Who's Luffys Dad? Not Grandfather, but Dad?

-
No one knows, samuraizero, but there's plenty of speculation to go around.

(BEAR WITH ME IM JUST UP TO SKYPIEA 262)
Could his dad not be an pirate but an naval officer?
Also another question
Does Ace know Shanks
and go for it with spoilers -
it could have been possible that ace knew shanks but so far in the story there's been no indication of that
-
I think it's very likely that Luffy's dad is involved with the Navy. But there is, so far, no evidence that I know of which supports that.
Up to present there is no information on the relationship between Ace and Shanks, though I think it's likely that they did at least know each other since Blackbeard said earlier in the manga that he knew what Shanks's letter was about and that it was probably regarding Blackbeard and Ace.

my theory
luffy+ace live in luffy's home town,luffy's town is shanks base s he must of met ace cause luffy was always with shanks -
I did find it really weird that Ace wasn't in the beginning of the story standing up for Luffy against those mountain bandits. Maybe at that point Oda hadn't decided to give Luffy a brother, though.
-
Why is it weird? Chapter 1 just shows how many three or four different days of Luffy´s childhood. I could tell you countless stories of my childhood that all don´t inlcude my older brother in it. I don´t see any problems there.

Exaclty. It would be extremley out of place if Ace didn't know Shanks. the Red -Hair Pirates have been using Luffy's hometown as a base for almost a year. And if luffy met him, it only logccal Ace would have had as well. In fact shanks could also have had been Ace's insparation for becoming a pirate.
-
I think Ace DOES know Shanks, but I seriously doubt that Shanks was inspiration to go be a pirate.
Here's something for you: The guy with the glasses that was Shanks and Buggy's captain: Who was he? If he was a pirate captain to two legendary pirates, then he was probably someone very important. Part of his flag is also blocked off as to keep it in secrecy.
Personally, I think that the guy in glasses or someone in Whitebeard's crew was Luffy and Ace's father, possibly the very guy that Blackbeard killed. That would explain a lot of things, since Ace seems very adamant about finding Blackbeard and killing him. If you notice, Most of the D's are against killing (Save for Blackbeard). As far as we know, Ace and Roger have never killed anyone, Luffy has never killed anyone, and so far, Saul hasn't killed anyone. So for Ace to go out of his way to actually "Kill" someone must be warranted by a serious crime, above and beyond killing a simple nakama.
A question, because I never read the Jaya Arc completely: Did Luffy ever hear anyone say Blackbeard's real name? If Luffy had heard that his real name was Marshall D Teach, do you think it would have any impact on him? Maybe Marshall D Teach was Luffy's father, and Blackbeard killed him and assumed his name. I wouldn't put it past Oda-sensei.

I think Marshall D. Teach was the real-life blackbeard's name, or similar to it.
Also, theories abound that the person believed to be shanks's "captain" could have been just another, more superior pirate officer and the crew they were on was, in fact, gold rogers.

I think his name was Edward Teach.

**I do believe ths man will play a great role later on. I also once thought he could have had been Roger. But others say he wasn't. I only saw he anime of that part so maybe it is different.
Can someone please tell me the chapter you see him? I think you see him in the buggy-shanks flashback.**

Real-Life blackbeard's real name was Edward Teach. See the resemblence between Edward Newgate (OP Whitebeard) and Marshall D. Teach? now to figure out if there's any guy named Marshall Newgate, and if they have a D as a middle name.

There were no known pirates named Marshall Newgate (That I know of)
Here's my list of famous pirates and who Oda uses to represent them in One Piece:
1. Roronoa Zoro = Francois L'Lonois (Oda confirmed this one)
2. Bartholomew Kuma = Bartholomew Roberts, AKA Black Bart (Unconfirmed by Oda, but the name and his mannerisms are exactly like the famous pirate captain)
3. Red Haired Shanks = Calico Jack (Also Unconfirmed, But Shanks Flag is exactly like Calico Jack's was)
4. Alvida = Named after Alvida of the Viking Pirates, modeled after Anne Bonny (After eating the Sube Sube Fruit)
5. Edward Teach = Edward D. Newgate
6. Mihawk = Sir Francis Drake (Also unconfirmed, but Sir Francis was aka "The Hawk of the seas", and Drake sounds like Dracule, the other way to spell Mihawk's last name)That's all I can think of atm.
I called it wrong, so long ago. I guess this needs to be changed.
-
ermm…. your number 5, Edward Teach, is Blackbeard.
-
@Fire Fist:
5. Edward Teach = Edward D. Newgate
Huh? Weren´t the names on the left meant to be the One Piece names?
-
My bad, I reversed them for that one for some reason. ^^;
Anyway, I thought of another one:
Groggy = Edward Vernon, aka "Old Grog". He's the guy who invented Grog, after discovering that Rum held up better when mixed with Water. He wasn't a pirate, but actually a British Officer.
Another thing to note: Calico Jack, aka Jack Rackham, served under Captain Vane on the ship "Neptune". Neptune's Greek name is Poseidon.
I wonder if Oda knew this…

Well even then, it´s Edward Newgate. Not Edward D. Newgate. I don´t know where people get that D. from. This is not the first time that the name is spelled like that here. :wacko:
-
i believe it was myself who pointed that out long ago in the old forum before it crashed. it was back in the days when i was a lot like ivotas and posted lots of speculations and theories. it was just something along the lines of:
what if edward newgate is, like gold roger, actually EDWAR D. NEWGATE?
used to haunt me to sleep, now not so much anymore. i got tired of thinking and speculating about it and decided to just wait until oda reveals it further.
-
Perhaps Newgate is after Newgate prison, and Marhall after Marshallsea, both famous prisons in England?
-
E1n, that's an interesting thought, seriously. I find it hard to believe that Gol D Roger would find a real rival in anyone other than his brother.
-
I got bored, so I did a little research.
Here's something neat:
Woodes Rogers was the first Governor of the Bahamas. Coincidentally, he was also one of the first men to Circumnavigate the globe (The real first was Magellan, of course). His Navigator was William Dampier (Read: Will of the D). During their voyage around the world, they picked up Alexander Selkirk, the very guy who two very famous books were modeled after (Robinson Carusoe and the Mysterious Island). Rogers was a very rich man that bribed and arrested pirates alike, and brought a lot of gold back to the British Crown. His nickname was… drumroll please... "Gold" Rogers.
-
Of the 18 and 1/2 century? Just kidding. Nice find, by the way.

Depends. What order is Whitebeard's name written in Japanese? I will assume Gold Roger was written as "Gold" and then "Roger" because of the nature of the split name "Gol", but I'm unsure of Whitebeard. I would assume this theory to be wrong on a consistency and plot basis; Roger is dead, so the Marines are free to change the history books regarding them in whatever manner they want. Whitebeard is alive, and whatever his motives may be, I don't seem him as a coward in any way, so why would he bother to hide his middle initial? The consistency argument is that "Edward" is a first name, not a last name (of which are much more unique), so I ask of the name order.
…
Oh, and Fire Fist Ace, here's something of note for you to consider...the meaning of the name "Roger" roughly equates to "skilled with a spear". Remove the "s" from skilled and we have a painting of Gold Roger's execution.
-
Very astute, Malintex, but the manga never actually depicts Roger's execution method, only the Anime. In the manga, it's never specifically said how he is killed.
Yes, Roger does mean "Famous Spear" in German, but I don't think it's a physical spear that it's talking about. It's more what Zeff was talking about: The Spear of Will, the Spear of Blind Grit. Just after Zeff said this, Luffy smiled just like Roger, indicating that it was Luffy and Roger's dedication to never give up in spite of what anyone (Kaigun or otherwise) got in their way.
Here's something: the Spear of Destiny was the name of the spear that pierced the side of Jesus Christ during his crucifixion. The name William means "Protector" and "Spear" in Old English and Latin, respectively. Translate "Spear of Destiny" to "William of the D" or even "Will of the D".

The strongest implication, though, is that the executioners stabbed him with the spears they were holding. I cite this because Norland was executed in the same style; by all means, hangings should be the predominant execution method, but there are no gallows near the execution stands.
-
@Octogon:
Can someone please tell me the chapter you see him? I think you see him in the buggy-shanks flashback.
I just checked, it's chapter 19.
EDIT:
Whoops. Didn't realize there was a second page… -

I'll believe this if we meet or hear about somebody named Longivus.

@Fire Fist:

Häh? :huh: 20 invisible characters
-
they think Germanic = German. :rolleyes:
Roger is primarily a proper name of English and French usage which means "famous with the spear" from the Germanic elements hrod/"fame" and ger/"spear."
As for Luffy's dad. aparently his is not an importnant element in the story and IMO will not be mentioned anytime soon if ever.
-
now I'm not fluent in German but after wiki'ing it…. I'm not sure that 'Roger' means "famous spear". I think it comes from different elements of German.... hrod, meaning "fame" and ger which means "spear." Now like I said I'm not fluent so I could be wrong.
-
Well if it´s Germanic then ok, but German definitely not. Hence my confusion. XD
-
maybe luffy's father is his grandfather :ohmy:
incest? where? -
Maybe luffy's his OWN grandfather.

Wasn´t there also a Deep Space Nine episode where Dr. Bashir thought that he was his own grandfather? O.o
ITS CLICHE ALSO ODA PROBERLY AN FAMILY GUY FAN RATHER THAN SIMPSONS FAN

kinda, some of the crew go back in time onto the enterprise and he meets this woman who he finds attractive but he thinks she might be his grandmother but he isn't sure and then gets a lecture about the space/time continuim paradox directive or something …at least that's how I remember it.XD

That statement is amazing. It is so short and yet full of mistakes. I count six:
1. You´re unpolite because you´re shouting…
2. There´s no signs in your sentence. Neither periods, nor exclamation marks, nor apostrohpe´s...
3. Proberly…
4. The terrible syntax. You´re missing words in your statements...
5. The missing backup for the theory itself...and the most important one
6. What the hell does that statement have to do with my post actually?!? :huh:

I remember it as if it was his grandmother. However Julian said that nobody ever knew who his grandfather was and he was thinking that it was really him who traveled back in time. Well, it´s been a couple of years so the memory might be mixed up.

plus it was deep space nine and isn't that good anyway XD

What? DS9 is IMO by far the best Star Trek series ever produced. But that´s a matter of personal opinion I guess. :sleep:

what?! Voyager baby, all the way!!!!

Nah, they ruined the Borg with this series. No thanks. :sleep:

Well if I want to have someone to get my engine going I get myself a female instead of watchin a tv series. That´s not the reason for me to tune in television. But I guess to each his own. XD

For my money, you can't beat good old Next Generation.
That said, the new Battlestar Galactica is the best sci-fi series EVER and far outstrips any star treck series.
That said I'd like to bring us back on topic, but I've forgotten what the topic was.

Anyone but me think that Koji could be Luffy's father? He is old enough.
Although that is just a wild theory.

:rolleyes:I did until he freezed Luffy. Maybe Kiji isn't that smart either
-
He froze and spared him.
Lets not Forget the whole Star wars thing now? Vader cut of Luke's hand. Inflicted some serious damage on him.
I think Koji is a lot smarter then he lets on. He is Admiral for a reason.
