This is a very shonen styled series. Wherein the character is devoid of the ability to really look at women as secual beings. Luffy sees Nami with the same view he has of Nico Robin, of Usopp and even of Zoro. He cares for them as trusted comrades on his quest to be pirate king. They are his Nakama.
A good example of this behaviour I would show is in Goku from Dragon Ball. There was no competition for his heart between bulma and Chichi, he kjust agreed to marry chichi from her asking him to (thinking it was some sort of food). Then later, rather than break a promise he made (though he had forgotten about it) he marries chichi and of course at some point consumates the marriage at least twice. There was never anything in the entire run of the series to show any sort of "love" between them, but many times of worry about consequences of actions (more so about if they concerned food (remind you of someone?). |

Luffy is still a kid by default, a rather young, ambitious one at that. So I think women is hardly a thing on his mind atm.
I'd say the one closest to him would be Nami. And sometime down the road *bow chika bow wow* >.> what? *cough* herm...anyhow, I think you get the point ;P I don't see Nico Robin w/ anyone besides Zoro. AFAIK, Vivi is outta the picture since Crocodile's arc ended. dear god...*moves his can of air freshener away from the computer* damn near drank that instead of my soda >.< |

Eh?...Zoro eh. Is it because she tried to get his attention early on by semi-flirting? She seemed like she was pretty much "flirting globally" when she first joined the series, aka, just sorta had a seductive pose when anyone/everyone was looking.
IMO, Zoro might end up with Smoker's lieutenant...LOL. I voted Nico Robin...because she seems more of a traumatized individual and is more likely to cling to someone. Nami has always had the outward appearance of nonchalance (though, it's probably because she's used to being around bawdy pirate crews, and has a more girlish aura than Robin, who just looks dangerously laid back). |

i agree with you people. Zolo is to...tense and he needs some love in his life. i say heshould endup with Nami. Cause they are in the PERFECT age for eachother. Cause robin is to old for Zolo and Luffy is to young for nami. So they are PERFECT!!! Or wecan twist the show up We could do it YAOI AND YURI STYLE!!!! Like robinand nami could be together and either Luffy and Zolo be together or with Sanji. but....thats just me. But also...If we add romance it would just mess the show up so....we should save that for later.

Spoiler:
I'd love to see more Zoro/Robin suggestion; something about just the idea of those two makes me smile. As to people who think romance would kill a shounen series, that's only because we have yet to see romance done right. Too much genre-categorizing, not enough flat-out story appreciation. Too bad Oda's been alluding to no romance whatsoever in his interviews... -_- |

Frankly, i dont c age being that relevant pinkflower... age might seem important at a young age, but becomes alot less significant in the long run. to the point that it doesnt matter at all.

I don't think romance belongs in OP, but not because of some inherent trait as a shounen series. Plenty of shounen series (i.e. Naruto) have romance as an element. It just doesn't belong here because it's all about the adventure and friendship. I also like that the women are strong characters in their own right and aren't just worried about their latest crush. I must admit that romance in shounen series often seems sort of forced, like they're just trying to appeal more to girls.
Still, it's good fanfic material, and I'm pretty open as far as pairings go. The only common pairing that bugs me is Sanji x Zoro, because Sanji is one of the most agressively heterosexual men I've ever seen in anime. He imagines a future child with Nami, even. Oh wait, we weren't talking about yaoi/yuri. Never mind then. |

Fractions? I don't think I've heard of that term before, other than meaning such mathematical terms as 1/8
I think we already had a lot of discussion on the topic of romance and pairing here http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=8866 I don't think there is going to be any pairings actually shown between any main characters. Maybe hinted at. UsoppxKaya is definately hinted at, but not certain. I'd say if ANY pairing does happen at the end of the story, it's that one. I just like pairings in a fun, fandomm sense. I always will like UsoppxNami, though it's not like I'm actually expecting it in the story. |
