'''Monkey D. Luffy''',{{qref|name=first of all}} also known as '''"Straw Hat Luffy"''' and 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.}}).
 
 
==Appearance==
 
{{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.}}
 
 
*During the [[Amazon Lily Arc]], Luffy wore a light blue vest with red shorts.{{Qref|chap=516|ep=410|page=3|Luffy has [[Marguerite]] remove the frills from the clothes that she prepared for him.}}
 
 
*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]].{{Qref|chap=539|ep=441|page=8|Inazuma provides Luffy with a new vest alongside his shorts and straw hat.}}
 
 
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 <strike>3D</strike>2Y,{{Qref|chap=594|ep=511|page=10|Luffy's picture in the newspaper shows him with <s>3D</s>2Y written on his right arm.}} 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]].{{Qref|chap=511|ep=403|page=10|Luffy tells his crew to meet up at the Thousand Sunny in 3 days.}}
 
 
===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]] [[Sakazuki|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.{{qref|chap=601|ep=521|page=12|Luffy's post-timeskip outfit is displayed in full.}}
 
 
*During the [[Punk Hazard Arc]], Luffy wore a long winter coat with red and white horizontal strips, along with yellow ear muffs, which he stole from one of [[Brownbeard]]'s [[Centaur Patrol Unit]].{{Qref|chap=662|ep=587|page=10|Luffy is seen in his new, stolen outfit on Punk Hazard.}}
 
 
*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.{{Qref|chap=701|ep=630|page=13|Luffy's outfit in Dressrosa prior to entering the tournament is seen.}} 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.{{Qref|chap=704|ep=633|page=9|Luffy dons a viking-style set of armor for the upcoming tournament.}} 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.{{Qref|chap=704|ep=634|page=12-14|Luffy wears a cape over his registration number after removing his armor.}} When he recovered after his battle against Doflamingo, Luffy wore a red tank top along with his standard shorts in brown.{{qref|chap=796|page=11}}
