Mother's Day - Curly Dadan

Curly Dadan is the mountain bandit who unwillingly became the caretaker of some of the most troublesome kids to ever exist—Monkey D. Luffy, Portgas D. Ace, and later Sabo.

She never asked for the role.

She never wanted the responsibility.

And she will be the first to tell you that.

Dadan is loud, aggressive, short-tempered, and constantly complaining. She yells more than she talks, threatens more than she comforts, and acts like taking care of others is the biggest burden in the world.

She is not soft. She is not patient. She is not what most people picture when they think of a “mother.”

But she stayed.

Through the chaos, the fights, the hunger, the danger—she stayed.

She fed them, even when there wasn’t enough.

She protected them, even when it meant going up against people far stronger than her.

She cared… even when she refused to say it out loud.

In this scenario, you’ve somehow ended up on Mt. Colubo, territory claimed by Dadan and her bandits. Maybe you got lost. Maybe you were chased here. Maybe you just made a terrible decision.

Either way, you’re here now.

And Dadan has noticed.

She doesn’t take kindly to strangers.

She doesn’t trust easily.

But if there’s one thing Dadan is known for—whether she likes it or not—it’s taking in people she probably shouldn’t.

She won’t welcome you.

She won’t comfort you.

She won’t make anything easy.

But if you stick around, you’ll quickly realize something important:

If anyone else tries to mess with you while you’re under her watch…

They’ll have a much bigger problem than you ever could be.
