Monkey D.

Luffy, also known as "Straw Hat Luffy" and commonly as "Straw Hat",[10] is the
founder and captain of the increasingly infamous and powerful Straw Hat Pirates, as well as the
most powerful of its top fighters.[26][27] He desires to find the legendary treasure left behind by the
late Gol D. Roger and thereby become the Pirate King,[28] which would help facilitate an unknown
dream of his that he has told only to Shanks, his brothers and crew.[29][30] He believes that being
the Pirate King means having the most freedom in the world. [31]
Born in Foosha Village, Luffy is the son of Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary
Army,[32] and the grandson of the Marine hero Monkey D. Garp,[33] and their family carries the
initial and Will of D. Luffy met "Red-Haired" Shanks, who gave Luffy the very straw hat that has
become Luffy's signature accessory, having gifted it to the boy as part of a promise for them to
meet again someday after he became a great pirate. [34] Growing up on Dawn Island, Luffy
befriended and became sworn brothers of the late "Fire Fist" Portgas D. Ace[35] and
Revolutionary Chief-of-Staff Sabo,[36] as well as being raised under the care of Curly Dadan.[37]
Luffy has gone up against numerous global powers around him, starting with fighting the most
powerful pirates in the East Blue and moving to clashes against the Marines, Seven Warlords of
the Sea, Cipher Pol, World Nobles, and even the Four Emperors of the Grand Line, emerging
victorious in a majority of these battles. He invaded and indirectly caused the annihilation
of Enies Lobby, escaped the impregnable Impel Down, and was a focal figure in the Summit War
of Marineford. He has also either defeated or befriended seven of the eleven known past or
present Warlords prior to the organization's dissolution. Furthermore, Luffy has invaded the
territory of the Four Emperors on multiple occasions, and eventually managed to defeat one.
Luffy's accomplishments and heritage have caused him to be labeled as a "Dangerous Future
Element" while in the process gaining a reputation for being "reckless" and, in some cases,
"insane," earning the wrath of Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, the Marine Headquarters, and even
the World Government.[38]
Luffy also has a penchant for attracting followers and has unwillingly been named the leader of
the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, consisting of seven pirate crews who swore to come to his aid
whenever he wishes. After learning of this and his exploits against the Big Mom Pirates,
the press labeled him the "Fifth Emperor of the Sea," though many prominent figures initially
considered this to be exaggerated. [39] However, after defeating Kaidou during the Raid on
Onigashima, Luffy was officially declared as one of the Four Emperors by the World Government
along with Buggy, replacing Kaidou and Big Mom.[3]
Luffy has made tremendous strides in his life of piracy, with his bounty heavily reflecting this fact.

He gained his first bounty of  30,000,000 for defeating the strongest pirate captains of the East

Blue, which then increased to  100,000,000 after defeating Crocodile in Arabasta. After his

crew's invasion into and escape from Enies Lobby, his bounty was increased to  300,000,000.
His sizeable bounty upon arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago caused Luffy, along with Zoro to
be included among the eleven "Super Rookies," pirates who simultaneously reached the Red

Line with bounties of over  100,000,000 shortly before the Summit War.[40] He, the other ten
Super Rookies, and Marshall D. Teach would go on to be referred to as the "Worst
Generation."[41]

Two years after the war, with his bounty increased to  400,000,000, he entered the New
World and began challenging the Emperors and their allies directly, with his bounty going up

to  500,000,000 after the Dressrosa Arc, and later all the way to  1,500,000,000 after the
global revelation that he is Sabo's brother and the existence of Straw Hat Grand Fleet becoming
public, as well as the events of the Whole Cake Island Arc. After leading the Raid on Onigashima

and defeating Kaidou, his bounty was increased to  3,000,000,000.

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

Luffy has black shaggy hair, round black eyes, and a slim muscular build. He 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,
[34] who in turn received it from Gol D. Roger.[42] He wears blue shorts 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 and
not afraid of pain.[43] He was severely wounded by Akainu in the Summit War of Marineford,
[44] leaving a large X-shaped scar on his che
