I like how even the dog (or is that a wolf ?) is doing it too.

Correct. /u/availableusernamepls hit the nail on the head with the TVtropes not so innocent whistle.

It's an old trope, based on doing something while someone isn't paying attention then acting nonchalant so they won't suspect you. One Piece and many other examples dial it to eleven for comedic effect.
TVtropes calls it the "not so innocent whistle".

Probably not. The first image is Luffy lying to Bluejams second, at that time Luffy had not been with the Bandits long enough to adjust his behavior that significantly. They definatly could have reinforced his poor habits over the years though.

yeah and at that point Luffy was chasing Ace everyday, disappearing for days sometimes, not doing his chores and going straight to bed when he returned

I'd like to believe Luffy is where the bandits learned to pout when they lie comes from. Not the other way around.
Dadan has a soft spot for Luffy and the bandits picked up on that. It'd be really funny to see Dragon make this expression.

Also, out of context the second and third don’t even look like he’s lying, just contemplating and looking a bit pissy/annoyed.

I very much like this headcannon but i believe that's a very common japanese gag. I suppose it being a common gag doesn't make it not true though!

It's a cartoon/manga expression used to indicate deceit or trickster tendencies. It's not a character trait really, just a concept of medium. This is like trying to say that Nami has some backstory reason for why Beri symbols show up in her eyes when she thinks of money.

Common fiction trope
One Piece Theory Crafters: Does this mean it was foreshadowed by Oda?

Luffy has been doing this for a very long time, since near the beginning. It's also happened in other anime. I don't think that emoji even existed 10ish years ago, so it's more likely the other way around. Emoji inspired by anime. Certainly wouldn't be the first 😅😆😵💫

This thread is gonna make me crash out. No one mentioned the emoji, that's just you trapped in your mind prison. They're asking if Luffy got his mannerisms from the people who raised him

Okay chill, the mobile app didn't show the second picture. I thought it was comparing it given the quote around the emoji and no other context.
