Well for Luffy:

We know his dad but I have a feeling his mom would either A) Never be revealed and forever be kept a mystery or B) She'll reveal herself in the New World through either Dragon or a full-on confrontation.

I like the idea of keeping Zoro's parents a mystery, but if I would have to choose, his father was either a dojo instructor (original i know) or a chef that was really strict on him (which explains the relationship between him and Sanji). His mother is a maiden from the Wado Island Ryuuma came from. That would be cool.

Nami shouldn't have her real parents revealed. Bellemere was her pure mother, plain and simple. (That love is real enough)

Sanji's parents were probably on that ship he was assigned to as a kid before Zeff attacked. Perhaps they were either chefs, waiters, waitresses, etc.

Chopper's parents were reindeers. They abadoned him after seeing his blue nose.

Robin's father is probably still alive somewhere, either hunting her down or hiding out in the New World.

Franky's parents were explained briefly I believe by Tom. Should be kept a mystery.

Like Franky and nami, Brook's parents should remain a mystery as they are not important enough to impact his beloning in the crew.

I think it would be a great idea, as the two-year time skip was KIND of like a "reboot" of the series, to explain further into the crew's past, like how they did at the beginning, rather than introduce a new character. For me, it's character progression > character introduction
