![]() ![]() He did all this with the explicit goal of making Luffy a strong Marine. Luffy's childhood relationship with Garp was dominated by the latter's unorthodox, and brutal, training methods, such as throwing him into valleys, leaving him alone in dangerous forests, and tying him to balloons to fly at high altitudes. However, it is assumed that because of the nature of Dragon's life as a revolutionary, he had passed Luffy off to Garp to be raised by him. It is unknown how Garp came into custody of Luffy. However, the two get along quite well with each other, often laughing or scolding one another. Luffy loves, but also fears, his grandfather. Nonetheless, he cares deeply for his grandson and has shown to be proud of some of his achievements. As a result, he was extremely vexed that his grandson chose to become a pirate instead, the natural enemies of the Marines, and blamed Shanks for inspiring him to become a pirate in the first place. Due to being a prideful member of the Marines, Garp had high expectations of his grandson and wished for him to become a Marine just like him. Garp is a Vice Admiral, a hero of the Marines, and is Luffy's grandfather. ![]() His connection with Dragon has also inspired fear into some people, with members of the Marines growing wary of fighting Luffy. ![]() Luffy also gained allies because of his connection to Dragon, such as Ivankov and Kuma, the latter of whom never revealed to Luffy he was aiding him in order to maintain his cover. He has been labeled a 'dangerous future element' and has been hunted down, personally, by Admiral Akainu, as well as the World Government, who escalated their hunt for Luffy, although this is now mostly because of Luffy's own actions than his relationship with his father. Since this connection was fully revealed by Fleet Admiral Sengoku during the Summit War of Marineford, Luffy has garnered a lot of attention, both positive and negative. Dragon did express interest in Luffy's adventure in Totto Land. He sounded somewhat grateful for Ivankov's role in protecting Luffy during the Summit War of Marineford but remarked that Luffy is not a child anymore. When asked about it, Dragon casually confirmed to his men that Luffy is indeed his son, showing that he had no problem with sharing this information. It was noted by Ivankov that Dragon tends to stare off into the distance in the direction of East Blue, where Luffy was born, acting as some sort of homing instinct. He smiled when he heard the news of Luffy's actions at Enies Lobby, remarking to himself that Luffy should live the life he wants and that the day for them to meet will eventually come. This is the closest Dragon has ever been to meeting his son. He made an appearance in Loguetown in order to save Luffy from Smoker and as his son sailed away to the Grand Line, he shouted towards him with a smile to go forth and achieve his desires. He is completely accepting of Luffy's decision to become a pirate and expects great things of his son. He nonchalantly told Ivankov that Dragon, who Ivankov served under, was his father while the Okama was discussing his role in the Revolutionary Army.ĭragon, on the other hand, seems to keep up with his son's exploits, although this is rarely shown. The only time Luffy has taken any interest in his father was when he read that Blackbeard had attacked the base of the Revolutionary Army and got his first look at Dragon's face, commenting that he looks nothing like him. He never mentions or discusses him and has never tried to locate him. Since then, Luffy has remained indifferent about Dragon's identity, and is not at all fazed by his father's reputation. He also had no idea about Dragon nor about his position as a criminal and the head of the Revolutionary Army and was thus left confused by everyone's, including his crew's, shock when Garp revealed to them all that Dragon is Luffy's father. He has never inquired about his father to anyone, not even his grandfather, Garp. Luffy has never met Dragon, despite him being his father, and for a long time did not even think he had one.
