One Piece: The Weirdest Creatures Luffy Invited to Join the Straw Hat Pirates

Luffy has a unique habit when it comes to recruiting crew members. He just can't stop himself from inviting the weirdest creatures to be his nakama.

The Straw Hats Pirates, excluding the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, are one of the pirate crews with the fewest members in the world of One Piece. Naturally, each member had to get Luffy's approval prior to calling themselves a Straw Hat, and the eccentric captain's standards are quite hard to predict. The rubber man even declined the Grand Fleet's proposal of serving under him. However, there is one surefire way to receive an invitation from Luffy; be a weird creature.

Luffy seems to lose any capability to think after encountering a creature beyond his comprehension, and his typical response is to invite said creature to join his crew. Brook was a first-hand witness to this. The Straw Hats first met Brook at Florian Triangle, where the skeleton man was sailing alone. Luffy immediately asked him to join his crew after realizing that he was a talking skeleton, and this was before Luffy even knew of his background or musical talents. However, Brook isn't the only one who received such treatment.
