I personally don't think the D in those character's name were all connected to each other (well except for Luffy and his family), and the D in their names really is a name (not destiny, or dangerous, or devil, etc, etc), I mean a name, like David, Dave, etc, etc (we can't be really sure right?). Just my opinion by the way.

Or maybe Ace took his mother's Surname(last name). Cuz we don't know who the mother is or what her name is.

In One Piece universe, it's seem to be common to call someone you grew up with family and brother, so it may simply be that Ace and Luffy grew up together, maybe they are cousins or so.


Another theory.

Younger presented to the left and older to the right.
Monkey D. Garp and Jaguar D. Saul are related in some sense. Oldest Generation
Monkey D. Dragon and Gol D. Roger are related in some sense. Middle
Monkey D. Luffy and Portgas D. Ace, which we know are related. Youngest

As can you see there is a pattern, that the youngest "brother" has the name Monkey and the oldest something else. Now I know that this is very farfetched , just wanted it out for opinions.

Im pretty sure Gold D. Roger is the in the Oldest Generation. He fought many times with Garp and he died before Saul. Not sure though........

i think it would be AWESOME if the last member of the Shichibukai turned out to have the name Monkey D... lol

i'm not sure if that will happen; i just hink it would be funny if it did because every member, except Blackbeard, has an animal name.

so those who carry the D. it seems they

*have big appetite
*sleep a lot
*do not fear death
*are confident that they are strong
*are idiots
*laugh a lot

How about what D means for a topic.

Monkey D. Luffy

D = Dangerous.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH you just reminded me of Austin Powers >_<

Have any of you ever noticed if you westernize the d.'s names that is put the family names last you get Luffy d. Monkey ? Some how I don't think this is unitentional.

Garp D. Monkey
Luffy D. Monkey
Dragon D. Monkey
Saul D. Jaguar
Teach D. Marshall
Roger D. Gol (roger the goal)


So on ace's name what the heck is a portgas?

That makes sense! But a portgas....
It reminds me of a tiger for some reason... xD
Well, let's google!

Edit: I didn't find anything but a bunch of Ace images T.T

There is an actual pirate named Bartholomew Portugues, but it hasn't been confirmed whether or not Ace is named after him. Looking at it like this however, maybe that's all the proof you need?

Portgaz d ace is the son of roger and portgaz d rouge roger's lover, monkey d luffy is the son of monkey d dragon, grandson of monkey d garp ace is adopted by garp. The will of d is still mystery in the anime one piece many great men hav the d in their name whitebeard said that that is fate when one of the Ds dies away then another will pick it up and continue the will then one day that person will carry on their back all the weight in the past decades and challenges the world to a fight that day will come when that person finds One piece, just like roger's will ace's will will be carry on by someone in the fulture, sengoku and the government is afraid of the day when one person found one piece, when that day come the world will turn upside down ( marshall d teach aka blackbeard is NOT the one who is carrying the will of D)
(Fact all the people with will of D died or almost died with a smile)

In Japanese culture, they use their last name first, followed by first. So Monkey D. Luffy, is the Japanese way of saying Luffy D. Monkey. Which is why they call him Luffy, not Monkey. Second of all If you haven't been keeping up: Luffy's Bloodline is as follows:
Spoiler:


As for Theories of the "D". NOTE This is NOT a spoiler, It's a theory I just used a spoiler tag to keep my post a little neater.

Spoiler:
This is my theory, although I do have many other plausible theories. But after The White Beard Arc when WB is saying his finals words before his death.

In context I think he refers to Luffy, being the one to carry on Ace's will someday. (If you remember the episode then you know the camera is shown to find and follow Luffy when WB say's someone will carry the will someday. Carrying on...

WhiteBeard's Final Words (That back up the theory of One Piece being the Poneglyphs):

Very nice theory... I also think that One Piece and the remnants of the void century are connected. The Will of D fits perfectly in your theory and the holders of that initial being descendants of the Ancient Kingdom would surely be interesting.

While I like your theory and think that it may really be something like what you say in the end, you still should not use "camera angles" as an argument. The story is not done by the anime producers. If you use the manga panels of that chapter as an argument, then it is OK though.

Thanks man, after the events leading up to the Marineford Arc and all that came into light, it seemed as though it was a pretty logical assumption. We will all be surprised no matter what, even if this theory or anyone's theory is correct or not for that matter. I definitely look forward to it. (not One Piece ending though)

Point taken I didn't have the specific panels of the manga otherwise I would have, my friend had just been catching up on One Piece and that was one of the episodes I played for him at my house recently so I just remembered that scene. However it was a pretty important speech/scene as a whole and from what I remember very similar to the manga thus I figured it would be sufficient. Taking what you said into consideration I looked into it to find the manga panel which you can see below

Theory Summary: The Straw Hats are going to fight (and destroy) the World Government.

Here's one more to throw in about the Void Century and D being connected:

Granted, I only remember this off the anime, and forget what the line in the manga was... but apparently, when Roger first met Rayleigh, he asked if Rayleigh wanted to "turn the world upside down"

Or is that an anime only line?
