Oda has been consistent with Luffy stating he's not a hero. Luffy is not malicious and he is nice, but that doesn't make him a hero. For example, Luffy has exactly zero interest in taking down the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. When he does eventually, it will be entirely for personal reasons, which will be ironic since if Imu didn't try to stop Luffy and kidnap Vivi, Luffy would likely never have done anything to usurp him. He does not care, Luffy does not care about strangers more than thinking "that's too bad". Luffy didn't accept the Pirate Fleet because he wants to be the freest man on the seas.
