Luffy’s Last Words Were to His Unborn Son – Nami | One Piece

anime tv

By MORZATPublished 6 months ago 3 min read

Luffy is not afraid to die.

He was never afraid of injury, loss or unknown. He laughed in the face of danger, ran directly to death, if it meant to save someone and believed that a dream was always worth pain.

But when his last moment came, something changed.

His last words were not for his crew. Not for his dream. Not for one piece.

Were for a child who had never met.

And for a woman who had never told him he would be a father.

Did not know to the very end

Luffy had never slowed down for a long time to notice Nami's silence. She tried to find the time - before the last battle, after the war, when things were calm again. But there was nothing calm with Luffy. He always ran forward, laughed, fought, protected.

And then he began to cough blood.

The power of Gear 5 pushed his body too far. Every transformation went to him. He ignored it - of course he did. He had a war to win.

But at the last moment, bleeding and brass, Luffy looked at Nami with his wide eyes. She held her hand, shaking and crying.

And she whispered it:

"You'll be your father."

Time stiff - then moved too fast

Luffy's eyes were flicker - not fear, not sadness. I'm just surprised.

He didn't want to live to see his son. He didn't want to hold him, he taught him how to laugh too loud, eat too much meat or stretch his hands like his old man. He knew it.

But in that short moment everything slowed.

And Luffy is still smiling with blood, saying words that remain with us forever.

"Tell him ... I was free."

Report stronger than the crown

Luffy didn't have to say anything else. The one sentence carried everything he had ever been. He wasn't a king. He wasn't a hero. He was a boy who lived exactly as he wanted - wild, loud, loyal, full of love.

His dream was not golden or titles.

It was this:

Live without chains.

Giving others also this freedom.

To make sure his son would never have to fight for the right to laugh.

He didn't say goodbye. He didn't take the time.

He just left his legacy in a few soft words. And then he was gone.

Nami never let that moment

When the crew buried Luffy, they didn't know about the child. Nami held it for weeks. Maybe she was dull. Maybe he was afraid. Or maybe she just didn't want to say it out loud, because it would do real.

But every time she touched her stomach, she heard his voice.

"Tell him ... I was free."

She said it back to herself. Every day. Like prayer. As a promise.

Their son was born under the quiet sky

No fanfare. No Pirates encourage. No flag of a straw hat in the wind. Just Nami, alone, brought Luffy's son to a world that helped change.

He looked like his father - a messy hair, a cheeky smile. Even as a child, he stretched his hands as if trying to catch the whole sky.

And Nami told him stories. About the sea. About adventure.

About a man who never stopped laughing.

The man who died smiled - not for glory, but for freedom.

The hat remained in the box

Nami kept Luffy's straw hat wrapped in a fabric, hidden in a small wooden chest. She didn't work on the wall or sat her on the grave. It wasn't a relic. It was his piece.

When her son was old enough to ask, she opened the box.

"It belonged to your father," she said.

"He didn't wear it because he was strong."

He wore it because someone believed in him. ”

Her son said nothing. He just raised his hat, looked out to the horizon and smiled.

As if he had been waiting all his life to start running.
