QUOTE (franzoir @ Jul 16 2009, 04:40 AM)Just as i was starting to get bored of this chapter, there was a shocker at the end that leaves me thinking WTF.
This either means Dragon= Gol. D Roger or
Luffy and Ace are not brothers at all. This explains the different names. Cant wait for more.
This doesn't mean Dragon= Gol D. Roger. Have you've forgotten in an episode where Dragon appears and is currently the world's wanted man? Plus Gol D. Roger was dying from an incurable disease, if he wanted to see his son born, he would have met him if he was still alive and not kill himself in the process.
Gol. D. Roger did tell Rayleigh he won't die, either his legacy won't die or he somehow managed to fake his whole execution death.
QUOTE (Killer_Ossi @ Jul 16 2009, 06:58 AM)They arent brothers by blood, because if they were Aces name would be Monkey D. Ace and not Portgas D. Ace.
But damn this is really a Twist, now this Execution becomes a whole new meaning and with all that defense I wonder what Whitebeard will to against that.
But still maybe the other 3 Emperors or Dragon will play a little too there.
And not to forget Luffy and his new "crew".
Portgas was his mother's maiden name and he had great respect for her so he was named after her and not after Gol D. Roger. That or probably Garp took care of Ace as his own to protect him and not let anyone know Ace's identity so he named him after Portgas since no one knew about the unborn child except Garp and Roger.
QUOTE (masterkai @ Jul 16 2009, 07:54 AM)kind of a boring chapter this time, although it's surprising to hear that Ace is Gold Roger's son. although I think that the marines have it mess up, I think it is really luffy who is rogers son.
No, that would suck if Luffy is Roger's son. That kind of messes up the new era thing if you get the son to find one piece and not some new guy. Although the similarities between the two are the same.
Garp even admitted after the Enies Lobby fight that his father is Monkey D. Dragon. Why would he need to lie about it?
In Conclusion, I wouldn't know what is truth now only that what I followed or seen in the past. Anything is possible. All I can say is whether they are blood brothers or not it doesn't really matter, they grew up together as orphans because you never see them growing up with their parents. So Luffy and Ace had a brotherly bond and even if they are not brothers, they still will have those memories they share as children. (example: Buggie and Shanks brotherly bond )
The Will Of D. Those who have D in their names have rather strong characteristics in them that people wouldn't expect. Garp and Roger could even be blood brothers for that matter. That would explain why he gave up his son into Garp's care. You don't just go up to someone in the Marines and say... Hey! take care of my child will you?
Even Garp had deep regret at the last page like it was his fault but one of the elder's told him its not his fault.
