The Monkey family is filled with the gene for ‘freedom.’ I love how, despite their three different positions and ways of thinking, they share a common fundamental stubbornness.”
YumekawaGarp’s ‘free justice,’ Dragon’s ‘revolution for freedom,’ and Luffy’s ‘freedom itself.’ Their paths are different, but they’re all focused on their own strong will, which is powerful.”
Fukurou BunkoGarp, even though his son and grandson are shaking up the world, is the only one who remains unwavering and maintains his ‘military face,’ which is cool.”
Mochimochi TaroIf there is such a thing as a ‘normal family,’ I think the Monkey family is the polar opposite. Their lineage is a shining example of major events.”
KoyoridoI want to see more of Dragon as a father. He’s also looking after Luffy.” I just want to know, honestly, how he sees things.”
Starry Sky DiaryGarp is the type of person who ends up hurting both ‘justice’ and ‘family’ at the same time. That’s sad, but also charming.”
ShinshinmaruLuffy seems overly cheerful, but isn’t that cheerfulness the greatest ‘revolution’?”
Nanohana RanDragon’s ‘silence’ really highlights Luffy’s ‘straightforwardness’. It’s the perfect father-son contrast.”
Mirai KoboNow that I think about it, I think Garp wanted Luffy to join the Navy because he wanted to put him in a place where he could protect his family. He won’t say it, though.”
Swaying BoatThe leader of the Revolutionary Army is a pirate father, and his grandfather is a hero of the Navy…? It’s hilarious that the whole family is shaking up the world from three directions.”
KoganemochiI can’t imitate the Monkey family’s ‘unrestrained’ nature, but it’s so refreshing to watch.”
Nukkori-doI wonder what Dragon thought when he first saw Luffy laugh. He must have felt a different kind of freedom than his own.”
Yamabuki RengeSome people criticize Garp for putting work over family, but that’s because he carries a different burden…”
Hisui Town PersonI wonder what Dragon’s life was like when he was younger. It would be funny if Garp trained him.”
Sakura SakuroLuffy is unconsciously growing up to be a ‘being who moves the world’; it’s not his environment, it’s his blood.”
Origami CloudWill Dragon call Luffy a ‘pirate’ or a ‘son’… The answer is…” His words alone could change the mood of the world.
Kaminari AtelierI wonder who in the Navy was the first to find out that the leader of the Revolutionary Army was Garp’s son. I bet he has a terrible stomach ache.”
Sakuraba HikaruThe Monkey family is so frighteningly spontaneous, yet their results are incredible. They must be a bloodline of geniuses.”
Nonoka’s DiaryThere aren’t many families that demonstrate the word ‘freedom’ in such a three-dimensional way.”
KoganemochiPeople often say that Garp is ‘too negligent’ towards his sons and grandsons,’ but I think that’s just because he’s clumsy at showing affection.”
ShinshinmaruNo, no, that neglect is bordering on ‘abandoning’ lol.”
KoganemochiGarp’s greatness lies in the fact that he’s able to hold on to it just as tightly!”
Sakuraba HikaruWell, in the end, Luffy grew up to be a fine man… fine? What’s “admirable?”
YumekawaI think there’s a pretty good theory that Dragon is actually extremely anxious.”
Swaying BoatI understand that. The “extreme distance of his supervision” is actually over-involvement.”
Nanohana RanLol. The ultimate example of over-involvement is the “distance-based” approach.”
Sakura SakukoroIsn’t it a miracle that Luffy was mentally strong enough to withstand Garp’s “fist training”?”
Hisui Town PersonEven after being adopted by Dragon, I feel like it was just “fist training” after all. I can only see a future where the father and son fight each other.”
Fukurou BunkoDragon’s revolutionary ideology and Garp’s military spirit. The fact that these opposing values exist in the same family makes for a beautiful story.”
KoyoridoGarp’s thoughts when Luffy became a pirate…” I really want to know what’s going on in his mind. There must have been a lot going on behind that smile.”
Yamabuki RengeI wonder how Dragon took Garp’s words, ‘I’ll raise him responsibly.'”
Nukkori-doGarp: Fist
Dragon: Silence
Luffy: Smile
The range of family communication methods.”
The Monkey family’s ‘running before thinking’ DNA is at a global disaster level.”
Kaminari AtelierI’d like to read Dragon’s ‘calm analysis of Luffy from a parent’s perspective.’ It seems to be written with absolutely no subjectivity.”
Nanohana RanI’d like to read a full-length spinoff of Garp’s life. Young Garp would be interesting.”
KoganemochiI feel like Luffy’s ‘natural charisma’ is closer to Dragon’s than Garp’s.” ” I do.”
Sakura SakukoroBut the way he laughs is totally Garp’s, lol.”
Swaying BoatDragon seems to envy Luffy’s ‘ability to laugh it off.'”
ShinshinmaruI think what the three Monkey family members have in common is that they’re not interested in what others expect of them.”
Origami CloudThe Monkey family’s conversations are always loud. Garp is loud, Luffy is loud, and Dragon is the only one who speaks in a low voice. The balance is terrible, lol.”
Sakuraba HikaruEven though they’re a family that can change the world, their conversations probably don’t even reach the level of a family meeting.”
Hisui Town PersonI think it’s kind of cute that Dragon can’t grasp Luffy’s ‘too free-flowing movements.'”
Fukurou BunkoGarp’s ‘justice as a navy’ is ultimately about ‘his own’ “Justice within.” That’s what makes them similar to Luffy.”
Mirai KoboWhy is the Monkey family so captivating? Is it that they’re ‘messy yet logical’?”
Sora UtsugiEven though each of them is different, it’s amazing how the family bond is built on the single principle of ‘remaining true to their own will’.”
Nonoka DiaryIn the end, both Garp and Dragon are the type of people who have no choice but to trust Luffy. That’s what I like about them.”
Kaminari AtelierI believe that if all three Monkeys were together, the world would sway a few centimeters.”
Mochimochi TaroLooking at this family lineage, you can see that ‘freedom has colors.’ It’s much more colorful than Akainu’s justice.”
ShinshinmaruBut Garp’s ‘freedom’ is pretty stubborn, isn’t it? He’s the only one who never gives in.”
KoganemochiStubbornness doesn’t equal freedom, lol.”
ShinshinmaruThat’s what’s so fun about arguing!”
