One Piece on Netflix: By the way, what does the D. in Monkey D. Luffy stand for?

Warning, this article contains spoilers for the One Piece sequel.

Netflix subscribers discovered the live-action adaptation of the One Piece manga two weeks ago. About 12 manga (out of one hundred already published) and sixty anime episodes (1,100 already available) have been adapted into the 8-episode series. Suffice it to say, this Season 1 barely scratched the surface of the world Eiichiro Oda envisioned. Several mysteries remain in One Piece, starting with Gol d. From the location of Roger’s treasure and its contents. But not only.

If you have been paying attention to the character names of One Piece season 1, then the character names worn by the elastic hero will definitely make you react: what could D. Monkey D. Luffy mean. And does it have anything to do with the late king of pirates, Gol d. with roger Please note that at this time, we really do not have a clear and definite answer. But the hints given by the author allowed fans to have some theories.

One Piece and the Will of the D.

We’re not going to spoil certain One Piece plots (we invite you to watch the anime or read the manga), nor go into detail to explain various theories. What we can tell you is that several characters in the universe have a D in their last name, not necessarily of the same origin. The men in Luffy’s family share this in common. In the first season, we met his grandfather, whose name is Monkey D. Garp.

Bearers have special wills that they pass on to a new generation after they die: the will to be a pirate king, rule the world, overthrow the global government, or just find companions and be happy. Faced with death, they leave with a smile on their lips (like Gol D. Roger). Moreover, D. may represent a person smiling.

According to some theories, it is the train of D that will create a cataclysm and change the world (no further details). Later in the manga, we learn that they are being closely watched by the World Government, who consider them enemies of God, and that they are directly or indirectly connected to One Piece and Gol D. Roger…

So there is no exact answer, but it should be provided in the coming years, with the end of the One Piece manga.
