Monkey D. Luffy is the main protagonist of One Piece and the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. After eating the Gomu Gomu no Mi (Gum-Gum Fruit), his body gained the properties of rubber, allowing him to stretch and bounce with incredible versatility. Inspired by his childhood hero Red-Haired Shanks, Luffy set out on a journey to find the legendary treasure One Piece and become the King of the Pirates.

Luffy's carefree attitude, unwavering determination, and fierce loyalty to his friends define his character. Despite appearing simple-minded at times, he possesses remarkable instincts in battle and an indomitable will that has allowed him to overcome impossible odds. His signature straw hat, given to him by Shanks, symbolizes his dream and the promise he made to return it once he becomes a great pirate. With his infectious personality and ability to turn enemies into allies, Luffy has assembled one of the most formidable pirate crews on the Grand Line.
