Full Length | One Piece | 493 & 494

Out of sight out of mind. If Ace and Luffy were ever around someone would ask who their parents were. So I choose to believe this is Garp's ultimate form of protection, to keep them away from people who would ask questions. Letting the world forget about there parents so they could hopeful join the navy without anyone knowing their lineage.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned already (either through a comment or an SPS) - but Oda likes to associate Luffy with the number 56 - e.g. on the shirt he had, when Garp brought him to Dadan. 5 is pronounced "Go" in Japanese and 6 is "roku", but can be pronounced "mu" in some instances. So 56 = "Gomu" - associating it with the "Gomu Gomu no mi" Luffy ate. There are apparently more Japanese wordplays Oda has hidden all over the place, 56 is an easy one which stuck with me :)

Oda's drawing of Luffy hanging there in the manga is pretty gruesome but such a tone shift for someone like Luffy. It's one of those where as much as I hate seeing a child beat up like that, I also have to give credit to Oda for even using this as part of his story to move forward such a dark part of this story.

"I've wanted this flashback since episode 1 !! " -Khan I feel like Garps reasoning for Dadan looking after Ace is he's trying to pretty much kind of hide Ace from the world so on a mountain would be a good place , plus he's familiar with the island. Luffy got left with them probably cause the whole Shanks influence thing. N let's be honest , who else is gonna tolerate raising those 2 maniacs besides bandits that you have leverage over? lol

this is horrible of me to say but my first time watching one piece i saw that this flashback was like more than 10 episodes long so i just skipped it, but i knew the gist of what happened. so this is my first time actually seeing hte full thing lol...

that this flashback comes after Ace's death reminds me of how people will say to those who lost someone, "May their memory be a blessing.” yes it’s incredibly sad, marineford has left a scar on our minds like the narrator said, but its not sad only and Ace's memory is a blessing as we see in this flashback

Baby Luffy with the will of iron being beaten down by a man many times larger than him is tough to watch 😢

Oda be like: Everyone’s mentally wrecked after Marineford? Y’all need therapy. Anyway, here’s Luffy and Ace’s wholesome childhood backstory to mess with your heart even more. Oda is out here emotionally manipulating us again 😂

When will One Piece stop making you cry? The answer never.
