Monkey D. Luffy is the main protagonist of the One Piece Anime. He is the son of Monkey D. Dragon, grandson of Marine hero Monkey D. Garp, the brother of "Fire Fist" Portgas D. Ace and Sabo. Luffy is a pirate who dreams of finding the One Piece left by Gol D. Roger and become King of the Pirates. As a child, he ate the Gum-Gum Devil fruit, which gives his body the properties of rubber. He's also the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Personality[]
Luffy has a huge lack of intelligence, despite being the captain of the crew. He is shown to be easily amazed by the simplest things, such as hermit crabs, and is often confused by concepts such as that by digging a hole right next to the other he may be unintentionally filling the other hole. He likes monsters and will ask weird creatures to join his crew, sometimes, even inanimate objects. Luffy has the personality of a child. He can either be greedy, especially in cases of food, who his crew is, and adventure; or extraordinarily selfless, going so far as to virtually sacrifice himself to avenge or protect his friends, crew, and family. His childish mentality helps him figure out the simplest ways to solve problems.
Appearance[]
Luffy has fair skin, black eyes, and short, messy black hair. He has a scar under his left eye, which he earned by stabbing himself under the eye with a knife. He was severely wounded by Akainu in the Battle of Marineford, leaving an X-shaped scar on his chest. He wears several outfits throughout the anime.

Luffy's primary outfit consists of his trademark straw hat (which he recieved from Red-Haired Shanks), a red sleeveless vest with 3 buttons, short, blue trousers with white cuffs, and light brown sandals with black straps. He retains this outfit in Animas Extravaganza and Road to the Omniverse.

Biography[]
Animas Extravaganza[]
Luffy and his crew were sailing through the ocean, when they were suddenly attacked by the marines. They captured Robin, Franky, and Brook, leaving Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, Zoro, Nami, and Sanji remaining. A big wave came and hit the group of six. Luffy, Usopp and Chopper find themselves in a snow-covered town known as South Park. After saving Kenny's life with Chopper's medical skills, Cartman decides to let the trio stay at his house temporarily. During their stay in South Park, the group of 3, along with Cartman and his friends, just simply relaxed in Cartman's room, watching YouTube or playing games, similar to what Alex, Mordecai, and Rigby do at home. Eventually, they meet Willy, who takes the group of 3 head to Milford, where they reunite with Nami, Zoro, and Sanji. They have been spending the holidays with the Connellys before parting ways.
School Daze 4: Road to the Omniverse[]
Luffy and Naruto rescue Ash from a mob of zombies. They then take him to Ben 10,000's time machine. They rescue Alex as well, along with Mordecai, Rigby, Dora, and Diego. They are then taken to the park that Mordecai and Rigby used to work at, and the duo is reunited with their old co-workers. They spend the week hanging out at the park while rescuing some friends along the way. Eventually, they all take down Eon, and part ways.
Heroes United[]
Luffy is taking a nap, only to be woken up by Nami, who tells him that they are approaching a pair of rivaling Islands named Dattco and Wyndham, who make those who pass them choose an Island to stay on temporarily, or be killed on sight. Nami then tells him to see what the crew thinks. Unfortunately, the crew is debating on which Island to stay on, mainly because some islands have activities related to their specialties. Zoro, Usopp, and Brook want to go to Dattco, while Sanji, Chopper, and Franky want to go to Wyndham. Robin is neutral, but doesn't like how the crew is fighting over the matter. They then decide to split up. Just as the crew is appraoching the islands, Luffy has to choose to go to either Dattco or Wyndham. Either way, half of the crew is upset with his decision, while the other half praises him. Just as most of the crew head to their respective islands, Luffy, Nami, and Robin are attacked by Alien Zombies. Nami and Robin escape while Luffy stays on board and fights them off. The islanders shoot the ship down, leaving Luffy to drown. He is then rescued by Frederick Jones, who takes Luffy under his care and trains him to fight the alien zombies. After about a week or two of training, Luffy, along with Ash, Ben, and Naruto head down to the park and take down the Country Club. They then go on adventures together and go on missions to their home-worlds in order to rescue their friends and find the ingredients for Galactium. After succeeding in these tasks, Luffy joins the gang in a final battle with the Akatsuki, and unlike Ben, he stays in Fredford with Tom and co and they spend the summer together. After spending the summer with the Connellys, Luffy, along with the rest of the heroes, departs from Franklin and heads home.
