One Piece 55
Not sure if this is rushing things, but at one point mangaroo was hoping to walk 54 and 55 back to the library tomorrow, so I figured I'd better post it. Will see if I can get through 56 this weekend.

This is true, but there have been times when we saw Luffy get very angry and exact immediate vengeance on someone he observes violating what he considers to be proper rules of human interaction. It's not just when someone hurts a nakama or a friend. He was angry when Helmeppo threatened to break his promise and have Zoro executed (he barely even knew Zoro then), when Kuro killed his own subordinates, when Kuro mocked Usopp (whom he had also just met), when Bellamy beat up Cricket and mocked his dreams, when Caesar experimented on kids, when Caesar betrayed Blackbeard - those are just the first few that occur to me.
I'm inclined to agree with those who see Luffy as basically Chaotic Neutral with a strong leaning toward Chaotic Good. He may talk a lot of crap about not wanting to be a hero because he'd have to share his meat, but when push comes to shove, he tends to take the side of helpless innocents who are being injured. I think he doesn't care much what anyone does to people in power because he figures they ought to be able to take care of themselves (assuming they're not just plain corrupt to start with).
(Oops, I started wandering into some recent spoilers there, but nothing important enough that it needs protecting, I don't think.)
