@M.Hicks:
I have less of an opinion about the women of One Piece, but I have noticed a particular trend: The One Piece World is BRUTAL on mothers.
There isn't a single member of the main crew whose mother is still alive. What's up with that?
Luffy's mother - relatively unknown, but Oda has said a few things about her and believes she's alive.
Zoro's mother - completely unknown, could very well be alive.
Nami's mother - she was found abandoned in a warzone, so her biological mother is probably dead, but we don't know yet. Bellemere is dead of course.
Usopp's mother - dead.
Sanji's mother - completely unknown, could very well be alive.
Chopper's mother - was a normal reindeer, so depending on how old she was when she had Chopper, she could very well be alive.
Robin's mother - dead.
Franky's mother - current circumstances unknown, could very well be alive.
Brook's mother - probably dead because of Brook's old age, but you can't be sure.
That's two, probably three and maybe four of the mothers who are dead. I don't think that's the "whole" crew.
