Line 3:
* [[Anti-Hero|Anti-Heroes]]: They generally don't care about the politics of the island they visit and won't do much to fight an oppression. That said, if the oppressing institution attacks them or a person they befriended, [[It's Personal|odds are they will take up the fight as payback.]]
* [[Badass Crew]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: The crew as a whole are each people who cherish their friends and loved ones. Even the aloof ones like Zoro or Robin place a great worth on personal bonds. Further, each member has suffered great tragedy in their pasts due to personal bonds (they lost someone, someone hurt someone they cared about, etc.) which makes anyone who acts like a real [[Jerkass]] that abuses the bonds of others or the people they are connected to go to the top of the Crew's shit-list with a bullet.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Even the relatively saner ones have their quirks.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: All of the crew members have a painful past that makes you wanna give them a hug. Robin may have the most painful of the crew, though.
Line 21 ⟶ 22:
{{quote|Voiced by: [[Mayumi Tanaka]] (JP), [[Urara Takano]] (OVA), [[Bella Hudson]] (EN, 4Kids), [[Colleen Clinkenbeard]] (EN, Funi), Diana Perez (Latin American Spanish)}}
Monkey D. Luffy is [[The Captain]] of the [[True Companions|Straw Hat Pirates]]; your average nineteen-year-old [[Shonen]] [[Idiot Hero]], son of {{spoiler|Dragon, a revolutionary slated as "The Worst Criminal In the World"}} and grandson of {{spoiler|Garp, a humongously powerful marine vice-admiral who had cornered the Pirate King himself on several occasions}}. Wants to find One Piece and [[To Be a Master|become the Pirate King]]. Ate the Gum-Gum Fruit (''Gomu Gomu no Mi'') {{Spoiler|really Human-Human Fruit Model: Nika}}at the age of seven, giving him stretching powers that he has become quite a master of. {{spoiler|Also, after training with Silvers Rayleigh, he has mastered the 3 types of ''Haki'' (literally "Ambition").}}
His dream of becoming the Pirate King comes from an incident in his youth involving mountain bandits and a sea serpent 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.
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* [[Bad Liar]]: The only way his lies could be more blatant would be if a neon sign appeared on top of his head every time he lied.
* [[Balloon Belly]]: Comes with being a [[Big Eater]] and his elastic nature. Actually uses it in combat to great effect. {{spoiler|After the [[Time Skip]], he has learned to more accurately return the projectiles upgrading his belly into an [[Attack Reflector]].}}
* [[Berserk Button]]:
** Get between him and his food, and he will be angry. Luffy is a [[Big Eater]] and takes his food [[Serious Business|very seriously]].
** Touch his hat without permission and he will pound you. His idol and the man who inspired him the most, Red Haired Shanks, gave him his hat. Even more so now after he found out it originally belonged to the pirate king Gol D. Roger.
** Don't be flippant about claiming the title of the pirate king. Luffy sees going for the title of pirate king as sacred and anyone who casually mouths of about becoming the pirate king is disrespecting all of the passionate strong men who have tried and failed (His bother Ace being one). On the other hand if you seriously claim you will become the pirate king with true spirit and determination he will instead see you as a [[Worthy Opponent]].
** Hurt one of his [[True Companions|friends]], or for that matter, one of your own, and you are '''dead'''. Luffy declared war on the World Government for one of his crew.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: You ''reeeeally'' don't want to make him angry. Seriously.
** ''[[One Piece Strong World]]'' should have been called ''Luffy Gets Angry: Shit Goes Down''.
Line 68 ⟶ 73:
** He's funny, strong-willed, enthusiastic, ''insanely nice to nearly everybody he meets'', and incredibly righteous. Naturally, [[Truth in Television|he has plenty of real life fangirls]].
*** He's also young, cute, and seriously well-toned. The girls don't go gaga just because of his personality.
* [[The Chosen One]]: As the series progresses, it seems more and more that Luffy is this. He carries the initial D. and it's been stated time and again that everyone who carries that initial will shake the world. More than that, it's heavily implied that he carries the will of Gol D. Roger the previous pirate king who many have stated that he is the spitting image of in terms of attitude and personality. {{Spoiler|It's all but cemented with the revelation that his devil fruit isn't a paramecia type but actually a mythical zoan fruit Human-Human Fruit Model: Nika. The original Joyboy who was a key figure in history also possessed this fruit and managed to awaken it's power becoming the embodiment of the Sun God Nika or The Warrior of Liberation who freed people from tyranny and liberated slaves while putting smiles on the faces of those he met. The Five Elder Stars commented that it hasn't awakened in 800 years since Joyboy possessed until Luffy did so during his fight with Kaido. They also stated that the fruit was conscious and actively evaded the world government's attempts to get hold of it meaning that it chose Luffy as its possessor not the other way around.}}
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: When he tries to be at his sharpest outside of battle, he can only pull this off. Most of the time he's something between [[The Ditz]] and [[The Fool]].
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Luffy is not adverse to hitting below the belt or taking [[Human Shield|Human Shields]] when necessary... or if it's amusing.
Line 126 ⟶ 132:
* [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]]: Child abuse isn't funny... except when it involves [[Refuge in Audacity|throwing the child down a ravine, leaving him in the in the wilderness]], and [[Crosses the Line Twice|attaching enough helium balloons to him to make him float into the sky]], all for the purposes of increasing his survival skills. After hearing about it, his crew immediately realizes just where Luffy got his strong will to live from.
* [[Hollywood Healing]]: His battles only leave story relevant scars, like his trademark one under his eye he got in Chapter 1 or {{spoiler|the new X shaped scar Akainu gave him}}.
* [[Hope Bringer]]: A [[Downplayed Trope]] as Luffy doesn't go out of his way to help people but when he does decide to hero-up he turns out to be damn good at it as in his short career as a pirate he's rescued every member of his crew and gained their [[Undying Loyalty]], freed whole kindoms from war and corrupt rulers, along with fulfilling the hopes of the people he meets along the way in their time of need. {{Spoiler|With the reveal that Luffy's devil fruit is actual the mythical zoan fruit Human-Human Fruit Model: Nika this begins to make a lot of sense. Nika was called the sun god and the one who brought light and happiness to those trapped in slavery. He would fight tyranny and free people were ever he went. Since it was also revealed by the five-elder stars that mythical zoan fruit have a consciousness and influence to world to find their user, it makes sense that the Nika fruit would choose someone like Luffy.}}
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: In fine Shonen fashion. He's a more tranquil version, however.
* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]: As a child who had recently eaten the Gum-Gum Fruit, Luffy was rather unskilled with his stretching powers -- especially when compared to his mastery at the start of his journey. His signature Gum-Gum Pistol? His first attempt bounced off the ground and back into his own face.
Line 193 ⟶ 200:
* [[Super Mode]]: His [[Lightning Bruiser|Gear Second]] and [[Mighty Glacier|Gear Third]] techniques.
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Subverted with Nightmare Luffy. He's a scary, giant, evil-looking [[Incredible Hulk|Hulk-like]] figure, and Nami and Usopp were initially afraid of him, but he's actually still Luffy on the inside. Just REALLY serious. However, that could be something to do with shadows inside him, since Usopp and Nami noticed he behaves differently.
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: Seemingly an [[Averted Trope]] as while his fruit giving him a rubber body certainly makes him durable, most of his strength is from his training and natural fighting skills making his fruit more [[Difficult but Awesome]]. {{Spoiler|The it's [[Played Straight]] when it's revealed that Luffy's devil fruit isn't a paramecia type but a mythical zoan fruit that carries the name of a GOD! The world government was hiding the fact that the true name of Luffy's fruit is Human-Human Fruit Model: Nika. Nika was the liberator of slaves also called the warrior of freedom who brought smiles to all. Once Luffy awakened the power of Nika his abilities went from rubber man to [[Toon Physics]] enabling him to warp and affect his himself, surroundings and OTHER PEOPLE like he was in a looney toons episode.}}
* [[Terrible Artist]]
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: {{spoiler|Lately, after the timeskip, he uses Gear Second attacks for ''everything''. Considering how strong he already is and the fact that he has Haki, his normal Gum Gum attacks should be more than enough to solve his problems, rather than senselessly shorten his lifespan to beat a few minor enemies}}.
Line 198 ⟶ 206:
* [[Third Time's the Charm]]: Against Crocodile, though there is a case to be had in his confrontations with Eneru and Rob Lucci.
* [[Time to Unlock More True Potential]]: By the end of the first half of the series, approx. time around the Sabaody Arc, his skills and power are simply no longer enough to beat anybody or anything stronger than a single Pacifista, (with the support of his entire team at that...) and considering Hancock, his "Love Interest" ([[No Hugging, No Kissing|I use that term lightly]]) could smash dozens of them in one hit, that really, really was quite pathetic. {{spoiler|Thankfully, he got better and after two years of training, he can now also defeat a Pacifista in a single hit (along with a giant KRAKEN, for that matter...)}}
** {{Spoiler|During his fight with Kaido, when it seemed like Luffy DIED, his devil fruit finally awoke. Usually when this happens, it greatly augments the fruits abilities. For a paramecia, it means affecting the surroundings as like Daflamingo creating strings from the environment. For a zoan it means becoming a bigger and stronger version of the animal you transform into. Luffy's fruit is actually a mythical zoan fruit that embodies the sun god Nika. Only Joy Boy 800 years earlier accomplished this. Luffy goes from rubber man to [[Toon Physics]] being able to manipulate himself, the surroundings and other people like they were in a looney toons cartoon. It makes him damn near invulnerable, change sizes and shape at will and mess with physics like running on air. It's even called the most ridiculous power in the world both figuratively and literally but makes Luffy the most unpredictable and versatile fighter in the series.}}
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Meat. Any kind of meat. ({{spoiler|Although he's not as fond of seafood, as revealed by the Fishman Island arc.}}) Eating it even makes him stronger, and if he's not fighting or playing, he's always seen eating meat.
* [[Training from Hell]]: Went through this in childhood. It involved being thrown into jungles at night and tied to balloons, apparently.
Line 239 ⟶ 248:
** Swings into Type II and III territory occasionally.
* [[Badass]]: One of the more prominent examples in the series.
** [[Badass Arm-Fold]]: [[
** [[Badass Baritone]]: He has the deepest voice in the crew, and is undeniably [[Badass]].
** [[Badass Boast]]: From chapter 642:
