As a young boy, Luffy held a lofty dream of becoming the King of the Pirates, inspired by the tales of daring and adventure he grew up with. However, his fate took an unexpected turn when he consumed the magical Gum-Gum Fruit, bestowing him with extraordinary elasticity, allowing him to stretch his body like rubber. Despite this incredible power, the fruit left him with a critical weakness: he can no longer swim, a crucial skill for any sailor.
