There are many theories out there about what the ‘D’ in Monkey D. Luffy’s name stands for but we may never know for sure what Oda was thinking when he came up with it. One popular theory is that ‘D’ is short for ‘Drummer’ referring to the fact that Luffy’s grandfather was a drummer in a band. This would explain why Luffy is always tapping his feet and why he loves music so much.
Another theory is that ‘D’ refers to Douglas Bullet a character in One Piece who was also known as the ‘Pirate King’. This would make sense as Luffy is also striving to become the Pirate King. Douglas Bullet was a very powerful pirate and it’s possible that Oda was hinting at Luffy’s potential by giving him the same initial.
Another possibility is that ‘D’ refers to the Devil Fruit that Luffy ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi. This would explain why Luffy is immune to bullets as the ‘D’ in his name stands for ‘Devil’.
Whatever the case may be we may never know for sure what the ‘D’ in Monkey D. Luffy’s name stands for. However it’s still fun to speculate and come up with our own theories!
