Why Does the Mark Appear So Clearly in the Photo?
In ONE PIECE Chapter 1130, Luffy’s crewmate mark on his left arm was prominently displayed.
But why does the mark appear so clearly in a blurry photo?
Did Later Crewmates Even Notice It?
In Chapter 1130, Robin noticed the X-mark on Luffy’s left arm while looking at a photo of Luffy in his Nika form, published in a newspaper covering the Egghead Incident.
Although the photo showed motion blur, the mark was vividly clear. This intrigued Robin, who expressed that something about it felt off.
Neither Robin, Franky, nor Brook seemed to have noticed the mark before.
It’s surprising, considering the mark was never mentioned in earlier depictions or noticed by the crew in their interactions.
It’s safe to assume the mark was not permanently etched. If it were drawn on, it would likely have faded during Luffy’s battles and daily life.
Unlike the indestructible Straw Hat, the mark doesn’t seem to share that quality. Robin’s long proximity to Luffy makes it odd that she’s only noticing it now, suggesting the mark might ordinarily be invisible.
The original crew, up to Chopper, was aware of the mark, but it’s likely they avoided explaining its meaning to newer crewmates, respecting Vivi’s situation.
Even if the crew had forgotten the mark, its reappearance aligns with Luffy’s transformation into Nika.
The mark might only emerge when Luffy activates Nika’s powers, as Robin speculated. Yet, this doesn’t fully explain why the mark is the only clear part of a blurry photo.
