The person who wears the ancient, regular sized, straw hat is the chosen one. Every owner of the hat has known this, but when Shanks tried to explain it to Luffy the poor kid just didn't understand.

Blackbeard of course fucks up his own obsession with destiny/fate by killing Shanks which prevents Luffy from giving the hat to anyone else, default making him the chosen one.

I'm excited to see if Blackbeard actually did somehow get way bigger or if that was just some really weird perspective shots

It’s probably perspective combined with him already being something like 7 feet tall, the latter just never stands out usually because his most of his crew is even bigger than him, but he towers over Luffy in his first appearance.

he's canonically eleven feet tall in his original appearances, but his one full appearance in the manga post-timeskip makes him look easily twice that - if we assume those women are around Nami-height, then he's gotta be at least a good twenty feet

I think One Piece does a good job of leaving these things ambiguous enough that the horrors can be left to the imagination of the reader. Nami's relationship with the Arlong Pirates and the story of the Mariejois slaves have similar overtones to the Hiyori stuff, but Oda always stops short of being specific about what happened behind closed doors.

I honestly kinda doubt it.

Like, yeah in reality Orochi was a corrupt shogun and she was a prostitute so it probably would have happened. But in the cartoon logic of OP she probably just strung him along and since he's a dork he ate it up like those other guys she bankrupted. Unless I'm forgetting a scene where it's strongly implied.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
The closest thing to sex that's ever been addressed outside of people just having children was Luffy's mushroom on Amazon Lilly played as a gag so I wouldn't think too much about this stuff, this ain't Berserk

Idk the way Komurasaki tells Zoro that men would be happy to have her sleep next to them implies that that's all that went on during her duties in the castle. Like... family friendly story, seems fine.

Komurasaki is explicitly a prostitute, and thus has almost certainly had sex with people. Whether anything happened with Orochi specifically is less clear.

Viola, on the other hand, did canonically have sex with Doflamingo. See SBS Volume 83.

Komurasaki has been pretty clearly portrayed as scamming all the wealth out of dudes while leading them on. They very model of internet virgins' female nemesis.

Which seems actually more feasible than Luffy's absolute ignorance of his entire family until plot relevant.

Not knowing who your dad is isn't that weird imo especially when he's a major villain and your grandad raised you who is a policeman. Plus the world doesn't know his name is Monkey D. Dragon. Just Dragon. And he knew who Garp and Ace are, so can't agree here OP.

As for thinking about loving in One Piece I think of it about as much as Oda does which is correct and noble

Is it going to end up like DanMachi where the prostitute magically never had sex so she remains a viable, virginal love interest?

But why would he care? It’s fairly clear that Dragon was never around in Luffy’s life at all, and Garp would 100% be the kind of guy to just never talk about his son that’s also the world’s top criminal. Heck, it makes sense that Luffy wouldn’t have thought about him, he wouldn’t really think about anyone that hasn’t directly touched his life. I just figured Luffy assumed he was just a bastard.

Unless you think Luffy thinks he popped out of a hole in the ground rather than him just not acknowledging the dad that was never around.

I'm still having a lot of trouble figuring this out why these two. Didn't Viola know that Doffy basically manipulated her father into committing mass murder and overthrew her family's kingdom. Why would she sleep with him?

Urouge is also one of the few canon charters who fucks, if the SBS would be to believed.

I mean, at least in this case it'd be due to the prostitute's insane talent for manipulating and destroying lovely men. In her case, remaining a virgin would be proof of what a badass she is.

This is entirely likely knowing who Luffy is and quite honestly probably Oda's intent when he wrote Luffy being confused about having a dad.

But it's more fun if his mom is just a bigger version of him and somehow wound up with Dragon. It really is odd how literally no one ever mentions her ever. Unless I'm forgetting something, no one has so much as alluded to her existence.

Is it possible that when Oda mentioned Luffy’s mom being more strict, he was talking about Dadan? I say that because part of me hopes Luffy’s biomom is just like him, but a woman in her forties.
