there are some known and some interesting parent theory floating around on different threads, I thought getting them together in one thread would be nice.
a very known and likely theoy is that Big Mum is Lola's mum
another upcoming theory is that Kaido is Franly's dad
a little less upcoming theory is that koala is Nami's mum
so far we know Luffy's dad, Robin's mum and usopps dad.
and this thread is not only for the SH's parents
Lol Koala is 2/3 years older than Nami I believe…
That is all we know.
We also saw Chopper parents.
yeah I know that's why its a kind of ridiculous theory, yeah didn't include chopper parents :)
We also Know Usopp's mom
I think robin's father is going to be somehow important becuase of this
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v41/c393/14.html
"we'll take care of your husband's unfulfilled wish"
franky's pirate dad will deinitely be an iportant plot point later on.
Also, it is just to easy or Oda to say that Nami's, Sanji's and Zoro's parents won't be a part of the story, when family relations have played such a huge part in the story so far.
I doubt Brook's faily could get involved, but Robin's dad, Luffy's mom and Franky's dad will play a role later on.
And didn't we see Gol D Roger somehow involved with Zoro's sensei, as in they got supplies from him or something?
Nami's mother dying in a mysterious massacre in a random country just screams or explanation.
My theory: Chopper's parents know what One Piece is.
was roger related to zoro's sensei, cant remeber please remind me :)
well all the characters more or less got a mother/father figure in some other character, Nami for example got her "parents" even if they weren't biological
Another parent theory that is well known is that makions sons father is shanks
and could anyone link where they said that frankys parent was a big pirate cant find it
@Vash:
And didn't we see Gol D Roger somehow involved with Zoro's sensei, as in they got supplies from him or something?
That was Dragon not Roger.
Why is Franky's father such an important topic? They all got their parental figures, and his was Tom. There was an entire flashback dedicated to his relationship with Tom; adding any sort of biological father would make all that moot. And the Koala/Nami thing is beyond ridiculous.. not to mention utterly pointless.
The only clear one to me (as clear as you can get with Oda) is Lola being Big Mom's daughter.
I still think Robin's dad was an Indiana Jones-esque adventurer who met his end when his luck ran out one day.
Brook's parents are most likely dead by now. And his life before piracy was never that important, so we probably won't see anything about them.
I'm wondering about Zoro's, though. There's gotta be a reason he left as a kid and moved into the dojo.
I'm curious about Sanji's too, and why was he already working in a restaurant as a little kid.
sanji isnt that important if you ask me but zoro's parent may be a twist
@miss saturday: franky's dad is important becuase its a big new world pirate

That was Dragon not Roger.
I cant remember that either, please post page/chapter link

We know Franky has a father and it was kinda hinted that he might be a big shot and we might see him in the future, that is why people speculated on it.
I was said somewhere that Usopp's mother's name is Bakina. I think it was it one of the data books or color walks.

wich chance of soundig stupid who is that??
chopper and zeo for president

It's actually spelled Bacchina. And Usopp got his nose from her.
Koala is Nami's mother.

Koala is Nami's mother.
theory to support it please
chopper and zeo for president 
Here is a list of One Piece mothers, if of interest:
didn't some one hold a child in skypea the covers or am I compeletely misstaking…
Anyway mother of Aisa?
pls link me about any info/situation where Franky's dad was discussed.
Ctrl + W = ???
There's one fishy thing about Big Mam - why would she call herself that? Dragon for example doesn't call himself "Big Daddy". It would be only be if her identity is mainly consisted of her "motherness", like "when my daughter Lola was young, she said she thought pirates were cool and that she wanted me to be a strong one. I will do anything for my daughter, and here I am 35 years later, still hoping that she is proud of me".
Kaidou - well, there are no evidences for it or contrary. I wouldn't like it, as I want Kaidou to be an enemy (of course, Kaidou could still be an enemy since Franky's dad has shown to not be exactly good-hearted as he threw his son out).
Koala is 23, Nami is 20. That's downright creepy.
Anyways:
Luffy: We might see his mother. Oda already gave a description of her in case she is still alive.
Zoro: His parents could easily be some no-bodies. I don't think they are dead - just that Zoro left them on his own.
Nami: Her real parents are probably dead (warzone).
Usopp: Dad alive, mum dead.
Sanji: Probably non-important parents, even more so than Zoro. I guess they are probably alive (Sanji's days on Orbit could easily have been a short part of his education and he was supposed to go home afterwards).
Chopper: Depends on how old reindeer can become in One Piece if they are still alive. Were/are just common reindeer though.
Robin: I'd say that he has a fair chance of being mentioned again or appear. Just to know if he was from Ohara and if no, why would he get together with a wanted criminal from there?
Franky: Don't think they'll appear, but they have a bigger chance than Zoro and Sanji's parents, being confirmed pirates.
Brook: Probably dead, otherwise they would be 110-120 years old.
pls link me about any info/situation where Franky's dad was discussed.
do you mean the chapter or a thread were it was discussed?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
do anyone have any thoughts in the marines family. Cuz Trane got to have atleast 1 child.
and for the record we know Sabo's parents
chopper and zeo for president 
theory to support it please
Oh, the evidence is everywhere. First off she looks JUST like Nami, second she has a relationship with the Fishman Pirates, just like Nami. Arlong threatened to hurt her, just like he actually did to Nami. It ties in with the whole destiny thing. You know, like Luffy having everything in common with Roger. If you ask me, it's for the best.
was roger related to zoro's sensei, cant remeber please remind me :)
It was dragon, it is entioned here, but there is no source
http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Koshiro
don't think it was Chapter 0 Strong World, so maybe when Ivankov was thinking back to Dragon always acing East, right after he ound out Luffy was his son?
and could anyone link where they said that frankys parent was a big pirate cant find it
I think this is the only reference to his dad:
http://read.mangashare.com/One-Piece/chapter-435/page018.html
but I remeber there being an interesting scene later on somewhere where an important pirate is mentioned and Franky just sort of reacts to it in a silent way, does someone know where?
maybe we could edit all the important scenes rom the manga into the first post, to have a little catalogue of confirmations and foreshadowings

Koala? Timeline doesn't fit, when did the Sun Pirates brin her back? 16 years ago?

Trane? xD Do you mean Tsuru? If yes, would you happen to be Danish as well? 
I don't think many of the high-ranking Marines have kids actually, as they probably dedicated their life to justice. If they have children, they are probably like Garp and want their kids to be strong Marine officers too.

I suppose your right there is only this 1 little thing in the way for this argument. The fact that child under 5 years old cant have children :)

hahaha my bad, its trana in swedish so thought that trane might be correct didnt even bother checking yes I mean tsuru
chopper and zeo for president

NO, I mean in Manga cuz I never noticed anything/anyone talking about Frank's dad or hinting about him.
hahaha my bad, its trana in swedish so thought that trane might be correct didnt even bother checking yes I mean tsuru
Oh fine. ;) It's just that Tsuru is the Japanese word for the bird called a crane, and that bird is called "trane" in Danish, therefore Tsuru's name in the Danish translation is also Trane, so I thought you had it from there.

there was 1 time when tom talked about franky I think, and "famous pirate" was sais, cant fint it either
yeah posting all the important lines together would be a good idea but first i need more pages

I already commented on the age difference, but Nojiko and Bell-Mére actually look like Nami more than Koala, and a big point was made of them being a family even though they were NOT biologically related.
the suspicious scene with Franky
http://read.mangashare.com/One-Piece/chapter-506/page008.html
this plus the next page
His reaction seems fishy, to e at least. Could it mean Rayleigh is his dad, but ranky didnt want to say anything?
Dunno, but dont think so, but I do think iot could entail that franky's Dad was on the Oro Jackson, I mean, he was cast off at Water 7, Tom built the Oro there, Franky is definitely the right age, he must have been 3 or so, when the Oro was built (dont quote me on that, Im guessing)
that isnt either, I'm almost sure that in frankys flashback something about bigpirate dad is named
Sarcasm is so hard to convoy on the internet.

I swear I saw your post and though for myself lets see how many fall for that :D.
Well I would actually like Franky father to be the "bronze" dude from Roger crew, I don't even have any base or theory, just wishfull thinking(I think other options are more viable though, even though none of them hold any ground right now).
Kaidou - well, there are no evidences for it or contrary. I wouldn't like it, as I want Kaidou to be an enemy (of course, Kaidou could still be an enemy since Franky's dad has shown to not be exactly good-hearted as he threw his son out).
I seriously doubt it. If Franky has an outright bad relationship with his father, then it should end in Franky defeating his father in a fight, and it's quite unlikely that Franky would defeat a Yonkou. Letting Luffy or someone else fight Kaidou is out of the question too because it'd be letting other people interferre with family affairs.

Sigh…it'd be like a dream.
Ironically when the chapter that explained the Four Emperors came out, a mistranlation/fake said that Franky's dad was one of them.

Sorry to be cynical; why exactly do we need a thread for this?
