ONE PIECE characters ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Monkey D. Luffy

At the beginning of the series, he accidentally eats a devil fruit, causing his body to gain the properties of highly stretchable rubber. These properties are a result of Oda's desire for the fighting style to be silly, so that no matter how tense a situation gets, the reader can relax without becoming stressed out. After his life is saved by Shanks when he is seven years old, Luffy decides to achieve the tantamount goals of finding the series' titular treasure and succeeding Gold Roger as King of the Pirates.ch.1 Ten years later, wearing Shanks' straw hat, he sets out to sea to gather a crew and sail the Grand Line, where the One Piece is supposedly hidden.

To fulfill a promise he made to a childhood friend named Kuina, he wants to become the world's greatest swordsman by defeating Mihawk. Before joining Luffy, he made a living by bounty hunting. He joins Luffy's crew in exchange for his aid in escaping execution. He makes it clear that he would turn on his captain if he ever stepped between him and his dream, but unknown to Luffy, Zoro thinks that if he cannot protect Luffy's dream, his own would have no meaning and is even willing to die for it. His physical strength is enough to lift a building. During a fight with Baroque Works agent Daz Bones, he learns how to cut through solid steel. He can employ an "Asura" technique which gives him three faces and six arms, thus totaling nine swords. In addition, Zoro can expand the muscle mass of his arms. He is extremely poor at understanding geographical directions and gets lost very easily. He also sleeps a great deal and loves to drink.
