Meaning and background
The story behind Luffy
Luffy is the name of the Straw Hat Pirates’ captain in One Piece. Netflix’s official character guide to its adaptation identifies Monkey D. Luffy, his dream of becoming King of the Pirates, and the extraordinary stretching ability acquired from a Devil Fruit. This supplies a specific adventure and fictional-character association. It does not make the character’s ambitions into a literal name meaning or establish a traditional linguistic etymology.
