If you recall back, the part where Robin comments, when first joining up, "There's something about those men, that D. in their name."

Makes considerably more sense when you learn her backstory, so many volumes later.

That's a good point, I hadn't thought about that. I was going to say that maybe those with the "D" in their name are related, and those with "Monkey" in their name are in Luffy's immediate family. Of course, Ace's name throws that whole Monkey theory right out the window, lol.

I just hope he has better taste in ship decoration than he does in wardrobe.

Sandman wrote:Your right it was just the D. that they have in common :cool: but he also says it is a family thing so I wonder what that means?? I guess there are seven people with the D. middle name Luffy, Ace (its funny that they are bothers and Luffy is Monkey and Ace is Portuguese), Teach"black beard", Garp, Saul, Dragon, and Roger.
well if you look at it we know luffy ace garp and dragon are all family so i wouldnt be suprised if the rest are related to him someway. but i also read somewhere that it might be possible that all the people with D. in their names are from the civilization that was destroyed by the world government during the 100 years of missing history

well im just happy with the way the story is picking up again. like the whole gretting robin back was good but now its focusing on the lose ends and the other characters, like how shanks finally met with white beard. i am very much so looking forwards to the next few chapters :D

Spotted this over at apforums
Battle Franky wrote:Oda has made an end of Jump (WSJ #50) comment. My interpertation of this or the gist of this from reading around is, that there was some general unhappiness/opposition to the mangji symbol 卍 (obviously which is generally assosiated with the Nazi party's swastika) being used in the original flag design.

So from my understanding the manga version, has been changed to the skull & crossbones anime version. I assume the changed ver. appears in Ch.434, and Oda has made this comment to clear any confusion.

Interesting info. Since I started One Piece with the anime at first, I never even saw the Manji flag version flag before so it doesn't bother me much.

Still kinda sucks. :evil:

Man do I hate censorship, just like the changing rocks to apples when these kids throw them at robin when she was a kid.

Ah man, that's no big deal really. The Manji symbol doesn't mean anything bad. In fact, I think it means "Luck" or something like that. It was the nazis who corrupted it. That doesn't mean that the Japanese shouldn't be able to use it. I mean, I guess I can understand a large company not wanting to get hate mail, or even possibly sued over it, but it still kind of sucks that people have to worry about it so much. Ah, oh well *shrugs*.

It'd be different if it actually WAS a swastica, but it'd have to be tilted for that.

That's what suprised me, I thought it was a normal and frequent sign in Japan.

Doesn't Neji in Naruto have the same thing on his forehead?

I can't remember if it's the manji symbol on Neji's head or not, but I don't think it was...*shrugs*

It's in Blade of the Immortal a lot, and there's always a disclaimer/explanation in the tankobans about it. It's not meant to be offensive or anything. Like I said, it just means luck.

They censored it in anime.. In the manga it looks like this:

Wasn't censored in the manga though, although the sign wasn't shown in the recent arcs...

But don't want too much Naruto around One Piece do we :P

Hm, never read that part in the manga. It does look a lot like the manji symbol there, but it's also corrupted. Notice the hooks on the ends, those shouldn't be there. It may as well be the manji symbol though. It's not uncommon for people to corrupt symbols like that.
