I remember the mangaka of One Piece specifically noting that it was "Luffy" not "Ruffy", but this was a rare case. da's one of those mangaka who commonly mixes in other languages into his work for variety hence why on occasion there are spanish, english, french and german words. When I was a serious editor on the One piece wikia we had to adopt a system of "official" naming. It went; manga, Oda's talk column the "SBS" section, Anime, S. Jump magazine,, scanalation/dubbers, official dub. Without this order it was sometimes impossible to determine things, because in one case Oda would supply one spelling and in another, a second alternative spelling would appear.
