Should we expect more relatives????

[psolaras]

Well in the beginning only usopp had a famous dad,but now so does luffy and franky.Do you think sanji and zoro will have a famous dad too?

if you consider that zoro wanted to go to kuina's dojo all of the sudden and when he lost he said "shit i will become the strongest man,how can i loose to a girl" and sanji was raised to never hit a girl (and certainly not by zeff otherwise it would have been mentioned).but why zoro wanted to become the strongest man (well his goal changed after) and who raised sanji to never hit a girl?

after the last info in some of the SH's parents,i am 100% sure that zoro and sanji will have a famous relative,my bets go on whitebeard on zoro and on a famous mother for sanji

what do you think?

[SabZ]

I hope not. There's too many reunions to await as it is, and if Zoro and Sanji do have famous relatives, Oda is running out of ideas. I think we have enough as it is, and more famous relatives wouldn't help One Piece at all.

And no, I don't think there are any famous relatives for the other crew members. Sanji probably admired women a lot as he grew, and made a promise to himself not to hit them. Zoro had a dream, and influence doesn't always neccesarily influence that.

[ONEinchPUNCH]

If you were raised to not hit women it means someone taught you not to do it. It can't be a promise to himself because then it would have been "I made a promise to never hit women" Maybe it has something to do with his hidden eye :)

I personally don't see the problem with famous relatives it makes for an awesome father vs son fight. To have a son with green hair you would have to have a weird hair colour yourself. So maybe zoros mum and dad have strange hair colours?

[Kyoshiro]

Franky's dad is a famous pirate? how do you know it?

Zambai just said that he was the son of a pirate. Am i wrong?

[Walker]

It would be disapointing imo if he was some no name pirate. But who knows. But I also think their are too many family ties now. However, what inspired Zoro to become a swordsman? Or who inspired Sanji to cook? Maybe they just felt like it..who knows? lol

[GoAnderson]

The starter of the topic doubtless refers to the fake 437 spoiler, in which it was said Franky's father was a member of the Four Emperors. Regardless, it seems to be false.

I echo the sentiments of Walker: having everyone descended from prestigious lineage would be playing too far into the stereotype. As it is, Nami may well be descended from someone famous; Usopp has Yasopp; we KNOW Luffy's family is all sorts of fucked up; and even Sanji has relations to the infamous Redleg and an unknown heritage. Anything is possible, but I do have to say that I'm expecting something totally UNEXPECTED from Oda.

After Franky, any way you look at him, anything is viable, I would say.

[The_green_samurai_ranger]

My theory over Sanji is this, his mum died after getting attacked. Or during his early years, Sanji witnessed some pretty bad events against women.

[Malintex_Terek]

Luffy having some type of ascended heritage was almost a given, since he's the main character of a shounen manga; I didn't want to admit it, but at the very least we came off relatively free of "ultra-cheesy" relations.

Regarding Usopp, his famous father is undoubtedly yet another link between the simmilarity of Usopp + Luffy's ambition situations, so it's understandable.

As I've said many a time before, Franky's father being a pirate was just a basis to give him some connection to piracy on which to enter the crew on. Everyone else on the crew is related to piracy in some manner or form:

Luffy - inspired by Red-Haired Shanks
Zoro - vigilante who hunted pirates.
Nami - theif who stole from pirates.
Sanji - raised as a pirate.
Chopper - raised by a legendary theif who idolized piracy.
Robin - worked with pirates and all sorts of nefarious riff-raff.
Usopp - son of a pirate and head of his own pirate gang.
Franky - son of a pirate and head of a bunch of gangsters.

oops,sorry,ooof i am relieved that franky's parent wasn't revieled so quickly and in that way

@The_green_samurai_ranger:

i totally agree,maybe his mother was killed/hurt by his father or by someone else or something like that

anyway luffy,zoro,sanji and franky owe us additional flashbacks

exactly!!! dude you rock!

for example luffy was training to become strong when he met shanks and he was excited by his character,way of living so he decided to become the pirate king

now in this situation we have both the backround and the inspiration

but how can we explain that a boy appeared out of nowhere and was raised not to hit woman by someone and was in ship sailing the ocean? or a boy appearing suddenly oputside of a dojo and wanting to be the strongest?

i think in sanji's and zoro's situations we have the inspiration but not the backround

[kljs]

we can expect the parents of Nami being mentioned….... being Rogers navigator.... only if the Strawhats meets Shanks and Shanks remembering Roger's navigator resembles Nami..... or something like that....

[FireFistAce 0]

@kljs:

It's semi-hinted that Nami's father is Dr. Begabank. It's very, very subtle, but her reaction to the mention of his name, the convienent introduction of him, and the fact that he's brought up this early are all good indicators. That's how foreshadowing works in a story.

[Dixxy Mouri]

Luffy: . . . enough said. Unless there's something Oda's not telling us about his mother or remaining three grandparents, we've got a lot.

Zoro: Possible. As it is we didn't see much interaction with a parental type figure for Zoro - everyone else had an older, adult figure in their life who played a major influence. Yes, Zoro had his teacher, but this far his big influence, though a couple of years older, was still a child herself. Of the Straw Hats, though, I don't anticipate learning much more about Zoro's past unless we get more into the whole Kuina and Tashigi thing.

Nami: Tough, tough call. You would HAVE to have strong family resemblence because there was an adoption involved, but adoption is a funny thing. As far as Nami is concerned, Bellemere was her mother and Nojiko was her sister. Based on a mix of things I've picked up from various places, though, I think we might get a little bit more on Nami's past. After all, Bellemere lied to Nami about where she found her - who's to say she lied to Genzo and the villagers about where she found the girls?

Usopp: I'm half-interested in Usopp's mom, but I feel like there might be some missing details with the whole Yassop thing - especially in regards to when Usopp's mom got sick. Did he leave before or after?

Sanji: Well, this one is tricky - I've read the VIZ translation, and there's no indication that Zeff is from North Blue or the location of the Orbit when it sunk. Oda's also been dropping little hints about Sanji's background - the fact that he was from North Blue, and the severity of his chivalry (and arguably the circumstances behind Oda showing us the Marine meeting about the Straw Hats, including the mention of Sanji's bounty photo) seems fishy.

Chopper: Reindeer. From what I remember of Drum Island, Chopper's parents probably didn't like him very much (just like all the other reindeer) and even assuming they're alive, they haven't eaten the Human Human fruit, so they probably wouldn't be relative to the story.

Robin: Mom's dead and people keep saying "We think Gol D. Roger is Robin's dad!" Though I agree it's possible, could someone explain this theory to me?

Franky: The dad has been mentioned. We'll probably get something about it later.

Digging up a theory about the Buster Call and it's relation to the SH. Especially Nami and her flashback. In the time the attack on that unknown island was held (possibly a victim of the BC) Nami was more or less a baby. Thus she couldn't remmember anything from that day, thus no chain reaction involving a flashback in the moment the Buster Call was mentioned. I mean if it was Nojiko for example, instead of Nami, then the topic Buster Call would ring a bell, no? Still this is only a speculation and has clearly nothing to do with her parents.

@Dixxy:

Usopp: I'm half-interested in Usopp's mom, but I feel like there might be some missing details with the whole Yassop thing - especially in regards to when Usopp's mom got sick. Did he leave before or after?

Probably Yassop left before Ussop's mother got sick, since it was the beginning of his "THE PIRATES ARE COMING" routine. While a sickness may last longer, meaning it could of started (let's say) a year ago, meaning Yassop could of still been around. But there is one major question; Why would he leave his wife and child alone in times of needs? I couldn't imagine it being Shank's crew, because that wouldn't justify leaving his family for dead.

Otherwise, if it was before she got sick after he left, it would once again bring us to a 'why question'. Did he (later on) hear of his wife's death and if so, why didn't he react and return. Again being in a pirate crew doesn't justify the death of a family member and another member (especially a child) being left alone. Plus an interesting fact (I would like to see) is the reaction of Yassop on the recently shown Soge King bounty.

Franky: The dad has been mentioned. We'll probably get something about it later.

luffy owes us a flashback about the man who trained him and certainly the D and his relationship with gol D roger (if it exists) hasn't been explained

also i don't agree on zoro and robin.robin's mother could have easily been roger's nakama and since some people see similarities between luffy and roger i doubt he could learn the language

since luffy has a dad and a granpa and franky has a pirate dad also as usopp doed and sanji is from north blue,i think oda had planned from the beginning not to show all the SH's background and to reveal it later so i bet on whitebeard being zoro's dad or uncle or granpa

his appearance in front of a dojo out of nowhere and his obsession to be the strongest from the beginning (he said he will become the strongest man so how can he lose to a girl after his first defeat from kuina) and all the other info's revealed for some of the other SH's strongly show that zoro has an unknown background

i think nami wrote down his name and all the other things coby said and from the look on her face she didn't know any of them and she couldn't have known who her father was since she was a baby when bellemere found her

[HinaThePrince]

Except Nami lost/got separated from her parents when she was like, half a year old, so there's no way she'd remember her father's name or that Bellemere told her because Bellemere didn't know either.

It seems very likely to me that we'll get more Zoro flashbacks, since his past in the manga was very, very lacking and was only four pages long and we don't really know anything about his background. I'm not sure about Sanji - it could happen, but it didn't seem like his parents had any effect on his life, so would there be any point of introducing them?

There will probably be more about Robin, too - in her flashback they said something about Olvia carrying on her husband's will, I highly doubt Oda will never introduce him. I find the theory that Roger is her dad just plain stupid, though. What do people base this on, the fact that he can write Poneglyphish?

No doubt about Luffy, of course. But when I think about it, there's a pretty good chance we'll see more of everyone's past. This is Oda we're talking about, after all.

well he is from north blue,zeff found him near the spot they built the restaurant earlier in east blue in a ship as a assistant cook and was raised not to hit women by someone so he must have parents,though like you said nothing is for certain

There will probably be more about Robin, too - in her flashback they said something about Olvia carrying on her husband's will

wow i never noticed that,really? and where did she get her fruit? and chopper? i don't think the devil trees (if they exist) are all over the world

sure oda is mysterious

[HinaThePrince]

@psolaras:

…Or he was told that by Zeff.

[psolaras]

@HinaThePrince:

…Or he was told that by Zeff.

this belief might be seperate from zeff's teachings,he was a man that stole and killed defenceless people,

the lack of information about sanji on some matters and some hints on others strongly imply that he must have parents somewhere,well maybe

[boiga]

I like the "dr begabank is nami's dad theory." Scientists in manga always tend to be captives working for the government so that their loved ones aren't hurt.

I have the feeling that nami's father is the most likely to be revealed. She has a mother figure in Bellemere but no father figure. If we hear about a nation being destroyed by a ground war right a couple of years after the death of Gol D Roger, we should expect nami's parents to show up soon. Also, nami's home nation was destroyed by a ground war, not by buster call. Buster call would not have left survivors or explain the source of bellemere's wounds or why she was wandering through the aftermath.

I think it's more likely to be related to Monkey D Dragon's rebellion against the government and a strict WG example making anihilation. This use of excessive force on civilians would explain why bellemere would give up on her dream of being a marine to save two innocent children.

[Franky]

it doesnt have to be a blood relative. i'd be satisfied if someone from the sinking boat that sanji was on as a child, will suddenly appear. just for example.

[Dixxy Mouri]

@psolaras:

this belief might be seperate from zeff's teachings,he was a man that stole and killed defenceless people,

the lack of information about sanji on some matters and some hints on others strongly imply that he must have parents somewhere,well maybe

Adding onto that, Zeff was primarily concerned with protecting FOOD. When his crew raided the Orbit, he was ready to take everything BUT THEIR FOOD. We have seen NOTHING that suggests Zeff is into chivalry - his main "honorable" thing was entirely based on food. He wouldn't let his crew steal food and he used food to save Sanji's life.

The missing piece of the puzzle is Sanji's chivalry - we're missing either part of his past with Zeff or something else entirely.

The Dr. Begabank thing with Nami, personally, doesn't make sense to me. What we know is this: Bellemere told the villagers she found Nojiko and Nami in a town that was in really rough shape, then told Nami she found her under a bridge (a lie). Nojiko was maybe two or three years old - possibly young enough that she wouldn't remember a lot of details about her birth place. And as Hina pointed out, how would Bellemere know Nami was this man's daughter unless the story about finding Nojiko and Nami was a lie?

@psolaras:

Zeff was the one that taught Sanji to fight, therefore it is very likely that he was the one that taught him to never hit a woman.

Sanji: …I don't... actually WANT... to die at all...
Hahh.
But you can't kick a woman.
I had that beaten into me at a young age. I…
...I'D DIE BEFORE
I EVER KICKED A WOMAN...!!!!
Chapter 403- Mr.Chivalry

Its safe to assume here that the one that beat it into him was the same person that taught him to fight with his Legs which we all know was Zeff.

Just because they are StrawHats does not require them to have some famous relative. It is better if they become famous and great on their own.

[psolaras]

@LightningAce:

Just because they are StrawHats does not require them to have some famous relative. It is better if they become famous and great on their own.

i agree to that but all the efforts they did won't go to waste if something like that happened

nami doesn't have to have a famous parent though something happened to her town

robin and chopper got somehow their devil fruits that has not been mentioned

if zoro was whitebeards granchild i'd say i was more impressed than dissapointed cuz he never hid himself behind his name and the same goes for sanji that prefered to work as a cook in a ship rather than play the famous son

[HinaThePrince]

Good point, LightningAce, "beaten into me" makes me even more convinced it's Zeff who told him that. Or maybe it was just Sanji's luck, being raised by violent people. Haha.

@boiga:

I have the feeling that nami's father is the most likely to be revealed. She has a mother figure in Bellemere but no father figure.

You're forgetting Genzo.

@psolaras:

It was said that Chopper found the Devil Fruit and ate it when he was a child. Robin is still a mystery, though.

[Overon]

well i dont think new relatives will be introduced. There have been pretty many of em.
Maybe we get to know Franky's dad. Other i think won't show up except if we get to see some flashbacks again.

[happyaddict]

I think it would be pretty lame if they ALL had famous relatives… what is this? Some second generation party of famousness?? ignore me

[Dixxy Mouri]

Do they have to be FAMOUS relatives?

Nami's parents didn't have to be famous to be victims of a Buster Call. Sanji's parents didn't have to be famous to beat chivalry into his head (if it wasn't Zeff who did that), and unless Chopper's dad's name is Rudolph I doubt we'll get famous parents from him.

Similarly, not all of the people behind a SH's dream are necessarily famous.

Luffy
-Famous: Shanks, Gol D. Roger, Ace, Garp (you can throw in Dragon by technicality)
-Not famous: Mother?

Zoro
-Famous: His teacher (? - as head of a dojo it's POSSIBLE), Mihawk,
-Not famous: Kuina

Nami
-Famous: None (unless you count Arlong as a force to work against?)
-Not Famous: Bellemere, Genzo, Nojiko

Usopp
-Famous: Yassopp
-Not Famous: His mom, Usopp Pirates, Kaya

Sanji
-Famous: Zeff
-Not Famous: Other Baratie Chefs

Chopper
-Famous: Kureha (maybe), Dalton, Hiruluk (?)
-Not Famous: Other reindeer

Robin
-Famous: Other archaeologists, Nico Olivia
-Not Famous: Everyone else from Ohara

Franky
-Famous: Iceburg, Tom
-Not Famous: Franky Family, Kokoro, Chimney, Gonbe, Yokozuna

[Regular]

IMO I think its as given that Zorro had some kind of motives when he run around defeating folks to become the strongest person in the world.

Zorro is a somebody for sure.

Sanji I really don't know. . .

The others, I really don't think so… BUT

Robins dad = ALIVE

Namis parents = DEAD

Zorros dad = ALIVE

Sanjis mom = ALIVE

[G-Greato]

Chopper
-Famous: Kureha (maybe), Dalton, Hiruluk (?)
-Not Famous: Other reindeer

Robin
-Famous: Other archaeologists, Nico Olivia
-Not Famous: Everyone else from Ohara

How is Dalton being related to Chopper? And how is he famous?
Ok he is now the leader of a country but it's quite unimportant.
Also I think Proffessor Clover was I really famous person, by far more famous than the other archeologists on Olvia's boat.

I don't think Roger is related to Robin just because of the Poneglyph thing.
It was stated more than once that he was an idiot and very similar to Luffy so I don't think he would've been able to learn the ancient language.
It's far more plausible if Robin's father was on his ship.
Though it still is possible. Maybe one clever parent is enough to generate (excuse the word) a genius. But if Roger really was like Luffy… :D ........ no way

[psolaras]

well i am pleased that many people believe in zoro and sanji having relatives but sanji's mother doesn't have to be strong,she could just have a super character

on the other hand i don't agree on nami having parents, bellemere was all she needed,nami is a girl figure stronger than the typical standards that fights for her believs without complaining or wanting everything to be solved on it's own

and chopper and robin owe us an explanation concerning their devil fruits

now i am gonna go a little out of topic

Well though i am a zoro and a mihawk fan everytime i see luffy's flashback i can't understand why Shanks isn't a D.He has the most extrordinery character in one piece till now and risked his arm for luffy and now he is facing WB for ace,in my opinion luffy is still a kid in front of shanks cuz he took that way of thinking from him but he isn't so mature and doesn't think of tomorrow

it would be more fair if shanks was a D and blackbeard just blackbeard

[HinaThePrince]

@psolaras:

it would be more fair if shanks was a D and blackbeard just blackbeard

…Yeah, except it doesn't work like that.

[Urian]

It could be possible if Jimbei killed Nami parents and Bellemere flew with the baby girl to East Blue and when Bellemere started to be pursued in the East Blue someone in the headquarters gave Jimbei the position of Shichibukai because all this affair and for protect the child.

[Luka]

loooooooooooooooooooool

[Apocalypes]

@psolaras:

Well in the beginning only usopp had a famous dad,but now so does luffy and franky.Do you think sanji and zoro will have a famous dad too?

if you consider that zoro wanted to go to kuina's dojo all of the sudden and when he lost he said "shit i will become the strongest man,how can i loose to a girl" and sanji was raised to never hit a girl (and certainly not by zeff otherwise it would have been mentioned).but why zoro wanted to become the strongest man (well his goal changed after) and who raised sanji to never hit a girl?

after the last info in some of the SH's parents,i am 100% sure that zoro and sanji will have a famous relative,my bets go on whitebeard on zoro and on a famous mother for sanji

what do you think?

Zoro was probaly a orphan or else he would not be running around try defeat dojos at that age. he even stayed there for like 10 years. the strongest swordsman thing was after he lost to kuina. sanji said he was raised to never KICK a girl. Oviously it was zeff who raised him like that considering he was liek 10- when he join zeff and now hes liek what? 21?

[Greg]

Zoro was probaly a orphan or else he would not be running around try defeat dojos at that age.

Wasn't that filler?

This is the giggling fanboy in me but I'd love it if the captain of the Yooki Pirates was his dad.

Not that, that will happen because given what little we know of them, they didn't seem like the kind to throw away a kid.

[Saloma]

This is what I hate, just because their Strawhats doesn't mean their parents have to matter.

Luffy: …Duh

Zoro: Doubt it. When he was a kid, he seemed pretty normal (in the sense that his life wasn't "OMG TEH GOVERNMENT KILLD MAH PARNTS!!!")

Nami: No, we've already seen her step mother and sister. Having her real parent be someone of huge importance would be overkill.

Usopp: Yasopp's all we need from him. His mother was probably some normal person.

Sanji: Maybe talked about in passing, but not having his parents famous. Zeff was enough for him.

Chopper: Are you joking?

Robin: Hell no, her dad was probably just a fellow archaeologist along with Olivia. Again, having him be "OMG IMPORTENT!!!" would be overkill.

Franky: His dad is (or was) a pirate, but I doubt he was all that famous. Maybe a bit well known in parts of town (A bit like Usopp was, in the sense that he was popular). He has Tom and Iceburg for his famous family.

I really hope the crewmembers' parents don't end up having a huge impact on the story. Maybe they could mention them, similar to Sanji saying "Did I never say? I was born in North Blue." It's information, but it's not particularly important.

[psolaras]

zoro's flashback in the anime has parts that are fillers???? i tried to look for it in the manga but zoro has a small flashback when he is crossed on morgan's city,doesn't zoro have a bigger flashback???

but if that's the case then him a(fter the first loss from kuina) saying: "i'm gonna be the strongest man so how can i lose to a girl?" is shit too.

Usopp: His mom was a normal person. an inventor, but a normal person… with a long nose.

Sanji: I have a feeling that we'll meet his real parents sooner or later.

Robin: Her father is Gol D. Roger. There's a lot of evidence to this, but no absolute proof.

Roger could:

1. Read the poneglyphs, something only someone from Ohara could do.

2. Roger's eyes are hidden.

3. Robin had a DF power at a young age; being a child on a small island, someone would have to have supplied it to her... say, a certain pirate king?

4. Roger entered Skypeia roughly around the time that Olivia left for her expedition. At that time, Robin's father was referred to as being "Late". A possible theory is that because the Oharans did not know about Skypeia, they assumed him dead during his time up there. Even if they did, it's quite possible he arrived there via Knockup stream, and the Oharans never thought that anyone could use Knockup stream to reach Skypeia. Or a third option is that because he was an infamous pirate, he was "Dead" to them.

5. Robin's black hair doesn't come from her mother, that's for sure.

6. Olivia represents an Angel, Roger represents "Jolly Roger", AKA the Devil.

7. Robin and the D's seem to bond well.

The only hint to Robin's father given is that Olvia was promised that "his work would continue" - I took this to mean he was also an archeologist but now I see that could somehow fit as Roger too.

The only other person I care to see with an infamous relative is Nami. I want those weather foresight powers explained.

thank you!

where was the part about robin's father?????? i don't remember it nor in the manga or the anime,could someone post a link or explain if it was a mistranslation?

@Fire Fist:

Nami: The whole Begabank thing wasn't pulled out of Oda's ass for no reason. I'm about 80% certain that's Nami's real father.

Nami was a baby when Bellemere found her, so Nami couldn't have known. That's the only "evidence" that theory has.

Usopp: His mom was a normal person. an inventor, but a normal person… with a long nose.

Yeah, she wasn't particularly important in the storyline.

Sanji: I have a feeling that we'll meet his real parents sooner or later.

I'm not saying we won't, but they probably won't be "OMG IMPORTUNT!"

Robin: Her father is Gol D. Roger. There's a lot of evidence to this, but no absolute proof.

Roger could:

1. Read the poneglyphs, something only someone from Ohara could do.

They never said only people from Ohara could, if I remember correctly, they said they were known to.

2. Roger's eyes are hidden.

That's not evidence at all. How does Roger's eyes being hidden point to him being Robin's father?

3. Robin had a DF power at a young age; being a child on a small island, someone would have to have supplied it to her… say, a certain pirate king?

Again, you're just putting random evidence to point to Roger. Even if she didn't just find it (which I'm guessing), people from Ohara (What are they called again?) travel the world, they could've brought it back with them.

4. Roger entered Skypeia roughly around the time that Olivia left for her expedition. At that time, Robin's father was referred to as being "Late". A possible theory is that because the Oharans did not know about Skypeia, they assumed him dead during his time up there. Even if they did, it's quite possible he arrived there via Knockup stream, and the Oharans never thought that anyone could use Knockup stream to reach Skypeia. Or a third option is that because he was an infamous pirate, he was "Dead" to them.

I guess this is a bit of evidence, but it isn't enough for me to think Roger + Olivia = Robin.

5. Robin's black hair doesn't come from her mother, that's for sure.

OMG LUFFY IS ROBIN'S FATHER BECAUSE HIS HAIR IS BLACK!

6. Olivia represents an Angel, Roger represents "Jolly Roger", AKA the Devil.

Where did you get this from? From my viewpoint, Olivia hasn't done much to show that she's an "Angel". Roger might be the devil, though.

7. Robin and the D's seem to bond well.

She's met two Ds and got along with them… So? The whole crew plus Vivi got along with Luffy and Ace. gasp that Roger guy sure gets around!

[Angel emfrbl]

I expect more of Luffy's family (his mother, proper introduction to his father)… Because we have that whole 'Will of D' thing going on there. The others, well Usopp has Yasopp, Franky has his father out there somewhere. For me that is the most for family I'd like.

As for Nami, I can imagine at some point her meeting someone who mistakes her for a woman they once knew. And then having a small story come out there, but I wouldn't like to see her try and go too deep into it because Nojiko and Belle-Mere are considered her family.

@Saloma:

Nami was a baby when Bellemere found her, so Nami couldn't have known. That's the only "evidence" that theory has.

I'm with Saloma on this - it's highly unlikely Nami would know who her parents were without either a) a cover-up from Bellemere, b) STRONG family resemblence, possibly as far as a twin (which would probably only be beneficial to Sanji), or c) family birthmark.

Yeah, she wasn't particularly important in the storyline.

Usopp misses her, I think, but she won't have the impact that Yassopp or even Kaya has. It just doesn't seem like that's the case.

I'm not saying we won't, but they probably won't be "OMG IMPORTUNT!"

What do you mean by "OMG IMPORTUNT!"? I think if they show up they'll be important to the storyline (or at least Sanji's backstory), but I doubt they'll be, like, royalty or Marines captains or ex-members of Gold Roger's crew or something. Unless Sanji feels ZILCH for his parents, an encounter would have some impact - this would include feelings of hostility he may or may not have.

They never said only people from Ohara could, if I remember correctly, they said they were known to.

I never quite understood why people jumped all over Roger being Robin's dad, either.

That's not evidence at all. How does Roger's eyes being hidden point to him being Robin's father?

Hinting at family ties, I suppose, but Olivia looks like Robin with white hair.

When I say "OMG IMPORTUNT!" I mean it's knowledge that ties into the storyline, which I doubt will happen. I believe, if we see his parents, they'll be regular people. As with my example of Sanji being from North Blue, it's not important but it's still there.

So then what would be the point of them showing up? My point is that Oda wouldn't throw in another relative of the Straw Hats unless it has SOMETHING to do with either progressing the story or fill in back story. With Sanji or Zoro, it would probably be for the purpose of filling in back story, especially if Sanji's relative is a female.

Luffy's mother or one of his remaining three grandparents, at this point, might serve as little more than fanservice because we've got an awful lot of his family tree already. Seriously, unless his mom is like, second in command of Dragon's rebellion, I don't see why we would need a formal introduction to her in the current storyline.

Zoro's relatives would probably act as filler (in this case, something to add more detail to, not stall the storyline) for his backstory. Hey, maybe there's a special reason he ended up at the dojo.

Nami's family, if they were to be revealed, would be a HUGE plot point because it would take something pretty extreme for her to even have a CLUE who these people are.

Usopp's probably going to run into Yassopp later on. It's strongly suggested he's an only child, so he probably has no brothers and sisters.

Sanji's family would be a good place to explain his chivalry - even if it's just him telling a story about something he saw or did when he was a kid that made him decide hitting girls wasn't cool.

Chopper. . . I think we got enough about his parents.

Robin I have no idea on. Olivia is dead and we think her father is, but it's possible her father's name might be brought up. Don't automatically think it's Roger, either - prior to the 430s, everyone thought it was Gold Roger or Saulo who had fathered one of Luffy's parents. I don't even think Garp ever came up (if someone can prove me wrong on this I'll be highly amused that someone correctly predicted that).

Franky's dad doesn't need to be a big famous pirate, but if he shows up he would probably progress the storyline.

I feel like with the exception of Chopper (unless you add in his DF), there are bits and pieces of the Straw Hat's backstories that are missing, but we have enough extra details to make us question more. So what's going on with Luffy's family anyways? Why did Zoro join the dojo? Who were Nami's birth parents? What made Usopp's mom sick and why did Yassopp leave? Why did Oda feel the need to mention Sanji was from North Blue? Who is Robin's dad? Where did Chopper get his DF? Why was Franky abandoned?

Though we could very well see "The End" without any of these questions being answered, they're still there, and it's possible Oda will address them. Luffy's situation would the exception since we're in the middle of that mess and it's WAY more likely it'll get touched upon.

I think by "OMG IMPORTUNT!" he means a huge player in the main plot, not for helping to explore backstory.
