Biography

Money D. Luffy (Japanese: モンキー・D・ルフィ, Hepburn: Monkī Dī Rufi, [ɾɯɸiː]) was born in Foosha Village in the East Blue region as the son of Monkey D. Dragon and an unknown woman. As a child, he was left in the care of his grandfather Monkey D. Garp' who made his grandson do many dangerous things in an effort to make him stronger. Among these included throwing him off a deep ravine, leaving him alone in the wild and tying him to a balloon. He was 6 years old when Shanks and his Red Hair Pirates had stationed themselves in the village. In this time, the pirate sniper Yasopp told Luffy about a son his age named Usopp that he had left back home. Nearly a year later, he wanted to join the Red Hair Pirates and even stabbed himself under his left eye to prove he was tough enough to be a pirate. Later on, the pirate crew were at Partys Bar where once again Luffy failed to convince Shanks to take him on as a crew member. Disappointed, he ate a nearby fruit unaware that this was Gomu Gomu no Mi Devil Fruit which led to him becoming a Rubber Human.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Monkey D. Luffy was a male human with black shaggy hair, round black eyes, and a slim muscular build. One of his most prized possessions was his distinctive trademark straw hat. Due to his hat, he came to be known by the name of Straw Hat Luffy (麦わらのルフィ Mugiwara no Rufi?).

Among his most dominant traits and an apparent lack of common sense with his utter fearlessness and unwavering belief in himself.

Since childhood, he longed to be a pirate after seeing Shanks in his hometown. This later developed in a desire to be the King of the Pirates.

Luffy developed close ties to those he considered his friends. In fact, he grew angered if he saw them hurt or injured where he fought to get revenge for them. He was shown to get angry if he saw a person mistreat their friends even if they were his enemies.

Powers and abilities

Originally, Monkey D. Luffy was an ordinary human being with no special powers. As a child, he did say he had powerful punches and was noted for being a good swimmer. He was shown as being more of a brawler and merely used his favorite techniques on the spot sporadically.

Luffy unwittingly ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi (ゴムゴムの実, Gum-Gum Fruit) that was a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that gave his body the property of rubber thus making him one of a Rubber Human (ゴム人間 Gomu Ningen?). This allowed him to stretch any part of his body that snapped back into place as it went back to his centre of gravity. The rubber qualities of his skin meant that he was highly resistant to injuries where punches had a reduced effect on him and even bullets simply bounced off him.

Among the techniques known to him included:

  • Gomu Gomu no Pistol (ゴムゴムの銃ピストル Gomu Gomu no Pisutoru?, literally meaning "Rubber Rubber Pistol/Gun") :
    • Gomu Gomu no Pistol "Shot" (ゴムゴムの銃ピストル「散弾ショット」 or 「散弾ショットガン」 Gomu Gomu no Pisutoru Shotto or Shottogan?, literally meaning "Rubber Rubber Pistol/Gun: 'Buckshot'") :
  • Gomu Gomu no Rocket (ゴムゴムのロケット Gomu Gomu no Roketto?, literally meaning "Rubber Rubber Rocket") :
  • Gomu Gomu no Bazooka (ゴムゴムのバズーカ Gomu Gomu no Bazūka?, literally meaning "Rubber Rubber Bazooka") :
  • Gomu Gomu no Gatling (ゴムゴムの銃乱打ガトリング Gomu Gomu no Gatoringu?, literally meaning "Rubber Rubber Gun Battering") :
  • Gomu Gomu no Bullet (ゴムゴムの銃弾ブレット Gomu Gomu no Buretto?, literally meaning "Rubber Rubber Gun Bullet") :
  • Gomu Gomu no Bow Gun (ゴムゴムのボーガン Gomu Gomu no Bōgan?, literally meaning "Rubber Rubber Bow Gun") :

During his adventures, he came to utilise his Devil Fruit powers in unique ways leading to him using a system of gears that included:

  • Second Gear (ギア2セカンド,Gia Sekando) :
  • Third Gear (ギア3サード,Gia Sādo) :
  • Fourth Gear (ギア4フォース, Gia Fōsu) :

He came to be among a small number of individuals that came to harness the power of Haki (覇気, Haki).

Luffy came to lead a crew of pirates called the Straw Hat Pirates (麦わらの一味, Mugiwara no Ichimi).

Early on, he managed to acquire a ship for his crew with this being named the Going Merry (ゴーイング・メリー号, Gōingu Merī-gō) that had been given to him by Lady Kaya of Syrup Village.
