I've been watching one piece for a good long time now, but ever since one episode when Ace pretty much called his brother "Special" at the start of the Alabasta arc, and commenting on how he is glad that Luffy's crew can help his "special" brother, I've always had this suspection.
He seems always forgets half the people he meets. He can easily "push" himself, and his high tolerance for pain. He has a childs mind despite being 17-18 years old "not childish, I mean he is a child". He lack social inhibitors at times. His disregard for social rules "umm pirate?". May I go on?
Granted, I would actually enjoy the series even more if this is true, since that would defenatly be different, and makes the story even more inspiring .
thoughts?
