Monkey D. Luffy (Netflix)

==Summary==
Monkey D. Luffy, known as "Straw Hat Luffy", is the main protagonist of the manga, anime, and now live action television series, One Piece. He's the grandson of Monkey D. Garp, a powerful Marine Vice-Admiral who had cornered the late Pirate King himself. He has eaten the Gum Gum Fruit, which gives him stretching powers that he has become quite a master of and he's quite creative with them as he has developed two unique techniques with them.
His dream of becoming the Pirate King comes from an incident in his youth involving mountain bandits and a seaking that resulted in his idol Shanks losing his left arm. Before leaving Luffy's village the very next day, Shanks gave him his straw hat, telling him to give it back when he's become a great pirate.

*Gum Gum Pistol: Luffy's signature attack; he stretches his arm back then throws a devastating punch. In other words, it is a standard straight punch, augmented with stretching. This attack can be used from short to long range.
*Gum Gum Gatling: Luffy uses his stretching ability to bring his fists forward repeatedly in a blurry, rapid barrage of strong punches that creates the illusion of him having multiple arms.
*Gum Gum Bazooka: Luffy stretches both his arms far back, and then hurls them forward, striking his opponent with both instantaneously with a double open palm strike with both hands, that frequently sends the recipient(s) flying off the other direction.
*Gum Gum Battle-Axe: Luffy stretches one leg high into the air, then brings it crashing down via a high-gravity stomp on an opponent or structure, for massive damage, strong enough to destroy large buildings and ships in a single hit.
*Gum Gum Whip: Luffy stretches his leg and kicks in a wide circle, striking multiple foes.
*Gum Gum Bell: While latched onto an enemy, Luffy stretches his neck backwards, then snaps it back for a devastating head butt to the opponent's face.
*Gum Gum Rocket: Luffy's main method of traveling long distances fast. He stretches out one of his arms or both and grabs a handhold, then retracts them, projecting himself high into the air at high speeds, over great distances, or even into an opponent.
*Gum Gum Balloon: A defensive technique wherein Luffy inflates himself rapidly through his mouth, further increasing his resistance to blunt attacks. With his inflated body, Luffy is capable of deflecting projectile attacks back at his attackers.
