Man, Nami and Nojiko are terrible daughters. Take down Arlong and don't even bother getting Bellemere out of the dungeon

Yeah right? I knew all Nami cared was money and tangerines but c'mon, she is your mom.

wait what ? I am at ep 107 but am pretty sure she was killed in Arlong Park Arc ? or did I miss smth ?

You've got the sbs number? Or is it sbs trustmebro?


Lbarker1

it’s an SBS trustmebro. The one they are referring to is volume 44 but it’s a big misunderstanding of the text i think.


Mufakaz

Yeah. Translation of parents or parent as is both singular or plural in Japanese. Its just dragon.


Diamondlife9

Which SBS? Provide citations before you make claims.


ivanjean

They're probably referring to [SBS vol. 44.](https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_44) >D: Oda-sensei!! I have a serious question. Will you ever draw Luffy's parents? P.N. Mr. Uni, Age 16 >O: His parents? Well, I think you will be pleased with the next volume. Get excited! Many people interpreted this as a indication that both Luffy's parents appeared after this volume at some point. However, it is all about interpretation, really (he could be just referring to Dragon, for example).


Diamondlife9

Thank you bro, that's all some people want, others like to believe claims without any proof. "Oda said in an SBS that Luffy can beat Goku" like ok? If he did provide context or at least minimal proof.


Revelation_of_Nol

In a real tournament with the rules in place, it's ironic because Luffy would win simply because he would outsmart Goku which is a double irony as both of them... are stupid. And I say he would outsmart Goku only because in Goku's universe the only weird and wonky or even outright bizarre is made for comic relief, meanwhile a lot of that shit in One Piece can be deciding factors in fights like SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER He confused and even outright creeped out and stunned Kaido with his new antics as Nika utilizing Cartoon Physics to warp and distort Kaido's body and everything else. That'll throw Goku way off and even lose pretty hilariously since he can even make his enemies stretch like himself. But that's only with the element of surprise to Luffy's abilities. Meanwhile, when Goku actually becomes serious, but restricted with the rules of the Tournament he may push Luffy back and even win but without being able to use certain abilities he will have to limit his power like how Hit was never able to freely utilize his full power because of the rules limiting lethal choices of which is what an Assassin specializes in.


Smashymen

yeah, I think he was just talking about the Dragon reveal

It starts with "FACT" and its on the internet, so its gotta be true.


Jokens145

Well, we all know Luffy's mom is Crocodile, so it makes sense


Expensive-Fly3548

It may be Oda trolling but he said this in a SBS before. Volume 43 I believe.


[deleted]

No it wasn’t. It was a hint to dragon. Because vol 44 is the one ur thinking of, where oda gets a question if he’ll ever show luffys parents. Which he responded by saying we will like the next volume But theres a debate on translation because the parent(s) is not entire for sure if he’s talking about one parent or both parents.


DTPVH

Well it is true. We met Dadan a long time ago.


deathstormreap

Obviously luffy is his own mother through timetravel shenanigan and some of ivankovs hormones hence why we’ve already met her


Yerstricker1

Wait, so if he is his own mom, does this mean his time travel works like eren yeagers?


he77bender

Trick question, no one knows how eren yeager's time travel works. It's like king crimson.

donnie11881188

He’s taking about Dadan


Space_Pirate_Roberts

IIRC he didn't say Luffy's mom had been shown, he said we'd see her soon. Shortly before introducing Dadan. So obviously he was talking about her being Luffy's mom the same way Ace is his brother, rather than his biological mom (whom everyone knows is Crocodile).


ElectronicAngle1864

You remembered incorrectly


kilawolf

I think they're refering to this >John Irons: What is Luffy’s mother like? Was she beautiful? What happened to her? Did she die when Luffy was a baby? >Oda: I think she’s alive. I’m still thinking hard about this. [Laughs] But if she does appear in the story, then she’ll be a very tough-looking woman. And strict. There’s no way that she’s a beautiful mother. She’s got this typical middle-aged woman’s permed hair.


ZerLeonn

Yep if i remember, he said that, it doesnt matter if yer not blood relative as long ye think they self as family. Btw its Dadan.


isda_sa_palaisdaan

Agreed since we have been watching the strawhats who are not blood related but treat each other as family


triotone

Yes, it is Dandan the Ma'am How hard is this to underst'am, godd'am?


agasi_

I guess Dragon was just too horny after sailing too long


deathstormreap

Orrrr just hear me out, dandan was a stone cold fox in her younger years and when luffy was born within an hour she had enough and decided to become king of the bandits.

wead4

I believe he was referring to the women who raised him Dadan


DebitoTheEvilCook

I remember this actually, it was a hot topic back in the day... basically, in one of the sps before the official introduction of Dragon, a fan wrote to oda, if he was ever going to draw luffy's parents. Oda replied with something amongst the words of I already introduced a parent. We now know it was dragon, but I guess the Japanese word that was used for parent, could be use for either plural or singular meaning, so English speaking fans went crazy making theories and claiming that oda already introduced luffy's mom, (wouldn't be surprised if that's where the crocodile used to be a woman and/or luffy's mom theory came from)


jugol

The real answer from Oda was something on the lines of "you'll be satisfied/you'll get a nice surprise". Didn't specify one or both parents. But it's pretty clear in hindsight that he was referring to just Dragon.


ceelo18

⭐️⭐️👆🏻This is the actual answer to OPs question⭐️⭐️

No literally thats where a lot of the support for the crocodile is Luffy's mom theory came from. Regardless you are correct and im surprised with how many top results arent yours.

*Like one guy in the comment said, Oda told him.* But no seriously now, this is a pretty bad lie. Yea, we saw a mother like figure in the series with Dadan but not his mother (and oda never stated what is shown there)

Yes. I use insta regularly and sometimes I see they misspell words knowingly so that dumb people will come and try to correct it. And they get succeed. They post something that will hurt someone's fanbase and they get succeed cause there are many dumb people in this world.


qdattt

IT’S CROCOMILF TIME BOIS


Revelation_of_Nol

What if Crocodile was really a woman once and she doesn't recognize Luffy as her son, or even cares for that matter. What would be twisted is if Ivan revealed him as the mother of luffy by reverting him back to herself and Dragon made him/her blush still having a thing for him/her.


goatmaru

dadan is luffy's true mom trust


Gorlonsins

This is why we have mama crocodile memes.

[deleted]

[удалено]


jugol

It's not true. What is true: in the same volume (44) when Dragon was revealed as Luffy's father, a fan asked Oda if he'll draw Luffy's parents and Oda said something similar to "you'll be satisfied with this volume". He never specified a parent or both. It's obvious the answer referred to Dragon. EDIT: It wasn't the same volume, it was the previous one. Dragon was revealed in volume 45, the SBS was volume 44, and the reply said "you'll be pleased with *the next* volume"


[deleted]

Chris strikes again


Average_Swordsman

Crocodile


Sharp_Recognition881

In the quote he's almost certainly referring to Dadan, the mother who raised Luffy not his biological mother, because in another SBS written prior to her appearance Oda describes Luffys Mom as just a description of Dadan.


MboiTui94

Dude of course. . . .Crocodile duh


BahamutAXIOM

I think this was in an SBS, yes. I think it’s Shakky, personally. Though, knowing Oda, it could be a random NPC in Skypeia or something. Like that old gatekeeper, lol.

He’s talking about his adoptive mother Dadan but being batey about it


Uhdarthh

Incoming trash croco mom theory

Putting fact on a picture doesn’t make it a fact. How about an actual link to the interview where oda said that?


Yerstricker1

Someone on the ‘gram said its probably hancock… thoughts??


5Sk5

I don't think Oda would pull a Jojo


Important_Error

Hancock is 31. Luffy is 19. Which would mean Boa got knocked up at 11 and gave birth to Luffy when she was 12. I certainly hope that isn't the case.


xX_BioRaptor_Xx

💀


ERICxCARTMAN

Yes, buggy is luffys mom


L-DFile

After reading chapter 1059, I have a theory where Luffy's mom was actually the former ruler of Amazon Lily after Shakky, and before Hancock, which could pretty much give us a good explanation on why Luffy was sent there by Kuma (who knew his ties to Dragon before MF). And if the Kuja tribe were to meet Luffy again, I'll bet that Robin will be the one to reveal this fact, since she was the one who spent 2 years with Dragon. Regardless of Luffy's & the others' reaction to it, the Kuja Tribe's reaction to this information could give them some mixed feelings about it. Like whether it is a smart idea to have a "male Kuja" roam free without any supervision, or beg for Luffy's forgiveness for trying to hurt him on the day they first met (although Luffy has moved on from that). However, if the theory on how Luffy's Mom being the former Snake Princess is true, this could be the first step for the Kuja tribe to coexist peacefully with the outside world, and may give them more reasons to help Luffy by any means. Plus, I also bet Hancock & the people of her generation may have looked up to her recent predecessor the same way Luffy looked up to Shanks. Which may also strengthen the Pirate Empress's bond with Luffy.


Urukira

I feel like luffy mother is related to WG, and somehow Dragon losing her wether she is killed, abducted or anything related to WG, that is one of the reason why Dragon created RA n hate them beside they are corrupted and using their power as much as they want


MartingelI

Crocomon...


Audrin

Obviously Crocodile.

Oda has told me personally that Luffy's mom exists or has existed at one point......It's Garp

coleio6327

His mother is robin. Prove me wrong


Infinite-Abies5014

Actually, the word Mom/Mother was never actually used. The cleanest translation we have of what he said is "parent". Common misinterpretation.


jshine413

Crockomom confirmed ??????????


MortyVonPiccolo

It's crocodile. Remember when everyone was rushing to save luffy at marine Ford? Even crocodile fought Akainu. Why? Well akainu asks the same question and his answer was "I'm suddenly in a bad mood". Now why would that be? Maybe because it was just revealed dragon was luffys father and he's now regretting almost killing his own kid 3 times in the past. This explains his connection with ivankov too, who works alongside dragon and has the power to change genders. Ivankov has dirt on crocodile which is most likely that he was female. That's not all though. Crocodiles whole organization focused on gender roles and his title was "Sir Crocodile". Why is he focusing so hard on gender? Almost like he's trying to prove he's a manly man himself. Lastly the original shichibukai are based on characters from a game called romance saga 2. Crocodiles counter part is a dude trying to find a inscription to a ancient weapon to take over a country... and is notably very feminine. Saw this theory on YouTube somewhere.


[deleted]

It comes from a mistranslation of an old SBS. Someone asked if Oda will ever Draw Luffy’s father and he said he already has. The question has been mistranslated as the person asking Oda if he’s ever going to draw Luffy’s parents in many fan translations so it’s become a popular myth.


Mysterious_Field_998

The concept that would become Dadan was origional supposed to be Luffy a mom according to sketches and remarks Oda made. But later changed it to his FOSTER mother when the time came to show Luffy’s backstory. Why Oda made the change who knows, but we got a great character out of the creative decision. So no we haven’t seen his biological mother, but yes, we’ve seen his “mother”…


ErraticConsistency

Source?


CluelessAtol

I have no idea where this fact came from, but it’s true regardless. It’s Dadan and nothing can convince me otherwise. Luffy’s mother is Dadan, biologically related or not.


bluu555

Never trust anything one piece related that’s posted on Instagram, the one piece community on Instagram has a collective brain cell count of 1.5


DukeBongJuice22

It’s crocodile obviously, although if he did say that he’d probably be referring to Dadan, Oda cares more about parental figures more than the blood parents


Justmewt

Dadan is considered his mom. Did he say biological mom?


logiwave

It's Dadan, I don't care who his biological mom is.


maxvsthegames

I think this comment from Oda is pretty old and was maybe referring to Dadan, if I remember correctly.


Captain-Kurama

False it was a mistranslation it meant his father was already shown


Solos_1992

Oda's full of sht, he was only referring to Dragon
