| rdfs:comment | - The Jolly family (ジョリーファミリー Jorī famirī) is a family which originated from the Grand Line island kingdom, Aspara. Originally as large and widespread as any average family, the Jollys became fractured and torn apart during Decaden's tyrannic rule over the island. With many family members lost, disconnected or even dead, the Jollys have dwindled into a small, almost extinct family unit; however, with the adoptions of other people into the family or the adoptions into other families themselves, the Jollys have begun to regrow and flourish once more.

| abstract | - The Jolly family (ジョリーファミリー Jorī famirī) is a family which originated from the Grand Line island kingdom, Aspara. Originally as large and widespread as any average family, the Jollys became fractured and torn apart during Decaden's tyrannic rule over the island. With many family members lost, disconnected or even dead, the Jollys have dwindled into a small, almost extinct family unit; however, with the adoptions of other people into the family or the adoptions into other families themselves, the Jollys have begun to regrow and flourish once more. The family itself is mostly filled with youthful people; whether they're young in spirit, age, appearance or mentality. Because of this, many members of the Jolly family retain a child-like attitude and demeanor despite their respective ages, such as twenty-year old Jolly D. Chris. Likewise, because the family traces its roots back to Aspara, which is famed as having the greatest artists and entertainers in the world, this has resulted in many Jolly family members being highly gifted in the arts in one way or another, with the only exception being Blade D. Kris, who lacks any artistic talent aside from singing. Additionally, the family tends to possess members who come from wildly different walks of life. So far, the family has produced a revolutionary, a Marine and a handful of pirates. As of now, many members of the Jolly family have turned to piracy at one point or another in their lives, with five members currently sailing the seas in pirate crews. Additionally, because of the suffering they received under Decaden's reign, many members of the Jolly family hold a personal resentment towards the World Government in some way, albeit not everyone in the family feels this way; one example being Kris, who decided to become a Marine in order to fight back against injustice towards others.
