![]() It is even stated before Marineford that all Marine Officers must have at least one type of Haki, though it doesn’t matter which one. Haki is widely used by pirates and marines, especially the Prediction Haki and Armoring Haki, though the Conqueror’s Haki is rare. Luffy is a rarity in the world as he can use all three Haki abilities, even combining them with his Devil Fruit powers. In its three forms it allows users to accurately predict the future up to a few seconds, armor themselves against damage and even hurt Devil Fruit users, and knock people out simply by thinking. I’ll start off with Haki, a supernatural aspect of the world similar to the Force in Star Wars. He’s so special it almost borders on cliché. Naruto is the jinchuriki for the Nine-Tailed Fox, the son of the Fourth Hokage, and the Prophesied Child that will bring about peace in the ninja world, or destroy it. ![]() Take for instance, Naruto Uzumaki of Naruto. Luffy not being special is so different from many protagonists in many forms of media, especially that of fantasy and science fiction, that he stands out. I will tackle these in the coming paragraphs so hold your horses. Now, there are many arguments for the case of Luffy being special: Haki, the D carrier, the son of Monkey D. Currently in the series, he holds a 400 million berrie bounty and the World Government still doesn’t even seem that interested in him, even after Impel Down and Marineford. Up until the Enies Lobby arc, Luffy was relatively unknown to the World Government despite having a 100 million berrie bounty on his head. Yes, he is the only person in the world made of rubber, but that’s because he ate a Devil Fruit and he’s come across tons Devil Fruit users. Luffy is unique in that there’s nothing special about him. They are special because they have a power only they possess or a prophecy that has singled them out for greatness. Many stories have a driving force behind their main characters. The series in its anime and manga adaptions is extremely entertaining, and Luffy himself is something so different. Along the way, he recruits powerful crew members, fights even more powerful enemies, and declares war on the World Government. Luffy is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and his ultimate goal is to find the fabled One Piece, the treasure at the end of the Grand Line that will make him the Pirate King. However, Luffy is a very unique protagonist in one specific way: there’s nothing special about him. He’s your typical shonen male protagonist: not that bright, a superb fighter, always hungry. ![]() Luffy, the protagonist for One Piece, is introduced. Now jump twenty years into the future and Monkey D. I left everything I own in One Piece.” These very words started a Great Age of Pirates as people from all across the world set sail for the illusive One Piece. Gold Roger was the King of the Pirates and when the Marines hung him from the gallows the last words he uttered were, “My fortune is yours for the taking.
