![]() There are also other related weaknesses, but those are another story.Īfter reprimanding Luffy and explaining about his new handicap, Shanks and his men headed back out to sea. There is one catch though, whoever eats a Devil’s Fruit will be almost completey unable to move or use any of their special powers by their own will when completely submerged in any standing body of water no matter what its origin (sea, lake, pool etc.) and thereby drown. Luffy so happened to have devoured the Gomu Gomu Fruit turning him into a rubber human capable of stretching to great lengths. Shanks grabbed Luffy's arm, only to watch it stretch across the room as Luffy tramped through the bar.įate played an important role that day for Luffy, as the fruit he had just eaten a few minutes ago was a Devil’s Fruit, a mysterious fruit of unknown origins that grants whomever consumes it unique powers. Luffy refused to accept the words from his hero and stormed away in a fury. The captain understood Luffy’s anger but told him not to worry so much about a little spilt beer and wine. But Luffy wasn’t laughing, instead he began screaming at Shanks for not standing up for himself. Almost instantly after the thief and his thugs took their leave, the pirates burst into laughter. With that, Higuma called the pirates, "A crew of cowards!", and left. Higuma swept the countertop clean, sending a barrage of bottles and glasses smashing to the floor on top of Shanks. Shanks ignored the bandit’s grim boast of having killed 56 men and instead of fighting back, got on his knees and began cleaning the broken glass from the floor. Shanks happily offered his unopened bottle to Higuma, but the bandit broke the bottle with his fist while it was still grasped in Shanks’ hand. The barkeep Makino politely told him that there was no more since the pirates had just bought the last of it. He arrogantly promised, ".not to hurt anyone.", saying he just wanted to buy some wine. Moments later a mountain bandit, Higuma, crashed Shanks’ party. In his anger, Luffy devoured a strange fruit lying in an open box on the bar counter top. Even when he said that one day his punch would be as strong as a shot fired from a pistol, the crew just laughed. Just to have some fun they teased him and treated Luffy like the child he was which frustrated him to no end. The same day he stabbed himself, Shanks’ men took Luffy drinking with them in a local bar. The wound would leave a scar he would carry for the rest of his life, but not in the creepy emo way, the Jaws kind of way. Standing atop Shanks’ ship, Luffy drove a dagger into his left cheek to show his manliness. After Shanks had spent a year docked in town, at age 7 Luffy was determined to prove his worth as a pirate in order to join Shanks’ crew. Shanks is a pirate of remarkable, but mysterious, status who was taking time off in East Blue at a small community called Fusha Village on Dawn Island. Second only to this dream is Luffy’s goal to reunite with his childhood idol, Red-Haired Shanks. Exactly what instilled such passion and determination in a child towards such a seemingly impossible dream is unclear but some might say that his desire to track down the One Piece and become the next Pirate King might just be destiny. ![]() Born with the mysterious 'D' namesake, Luffy grew up with a insatiable desire to travel far and wide to the ends of the treacherous stretch of sea known as The Grand Line in order to obtain One Piece, the greatest treasure of Gold Roger, the only pirate known to have traveled to the ends of the earth and back, the man the world called, The Pirate King.
