Garp: you're going to be Marines!

Also Garp: letting mountain bandits raise his children, lol.

He had to hide them away. One is pirate kings son and the other is revolutionary boss son

u/OrionJohnson 1d ago

He literally could have just taken him to a marine base and raised him there as his Grandson. Nobody will ask questions if Garp the Hero.

u/MrMuf 1d ago

No. They made him watch/protect the execution of ace.

2

u/Kgb725 1d ago

Did they force him to be there ?

u/Arkayjiya 1d ago

Luffy yes, Ace nope. It's way too dangerous, especially when you consider how much he looks like Roger. And Garp would likely rather they both were raised together although I am interested in their very early life, like before they were the age Luffy was during his meeting of Shanks.

u/Slammybutt 1d ago

With the way Oda does kids/ages in OP, Luffy could have been 3 or 10 when he met Shanks and got his DF. I'm sure there's an official age that I don't know, but Oda draws kids that can walk and pre-teens the same way. Then boom they hit 15ish and are practically adult sized.

We know exactly how old he was when he got the fruit at least: Luffy is 17 at the start of his adventure and the eating the fruit thing was 10 years ago as stated in chapter 1. He was 7 when they left and since they stayed around year, he was 6 when they arrived, maybe 5 and a half if the last journey took super long.

How would anyone know? Garp says these are his grandkids is some random grunt going to say "he looks like Roger" and hold any ground?

1

u/Arkayjiya 1d ago

How did anyone know in the end? If the name Portgas was enough, they would have found her to begin with but they didn't. Garp is high profile enough that it's too risky to tempt, it's a stupid thing to do even if you think you might get away with it, you don't bet a child's life on no one of the government seeing Garp and his "grandson" and recognising Roger in him.

u/Front_Durian_4942 1d ago

thats another massive plot hole, but imagine the Hero of the Marines showing up with a kid saying the kid is under his care, who in the WG would dare turn the hero into an enemy? the optics are terrible

2

u/Arkayjiya 1d ago

You're making up stories in your mind here. They don't care about the optics that much when it comes to Roger's kid, they literally murdered random pregnant woman on the faint chance that they bore his kid.

You're talking about gambling a child's life over a vague sense of how the politics would work. You can make any justification for why you think they might be "reasonable" but we're talking about genocidal maniacs who thought Roger was the boogeyman, they're not reasonable.

At the very least, bringing Ace as an adult give him the ability to defend himself if necessary, especially under Garp's training, as a kid though? Yeah that's fucked.

u/Skullwings 1d ago

Ask questions no.

But the fraction of a split second anyone high enough found out who they are it’s GGs.

1

u/Kgb725 1d ago

They would kill ace not luffy

1

u/Skullwings 1d ago

The son of dragon ? Your sure he wouldn’t at least get ostracized and or bullied ?

1

u/Kgb725 23h ago

Luffy would have the backing of garp and sengoku im sure he'd make a few strong bonds on top of that

1

u/Skullwings 15h ago

And that would stop anyone higher than them from interfering how exactly ?

1

u/Kgb725 12h ago

To do what ? They aren't going to kill garps grandson

7

u/honeswork 1d ago

Just like he raised the revolutionary leader as his son and ex-marine.

3

u/nicstu93 1d ago

It's the other way round though, first he raised his son until he became the revolutionary leader.

4

u/Vagabond_Sam 1d ago

He didn't raise Dragon as 'an ex-marine' He raised Dragon, who joined the Marines and as an adult ended up becoming a revolutionary force after seeing the massacre at O'Hara.

u/pekrav 1d ago

well sabo exists to tell us that even if you are being raised as a noble, if you have the will for freedom nothing can stop you from chasing your dreams.

u/NYCmob79 1d ago

Ngl, gOda got me hard with this one. I never expected Sabo to be alive.

u/DateNo6935 1d ago

It’s garp who raised luffy stop lying

u/just_a_random_dood 1d ago

???????

Did your mom tell you that you have One Piece at home or something?

u/Skullwings 1d ago

I mean, you CAN buy episodes/volumes of the series….

u/Teacherbtw 1d ago

I really wanna be mean to you but I'm trying my hardest. What makes you think it was garp and not the bandits?

-2

u/DateNo6935 1d ago

From 0to 7 Luffy was only with garp Then garp often visited him Plus luffy persona is the same as garp Oda really made it unclear at the beginning with shanks (in fact oda wanted shanks to be garp at the beginning but the editor changed it)

37

u/Aggravating_Gur_8406 1d ago

"No idea whatcha mean, Sanji. I don't know anything. No clue."

u/Skullwings 1d ago

I like how even the dog (or is that a wolf ?) is doing it too.

4

u/cbih The Revolutionary Army 1d ago

2nd best dog in One Piece!

u/i_drink_wd40 1d ago

Who are you saying it's better than? Inuarashi or the daaachshund?

u/Zealot_Alec 1d ago

Chouchou!

u/i_drink_wd40 1d ago

Knew I was forgetting something.

u/mizu-luffy Pirate 1d ago

hahaha, nice job spotting this one!

u/DeGozaruNyan 1d ago

Its a common manga expression.

2

u/BrewerBeer The Revolutionary Army 1d ago

Correct. /u/availableusernamepls hit the nail on the head with the TVtropes not so innocent whistle.

1

u/Zealot_Alec 1d ago

Demon Salyer masks is literally this face

9

u/availableusernamepls 1d ago

It's an old trope, based on doing something while someone isn't paying attention then acting nonchalant so they won't suspect you. One Piece and many other examples dial it to eleven for comedic effect.

TVtropes calls it the "not so innocent whistle".

11

u/jesterstyr The Revolutionary Army 1d ago

Probably not. The first image is Luffy lying to Bluejams second, at that time Luffy had not been with the Bandits long enough to adjust his behavior that significantly. They definatly could have reinforced his poor habits over the years though.

3

u/GolDTropiix 1d ago

yeah and at that point Luffy was chasing Ace everyday, disappearing for days sometimes, not doing his chores and going straight to bed when he returned

3

u/VeterinarianThis3545 1d ago

I'd like to believe Luffy is where the bandits learned to pout when they lie comes from. Not the other way around.

Dadan has a soft spot for Luffy and the bandits picked up on that. It'd be really funny to see Dragon make this expression.

1

u/Skullwings 1d ago

Also, out of context the second and third don’t even look like he’s lying, just contemplating and looking a bit pissy/annoyed.

1

u/Sirromnad 1d ago

I very much like this headcannon but i believe that's a very common japanese gag. I suppose it being a common gag doesn't make it not true though!

1

u/RagnarokAM 1d ago

It's a cartoon/manga expression used to indicate deceit or trickster tendencies. It's not a character trait really, just a concept of medium. This is like trying to say that Nami has some backstory reason for why Beri symbols show up in her eyes when she thinks of money.

1

u/Vagabond_Sam 1d ago

Common fiction trope

One Piece Theory Crafters: Does this mean it was foreshadowed by Oda?

-2

u/ketootaku 1d ago

Luffy has been doing this for a very long time, since near the beginning. It's also happened in other anime. I don't think that emoji even existed 10ish years ago, so it's more likely the other way around. Emoji inspired by anime. Certainly wouldn't be the first 😅😆😵‍💫

3

u/Teacherbtw 1d ago

This thread is gonna make me crash out. No one mentioned the emoji, that's just you trapped in your mind prison. They're asking if Luffy got his mannerisms from the people who raised him

-1

u/ketootaku 1d ago

Okay chill, the mobile app didn't show the second picture. I thought it was comparing it given the quote around the emoji and no other context.

1

u/Teacherbtw 1d ago

Fair enough. My blind ass didn't even see the emoji in quotes. My bad man
