He will sometimes act as if it is his decision and not theirs whether they join or not (though it is worth noting that when Luffy's decided someone is joining, they do eventually join). However, even if he is rejected, Luffy will treat the person as if they were already a crew member, much to their annoyance. While most people turn down Luffy's offer regardless of how hard he tries, only those convinced enough will join for reasons of their own. However, if the person interests Luffy very much, he will still try to get them to join anyway regardless of their initial decision. The only exception was Franky who was stated to be too stubborn to ever accept joining Luffy willingly (his swim briefs had to be stolen just to lead him back to the Straw Hat Pirates), but ends up joining willingly anyway after being moved by Iceburg's words. Luffy did not directly ask Usopp to join the Straw Hats, however when Luffy, Zoro and Nami were about to sail off, Luffy assumed that Usopp would join them as they had just fought off Kuro. When Luffy asked Brook during the Thriller Bark Arc, Brook said yes immediately. Luffy never forces people to join his crew against their will. Usually when he asks someone to join, Luffy is turned down completely though the way of which he is turned down varies.
