As Eiichiro Oda confirms the start of the final saga of One Piece, many mysteries have started to unfold, such as the shocking revelation that Luffy’s Devil Fruit is a Mythical Zoan Dewa Nika and the identity of Shanks, who is from the Figarland family. Recently, Oda has started to give hints about the identity of Luffy’s mother, revealing that she is a powerful woman in One Piece. Fans speculate that she is one of the strong characters in the series. Interestingly, the latest clue from Oda suggests that Shanks is well-acquainted with Luffy’s mother.
Shanks, who had a bounty of 1 billion berries, stayed in Luffy’s hometown for a long time and even lost his arm to rescue him from a sea monster. Despite being a famous pirate with a high bounty, the Navy allowed him to play with Luffy. It is plausible that Shanks’ closeness to Luffy’s mother is the reason behind this action. Moreover, Monkey D. Garp himself is acquainted with Shanks, further supporting this theory.
Luffy’s mother is also revealed to be part of the Figarland family. She was also Shanks’ mentor in the Holy Knight organization, which was confirmed in One Piece 1086 that the Figarland family is the leader of the said group. It explains why Gorosei allowed Luffy, who ate the Nika Devil Fruit, to exist and do as he pleases. This is because there are two powerful members from the Figarland family who guarantee Luffy’s safety. In fact, during his meeting with Gorosei, Shanks promised to handle Luffy himself if things get out of hand.
In conclusion, the revelation of Luffy’s mother’s identity and her connection with Shanks has been a significant topic of discussion among One Piece’s fans. These revelations bring more depth and complexity to Luffy’s character and backstory. As the story progresses in the final saga, fans hope to see more of Luffy’s family and their impact on the series.
