If they killed off the main character in a series they would have nowhere else to go and would need to end it right there. So of course it's no wonder he wins all of his battles.
Defeat doesn't mean that he actually gets killed.
He can always be spared by his enemy (for some reason) or someone can save him.
I mean, there are options.
And why does he has to be the strongest only because he is the main character?

How is he annoying? Yeah, he acts dumb but it's meant for comedic relief and he does it well, much better than any others I've seen. At least he's not trying to act like a total bad ass all the time like every other hero out there.
Naruto is funny-dumb, Luffy is irritating-dumb.

He doesn't brag about his friends, he talks about how important they are to him.
Yeah, I do to, but not every second of my bloody life.

The one thing this anime does better than any other is provoking emotions.
From what I've seen, it just tries to provoke emotions with some 3rd grade emotional moments.

Luffy is unique and interesting and one of the very, very, very few characters who doesn't try to act like he's a mysterious bad ass who doesn't care about anyone or anything. You know, the typical cliche most anime characters fit into.
Erm, he is not unique.
Naruto, Goku, Natsu and some other characters act like twats and actually, I've seen way more 'dumb' characters than 'cool' characters, but then again, maybe it just happened that I came across more often.
But then again, I bring my judgment based on very small part of the anime (not manga) and from my exp I've noticed that a lot of times anime can make funny-dumb characters into irritating-dumb characters.
And even so, if that is not the case here, I've also noticed that as the story goes that characters and become more and more developed and that actually can grow form a dumb story/characters into a really interesting ones.
And yeah, I don't like how it is drawn also, but then again, people improve over the time so, that could have been improved also.
