User blog comment:CNBA3/Luffy's Mother Theory!/@comment-24850639-20150326154303

Short and sweet like I like em. I'm down with this 100%. I definitely think Oda deliberately has personality be partially hereditary. By and large, we've seen most kids on this show act just like their parents. If not personality wise, which is usually the case, then definitely in terms of specific character traits. So  as far as Dragon goes, lets be real for a sec. NO ONE just starts out hell-bent on toppling the world order as we know it. I'm willing to bet anything that at one point in his life Dragon was just as carefree, reckless, and happy-go-lucky as Garp and Luffy. SOMETHING terrible had to happen to him that caused him to organize an army against an organization that supposed to (though has never formally said) they will protect everyone. What motivates one to take such drastic measures, aside from love, family, and power? I think its established that Dragon isn't evil, so I don't think this is about power. It makes perfect sense to me that Dragon's mate would be someone of extreme importance, someone who knew something that the WG probably wouldn't want being known to the world. So I think its a plausible theory that it'd be a princess of one of the kingdoms maybe. I certainly don't think it's a coincidence that Luffy has been getting in good with so many royal families in the One Piece world.
