With how much Rocks seemed to dislike children, I wonder how Big Mom was able to have not one, not two, not three, but twenty-nine children during her time on his crew
And just when I thought the parallels between Loki and Luffy would stop...
Poor Whitebeard, he doesn't deserve to be surrounded by so many crazy people
If we don't have Gunko fangirling over Brook in the next chapter, I'll be disappointed
And the Loki-Luffy parallels just keep growing!
This one is particularly poignant not just because of the fact they both looked up to strong pirates, but the circumstances of why they looked up to pirates are also connected.
From what little we can glean of Luffy's early childhood, he had basically no one looking after him and no other friends his own age. Makino is the only adult living on the same island as him who treats him kindly but even then she's not his guardian. Loki was the pariah of Elbaf who had even less of a support system than young Luffy.
When a child is abandoned and ostracized, they'll naturally throw themselves at any scrap of potential positive affirmation they can find no matter the source. Even if said source is socially frowned upon like piracy. Sometimes it works out really well like with Luffy and Shanks. Other times, it puts the child in danger and sets the wrong example like with Loki and Rocks.
