Luffy initially didn't like [[Franky]], with the latter's robbery of Usopp, despite Luffy and Usopp not being on the best of terms themselves. This led to his distrust of Franky for a long while, before he eventually came around to the shipwright during the Enies Lobby Arc and Franky's eventually joining the Straw Hat Pirates. He is always amazed by Franky's [[Shipwright|building talent]], and is often in awe of Franky's cyborg enhancements and modifications, a running gag among many males throughout the show. He also deeply respects him as a man after he was willing to show his genitals to everyone without shame and begging Robin not to rip them off, so he would still be a man when he joins the crew. After the timeskip, with Franky looking and acting even more robotic, he has only become even more amazed. Especially with Franky's mecha [[Franky Shogun]] which Luffy holds in dumbfounded awe

While initially assisting Luffy only to protect and rescue Ace, the ex-Shichibukai [[Jinbe]] grew so fond of Luffy that he proclaimed while fighting Akainu at Marineford that he would gladly lay down his life to protect Luffy. After escaping the ordeal, he stayed with Luffy on Amazon Lily while he was recovering. It was Jinbe who also brought Luffy out of his self-pity and doubt. The fishman made Luffy realize that even though Ace had died, he still had his own pirate crew. As Jinbe departed from the Kuja ship, he and Luffy expressed the desire to see each other again in two years. Luffy tells Keimi of this desire, only to be disappointed when he finds out that Jinbe had to leave Fishman Island. However, before he left, Jinbe did leave a message for Luffy with Prince Fukaboshi.

When they met after two years Jinbe was happy to see him again but surprised he had not received his message. As he himself stated, he has the deepest gratitude for Luffy and his crew for stopping Arlong. He also wanted to apologize to them for Arlong, since he was the one who let Arlong go to the East Blue. Despite the mutual respect between them, after Luffy announced his desire to fight against Hody Jones to save his crew, he informed Jinbe that if he wanted to stop him, he would have to fight him. They eventually reached a compromise and formed a united front to combat Hody Jones and his crew. After the battle of Fishman Island, in which Luffy lost a large amount of blood, Jinbe offered his blood for the transfusion. Upon recovering, Luffy asked Jinbe to join his crew. While happy to have been asked, Jinbe declined the offer, stating he has other business to take care of first, but said when all that was done and they meet again, if Luffy and his crew still wanted him to join later, he promised he would join then. Luffy and all the crew members show they want him to join.

After the timeskip Luffy was eager to see them again.

During his voyage, Luffy has had a few meetings with the Marines, from the not too serious looking return of Ironfist [[Fullbody]] (whom Luffy met first by the [[Baratie]]) and Captain [[Smoker]] of Loguetown, to Admiral [[Kuzan|Aokiji]]. While some are easy to defeat, Luffy has been unable to defeat Smoker or Aokiji due to their powerful Logia abilities, and has resorted to running away from Smoker when he encounters him.

During the Whitebeard War, Luffy made his biggest enemies out of the three Marine admirals. Kizaru was a major hindrance to Luffy's attempts to rescue Ace. He kept Luffy from his goal multiple times and even destroyed the original key to Ace's handcuffs. Kizaru also mocked Luffy for lacking in power to save Ace. Aokiji, who stated that Luffy chose the path of death himself, would have killed Luffy if it wasn't for Marco's interference. However, Admiral Akainu caused the most damage to Luffy, sending him into a mental breakdown by successfully killing his brother, Ace. Despite their incredible might that surpassed Luffy at the time, he did not show any fear whatsoever against an admiral, as he challenged Aokiji to a one-on-one fight, attacked a World Noble despite knowing the consequences, and attacked all three in an attempt to save Ace.

Luffy has a great rivalry with Smoker since the two met in Loguetown. Smoker is determined to capture him at any price. However, Luffy admitted that he likes him, and sees him as a good guy, as in Alabasta, Luffy asked Zoro to save Smoker from drowning. In Punk Hazard, both had to put aside their rivalry to join forces and face Caesar Clown.

Luffy has a great rivalry with Smoker since the two met in Loguetown. After Smoker watching Luffy show no fear when Buggy attempted to kill him, he recognized Luffy as a potential threat and was determined to capture him at any price only for Dragon (Luffy's father) to stop him. However, Luffy admitted that he likes him, and sees him as a good guy, as in Alabasta, Luffy asked Zoro to save Smoker from drowning. In the Marineford Arc, when Smoker learned that Revolutionary Dragon was Luffy's father he viewed the Straw Hat Captain as even more dangerous threat and attacked him easily overwhelming Luffy until Hancock intervened. During the Punk Hazard Arc, both were forced to put aside their rivalry to join forces and face Caesar Clown.

Despite his fearsome reputation, Luffy let Zoro face the Shichibukai and, after seeing [[Dracule Mihawk]] nearly kill Zoro, Luffy flung into rage but later was pleased seeing Mihawk let him live to surpass him. It appears Mihawk likes to keep tabs on Luffy and his crew due to the vast potential they posses. During the Whitebeard War, Mihawk was amused at Luffy's entrance in the battle and unfazed after finding out who the latter's father was. He also purposely fought Luffy to test him if he's worthy of the next age, even though he maintains the upper-hand, he compliments Luffy's by stating he wasn't as reckless as he thought. In Mihawk's opinion, he views Luffy as a potential threat for the future due to his unique ability to make allies out of everyone he meets, even former enemies.

[[Donquixote Doflamingo|Doflamingo]] originally thought little of Luffy, however, he did advise Caesar, Vergo and Monet to be vigilant of him and his potential. Furthermore, after discovering Doflamingo used Ace's fruit to lure Luffy to the [[Corrida Colosseum]], Luffy refused to let anyone else claim it. He later became furious with Doflamingo for trying to kill Law{{qref|name=concern for Law}} and his cruel treatment towards the people of Dressrosa and promised Rebecca he would defeat him. His anger became both shock and fury after hearing Doflamingo reveal his past as a World Noble and stared angrily as the latter bragged how he murdered his father without remorse. His rage increased after being forced to defeat his former enemy Bellamy due to admiration of Doflamingo despite how he treated him. This fury further increased upon seeing Law unconscious and missing an arm thanks to his battle with Doflamingo. Luffy often refers to Doflamingo as "Mingo".

Luffy had to hide as Doflamingo angrily searched the island determined to make the Straw Hat Captain pay for his actions.

When Luffy regained his haki he confronted Doflamingo, it is here where Luffy reached a breaking point as upon hearing Doflamingo mentioning if everyone on Dressrossa had stayed manipulated no one would have to die. While admonishing Doflamingo, Luffy swore to beat Doflamingo and leave Dressrosa before using [[Gomu Gomu no Mi/Gear Fourth Techniques| King Kong Gun]] against the latter and putting all his strength in the attack Luffy defeated Doflamingo thus putting an end to his tyrannical reign.

When Luffy first met [[Marshall D. Teach]] in the [[Wild Cherry]] on Jaya Island, they were rivals over some petty things like favorite foods. After Luffy got mocked by Bellamy for being a dreamer, Blackbeard gave the Straw Hat captain a friendly speech telling him not to give up on his dreams, despite his later attempt to capture Luffy as a means to attain the Shichibukai position left by Crocodile. However, during the mass breakout attempt in [[Impel Down]], when Luffy learned that the man he met on Jaya was Blackbeard, the one responsible for Ace's capture and impending execution, Luffy flew into a rage and attacked him. Though this led to them becoming enemies, Blackbeard continued to encourage Luffy to pursue his dreams.
