Luffy the rubber man

Luffy is a pirate captain and one of the main characters in the animated film One Piece. Although a pirate captain, Luffy is known to be very silly and sometimes careless for the pirate team he leads.

However, Luffy has a pretty awesome power. He got this power after eating the gomu gomu no mi devil fruit which made Luffy flexible and elastic like rubber.

The origin of the gomu gomu no mi devil fruit that Luffy ate

In One Piece episode 878, Luffy's childhood was told who ate the devil fruit gomu gomu no mi. Actually the devil fruit is a devil fruit belonging to Shanks, one of the legendary pirate captains in the Grand Line.

At that time Shanks and his pirate squad were at the bar and little Luffy was also there right next to Shanks at the bartender's table. Luffy, who said he wanted to aspire to become a pirate, was finally made a joke by Shanks and his crew.

Not long after, a group of mountain criminals arrived who wanted to cause trouble and buy up all the sake at the bar. However, all of the sake in the bar had been drunk by Shanks' crew, and only one bottle remained which had been unopened which belonged to Shanks himself.
Shanks who was kind enough to offer the last bottle was even treated rudely by the criminals earlier. The sake bottle was hit until it broke and Shanks fell on the floor along with the spilled sake.

Shanks deliberately didn't put up a fight, and the bandits left. Seeing this incident, the pirate crew laughed cheerfully because the captain had been humiliated by a low-class criminal. Shanks also laughed happily.

But not with Luffy. Luffy was angry that Shanks was treated like that, because according to Luffy a pirate must be brave and not to be humiliated like that. Shanks couldn't help but laugh at Luffy's bravery.
In this angry state, Luffy immediately ate a blue fruit in a box next to him. It turned out that the fruit was Shanks' gomu gomu no mi devil fruit which was placed right next to Luffy.

Luffy who intends to chase the bandits was then restrained by Shanks by holding Luffy's hand. But how shocked Shanks and his crew were, because when Luffy's hand was held by Shanks, Luffy kept walking towards the bar door while his arms extended like rubber.

Realizing this, Shanks immediately told Luffy to immediately vomit the fruit by turning Luffy's position (head down and legs held up). But the whole fruit was swallowed by Luffy and Luffy's legs suddenly stretched like rubber when Shanks held him and his face hit the floor.

Shanks finally explained that what Luffy ate earlier was the gomu gomu no mi devil fruit which can make the eater elastic like rubber and will not be able to swim for the rest of his life. You also need to know that Luffy's straw hat is a gift from Shanks.
By on
