Luffy's mother remains one of the biggest mysteries in the One Piece series. Officially, her identity has not been revealed by the creator Eiichiro Oda. Here is what is known and speculated:
- Luffy was raised by Curly Dadan, a mountain bandit who acted as his foster mother, but she is not his biological mother
- Eiichiro Oda has stated that he is not interested in exploring Luffy's mother’s story in detail, and she has not appeared directly in the manga or anime
- In chapter #1057, an extra story shows a mysterious woman holding a baby in a flashback with Shanks, which fans speculate could be Luffy's mother, but this is unconfirmed
- Oda has mentioned in interviews that Luffy's mother is likely alive, would be a tough and strict woman, and not a traditionally beautiful mother figure. He hinted she might have a reason to stay away from Luffy, possibly related to the dangers around his father, Monkey D. Dragon
- Various fan theories exist, including that she might have been a normal citizen, a Celestial Dragon, or even the villain Crocodile using a transformation, but none are confirmed
- Luffy's father, Monkey D. Dragon, is well-known as the leader of the Revolutionary Army, but Luffy’s mother has not been officially introduced or named in the story
In summary, Luffy's biological mother has not been officially revealed, and the series provides only subtle hints and speculation. Curly Dadan is the closest maternal figure known to have raised him
