Talk:One Piece Volume 0

Luffy's age confusion
Alright so this has been bothering me for quite a while, and maybe it has been discussed before but I really want to clear this up.

Remember this is just a question, not a claim to change anything.

So in Volume 0 Oda states that Strong World is Luffy's last adventure as a 17 year old, meaning that his birthday is somewhere during the Sabaody Arc, or the Paramount War.

However... that means that Luffy started his journey on May 5th when he was 17 years old and by the time he reaches the red line he's 18. This would mean after the timeskip he should (and I say it in italic because I'm not sure) be 20.

My question is: is there some databook, manga reference, Oda interview or canon place where it actually claims Luffy is 19 or is it simply our assumption because 17 + 2 = 19?

Again I'm not trying to make a claim, it's just a random thought I wanted to clear up.
