Summary
Some of the most iconic part of Luffy ’s character reference design inOne Pieceare the scars that he bears , one on his typeface and one on his chest . Upon seeing a flick of him , many fans may wonder how he got those cicatrice and what they say about him . Luckily , One Piecedirectly addresses these questions in its story .
Luffy is a very energetic and impelled protagonist , leading him to often go against societal norms and do his own thing . This has led to him even overthrowing the ruler of some of the islands that he and his bunch have visited .
This level of intensity and devotion could have been off - putting in another protagonist , but Luffy makes it crop , even when it induce him to jump headlong into unsafe situations . This kind of mental attitude is precisely what lead to Luffy catch both of his mark , albeit for very dissimilar reasons .
Luffy Got His First Scar For Shanks & His Second For Ace
Luffy acquired his first scar in the opening chapter of the series . In an attempt to convert shank how tough he was , Luffy stabbed himself in the face . This act may not have convince Shanks to let him conjoin his crew , but it did leave Luffy with an iconic cicatrice . His second cicatrice has a more tragic origin , asLuffy ’s thorax scar come from being burned by Akainu while Luffy was leave catatonic after Ace ’s death . This makes his 2d scar a admonisher of his greatest calamity andOne Piece ’s biggest death . It also is a reminder that no matter how powerful Luffy is , there may be others who are even more sinewy .
One Piece reveals a surprising devil fruit is perhaps much strong than even Luffy ’s and can even copy his strong transformation in the serial publication .
Both of these scar show Luffy ’s steadfast and sometimes reckless determination . If he had n’t rush in to save Ace against such overwhelming odds , he would never have received his burn wound . also , if he had n’t decide to try and gain Shanks over with such a ludicrous action , he never would have stabbed his typeface . However , scars are a reminder of past misunderstanding that hopefully make their bearer a snatch wiser . While Luffy still rushes rashly into risk at a moment ’s notice , after his tragical departure at Marineford , he takes the time to get strong enough to support his action at law , hopefully forestall him from being scarred by more failures in the futurity .
One Piece ’s writer Eiichiro Oda is a master key at imbuing character pattern choices with swell meaning . Luffy ’s scars are no elision to this , even if buff may not realise it on first seeing the role . It will be fascinating to see how Luffy ’s design continues to change over timeand if he will gain even more scars as he faces his toughest battles yet inOne Piece ’s already improbably severe concluding saga .
