Forum:Luffy & Roger

I have been toying with this idea for sometime. Given how similar young Roger & Luffy look, and the straw-hat originally being Roger's, I have to say it aloud- Is Luffy Roger's re-incarnation? Ideas?

I just read chapter 603 - Utterly Amazing, Obviously the part with Roger & Rayleigh portrays them both as major influence's you can tell how alike Luffy & Roger are & Zoro & Rayleigh. The fact it is now confirmed that the Straw Hat belonged to Roger is amazing and i think that it could be the influence from a great pirate that lends its power to a person - Shanks received the straw hat and became a legendary pirate in his own right, Roger was the first legendary pirate who wore the Straw Hat and now it seems Luffy is on track to follow that reputation.. But to Luffy being Roger's re-incarnation - I doubt it as i've just said i think it might be some sort of influence. Mugiwara Fan 09:41, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

Could it be possible that Roger and Garp were brothers? It's not uncommon if someone has a child the child turns out to look just like their uncle and aunt, maybe even get part of their personality?

It would be silly to ignore the POSSIBILITY that they were brothers, but I believe that it would cheapen the story. To have evethying and everyone significant connected like that just makes it feel, again, silly. I think it much more significant to have both Luffy and Roger to be seperate individual with very little to no reall connections. They only being, Luffy's grandfather fought Roger, and his straw hat. To connect them in any other way over plays the part of each's character.- Jety Lefr
