## Background

When Luffy was young, he was left in the care of his grandfather, Monkey D. Garp, who did many dangerous things to make Luffy stronger, like throwing him down a deep ravine, leaving him alone in the wild, and tying him to a balloon. When he was 6 years old, Luffy met Shanks and the Red Hair Pirates and wanted to join their team, and to prove himself he stabbed himself below his left eye, permanently giving him a scar, but allowing Luffy to wind up joining the Red Hair Pirates. Eventually he came across the Gum Gum Fruit and ate it without knowing what it was and Shanks and the other Red Hair Pirates realized then when Shanks grabbed Luffy's arm in an attempt to drag him out of a bar, and the other Pirates soon told Luffy that he would be unable to swim for the rest of his life. One day Luffy was captured by Higuma who the Red Hair Pirates had previously picked a fight with in Partys Bar and Luffy winded up being thrown overboard by Higuma and Luffy was soon attacked by a Sea King known as the Lord of the Coast who attempted to eat Luffy but was saved by Shanks, who lost his arm in the process and left Luffy deeply saddened. Eventually Luffy would leave the Red Hair Pirates with the goal of one day becoming the Pirate King and was given Shank's Straw Hat to wear before he left, and Luffy would soon form his own team of Pirates, The Straw Hat Pirates and would end up making new friends who would stick by Luffy through thick and thin and through many adventures sailing across the sea in search of the One Piece.
