Roger, and took down Rocks D. Xebec and his crew. Luffy's father is none other than Monkey D. He is without a doubt one of the most mysterious characters in the series so far.

They are considered to be the enemies of "Gods. All three members of Luffy's are well-known throughout the world for one reason or another. Luffy and Dragon, in particular, have become one of the biggest threats to the World Government. Every pirate aspires to become the Pirate King, but only a handful of pirates even get close to that bracket. The Yonko are the pirates closest to that level. The Yonko consists of only four pirates, and it just goes to show how much power the Pirate King has.

While Nami desperately tries to dodge all of Eneru's attacks, Sanji and Usopp sneak aboard the Maxim to get back in the fight. Luffy spots Robin as he climbs up Giant Jack. Immediately after their brief reunion, he leaves to continue running up the beanstalk to face Eneru. Long ago, Wyper's ancestor Kalgara had a best friend.
The friend, whose name was Montblanc Noland, met Kalgara after hearing the sound of a bell. Noland tells Kalgara that his village can be saved.
By making medicine to rid the village of disease, Noland cements his friendship with Kalgara. Not realizing their true intentions, the Shandians cast out Noland and his crew for cutting down the trees that housed their ancestors' spirits.

Another bunch of Marines await at the dock. Luffy and the others take out many of them, but the vast number of foes is daunting. The Straw Hats make a U-turn and hide in an abandoned dock. They need the gold that the Marines stole from them to repair the Going Merry. Luffy, Zoro, Usopp and Robin stand before a giant vault. While Luffy and the others deal with the Marines, Usopp figures out how to open the vault.
Luffy and Nami crash right into the enemy's lair. When Luffy gets captured, Nami is left to deal with the Marines and get the gold back by herself. The Going Merry runs aground due to low tide. The Straw Hats are told to surrender peacefully, but they refuse to go down without a fight.

The Straw Hats split into three teams, but Luffy and Zoro's teams quickly succumb to trickery.
Nami's team effortlessly glides through the coral maze and pulls out ahead. As they approach the finish line, Foxy's hand begins to glow. Zoro and Sanji enter the Groggy Ring challenge to get Chopper back, but they start arguing instead of working together against their three opponents.
The opponents openly brandish weapons, but the referee pretends not to notice. Zoro and Sanji finally start working as a team against the cheaters.
The competitors enter a roller skating race in the third round. Luffy gets to go twice, but he can't even stand without falling in his skates. The third round continues. Sanji comes up with a clever idea in order for his team to stand a chance against their lightning-quick feline foe.
The Straw Hats wage an all-out offensive. The Straw Hats enter the second round in order to get Robin back. As soon as the game starts, the competing participants all rush toward Tonjit. Luffy and the others will get their friends back if they win the last round, but losing could decide the fate of their future descendants.
Luffy struggles to turn the fight in his favor while having to worry about Foxy's beam attacks. Foxy uses a strange punching machine against Luffy. No matter how many times he gets knocked down, Luffy will get back up to fight for his friends. The two captains clash in the battle's final moments. Everyone seems to have lost their memory aside from Robin, who was up reading all night.
All of their memories from their time together have vanished. Luffy and the others recall seeing a boy and hearing the sound of a flute before losing their memories. Nami and Zoro remember their childhood.
Luffy and the others look for Nami and Zoro, but the people on the island are confused and unable to help. The boy with the flute appears before Zoro.
Luffy stays behind by himself to handle Zoro, who glowers at him with animal-like eyes. Sanji directs his anger into kicking the boy with the flute.

With the Going Merry in need of repairs, the Straw Hats head out to recruit an onboard shipwright to their crew. A train barrels straight toward the Going Merry. According to Kokoro and Chimney of Shift Station, the "sea train" travels from island to island. After arriving in Water Seven, Luffy and the others take in the various things the city has to offer as they ride yagaras into the center of town.
Luffy and the others exchange their gold to get cash to repair the Going Merry. While trying to enter the shipyard, they meet a foreman named Kaku.

Luffy and the others burn with anger after seeing their defeated friend. Usopp adamantly opposes Luffy's decision to replace the Going Merry with another ship, but Luffy has made up his mind as the ship's captain. Usopp means serious business as he comes at Luffy with all that he's got. Amidst the explosive fight, tears stream down the Going Merry's face. The city is thrown into confusion after Mayor Iceberg is shot. Franky can breathe fire as if he were a Devil Fruit user, but he is fine being submerged in water since he is actually a fist-launching cyborg.
The townsfolk turn on the Straw Hats after learning about their connection to Robin. Luffy goes to the Galley-La HQ to find out what really happened. The Straw Hats have become wanted criminals within the city.
Chopper picks up on a familiar scent while looking for Robin with Sanji. Zoro surmises that Robin means to strike again tonight. The Straw Hats must capture Robin in order to find out whether she is their friend or foe. Masked figures appear as an explosion goes off at Iceberg's mansion; they are members of the World Government's secret organization Cipher Pol 9.
CP9 is after the blueprints to the ancient weapon Pluton. For generations, shipwrights had been passing down the knowledge in order to be prepared. CP9 had already infiltrated Galley-La Company five years ago. According to Lucci, a particular individual from Iceberg's past is still alive. The CP9 assassins are capable of turning themselves into living weapons. Unbelievably fast, they can even fly and slice down walls with a single kick. Luffy and Zoro are sent flying by Lucci, who turns out to be a Devil Fruit user.
CP9 goes after Franky to get the ancient weapon's blueprints. Even as he tearfully resists Franky's offer to dismantle the Going Merry, Usopp knows deep down that there is no hope left for his beloved ship. The CP9 members show up at Franky's underground hideout. Farther in, they find the room where Franky spent countless hours with Iceberg and Tom.
Eight years ago, Franky's battleships attacked a judicial ship. Cannonballs rain down on Tom and Iceberg when they try to stop the onslaught. Tom and his apprentices are arrested. To save Franky and Iceberg, Tom chooses to accept the capital punishment for building the Pirate King's ship. Iceberg tells Nami what he knows about Robin after regaining consciousness: Robin wants to make sure the Straw Hats get off the island without her.
The high tide will make it impossible to leave the island once the train headed to Enies Lobby takes off. Nami and the others rush to the station. Nami receives a love letter addressed to her at the station. In it, Sanji informs her that he has decided to board the last sea train. The giant wave approaches while Luffy is stuck in between two buildings and Zoro is sticking out the top of a chimney. Nami reveals Robin's sacrifice.
Knowing that going to Enies Lobby would be like declaring war on the World Government, Luffy and the others prepare to ride a prototype sea train. The Franky Family hitches a ride on the Rocketman as the sea train goes full throttle, joined on board by Paulie and the other Galley-La foremen.
Luffy and Zoro's powerful combined attack blows away nature's fury. Sanji and Franky team up with Sogeking, a mysterious man from the island of snipers. Together, they trap the Marines in the back of the train.
Wanze, the culinary fighter of CP7, absorbs Sanji's kick with his combat clothes made of noodles. Franky fights Nero, a new member of CP9. Like peeling an onion with his superior knife skills, Sanji strips Wanze of his noodle wear.
Franky demonstrates his ability to turn into a centaur. T-Bone of the Marines and Zoro exchange blows in a clash between master swordsmen. Sanji teaches Wanze a lesson for insulting Robin.
Robin enters the car where Sanji and the others are, but she refuses to rejoin her friends. Due to his experiences of Garp from his childhood, Luffy has developed a fear of him whilst having also grown to love him. This was highlighted when the pair reunited in Water 7 and Luffy was immediately on the receiving end of one of Garp's punches.
Such was Luffy's fear of Garp he refused to fight back and told his crew not to attempt anything either. The two are more than capable of pleasant chit-chat however, as despite the rough start to them reuniting they were happy to see each other, Garp even told Luffy about who his father was and updated him on Shanks, as well as inform him about the Four Emperors.
He also promised Luffy he would not try and stop him leaving Water 7 and was willing to falsify a report to do so. However, he was later forced to renege on this promise but was happy to see he managed to escape him.
The two share similarities, such as their bizarre habit of spontaneously falling asleep, as they both did so whilst Garp was scolding Luffy, shocking everyone. The Straw Hats noted that he really must be Luffy's grandfather because of the striking similarities in their personalities. Luffy was completely ignorant of Garp's great reputation within the Marines and had no idea his own grandfather fought on an equal footing with the Pirate King , Gol D. Roger , until his crew informed him. However, Luffy shrugged it off and still sees him as just his grandfather.
Due to his love for his grandfather he was extremely reluctant to fight him during the Summit War of Marineford , despite him standing between him and Ace, but eventually gave in and punched him out of his path. Since the time skip Luffy has not met his grandfather but showed some curiosity in seeing him again after Chinjao mentioned him. Although he is greatly disappointed by Luffy's decision to become a pirate, he is still pleased with how Luffy has turned out as a person.
Garp was upfront about how proud he was when he heard that Luffy had outrageously infiltrated Impel Down , remarking gleefully that his grandson had done it again, annoying Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
He was left in a panic when he saw Luffy falling from the sky to join the Summit War of Marineford, fearing for his well-being. He was the least surprised out of everybody that Luffy could use Haoshoku Haki , simply remarking that he did inherit it after all.
Due to Garp's pride and loyalty to the Marines he accepted that he had to try and stop Luffy reaching Ace. He shouted at Luffy to be a man and take him on as that was the only way he could save his brother.
As Luffy attacked him Garp's loyalty to his grandchildren won out and he allowed Luffy to strike him. He was guilt stricken by the loss of Ace and Luffy's suffering, despite trying to hide it, and took a beating from Dadan over the serious pain Luffy was going through. Portgas D. Ace was a notorious pirate of Whitebeard's crew who was the sworn brother of Luffy and Sabo.
The two shared an extremely close bond that was forged in their childhood. They first met when they were kids after Luffy was sent to Dadan by his grandfather, Garp.
They grew close on their many misadventures and eventually recognized each other as brothers through the ritual drinking of sake. Luffy was fully aware that Ace's father was Gol D. The pair got off to a bad start as Ace was hostile towards Luffy and at one point spat on him before they had been introduced. Luffy was determined to become friends with Ace, however, and persistently followed him around trying to win him over, having to overcome constant dangers forced upon him by Ace for three months.
Impressed, and understanding the loneliness that Luffy felt, Ace decided to become friends with him. Throughout their childhood the pair would regularly fight to see who was stronger, with Luffy losing every time despite the advantage of having a Devil Fruit.
Nonetheless, Luffy remained determined to one day defeat Ace. They swore over a bottle of sake that they are brothers and continued living their lives of misadventures throughout Foosha Village. They grew even closer after Sabo's apparent death, the devastating loss of their brother hardened their determination to become pirates and they both promised each other that once they turn 17 they would set out for sea, with Ace doing so first as he was three years older than Luffy.
Once he had held off Smoker for Luffy he met up with him on his ship and offered Luffy to join the Whitebeard pirates, despite knowing he would say no.
He was introduced to Luffy's crew, the Straw Hats , and Ace implicitly apologized to them for the trouble his brother causes them without needing to know the details.
The two were very friendly and happy to see each other again after three years. He then chose to leave Luffy and his crew before giving him his Vivre Card so they could meet up again. Ace cares deeply for Luffy and became angry with Blackbeard when he revealed his plan to capture Luffy and hand him over to the Marines , responding that he would not just let him do that to his brother.
This protectiveness of Luffy has been a staple of his relationship since they were kids, as he would often intervene when Garp was too rough or harsh with Luffy.
He grew distressed when he overheard that Luffy had made it inside Impel Down and actively tried to rush back into the elevator to head down to the level he was on, but was stopped by Magellan. He was angry with Luffy when he arrived at the Summit War of Marineford because he feared that he was going to get himself killed, however, he pretended that it was a matter of his pride.
Despite this, he could not help but be surprised that Luffy could use Haoshoku Haki and being joyful when Luffy had successfully freed him from his seastone handcuffs, both lamenting and praising him. He then quickly tried to flee the battlefield with Luffy. Having taken the bait by Admiral Akainu , he tried to protect Whitebeard's pride and ended up having to take a direct hit from one of Akainu's attacks that was aimed at Luffy, destroying his internal organs.
He collapsed into Luffy's arm and poignantly noted that he would not get to see him become the Pirate King , being certain that he would achieve this dream. But nonetheless, he died with a smile on his face after thanking Luffy for loving him when nobody else would. On his journeys, Ace was never shy when it came to talking about Luffy. When he met Yamato in Wano , the daughter of Kaidou , he repeatedly brought up Luffy and even annoyed her because of it.
He talked fondly of the dream Luffy had shared with both him and his other brother, Sabo, with her but demanded that she did not laugh at him like he and Sabo did. Firmly stating that whilst he can laugh, nobody else could.
When Yamato affirmed she would never laugh at him and mentioned that Luffy repeated the words of a big figure, unaware she was talking about Gol D. Roger, he became overjoyed at hearing this. After Ace joined Whitebeard's crew, he made a frequent habit of talking about Luffy, especially after he got his first wanted poster.
This became so common that many of the Whitebeard pirates were already familiar with Luffy before they had actually met him. It was because of this they chose to accept him as an ally in the Summit War at Marineford and to save his life at it's climax.
Even Whitebeard grew an admiration for Luffy because of how joyfully Ace spoke of him. Luffy greatly admired Ace and is proud of his accomplishments out at sea. Luffy outright refuted Ace's pleas for him to stop, shouting back at his brother that he can say whatever he likes but that he was still going to try and save him regardless. This devotion greatly impressed Whitebeard and his crew who all followed suit. When Ace ultimately died Luffy was crushed, both mentally and emotionally.
The shock from losing his brother, after he risked so much to save him, sent Luffy into such a catatonic state that he was completely unable to react to his surroundings and protect himself. He almost certainly would have died at the hands of the Marines, and in particular, Akainu, if it were not for the allies he had around him.
It was only thanks to Jinbe that Luffy was able to get out of this depression and continue living his dream of becoming the Pirate King, like he promised Ace so many years ago. Since the time-skip Luffy has not talked about Ace, as the topic has never come up. This changed when he landed on Wano Country and met a young girl named Tama who had befriended Ace.
She was unaware that he had died due to Wano being cut off from the rest of the world, forcing Luffy to bluntly tell her that Ace was now gone, showing he had come to terms with his passing. When Luffy reunited with Sabo, as Sabo expressed his happiness that Luffy survived, Luffy tearfully replied that he'd let Ace die in front of him, showing he still loves Ace dearly and still blames himself for Ace's death.
Luffy befriended Kaidou's daughter, Yamato, because of her friendship with his late brother. She informed him of how she met Ace and they were able to bond over him. Dadan is the foster mother of Ace and Luffy and is a notorious Mountain Bandit.
She was extremely reluctant to take on Luffy as she felt her hands were already full with Ace, but was blackmailed by Garp to do so.
Luffy disliked Mountain Bandits due to being captured by the mountain bandit, Higuma , and almost fed to a Sea King by him before Shanks saved him. Despite this, they grew to love and care for each other deeply. She was often left flabbergasted by Luffy's attitude, as he never seemed fazed by the threats or challenges she threw at him.
Remarking that both he and Ace are too strong for her to handle. Dadan was initially cold to Luffy as she stated outright that she does not care if he were to die, leaving him out in a forest for a week. This started to change, however, as she begrudgingly got use to his presence and was willing to rescue him and Ace from the pirate captain , Bluejam.
She begged him not give in to the pain and to bounce back. She proudly declared that no matter what Luffy does, she will always be on his side. Luffy was greatly worried for her well-being when she was defending him from Bluejam. He had grown attached to Dadan and wished for her and the rest of her family to see him off before he sets sail on his pirate journey. However, she stubbornly refused whilst trying to put on a brave face. Before leaving, Luffy told her once again that he hates Mountain Bandits, but that he likes her, causing her to burst into tears.
Dadan has been seen making a scrapbook of news articles about Luffy whilst her bandit family were wearing Straw Hats. She was overjoyed when she heard the news of Luffy defeating the Warlord , Doflamingo , and his bounty increasing, having a party with her bandit family and the rest of Foosha Village to celebrate. Overjoyed by the revelation that his brother was alive after 12 years of thinking he was dead, Luffy tearfully clings to Sabo. Like Ace, Sabo was initially annoyed with Luffy when they first met.
