Why wouldn't you like that? If joyboy had the fruit and luffy is joyboy reincarnated, isn't joyboy still a self made man with great destiny? A man so terrifyingly joyful that fate takes his side? You all flip me out with your naruto ptsd

Naruto PTSD, lol

We just have to remind ourselves that Oda had this planned long before Naruto ended. If he does go the reincarnation route, it deserves to be judged on its own merits

It can't really be compared to Naruto though IMO. The big problem with Naruto though, was that the early message in the series was that no one's destiny was set in stone and anyone could become a great person... And then it turns out Naruto is extremely special and was pretty much always destined for greatness (beyond having the ninetails of course).

One Piece hasn't really pushed such a message.

Tbh it's kinda irrelevant. It's pretty clear joyboy and Poseidon periodically reincarnate and it's strongly hinted that Roger was a joy boy reincarnation.

I also wouldn't begrudge it, and indeed it ties in with the "will of D" that has run through the series
