Monkey D. Luffy

Monkey D. Luffy, also known as Mugiwara, Straw Hat Luffy, Lucy and Luffytaro, is the main protagonist from the One Piece series.
== Charactah Account ==
Luffy is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and is best friends with all of them and values them over all else. At first glance, Luffy does not appear to be very intelligent, often seeing things in a childish manner and can easily be amazed by the simplest things. However, because he views the world in a straightforward and simple manner, he is occasionally the only person who can see past the events and see what should be done.
Luffy seems to have an unstoppable appetite, a characteristic that is common to the Japanese archetype of the (at times simple-minded) young male hero/adventurer with a heart of gold; perhaps the hunger more so in Luffy's case due to having an elastic stomach. Luffy is also another one of the several characters given the middle initial "D."
Although Luffy is fairly lightheaded and a funny character, he has an unstoppable sense of determination, optimism, and commitment and will do anything to stand up for his friends and comrades. Along with that, he has great courage to back it up as well as unbelievable strength. Ever since consuming the devil fruit he was shown to be not worried about his inability to swim, much like his brother. Much of these traits are common among D's. His only display of true fear is towards his grandfather, to the point that he is intimidated at the mere mention of him.

== Trivia ==
* Luffy is the first Devil Fruit user to be seen in the series, as well as the first Paramecia-type user.
** At the same time, Luffy is also the first Mythical Zoan-type user to appear in the series, though this was not revealed until chapter 1044.
** He is also first person in the series to be seen eating a Devil Fruit.
* Like many people, Luffy has a distinct laugh (shishishi).
* At age 19, Luffy is the youngest of both the Worst Generation and the Four Emperors.
* Luffy has the lowest bounty among all the Four Emperors, past and present.
* He's the only Emperor to not serve under another Captain, Although he did wanted to join The Red Hair Pirates when he was younger
* He, Sanji, and Usopp all claim to have never been sick, and thus do not know what it feels like.
* Luffy's participant number at the Corrida Colosseum (as Lucy) is 0556. That number can be explained with the first two digits taken from Luffy's birthday, May 5; and the latter two, 5-6, being pronounced go-mu which is related to Luffy's Devil Fruit.
** Luffy's participant number at the Corrida Colosseum also corresponds to the chapter where he first arrived at Marineford to rescue his brother, Portgas D. Ace from his execution.
* Luffy ranks first place in every popularity poll. This also means that he is the only character to have consistent placements.
* Although he is male, Luffy is ironically voiced by a woman in both the English (including the 4Kids and Funi but excluding the Odex variants) and Japanese versions of the anime.
* Luffy is very similar to Son Goku from Dragon Ball, being the main character, being very childish and naive, having messy black hair and eating too much food. His name "Monkey" can be referenced to Goku's Saiyan tail, which resembles monkey tail. These similarities are fitting since Oda was inspired by Dragon Ball while creating One Piece.
* Luffy is also similar to the late Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, as they both have the D. initial in their names, had friendly relations with their respective crews and rivals, can use all three forms of Haki (and can imbue their attacks with Haoshoku Haki), can hear the Voice of All Things and once wore the famous straw hat.
* Luffy's powers are quite similar in nature to that of DC Comics hero Elongated Man, mostly because they were both obtained after the consumption of a special fruit.
* Him, Zoro and Kid are the only known members of the Worst Generation who can use Haoshoku Haki.
* Two of the abilities that Luffy first demonstrated in a non-canon anime filler arc are now part of the official manga canon. The first is the Voice of All Things that was first seen in the Warship Island Arc and was later introduced officially in the Fish-Man Island Arc. The second was Luffy's ability to grow giant which was first seen in the Z's Ambition Arc (with the aid of Lily Enstomach's Devil Fruit abilities), which was later added officially as part of one of Luffy's Gear 5 techniques that was first seen in the Wano Country Arc.
