There's yet another insufferable black leftist trying to claim that One Piece is a progressive work of fiction and that Oda is a communist .
People like this make it hard to enjoy the series sometimes.

One good thing about post time skip One Piece is that Oda isn't afraid of drawing good looking women. It's always hilarious to watch leftoid One Piece fans cry about Nami and other female characters becoming
"over-sexualized" as the series progresses . Newsflash wokies women's body proportions (including boobs and hips ) grow as they mature, but I guess troons that inject hormones into their body's from the age of 10 will never understand that.

It is especially funny because of the Nami is Oda’s Wife truth. They are literally getting mad that he loves his wife to the point all other women becomes his wife on accident because he’s just that focused on her.

Troons literally hating that a man loves a women to the point he made her timeless and immortal via ink.

And if you take the idea that “upping the fanservice is because Oda misses his wife that much”, it becomes kind of endearing and wholesome in its own weird way that only makes sense if you know the kind of guy Oda is. Didn’t he say that the whole thing about Ace being Roger’s son was because he was processing his feelings about being a dad for the first time?

It kind of reminds me of how Araki’s wife did an interview and it just showed how the two of them almost feel like JJBA characters brought into the real world.

I mean, Oda got married and realized that it was actually awesome to have a wife, and he wanted to celebrate that the best (and most tasteful) way he could as a cartoonist: Boobies (and the occasional ass-shot) everywhere.

Pretty much. This is also why there was a sudden rise of father-daughter backstories. If he had been a father back during Alabasta, he would've totally done this more for Vivi and Cobra.

There is a One Piece RPG that came out the other year, the excuse to go back and see all the big story arcs was that you were going into a Memory world.

When you fight Dofflamingo the Memory World freaks out and the Dressrosa Era Law's love for Corazon is so strong that it Manifests him to help you in the fight.

And after the fight Law gets to say goodbye properly

What is Oda trying to convey to the audience with the tendency of his characters to raise other men's children (Whitebeard/Ace&Blackbeard D. Xebec., Kuma/Bonney, Garp/Ace, Roger/Shanks, Dragon/Sabo)?

Who raises you is more important than who created you? Or go off and do your own thing and somebody else will clean up after you?

Obviously children need fathers, and if the biological father isn't going to do it (either because they died early on or they were shitheads), someone else will man up to be the father. This isn't really an Oda thing, either, plenty of other media has this theme.

Or in layman’s terms: “he may be your father, but he ain’t ya daddy”. Or “I’m not a stepdad. I’m a dad who stepped up.”

When it came to Ace, the idea was “don’t let your lineage be the thing that defines you or curses you”. And with Sanji, his whole thing is carrying on what Zeff taught him, including with his fighting style and code of chivalry.

Fuck I’m coming up on 22 years following this series myself. I can remember my first exposure for OP was in a bootleg Yugioh! magazine, where they were talking about other big anime in Japan to fill pages because this was 2002 and like two Yugioh sets had been released in the US.

If you are implying that Oda is trying to push anti-biological family propaganda, then stop. Many biological parent-child pairs have excellent relationship in OP.

There are differing examples in OP:

I was prodding for a reaction with my initial comment, but I think Oda writes these free-range father characters who find these people who would otherwise be lost/wasted/unfulfilled and inspire/train them to reach their potential.

Or put another way, someone who sees something in a character that they don't see in themselves yet and at least starts them on the road to getting there.

Hell, Garp, despite being one of the oldest and strongest characters in the series is mentally The Anti-Boomer. He's not hanging around to relive past glories or to hold on to rank or authority; he's spent decades trying to find someone he can pass the torch on to (Ace, Luffy, Kuzan) and finally found the one (Koby). Thinking on it more, if there is something Oda likes more than adoptive fathers, it is the idea of a previous generation heroically sacrificing itself to make a better future for the next.
