One Piece revelou a mãe de Luffy da maneira mais sutil possível

Uma pedaço pode já ter abordado um dos maiores mistérios da longa história da série, provocando a aparição da mãe do protagonista, Macaco D. Luffy. Embora o relacionamento de Luffy com seu pai, o líder do Exército Revolucionário, Monkey D. Dragon, também seja objeto de muita especulação, a mãe do futuro Rei dos Piratas é um mistério ainda maior, e é por isso que é decepcionante ela parecer relativamente sem importância para a história.

Embora Dragon e seu Exército Revolucionário tenham desempenhado um papel maior na Saga Final da série, Uma pedaçoO autor de Eiichiro Oda afirmou que a mãe de Luffy nunca seria apresentadajá que ele não está interessado em explorar essa parte da história. No entanto, em uma história extra que aparece no capítulo #1057 como uma ligação com Filme de uma peça: vermelho, uma mulher misteriosa segurando um bebê aparece em um painel, levando os fãs a especular que ela poderia ser a mãe do Luffy.

The woman appears in a flashback of Shanks, singing a lullaby to her baby. This inspires the powerful Yonko to sing to his own baby daughter, Uta, who then grows up to become a world-famous singer. There is no official confirmation that the figures seen in the extra story are baby Luffy and his mother, but considering that Eiichiro Oda rarely does something without a specific purpose, many fans have speculated that this could be the case.

A Subtle One Piece Detail May Have Revealed Luffy’s Mother

One Piece created by Eiichiro Oda, chapter #1057

While some argue One Piece has too many mysteries, the mystery of Luffy’s mother has been on fans’ minds for some time. Luffy was born in the village of Foosha, a remote province of the Goa Kingdom in the East Blue Sea. His father is one of the most wanted men in the world, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, which openly antagonizes and tries to overthrow the tyrannical World Government.

However, after his birth in One Piece, Dragon left Luffy in the care of the future Straw Hat’s grandpa, Monkey D. Garp, a legendary hero of the Navy who trained Luffy to become a great Marine in the future. Nothing was ever said about Luffy’s mother, not even her name. Later, when the kid was 6, his life changed forever after meeting Red-Haired Shanks and his pirate crew, who were stationed in Foosha for some time. That encounter inspired Luffy to become a pirate, much to Garp’s despair, and he finally set sails for his adventure after turning 17.

The timing of the extra story in chapter #1057 does not match with what is known about Luffy’s past history, as Luffy’s first meeting with Shanks should have been when he was 6. However, there is no reason to think that Shanks did not visit Foosha village before. Actually, considering that the Red-Hair Pirates used it as a safe base, it would be unlikely that they were not familiar with the place already. This could also imply that Shanks knew Luffy’s mother, and perhaps even Dragon, which makes the relationship between the two rivals for the title of Pirate King even closer.

The Identity Of Luffy’s Mom In One Piece Is Still Unkown

Unfortunately, The List Of Candidates Are Pretty Thin

Unfortunately, for fans wondering about Luffy’s mom, the story provides few hints, if any, about possible identities. In terms of concrete details, there’s basically nothing aside from the fair assumption that she hooked up with Dragon and eventually gave birth to Luffy. Beyond that, everything else is just fan theories with some minor circumstantial evidence, but nothing concrete to suggest they were intentionally planted by Oda.

One of the most plausible theories for some time was that Luffy’s mom was Garp’s kid, and not Dragon. While this would have made sense and certainly sounded plausible for a long time, One Piece officially debunked the theory that Dragon was Garp’s son-in-law. In a flashback showing Garp training, Garp specifically says that he can’t believe his son was a revolutionary.

Though that theory would have made sense with One Piece lore until it was debunked, other fan theories get far more wild. The most famous theory is that Luffy’s mom is actually the villain Crocodile. This theory relies on the idea that Crocodile is actually a trans man. Though this theory has its fans, it’s on incredibly shaky ground and would even be contradicted by the possible appearance of Luffy and his mom in chapter #1057.

There are some more likely theories, such as the idea that Luffy’s mom is a celestial dragon, but the ultimate answer seems to be that Luffy’s mom is so unimportant to the plot, that she’s not really a character at all. Oda has been rather emphatic in his idea that a mom is the antithesis of adventure, and though he may have changed his mind recently, or could have even been teasing fans, it still remains more than likely that Luffy’s mom simply has no place in the story.

One Piece May Never Fully Reveal Luffy’s Mother

As is often the case with One Piece, whenever a mystery seems about to be solved, many new ones spring up. Oda once stated (in the SBS for volume 78) that he considers “mother” to be the opposite of “adventure”, and that’s why so many of his characters have dead or missing mothers.

Considering that, it’s not likely that Luffy’s mother will have a role in the story and, if it’s actually her in chapter #1057, this one panel could remain her only appearance. One Piece fans can still hope to learn more about her when more details about Luffy‘s relationship with his father Dragon is explored more in the Final Saga.
