The One Piece world has many diverse powers and powerful characters. However, among them there are a few characters that are often forgotten, such as the case of Ace’s mother – Portgas D. Rouge. Although her strength is different from the brutal strength of characters like Kaido and Big Mom,… it is still remarkable and deserves to be recognized.
Portgas D. Rouge stands out for an extraordinary feat, mentioned in chapter 550 of the One Piece manga. She extended her pregnancy by twenty months to protect her son from naval pursuit. For a normal woman, prolonging pregnancy for nearly 2 years is impossible and inconsistent with reality, yet Rouge was able to do it. Thereby showing Rouge’s special endurance, stamina and determination.
As a member of the D. family, Ace’s mother displays typical characteristics of this family. It is courage and unshakable determination. Her willingness to sacrifice herself for Ace not only reflects D.’s will, but also highlights her admirable nature as a mother, something that is often overshadowed by greater feats in the One Piece universe. .
Rouge’s story at first glance doesn’t seem like anything special in the context of One Piece, but it resonates greatly thanks to its ordinary nature. Emphasizes the strength that comes from the love of parents, a theme that transcends supernatural powers and is shared by other characters such as Bellemere and Ginny.
The power of love and motherhood can motivate a person’s incredible actions, an element that resonates strongly both within and outside the anime universe.
From the story of Portgas D. Rouge, One Piece illustrates that strength can be expressed in many ways, not just limited to physical or extraordinary strength. Rouge is proof that the power of parents can be one of the most powerful, even in a world filled with supernatural abilities.
