Monkey D. Luffy family tree in One Piece

The two brothers on the Monkey D. Luffy family tree share no blood with him. Portgas D. Ace arrives in Alabasta in volume 18 as Luffy’s older brother and helps him slip away from Smoker.² Ace is the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Whitebeard treats him as one of his sons.^8,9

In the flashback of volumes 59 and 60, Luffy remembers how he, Ace and Sabo came to call one another brothers.³ Chapter 585 has the Japanese title Kyōdai Sakazuki, the cups of sake that bind sworn brothers, and the English edition calls it Brotherly Pact.^6,3 All three grew up under Curly Dadan, who leads a band of mountain bandits on Mount Corvo on Dawn Island, and Garp left Luffy in her care after Shanks sailed away.^7,6

Sabo seems to die in volume 60, killed as the boys believe by a Celestial Dragon.³ He returns in volume 75 at Dressrosa, where chapter 744 names him chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army and he wins the Flame-Flame Fruit in the Corrida Colosseum.⁴ In volume 79 he explains that the shot cost him his memory, that Dragon took him in, and that the news of Ace’s death brought his brothers back to mind.⁴ A green dashed arrow ties Sabo to Luffy’s father.

Ace’s place on the chart changes in volume 56. The Marines reveal there that he is to be executed because he is the real son of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger.³ Until the Marineford story point the chart draws Roger with no line to Ace. Roger was born and executed at Loguetown.⁷ Chapter 550 names Ace’s mother as Portgas D. Rouge, Roger’s lover, who held off the birth for twenty months to hide whose child he was, and chapter 551 tells that the long wait cost her life after the birth.⁷

Ace carries his mother’s family name. Rouge trusted Garp to raise her son, so the chart draws a caretaker line from Garp to Ace beside the lines from Dadan.⁹

Sabo was born to nobles of the Goa Kingdom.⁹ The chart draws his parents as one symbol. Their adopted son Stelly, Sabo’s adoptive brother, appears in chapter 586 and later becomes king of Goa.⁷

The initial D. runs through the Monkey D. Luffy family tree, and it also appears in names that have no tie to Luffy. Garp, Dragon and Luffy carry it as Monkey D., Ace and his mother as Portgas D., and Ace’s father as Gol D. Roger.⁹ Sabo does not. Looper describes the Will of D. as a bond among people with that initial, tied to the Void Century and perhaps inherited, and says that the manga has not explained it.⁹

In volume 107, which collects chapters 1077 to 1088, King Cobra of Alabasta asks the Five Elders about his ancestor Nefertari Lili and the Will of D., and before his death he tells Sabo that Luffy and Vivi share it.⁵ In volume 110 the broadcast of Vegapunk, which concerns the Will of D., is cut off when the Five Elders blast the robot EMET into the sea.⁵

The God Valley flashback of volume 114 gives the real name of Rocks as Davy D. Xebec, a descendant of Davy D. Jones, and Imu says that killing him will end the Davy line, which stretches back to Joyboy.⁵ In volume 115 Imu declares that Rocks, Roger, Luffy, Nika, Davy Jones and the Will of D. are all connected.⁵ No chapter gives a tie of blood between Luffy and the other bearers, so the chart draws no line for the initial.

Luffy’s mother has not appeared or been named in any chapter up to 1198, and SlashFilm notes that his grandmother on the Monkey side is unknown as well.⁸ The chart draws the mother as an unrevealed person, joined to Dragon by a line of unknown status.

When a girl named Ginny appeared in chapter 1095, Dexerto called her likely to be Luffy’s mother, while it allowed that she might be the mother of Bonney instead.¹⁰ Volume 108 settled the question the other way, since the baby Ginny bears is Bonney.⁵ Such claims stay in the text and off the chart.

Dragon’s own past also changed in 2026. SlashFilm wrote in 2025 that he left the Marines in discontent after the destruction of Ohara.⁸ Volume 114 shows the break earlier, at God Valley, where the rookie Dragon stands beside his father, is shocked by the massacre of civilians and mutinies after Magnolia, the mother of Shanks and his twin Shamrock, is killed.⁵ Garp then frees his son at Marineford, and the chart marks the Marine past of Dragon from the last story point.

A square is a man and a circle is a woman. Sabo’s parents share one symbol, and the dotted line to Stelly marks an adoption.

Read this way, the Monkey D. Luffy family tree has three families by birth and one household of choice on Mount Corvo. Each group wears its own colour, with a letter at the corner of every member, such as M for the Marines and R for the Revolutionary Army. Sabo gains the green of the Revolutionary Army at the Dressrosa story point. The gold double lines are the sworn brothers, and the caretaker lines run from Dadan to all three boys and from Garp to Ace.

Each line carries words at both ends. The line from Dragon to Luffy reads as help from a stranger at Loguetown and turns distant once Garp names the father.
