Goku isn't as stupid as he seems…actually, it's more like simple minded.....
yes, simple minded is a better expression.
i'd say naruto is the one that's really stupid

You forgot Blackbear.D^^ And Blackbeard isn't wearing a hat btw.
oh i totaly forgot about Blackbear so sorry.
I assumed shonen heros being slightly stupid is part of the cliche, meant to show that they are focused only on their personal goal and absent minded in all other regards.That's why they can be stupid and intelligent at the same time as long as their intelligence is connected to their 'dreams' blabla.
Tho Luffy isnt absent minded. If you ask me.
I mean think Luffy know about most things, what he got to do, why he is doing stuff, can read and see that a person has a good heart even tho they are "the bad guys". Tho he dont show it. And hes fast thinking, caring and he is still not stupid. "Then why does everyone say that he is in OP". Because they cant categorize him. I mean chopper hes like that also but is he stupid? No one knows, hes a doctor so everyone assume he is smart.
Blackbeard was wearing a skullcap.
And Blackbeard isn't even related to Luffy, unless he's an uncle Luffy doesn't know about. It's possible, because the two are very much alike. Many people have family members they don't know.
Luffy's probably surprised because he's embarrassed Saul was a marine. If you were a pirate trying to become Pirate King, would you want someone knowing that your Grandfather was a marine? Luffy probably had no idea about the Ohara incident. It could've been written off as "Vice Admiral Saul fell in the line of duty". It's shameful for a pirate.
The only person that probably knows Luffy's backstory besides Ace is Woop Slap and maybe Makino. But Woop Slap and Makino are such minor characters, so…
We'll know when Oda's ready for us to. I mean, how far into DBZ was Toriyama until we learned about Bardock and his sacrifice?
@Fire Fist:

He is related to Luffy somehow tho remember what Saul said, "everyone in my family has the name D"
Tho i doubt that Blackbear is Luffys uncle.
(off the thread)
(Specking of blackbeard, i think that Blackbeard and Whitebeard was some of Rogers closes crewmates.)
He is related to Luffy somehow tho remember what Saul said, "everyone in my family has the name D"
It is true that everyone is his family is a 'D', but that doesn't mean that everyone who is a 'D' is in his family.
I think we can all agree that croco D. ile (crocodile) is luffys dad

Of course. You'd be a fool not to believe it.
I'd hate to see Luffy turn out to be a relative of Roger, it ruins the whole 'nobody kid from a small island rising up to the the most famous person in the world' angle. I would like to see Luffy coming face to face with Roger's descendant though.
@Octogon:

That is indeed a good point which i havnt tought of…
But still, oda wouldnt do it that way.... He wouldnt.... right??….
i never knew whitebeard (Edward Newgate) had D. in his name.
rofl and no one noticed except you^^
Does anyone else think that the reason Oda neglected to mention the mugiwara's parents during their flashbacks (with the exceptions of chopper and Usopp) was to leave open potential arc possibilities in the future? If Oda ever starts running out of GOOD ideas, I worry we'll start discovering the current situation of nami's blood parents, Robin's father, and everyone else's relatives. It's a common plot theme in other shounen manga where characters meet their parents and get taught the new ultimate form of whatever technique they inherited. I really hope this doesn't happen as it always ends up lame.
Or is it just random that there are so many orphans of unknown parentage on the mugiwara crew?
Also, in relation to Luffy's individual backstory, is it possible that his super human strength, appetite, and recuperative abilities are related to being D and not just for being a rubberman?
After all, every single D we've met can eat their weight in a single meal and has amazing individual strength.
It's possible. Saul picked up a 2000 ton battleship, Blackbeard owned a dude with his FACE, Luffy's beaten up lots of people, and Ace owned a whole crapload of ships with one move.
I'm pretty sure Roger and his spear owned some people, too.
Speaking of that, you think it's possible Roger's spear ate a devil fruit? Particularly, the gomu gomu no mi or the saru saru no mi.
Where am I going with that?
Sengoku's nickname is Dai-buddha. Sengoku is also close to Son Goku, the Monkey king of legend. The monkey king had his magical staff, the Kinkobo, which could extend to any length.
In any case, the monkey king was defeated once and only once by a Bodhisatva who told Wukong (Son Goku) he could go free if he could jump over his hand. The monkey laughed, because he could jump several thousand miles in a single leap. So Wukong jumped, and on the way he spied 5 pillars. Even took a piss on one to mark that he had been to the end of the world. He came back, only to have the Buddha tell him he never made it across his hand. The Buddha held up his hand and it smelled of Urine.

I must say that is indeed a good point, tho we havnt seen any weapon that has been other than animal fruits.
Oda might have done it this way so that you can see and think WOW thats awsome…
Tho Kumadori had a staff that could expand, so im not sure that weapons that can do that kind off thing.
Gets a DF. But its a tought that isnt impossible!
My little brother just pointed something out to me:
Red Haired Shanks = Red Hair D. Shanks?
Maybe not, but just a thought!
Red Haired Shanks = Red Hair D. Shanks?
That doesnt really suits Shanks from my opinion. Shank is a pirate worth fearing your life from. And he is just an "ordinary" human.
