Luffy’s family situation has been a mystery since the beginning of One Piece. Who is Luffy’s mother and what happened to her? In this article, we will explore the theory that not only has been proven by Eiichiro Oda, but also justifies the behavior of Luffy’s father, Dragon, and grandfather, Garp.
Garp’s Child
At first glance, it appears that Garp has a son, Dragon, and that he is Luffy’s father. However, upon closer examination, it is possible that Garp has a daughter, which would make Dragon Luffy’s father. When Garp told Luffy about Dragon, he was referred to as “your father,” never “my son.” Additionally, when Garp said “you’re the son of my child,” he chose the gender neutral word “child” to hide the gender of Garp’s offspring.
Garp’s Obsession
Garp is obsessed with Luffy and Ace becoming Marines instead of criminals. Why? The answer is that Garp is trying to protect them from justice, as he has already lost an important family member to justice. This family member is speculated to be Luffy’s mother.
Chapter 556
In Chapter 556, Doflamingo gives a speech about justice and the situation of the world, which could allude to what happened to Luffy’s mother. Garp’s tears could be a result of his past experiences with justice. At the end of the chapter, Luffy falls from the sky to save Ace, symbolizing that Luffy is his mother’s last hope.
Luffy’s Gladiator Number
Luffy’s Gladiator number is 0556, which is the same as Chapter 556. This could be a huge foreshadow for what happened to Luffy’s mother.
Conclusion
Luffy’s mother may have been Garp’s daughter and Dragon’s wife, Monkey D. Lucy. She was a dreamer and was considered a criminal by the government. She was killed by justice, leaving both Garp and Dragon devastated. Garp took care of Luffy and Ace, while Dragon changed his surname to honor his wife and began a fight against the world. Luffy will fulfill his mother’s dreams without knowing it, making him her last hope.
