Hi folks.
So I've come to the realization the that the Crane Wives song "Never Love an Anchor" just fits stupidly thematically well with luffy as a charecter.
Parent Crocodile Theory? That is absolutely an emotionally incapable crocodile apologizing to luffy before he ever got to know him.
Dragon? He chose to give luffy up probably before he was born, and luffy wasn't even aware that was his dad. He's apologizing for ever having to give luffy up. Specifically the "my chest is filled with guilt and not remorse" line (or something like that).
And worst of all, Shanks. The man who knew luffy and still chose to leave. The one that impacted luffy the most out of ALL of them. The man luffy carved his life around. The name Anchor, that comes from a pirate captain that rooted his way into this small child. The one who left of his own volition.
It just hurts, man. Like, there is not an adult luffy has met (besides those on his crew) that have chosen him above all else. Poor baby.
