Spoiler note
Excuse me for leaving Ace hanging out there, I'll fix the tree when the chapters out. His current relationship, by geneology step-up terms means he is a sibling, but doesn't say he is related to Dragon. This is just a quick job. Any other suggestions while I'm working on the tree?

 * Version 2 of this diagram is done and much better laid out. You'll see it when the chapters out. :-/ One-Winged Hawk 18:16, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Put Portgas(the mother) next to Dragon when the chapter is out.
 * The birthday thing maybe abit too much. Most family trees only need the connection between the individuals.
 * The setup is okay and easy to understand. However considering that the possibility of more of the family will be revealed in the future, what with all the D's, try maybe doing something like this in the future when the time comes.


 * That's all I can think of at the moment.Mugiwara Franky 18:26, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Point 1 is already in version 2. Point 2... Okay 'll loose that... Point 3... Was thinking on something like that but declined because the wiki system doesn't always go perfect.  For now it just seemed easier to have it as a diagram.  There is actaully a tree code you can use on wikipedia, but tracking it down is hard and I never liked it.  If it gets complex, I'll switch from the diagram though.  One-Winged Hawk 19:56, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, itsclear Ace is really called "Monkey D. Ace" not "Portgas D. Ace"... But lets stick with "Portgas D. Ace" for his article because its what everyone knows him by. The diagram will list Monkey D. Ace first and Portagas D. Ace afterwards. One-Winged Hawk 19:58, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Dummies guide:
Quick expla on how tradional family trees are done. I know there are variable version of a tree but I've done it in the old fashioned style and that can sometimes confuse people.


 * 1) The reason for the "=" sign is to say they are equally married to each other.
 * 2) If either partner remarriages, their second marriage (or more if it came to that) is also written on the tree, but seperated by another "=" and written usually next to the person who remarried (husband will make remarriages go to the left and wife to the right) or underneath.
 * 3) But regardless the next generation line will always be drawn from the "=" sign between the to married individuals to signal they are born from THAT particular marriage and none others. If it ever comes to that we'll deal with choices then.

Ultimately though any tree will focus on one or two lines, second marriages usually get drawn on a seperat tree to the first marriage. Lets hope this tree doesn't need to be that complexified. That goes out to you Oda! Though with the Will of D thing... As MF said expect it to get complex in the distant future because of it. Strickly speak, we'll stick to a diagram produced in an art program until it has to explained beyond the Monkey D. family.One-Winged Hawk 00:09, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, eldest child always is written first. That I've fixed on version 2. A "-" sign between two individauls like here means that they are siblings, but parents of one child are unknown. We don't need to worry though as the chapter will remove that. Only thing with this diagram is Luffy's mother isn't confirmed now, there is no say on if Luffy and Ace have the same mother, just the same father. We know Dragon + Portgas produced Ace, so there is something confirmed at least. Though correct me if I'm wrong that convo at Arlong PArk forums got complex when they were discussing it.

 * The chapter is out now. Whether or not Portgas is Luffy's mom can be debatable but for the moment it's best to show her as thus. There is no evidence stating she is but by common sense, its more speculative stating she isn't. If the story gets more complex with Dragon having a second wife, then the diagram should be changed but only if and when Oda decides to include it. For now, just keep it simple based on common sense.Mugiwara Franky 06:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
