{on to becomdeduced that Cassandra had not given her death wish and that it was due to guilt over her murdering Faizul. They began looking into what had brought the death wish back.Her reckless training was interrupted when an [[Officer ]] was called over the frequencies. [[Bruce Wayne (New Earth)|Batman]]'s longtime ally and friend, [[James Gordon (New Earth)|Commissioner Gordon]] had been shot in cold blood.  It was during yet another training session in the [[Batcave]] that Cassandra first met her future friend Stephanie Brown (The [[Stephanie Brown (New Earth)|Spoiler]]). It wasn't long until Batman gave her a cave of her own to operate from. Her training continued as she found even more powerful opponents like [[Bizarro]], [[Supergirl]] and Shadow Thief during the Joker's Last Laugh, as well as numerous villains during the aftermath of [[Our Worlds at War]]. These activities had not gone unnoticed by [[Bruce Wayne (New Earth)|Batman]] and [[Barbara Gordon (New Earth)|Oracle]]. Impressed, Batman allowed Cassandra to continue -- despite Oracle's protests -- until the fateful day arrived that Cassandra fought Shiva on the building tops of Gotham City. Shiva won the battle fairly easily, killing Cassandra with a shot to a nerve cluster near the heart. After the battle, within a temple devoted to her, Shiva brought Cassandra back to life (not a Lazarus Pit). Shiva's price: A rematch. This time, with her death wish satisfied, Cassandra won and became the first to defeat [[Lady Shiva]] in martial combat.  Unfortunately the victory would be short lived. [[Bruce Wayne (New Earth)|Bruce Wayne]] was in jail on suspicion of murder. Cassandra arrived back at the cave in time to see Batman leave. Cassandra's resulting investigation revealed that [[Bruce Wayne (New Earth)|Batman]] and [[Bruce Wayne (New Earth)|Bruce Wayne]] were in fact the same person. Later she, along with [[Stephanie Brown (New Earth)|Spoiler]] and [[Richard Grayson (New Earth)|Nightwing]], discovered critical clues that pointed to [[Bruce Wayne (New Earth)|Bruce Wayne]]'s innocence and, eventually, incriminating evidence to the real culprit: [[David Cain]]. Her father safely behind bars and no battle-to-the-death with Shiva to train for, Cassandra focused on her crime fighting career.  ===Tough Love===Batgirl makes a mistake due to stress, and Oracle insists that they vacation on a cruise liner. [[Kon-El (New Earth)|Superboy]] attends the same cruise, and together they stop a terrorist named [[Tai'Darshan (New Earth)|Black Wind]]. Superboy gives Batgirl his number, and Batgirl kisses him. Batgirl goes on  date with Superboy in [[Smallville, Kansas|Smallville]], but they end up deciding to just be friends. Batgirl and Batman work together when [[Karl Hellfern (New Earth)|Doctor Death]] tries to auction his chemical weapons in Gotham. They pursue him to [[Tarakstan]], where they're forced to ally with Black Wind. Doctor Death is shot, and Black Wind sacrifices his life to contain the chemical weapons.   Barbara Gordon lends her old costume to Cassandra, who briefly uses it on patrol. Batgirl investigates a new drug called Soul. This leads her to the [[Lost Girls]] street gang, whom Cassandra fights them under the Soul's influence. Later, Batgirl hunts and stops a serial killer named [[Douglas Haze (New Earth)|Doll Man]]. When she tries to stop a white slavery ring, Batman is angry at Batgirl for ruining his sting operation. Batman tells Cassandra that she has been making too many mistakes recently, and forces her to resign as Batgirl. Despite this, she returns to the streets in Barbara Gordon's costume. Investigating Soul leads her to the scientist supplying the Lost Girls, who is revealed to be Doctor Death. Doctor Death doses Batgirl and Batman with concentrated Soul, and they fight to the death. This allows them to reconcile. Batgirl has a tender moment with Batman, and she explains that her father never let her display affection. Batman asks who she is loyal to, and Batgirl responds that she is loyal not to him but to their symbol. Robin takes Doctor Death into custody. Cassandra begins enjoying her new freedom, and Oracle takes her to a public garden. This garden is revealed to be a plot by [[Pamela Isley (New Earth)|Poison Ivy]] to recreate the Garden of Eden. Batgirl blows Poison Ivy's Tree of Knowledge and stops her.   ===War Games==={{Main|Batman: War Games}} [[Stephanie Brown (New Earth)|Stephanie Brown]] became the new [[Robin]] when [[Timothy Drake (New Earth)|Tim Drake]] quit, and Batgirl teamed with her to take down the [[Oswald Cobblepot (New Earth)|Penguin]]. Batman had Batgirl stage a public fight with [[Onyx Adams (New Earth)|Onyx]] in the [[Iceberg Lounge]] to improve Onyx's street credibility.<ref>{{c|Detective Comics #796}}</ref> Batgirl was later sent to protect Tim Drake when [[Maat Shadid (New Earth)|Scarab]] is looking to kill Robin.<ref>{{c|Robin Vol 4 127}}</ref> Later, Batgirl stopped a robot called [[Project Mars (New Earth)|Project Mars]] who was trying to destroy the public library. This revealed that her illiteracy was still a problem when she had trouble determining its self-destruct code. When Stephanie Brown was fired as Robin and told to give up crime-fighting, she approached Batgirl to thank her for their friendship.  Gotham became a war zone when the leaders of several  [[Gotham Organized Crime|crime syndicates]] were killed, leaving a massive vacuum.<ref>{{c|Batman: The 12-Cent Adventure Vol 1 1}}</ref> Batgirl was sent to deal with the [[Lucky Hand Triad]] in [[Chinatown]] when [[Kwan Lin (New Earth)|Kwan Lin]] was killed and later she helped Onyx and Orpheus put out a battle between the [[Hill Gang]] and the [[Latino Unified Gang|Latino Unified]].<ref>{{c|Detective Comics #797}}</ref> Batgirl then pursued [[Alexandra Kosov (New Earth)|Alexandra Kosov]] of the [[Odessa Mob]] into an explosive firefight, but lost her.<ref>{{c|Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #182}}</ref> [[Catalina Flores (New Earth)|Tarantula]] fought Batgirl and rejected her offer to bring the Latino Unified under the protection of Orpheus.<ref>{{c|Batman: Gotham Knights #56}}</ref> Batgirl confronted [[Stephanie Brown (New Earth)|Spoiler]] and told her to get off the streets, but Spoiler did not listen.<ref>{{c|Batgirl #55}}</ref> Soon after, Batgirl joined Batman and Nightwing to stop a shootout at [[Louis E.

Because of this and [[Richard Grayson (New Earth)|Nightwing]] being injured during the [[War Games]], [[Bruce Wayne (New Earth)|Batman]] suggested that he and Batgirl move to [[Blüdhaven]], as well as financially supporting them. There, she quickly made a name for herself by defeating the Society of Evil. [[Slade Wilson (New Earth)|Deathstroke]] later took on a contract from the [[Oswald Cobblepot (New Earth)|Penguin]] to kill Batgirl and decided to let his daughter Rose Wilson (the current [[Rose Wilson (New Earth)|Ravager]]) do the job instead. Cassandra beat Rose by critically wounding her and giving [[Slade Wilson (New Earth)|Deathstroke]] no choice but to get her medical attention. It was during fathers' day that Cassandra became infatuated with knowing who her mother was. Interrogating all the contacts she had (including [[Bruce Wayne (New Earth)|Batman]] and her father, [[David Cain]]) she eventually found her mother to be Lady Shiva. ===Justice League Elite===Cassandra joined the Justice League Elite, masquerading as an assassin named Kasumi to monitor the team for Batman and participated in several missions with them. Ultimately she helped them save the world from the [[Worlogog]] and a psychic impression of [[Manchester Black]] that had taken over the team's leader, [[Vera Black]]. She revealed herself to her teammate [[Coldcast]] to tell him that he was not a bad guy before he was accused of murder. She personally stood by him in clearing his name. ===League of Assassins==={{main|Robin: Wanted}}Returning to Gotham City Cassandra discovered that not only had her adoptive family left on a year-long training trip without her but that Batman had left a recently cured Harvey Dent to protect Gotham in his stead. Despite this Cassandra still retained the Batgirl persona and patrolled Gotham while staying at Wayne Manor under Alfred's care. Due to Alfred's influence, Cassandra would gradually learn to read and write due to her attending ESL classes between her nightly activities. It was during one of these patrols, however, that Deathstroke managed to not only inject her with a controlled dose of his serum but influenced her enough to join him in a plan to form an army involving David Cain's 'daughters'.  Slade's influence Cassandra gained control of a part of the League of Assassins, assassinating Nyssa al Gul in the process, and became a member of his Titan's East. As leader of the League of Assassins she also -- again under Slade's control -- attempted to kill Kara Zor-el and masterminded the escape of David Cain from prison. She was cured when Timothy Drake injected her with an antiserum during a confrontation between the Teen East and the Teen Titans. However, suffering residual effects of the drug, she briefly worked for David Cain in attaining the drug Pheno before fully coming to her senses and returning to the Bat Family.  ===Redemption===Feeling partially responsible for what happened to her, Batman allowed her to return after a strict detoxification program and gave her a strict curfew. Nightwing however was not so accepting, regarding her with open hostility and suspicion. When Cassandra began seeking vengeance upon her father and Slade, she had to do it secretly due to their mistrust. Unfortunately her activities eventually were found out, resulting in her clashing with Nightwing and stealing a Batwing from the Batcave. However, the ordeal resulted in Cassandra officially adopted as Bruce Wayne's daughter. ===Outsiders===With Batman's invitation Cassandra began working in the Outsiders team and, despite some mistrust from some members due to her recent activities, was accepted as part of the team. When Batman suddenly disappeared without word or warning, the Outsiders went looking for him all across Gotham. Cassandra went to the [[Iceberg Lounge]] to question [[Oswald Cobblepot (New Earth)|Penguin]] about Batman's whereabouts, but learned nothing from him and instead she was forced to deal with [[John Denetto (New Earth)|Johnny Stitches]].<ref>[[Batman and the Outsiders Vol 2 11]]</ref> Back at their headquarters, the Outsiders received a message from Batman, but Batgirl noticed that he wasn't the real man. However, she decided to play along the impostor's plan, allowing [[Salah Miandad (New Earth)|REMAC]] to be injected wit a virus that caused him to die in a explosion that left [[Anissa Pierce (New Earth)|Thunder]] in a coma. Batgirl was blamed for the disaster and the Outsiders disbanded. Afterwards, Batgirl went to the Batcave, where she learned that the attack was part of the [[Black Glove]]'s plan and she decided to reform the Outsiders.<ref>[[Batman and the Outsiders Vol 2 12]]</ref> Batgirl began recruiting heroes across Gotham that matched Batman's unique abilities in order to create a team that could replace the missing Batman and the disbanded Outsiders at the same time, but Batgirl didn't expect that Nightwing would not agree with her plan.<ref>[[Batman and the Outsiders Vol 2 13]]</ref> Nightwing was having trouble coming to grips with his adoptive-father’s possible death, but this would eventually sort out their conflict after Alfred intervened on a fight between the two. Cassandra handed over further creation of the Network to Nightwing.  When the third crisis hit, Cassandra was among the heroes responding to an Article X draft to combat the rise of Darkseid. Cassandra has also been seen assisting [[Kara Zor-El (New Earth)|Supergirl]] and [[Wonder_Woman_(Diana_Prince)|Wonder Woman]] fight an incarnation of the villainous [[Chang Tzu (New Earth)|Chang Tzu]].{{Citation}} <!-- Battle for the Cowl -->Cassandra was summoned along with many other heroes, to Gotham city after Batman's death. Together, they formed the Network, a team designed to mantain order in Gotham during Batman's absence.<ref>{{c|Batman: Battle for the Cowl #1}}</ref> As part of this team, Batgirl teamed up with Huntress to stop [[Hugo Strange (New Earth)|Hugo Strange]] following Oracle's instructions. However, Batgirl was forced to fight Huntress to stop her from killing a criminal.<ref>{{c|Battle for the Cowl: The Network #1}}</ref> ===Batgirl Rising===Following the Battle for Batman's cowl, Cassandra began to feel emotional about her adoptive father's death, becoming disillusioned and passing her costume on to Stephanie Brown who becomes the new Batgirl. Cassandra leaves via the Gotham Airport, warning Stephanie not to follow her. After [[Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne|Batman's return]], it was revealed that Cassandra had handed over her Batgirl mantle to Stephanie, acting  in accords with her mentor's order in the event of his death or disappearance and because giving over the role would help Stephanie become a stronger hero. Drake remained in contact with her, implying that she's been working as an anonymous agent in Batman's plans. Shortly thereafter, Red Robin visited her in Hong Kong to exchange information on cases they were working with, on the crime boss and possible undercover cop [[Lynx]] and a mysterious assassin known as ''Cricket'' that Cassandra was searching for. Aside from the minor aid they offered each other, Tim had brought her a new costume with a Bat on it to replace the plain black costume she had been wearing even since she gave her Batgirl uniform and name to Stephanie, telling her that it didn't matter if she called herself Bat-Chick, Knightbat, or Black Robin, she had a family. She thanked him but said that family is not always home as she left, giving no sign she'd use the new costume but taking it with her regardless. Drake noted that despite her not wanting to be Batgirl any more, there was no sign she was being anything but true to herself and who she had wanted to become. ===Batman Incorporated===[[File:Blackbat 003.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Blackbat costume and identity]]{{main|Batman Incorporated}}Cassandra later becomes an operative of [[Batman Incorporated]] protecting [[Hong Kong]], using the suit given to her by Tim and calling herself ''Blackbat''. [[Batman (Bruce Wayne)|Bruce Wayne]] has her take a neo-heroin smuggling operation. Black Bat traveled to Paris following a homing signal to Red Robin to the final site in a tournament of assassins, saving him from being raped by ''Daughter of Acheron'', Ra's al Ghul's half sister, and defeated the vigilante Promise while freeing Drake. Cassandra then proceeded to take a sword and impale Tim in the chest, triggering confirmation that she had won the tournament, being one of the few in history to do so, and activating a system that would 'immortalize' her, by killing her with a laser. Red Robin saved her from the beam, and then revealed they had faked Red Robin's death using a trick sword, blood packets, and a stopped heart to fool the temple's automated systems. They attempted to examine the base, but although Tim conversed with the assassin tournament's creator, a previously unknown centuries old immortal, the base self destructed before they could learn any close as to his location. Red Robin came to Hong Kong to assist Black Bat in Cassandra's hunt for Cricket, but they were defeated by the Cricket, badly injuring Tim and promising to fight Cassandra 'For real' next time. | Powers                  = | Abilities               = * '''Peak Human Conditioning''': Through continuous intense training Cassandra represents the greatest fighting weapon ever conceived. She possesses peak level strength, stamina, speed and agility comparable to the finest human athlete. * {{Martial Arts}}: Due to her life long training Cassandra has a master level knowledge of all fighting arts known and unknown and continues to learn with every new opponent she faces. She was trained by her father ([[David Cain]]), along with several other members of the [[League of Assassins]], including [[Bronze Tiger]], [[Merlyn]] and [[Alpha]]. Upon taking the mantle of Batgirl, she was trained further by [[Batman]], [[Oracle]], [[Black Canary]], and [[Lady Shiva]]. She received supplementary instruction from [[Onyx Adams (New Earth)|Onyx]]. She has also invented her own styles and techniques.{{citation}}** {{Martial Arts|Dragon Style Kung Fu}}{{citation}}** '''The Falling Leaf Technique''' is a nerve pinch invented by Chinese monks in the [[16th Century]]. Cassandra and her father are the only people who know how to use it. * {{Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced)}}: Cassandra is schooled in all known and many unknown assassin techniques such as pressure points, killing techniques and stealth to name a few. * {{Tactical Analysis|Body Reading Ability}}: Cassandra has the advanced ability to read body language enabling her to read what people are thinking and tell what they are going to do next before they do it. She has been shown able to read opponents far faster than herself, along with non humans and even alien lifeforms once she is given a chance to learn their body language. This enables her to identify disguised and transformed people as well. * {{Investigation}}: She was also very briefly trained in detective methods by Tim Drake during their time in Blüdhaven. * {{Stealth}}: Due to her excessive training she is also a master of stealth. This ability was furthered during her time as [[Nothing|The Nothing]] and [[Kasumi]]. |                 = Cassandra possesses the peak human atrributes level of a girl of her age and weight, augmented by intensive regular exercise and combat training. Cassandra is capable of press lifting at least twice her own weight and can lift 230 lbs while running. Her training makes her capable of swinging on a grapple line even when injured. {{citation}}| Weaknesses              = * '''Dyslexia''': Cassandra has extreme dyslexia, making it very difficult for her to read.* '''Over-Reliance on''' {{Tactical Analysis|Body Reading Ability}}: While a definite strength in combat, Cassandra's ability to read body language can work against her when she can't properly discern an the intent of the opponents actions based on body language. Generally this can be happen when an opponent is very good ad disguising their intent like Slade, who can keep Cassandra distracted with subtle body language that could hint at many possible actions (Cassandra stated that when Slade moves, his body "sings like a chorus. Too fast with too many voices to pick up accurately".) In another instance it could be that an opponent isn't thinking or focusing on their movements as they make them like when Cassandra tried to stop a gunshot from a cybernetically enhanced assassin but couldn't because his cybernetics took over the aiming for him independently of his movements. The last way in which this weakness manifests is when Cassandra is facing an opponent who is mentally unstable or ill. Such an opponent is simply too unpredictable to anticipate. When Cassandra fought the Joker, the Joker had an edge in the beginning of the fight because she couldn't understand the Joker's body language or as Batman put it "she can read his body language too, but his body language just comes out as gibberish". | Equipment               = * '''[[Batsuit|Batgirl Suit]]'''* '''[[Utility Belt]]'''* '''[[Shadow Belt]]''': {{Formerly}} During her time as Kasumi on the Justice League Elite, she wore a belt of [[Thanagarian]] origin that allowed her to transform into and travel intangibly as a living shadow. Kasumi mostly used this when the team was on under-cover missions as the metahuman gang member The Nothing, the shadow form covering even her Kasumi disguise. | Transportation          = * '''[[Batcycle]]'''| Weapons                 = * '''[[Batarangs]]''' | Notes                   = * Cassandra Cain first appeared in {{c|Batman #567}}.

'''Monkey D. Luffy''',{{qref|name=first of all}} also known as '''"Straw Hat Luffy"'''  commonly as '''"Straw Hat"''',{{qref|name=first named by epithet of trait}} is a [[Pirate|pirate]] and the main protagonist of the [[One Piece (Anime)|anime]] and [[One Piece (Manga)|manga]], ''[[One Piece]]''. He is the son of [[Monkey D. Dragon]],{{qref|name=revelation of bloodline|chap=432|ep=314|page=16-17|text=Garp reveals Luffy's father to be the revolutionary Dragon.}} the grandson of [[Monkey D. Garp]],{{qref|name="Grandfather"|chap=431|ep=313|page=19|text=Luffy reveals Garp to be his grandfather by just addressing him as "Grandpa".}} the adoptive brother of [[Portgas D. Ace]] and [[Sabo]], and the foster son of [[Curly Dadan]]. His lifelong dream is to become the Pirate King by finding the [[One Piece|legendary treasure]] left behind by the late Pirate King, [[Gol D. Roger]].{{qref|chap=1|ep=4|page=44-45|text=Luffy first reveals his dream to Shanks as the latter leaves Foosha Village with his crew.}} He believes that being Pirate King means having the most freedom in the world.{{Qref|chap=507|ep=400|page=9|Luffy states his belief that the Pirate King has the most freedom in the world.}} He has eaten the [[Gomu Gomu no Mi]], which gives the consumer's body the properties of rubber.{{Qref|chap=1|ep=4|page=20-21|Luffy learns that he has eaten the Gomu-Gomu no Mi.}} As the founder and [[captain]] of the [[Straw Hat Pirates]], he is the first member of the crew, as well as one of its top three fighters.{{Qref|chap=606|ep=525|page=5|Caribou identifies Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji as the "Monster Trio".}}
  +
  +
Luffy has a worldwide reputation for causing trouble, challenging the [[Shichibukai]], the [[Marines]], and two of the [[Yonko]] ([[Charlotte Linlin|Big Mom]] and [[Kaido]]), additionally committing felonies and actions which were deemed threatening by the [[World Government]]. Furthermore, in the majority of these confrontations, he emerges as the victor. He has gained a reputation for being "reckless" and, in some cases, "insane", after causing an incident in [[Enies Lobby]], assaulting a [[World Noble]] at [[Sabaody Archipelago]], entering and escaping from [[Impel Down]], and joining the [[Battle of Marineford]].
  +
  +
He is, therefore, infamous for being the only known pirate to not only deliberately attack the three most important government facilities, but also escape from all of them alive. The additional fact that he punched a World Noble with full knowledge of the consequences, as well as his heritage, has caused Luffy to be labeled as a "Dangerous Future Element", earning the wrath of [[Marine Ranks#Fleet Admiral|Fleet Admiral]] [[Sakazuki]] and Marine Headquarters.{{qref|chap=557|ep=466|page=12|Akainu is the first person to identify Luffy as Garp's grandson, as well as Dragon's son.}}
  +
  +
These acts, among other things, have given him his current [[Bounties|bounty]] of {{B}} 500,000,000, one of the highest past or present bounties in the series. Having had a bounty of {{B}}300,000,000 prior to his arrival at the [[Sabaody Archipelago]], Luffy is one of eleven rookie pirates who has been referred to as the "Eleven Supernovas", pirates with bounties over {{B}}100,000,000 who have reached the [[Red Line]].{{qref|name=11 Supernovas|chap=498|ep=392|page=10-11|Luffy along with Zoro are revealed by Shakuyaku to be ones of the 11 Supernovas due to their bounties.}} He is also one of twelve pirates referred to as "[[The Worst Generation]]" (formerly known as "The Eleven Supernovas"{{Qref|chap=664|ep=589|page=10|Brownbeard explains the Worst Generation.}}).

{{main|Monkey D. Luffy/Gallery}}
  +
Luffy is renowned for his trademark [[Straw Hat|straw hat]] (from which he gets his nickname "Straw Hat Luffy"), which was lent to him when he was young by the legendary pirate captain, [[Shanks|"Red-Haired" Shanks]],{{Qref|chap=1|ep=4|page=46|Shanks gives his straw hat to Luffy.}} who in turn received it from [[Gol D. Roger]].{{Qref|chap=603|ep=523|page=6|Roger is seen wearing the straw hat.}} He wears short, blue trousers with cuffs, sandals, and a sleeveless red vest. Luffy also has a scar with two stitches underneath his left eye (which he earned by stabbing a knife under his eye to show Shanks that he was tough){{Qref|chap=1|ep=4|page=5|Luffy stabs himself underneath his eye to prove his toughness.}} and short, messy black hair. He was severely wounded by Akainu in the [[Battle of Marineford]],{{Qref|chap=578|ep=488|page=10|Akainu's attack goes through Jinbe and hits Luffy.}} leaving a large X-shaped scar on his chest.{{Qref|chap=598|ep=517|page=1|Luffy's large chest scar is revealed.}} Appearing to be scrawny underneath his shirt, he has a surprisingly well-built physique. He is quite short since he appears dwarfed by most individuals in the series.

===Before the Timeskip===
  +
Similar to most of his male crewmates, Luffy has the same outfit throughout most of the series, as opposed to the rest of the crew (especially [[Nami]] and [[Nico Robin]]), who change frequently. Luffy may wear a different outfit to suit the climate of an island (like a hooded parka on [[Drum Island]]{{Qref|name=Drum Island|chap=133|ep=80|page=5|Luffy's first Drum Island outfit is seen clearly.}} or desert robes in [[Alabasta]]{{Qref|name=Alabasta|chap=161|ep=96|page=5|Luffy's Alabasta outfit is seen for the first time.}}), but will switch back to his trademark red vest and blue shorts after the adventures on that island are over. Despite this, he will wear his usual outfit in different colors and has been known to sport other miscellaneous items on his person from time to time.
  +
  +
*During the [[Drum Island Arc]], he wore two parkas, the first being a dark red parka with fur on the cuffs, hood, and hem,{{Qref|name=Drum Island}} and then a checkered, hooded parka with the colors white, orange and bright yellow, which Nami wore in the beginning.{{Qref|chap=146|ep=87|page=14-15|Luffy puts on Nami's parka to keep himself warm.}}
  +
  +
*During the [[Alabasta Arc]], he wore desert robes consisting of a dark red robe with three white rings decorated along both of the sleeves and a light blue wrap over his head.{{Qref|name=Alabasta}}
  +
  +
*During the [[Skypiea Arc]], he wore a black wristband around his left wrist with a white bangle over it.{{Qref|chap=244|ep=158|page=4|Luffy begins wearing a black wristband with a white bangle.}}
  +
  +
*During the [[Long Ring Long Land Arc]], Luffy wore an afro on his head, dark red shorts, and red bandages on his feet, getting an image of a blue flaming skull and crossbones painted on his chest as well, when he was fighting [[Foxy]].{{Qref|volume=33|Luffy's outfit for the Davy Back Fight is seen in color.}}
  +
  +
*During the [[Enies Lobby Arc]], he wore black shorts which had more pockets than his blue shorts (However, Luffy noted that he couldn't fit his meat in them.).{{Qref|chap=368|ep=258|page=5|Luffy dons a pair of black shorts so he can carry meat in its pockets.}}
  +
  +
*During the [[Post-Enies Lobby Arc]], Luffy wore a white T-shirt with the [[Galley-La Company]] emblem on it in red; red liners around the top, shoulders, and collar; and navy blue shorts.{{Qref|chap=432|ep=314|page=3|Luffy's post-Enies Lobby outfit is seen in full.}}

*During the [[Thriller Bark Arc]], he wore an orange vest and red shorts.{{Qref|chap=442|ep=326|page=2|Luffy's Trhiller Bark outfit is seen in full.}} After the battle against Moriah in Thriller Bark, Luffy wore a dark decorated, jewelled armband around his left bicep, given to him by Nami.{{Qref|chap=486|ep=378|page=5|Luffy takes an armband from the treasure trove on Thriller Bark, and Nami lets him have it because it doesn't have any gems on it.}} This armband was later revealed to be a map that leads to [[Captain John]]'s lost treasure, which [[Buggy]] sought for some time - leading to Luffy handing the armband in for Buggy in exchange for his services at helping him navigate through Impel Down.{{Qref|chap=527|ep=424|page=8-11|Luffy hands his armband over to Buggy in exchange for being led to Ace.}}
  +
  +
*During the [[Sabaody Archipelago Arc]], in the manga he wore a blue vest and red shorts (which can be seen on the cover of volume 52). In the anime he wore the same blue vest, but with dark blue shorts.{{Qref|chap=490|ep=385|page=15|Luffy's Sabaody Archipelago outfit is seen in full.}}

Template:Monkey D. Luffy Infobox

Monkey D. Luffy,[1] also known as "Straw Hat Luffy"  commonly as "Straw Hat",[2] is a pirate and the main protagonist of the anime and manga, One Piece. He is the son of Monkey D. Dragon,[3] the grandson of Monkey D. Garp,[4] the adoptive brother of Portgas D. Ace and Sabo, and the foster son of Curly Dadan. His lifelong dream is to become the Pirate King by finding the legendary treasure left behind by the late Pirate King, Gol D. Roger.[5] He believes that being Pirate King means having the most freedom in the world.[6] He has eaten the Gomu Gomu no Mi, which gives the consumer's body the properties of rubber.[7] As the founder and captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, he is the first member of the crew, as well as one of its top three fighters.[8]

Luffy has a worldwide reputation for causing trouble, challenging the Shichibukai, the Marines, and two of the Yonko (Big Mom and Kaido), additionally committing felonies and actions which were deemed threatening by the World Government. Furthermore, in the majority of these confrontations, he emerges as the victor. He has gained a reputation for being "reckless" and, in some cases, "insane", after causing an incident in Enies Lobby, assaulting a World Noble at Sabaody Archipelago, entering and escaping from Impel Down, and joining the Battle of Marineford.

He is, therefore, infamous for being the only known pirate to not only deliberately attack the three most important government facilities, but also escape from all of them alive. The additional fact that he punched a World Noble with full knowledge of the consequences, as well as his heritage, has caused Luffy to be labeled as a "Dangerous Future Element", earning the wrath of Fleet Admiral Sakazuki and Marine Headquarters.[9]

These acts, among other things, have given him his current bounty of Beli 500,000,000, one of the highest past or present bounties in the series. Having had a bounty of Beli300,000,000 prior to his arrival at the Sabaody Archipelago, Luffy is one of eleven rookie pirates who has been referred to as the "Eleven Supernovas", pirates with bounties over Beli100,000,000 who have reached the Red Line.[10] He is also one of twelve pirates referred to as "The Worst Generation" (formerly known as "The Eleven Supernovas"[11]).

Appearance

Luffy is renowned for his trademark straw hat (from which he gets his nickname "Straw Hat Luffy"), which was lent to him when he was young by the legendary pirate captain, "Red-Haired" Shanks,[12] who in turn received it from Gol D. Roger.[13] He wears short, blue trousers with cuffs, sandals, and a sleeveless red vest. Luffy also has a scar with two stitches underneath his left eye (which he earned by stabbing a knife under his eye to show Shanks that he was tough)[14] and short, messy black hair. He was severely wounded by Akainu in the Battle of Marineford,[15] leaving a large X-shaped scar on his chest.[16] Appearing to be scrawny underneath his shirt, he has a surprisingly well-built physique. He is quite short since he appears dwarfed by most individuals in the series.

Before the Timeskip

Similar to most of his male crewmates, Luffy has the same outfit throughout most of the series, as opposed to the rest of the crew (especially Nami and Nico Robin), who change frequently. Luffy may wear a different outfit to suit the climate of an island (like a hooded parka on Drum Island[17] or desert robes in Alabasta[18]), but will switch back to his trademark red vest and blue shorts after the adventures on that island are over. Despite this, he will wear his usual outfit in different colors and has been known to sport other miscellaneous items on his person from time to time.

  • During the Drum Island Arc, he wore two parkas, the first being a dark red parka with fur on the cuffs, hood, and hem,[17] and then a checkered, hooded parka with the colors white, orange and bright yellow, which Nami wore in the beginning.[19]
  • During the Alabasta Arc, he wore desert robes consisting of a dark red robe with three white rings decorated along both of the sleeves and a light blue wrap over his head.[18]
  • During the Skypiea Arc, he wore a black wristband around his left wrist with a white bangle over it.[20]
  • During the Long Ring Long Land Arc, Luffy wore an afro on his head, dark red shorts, and red bandages on his feet, getting an image of a blue flaming skull and crossbones painted on his chest as well, when he was fighting Foxy.[21]
  • During the Enies Lobby Arc, he wore black shorts which had more pockets than his blue shorts (However, Luffy noted that he couldn't fit his meat in them.).[22]
  • During the Thriller Bark Arc, he wore an orange vest and red shorts.[24] After the battle against Moriah in Thriller Bark, Luffy wore a dark decorated, jewelled armband around his left bicep, given to him by Nami.[25] This armband was later revealed to be a map that leads to Captain John's lost treasure, which Buggy sought for some time - leading to Luffy handing the armband in for Buggy in exchange for his services at helping him navigate through Impel Down.[26]
  • During the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, in the manga he wore a blue vest and red shorts (which can be seen on the cover of volume 52). In the anime he wore the same blue vest, but with dark blue shorts.[27]
  • During the Impel Down Arc, Luffy wore his outfit from his stay on Amazon Lily until after his fight with Magellan, at which point he replaced his light blue vest with a bright yellow vest given to him by Inazuma.[29]

No matter where he is, Luffy wears his Straw Hat through absolutely everything, though at the start, the hat was prone to getting knocked off his head easily, forcing Luffy to either put it aside or have someone hold onto it during fights. From the Alabasta Arc onward, he has gotten a string strap for it, which was sewn on by Nami, allowing the hat to hang from his neck during fights.

During his return to Marineford to give a silent prayer, Luffy was briefly shown with four characters written on his right arm spelling 3D2Y,[30] with the 3D crossed out to symbolize that the Straw Hat Pirates should meet up in 2 years (2Y) rather than the 3 days (3D) as planned after fleeing from Bartholomew Kuma.[31]

After the Timeskip

After those two years, a few things have changed. Luffy wears an open, long-sleeved red cardigan with four buttons (which shows the X-shaped scar covering most of his chest he received by then-Admiral Akainu), with a yellow sash tied around his waist, somewhat reminiscent of Gol D. Roger's outfit. He has grown slightly taller, and is shown to be significantly more muscular due to his training. This can be seen in his slightly thicker neck, more pronounced deltoids, and better-defined chest.[32]

  • During the Dressrosa Arc, Luffy wore an open, short-sleeved shirt with a sunflower pattern, along with his standard blue shorts and yellow sash. He also wore a fake beard.[34] Upon entering the tournament for the Mera Mera no Mi in the Corrida Colosseum, he wore viking-style armor, complete with a sword and shield, until it was stripped from him due to violation of the weight restriction.[35] Upon revision to the weight restriction, he added a cape and wore the same viking style helmet he wore previously. Along with his registration number '0556' on the back of his shirt, obscured by his cape.[36] When he recovered after his battle against Doflamingo, Luffy wore a red tank top along with his standard shorts in brown.[37]
