One Piece anime mystery?

When Luffy almost got his head chopped off by buggy the clown and a lightning strike which saved Luffy. Do you think his father did that or it was pure luck?

- That one is one of the infamous Myth in One Piece. Most people claimed Dragon has the Devil Fruit ability to control weather but so far, Oda has not revealed Dragon's ability to us yet.

were you surprised when you found out that Luffy's family were so powerful?

- Kind of. I usually not into a main character with powerful background / family tree though. It usually killed the fun or destroyed the character development but Luffy is a special case. His father, Dragon is revolutionist, wanted to destroyed the World Government, his grandfather, Garp works under World Government and most people / civilian see WG as justice, while Luffy is a rebellious pirates. He do anything as he pleased. I think I'm starting to enjoy this family conflict. ^__^

The middle name D. Do you think they are all related some how?

- Its called a will of D. It has never been explained yet in the series. So far, Oda has introduce several characters with a Will of D.

- Gol D. Roger

- Monkey D. Luffy

- Portgas D. Ace

- Marshall D. Teach a.k.a Blackbeard

- Monkey D. Dragon

- Monkey D. Garp

- Jaguar D. Saul

You should read that Mythbusters though (refer the first link) because two out of three Q's you asked here are the most talked about and speculate by One Piece fans.

My opinion is simple, lets just wait for Oda sensei explained every thing later. He is not the type of person that does everything randomly. He has a reason for each of his drawing. Who would have thought Laboon arc back then is connected with Thriller Bark arc right? As of right now, I'm more interested on finding out about the clue / hint he left us about Skypiea

After all, the series is still half way done. I'm looking forward for Oda to unveil the mystery of his series. Right now, we are gathering pieces by pieces waiting to be organized and completed to form One - Master - Piece.

I think Luffy's father caused the lightning strike. It can't be a pure coincidence because that tower is not the tallest. We have seen how his father's power works kinda though. We've seen the huge gust of wind taking the Strawhats away to the shore.

PS: Yes, I was very surprised. It makes me wonder about Luffy's mom and grandma though. :)

The D. letter middle name doesn't really have a connection with everyone. I think it means how powerful of the D. middle name person are. For example: Gol D. Roger, Portgas D. Ace, Monkey D. Luffy, and the rest all seem to share dream-believe thing. I can't really say since they were all nice, kind, and they just do what they want.

seriously there is no way to tell however i want to say his father saved him with that lightning strike (>_<) then maybe he has some weather power or something like that. but it would make sense if he had some devil fruit power because he has the highest bounty in the world of one piece :)

i was not too shocked because i was lmao @ the marines faces once garp said that lol, but it was kind of weird that garp tried to make luffy into a marine as a child O_o

probably but i think they are all related do to the will of d or something like that. i was reading about it sometime in the past.
