When it comes to One Piece 1085, there is still a big mystery surrounding the mother of Monkey D. Luffy. Even after all these years, fans are still divided into two camps, some believing that Luffy’s mother is Im Sama while others believe she is Curly Dadan. However, the latest clue from Eiichiro Oda in One Piece 1085 confirms that neither of them is Luffy’s mother.
A recent leak suggests that Luffy’s mother was a former Ratu Kuja on the Amazon Lily Island. If that is true, then it could be assumed that Shakuyaku, the sister of Rayleigh’s wife, is Luffy’s mother. It makes sense as both Rayleigh and Shakuyaku are related to Luffy in some way, and Shakuyaku is also a former Ratu Kuja.
Moreover, Oda suddenly sent Luffy to Amazon Lily after the Marineford War ended, which could be an indication that Luffy has a long history with the Amazon Lily inhabitants because his mother was a former queen there.
By looking at the names of the previous Ratu Kuja, from Gloriosa to Shakuyaku, we can have a clue about the name of Luffy’s mother. If we pay attention to Oda’s habit of naming characters after flowers, given that Luffy is the manifestation of the Sun God Nika, then the most suitable flower name for Luffy’s mother is Sunflower or Himawari. This theory is further supported by the fact that the favorite flower of the Straw Hat Crew is Himawari, as stated in SBS Volume 60.
All in all, based on the available evidence and theories, it is highly likely that Monkey D. Luffy’s mother’s full name is Monkey D. Himawari. But until we get confirmation from Oda, it remains a mystery.
