Monkey D.

Luffy, commonly known as "Straw Hat Luffy" or simply "Straw Hat",[10] is

the founder and captain of the increasingly infamous and powerful Straw Hat Pirates.[26]

[27] He pursues the legendary treasure of the late Gol D. Roger in order to become the

new Pirate King[28] and reach a further, untold dream (currently known to only his crew,

family and closest friends).[29][30] He believes that being the Pirate King means having

the most freedom in the world.[31]

Born on Dawn Island, Luffy is the son of Revolutionary leader Monkey D. Dragon[32] and

grandson of the Marine hero Monkey D. Garp[33] and as such is a member of the Clan of D.

Most of his childhood was shaped by Garp and Curly Dadan,[34] under whose care he

befriended and swore brotherhood to the late Portgas D. Ace[35] and Sabo.[36] However,

he draws his greatest inspiration from the pirate Shanks, who (unwittingly) enabled him

to eat the Devil Fruit that turned his body into rubber,[37] sacrificed an arm to save his life,

and gifted his signature straw hat as a symbol of their vow to reunite someday, after

Luffy became a great pirate.[38]

As a pirate, Luffy has actively opposed countless regional, national, and global powers,

beginning with several established East Blue pirates and extending to the Marines,

the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Cipher Pol, the World Nobles and Five Elders, and even

the Four Emperors of the New World. Despite his young age and relatively short career,

he has triumphed over a majority of these, successfully invading and indirectly causing

the annihilation of Enies Lobby, escaping the impregnable Impel Down, enabling several

key developments in the Summit War of Marineford, and defeating three Warlords and an

Emperor in direct combat. At the same time, he carries a great penchant for attracting

friends and allies; in addition to personally engaging every member of his crew, he has

earned regard and gratitude among many nations, fellow pirates, the Revolutionary

Army, and even several Marines.

Luffy has gained worldwide infamy through his accomplishments, heritage, and general

recklessness, drawing many large bounties[23][22][21][20][19][18] as well as the focused


hostility of the World Government, Marine Headquarters, and Fleet Admiral Sakazuki in

particular.[39] Currently, he is recognized as a central member of the Worst Generation,


[40] the unwilling leader of the seven-crew Straw Hat Grand Fleet, and—in wake of

defeating Kaidou during the Raid on Onigashima—one of the Four Emperors, with a

bounty of 3,000,000,000.[4] Since the awakening of the Gomu Gomu no Mi after

centuries, Luffy has also been heralded as the second coming of Joy Boy, as well as the

current incarnation of the Sun God, Nika.

He is the main protagonist of the One Piece manga and anime series.
