even thought luffy call ace brother, i doubt that they related by blood...
i think the reason why luffy call Ace like that is because is Ace older than luffy by three years or more and Ace took care of luffy ever since they where kids ... and beside luffy didn't know who was his father until recently and most likely he doesn't know the name of his mother as well. |

1.) Ace changed his name after becoming a pirate. 2.) They decided not to give him the same name as his father and Grandpa and gave it to Luffy instead because it suited him better. 3.) (As suggested by others) The D in there names, since its shared by so many others, are actually there last name, and Monkey and Portgas are just there middle name or something. In either of the three scenarios I'd say that even if he is Luffy's half brother (Which is most likely the case) he's probably Dragon's son. All things considered he acts more like Dragon then Luffy or Garp.

As for D being the real last name, I don't think thats the case. Theres been no evidence that blackbeard is related to luffy in any way, nor jaguar D. saul. I think its more of a middle name, and it seems to coincidentally appear in the very people destined to shape the world. Jaguar did it when he helped robin escape, gol d roger did it when he became the pirate king and started the age of piracy into its golden era, dragon is doing it through the revolution, and luffy will of course be the next pirate king, shaping a whole new generation like gol D. did. .... well that spun rather far from the subject :V In either case, I agree, whether they are related by mother or father, they're definitely half brothers. I chose mother because I was hoping that would explain the last name, but I'm not entirely sure how surnames in marriage function in japan, so it could still go either way. |

Y'know, it is entirely possible that Ace and Luffy are direct brothers and the reason why Ace has a different last name is because they gave him the mothers last name. Perhaps Dragon and his lover decided they wanted to share the last names and as such gave one the mothers name, and the younger son the father's name.
Think about this, if they were half brothers and both related through Dragon, then that would mean Ace should STILL have the last name Monkey (grant it, it's possible they would use the first lover's last name)... if they are retlated through the mother however, then unless the mother or Ace's father, also carried the D. in their name, then it seems odd that Ace would also carry the D. in his name... Yes i know, that so far, those with D's in their names are not related (jagar and blackbeard), but based on Garp, Dragon and Luffy, the D. does seem to be passed down through the generations of a family |
