    Monkey D.

    Luffy is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, and dreamt of being a pirate since childhood
    from the influence of his idol and mentor Red-Haired Shanks. At the age of 17, Luffy sets sail from
    the East Blue Sea to the Grand Line in search of the legendary treasure, One Piece, to succeed Gol
    D. Roger as "King of the Pirates".
    He fights multiple antagonists, and aids and befriends the inhabitants of several islands on his
    journey. Usually cheerful, he becomes serious and even aggressive when he fights. Luffy uses his
    rubber body to concentrate his power, executing a range of attacks. In his signature attack, the
    Gum-Gum Pistol, he slingshots punches at opponents from a distance. Luffy also grows stronger
    over the course of the story by transforming his body through different "Gears;" this is reflected in his
    bounty, which is used to measure the threat he poses to the World Government. He is the grandson
    of Monkey D. Garp, who is a vice-admiral of the Navy; the son of Monkey D. Dragon, who is the
    leader of the Revolutionary Army;[10] and sworn brother of Portgas D. Ace and Sabo.[11]

    When Eiichiro Oda created Luffy, he strove for a "manliness" similar to that of Akira
    Toriyama's Dragon Ball series.[12] Oda said that he named his main character "Luffy" because he felt
    that the name suited him. When he later learned about the sailing term, "luffing", he was delighted by
    the coincidence.[13] In his prototype one-shot, "Romance Dawn", Oda refined the artistic style and
    story elements before publishing the final product a year later as the first chapter of One Piece. In
    the second version of "Romance Dawn", Luffy resembled his design at the beginning of the series.
    [14]
    After the one-shot of One Piece was made, Oda contacted his former mentor, Nobuhiro Watsuki,
    whom he assisted in making the manga Rurouni Kenshin. Watsuki was pleased with Luffy's
    characterization and advised Oda to briefly change him for the main series to make it look like Luffy
    is always acting on his own free will.[15] To please his readers, Oda added rubberization to Luffy for
    comic effect[13] and tries to make the character straightforward.[16] In retrospect, Watsuki felt
    characters like Luffy reflect a trend of heroes who do not kill their enemies similar to his
    character Himura Kenshin.[17]
