In One Piece, Oda said Luffy would lose another close relative. Who do you think this man is?

Luffy's closest relatives should be dragon, Karp, red hair and Saab. Among them, it is only Karp who is most likely to be written by Oda.

Rule out dragons and Saab first. If Saab dies, it will repeat the story of Ace's death before, and Saab is here to make up for Ace's shortcomings. Dragons don't die. As the most evil element in the eyes of the world government, the dragon is so mysterious that we all don't know what the specific ability of the dragon is. It is said to be very powerful. I don't know how it is, which has aroused everyone's appetite. If the dragon dies, then all the foreshadowing of the revolutionary army that Oda has been burying is a joke.

Second, rule out red hair. There are too few shots of red hair, but every appearance is amazing and will have a very significant impact. At present, the last battle between Luffy and Blackbeard, red hair will definitely appear. As a person with such a huge flow, ODA won't let him leave. A lot of foreshadowing on red hair must be explained clearly. Like who cut off Kidd's arm? Who are those cadres of the red hair regiment? These are all traffic, there must be. Red hair can't die.

In the end, only Karp was left. I am getting old. His foreshadowing has almost appeared and has no effect on the main line. Moreover, sometimes Karp's appearance will make the plot awkward. For example, I think Karp is embarrassed. Although, later, ODA threw another one? Navy hero? The gimmicks of origin, but these are not enough to support Karp to continue to live. The battle position in the navy has been replaced by the red dog. For Luffy, having this grandfather is actually the same as life without this grandfather.

Some people speculate that it is red hair or Saab, I think it is impossible. After all, red hair is the four emperors, and everyone should give him face. Moreover, judging from the current plot, red hair has something to do with Celestial Dragons. I believe that such a strong strength and background will not be left behind in the end; Saab is even more impossible. As Luffy's brother, Ace's sacrifice has brought him to the brink of collapse. If Saab dies again, won't Luffy just go crazy?
