right! That's why I ended the video mentioning Luffy's own words about needing his crew. They're all essential to each other's survival and success - it's what makes the Straw Hats special! 🏴☠️
I always think about this topic, so I’m exited to hear what you have to say about it
Thanks for watching! Which crew member's alternate fate surprised you the most?
@ I’d say choppers
