how old is luffy at the beginning of one piece
Monkey D. Luffy Luffy first appears as a young boy in Windmill Village, who befriends the pirate "Red-Haired" Shanks and intends to become one himself. Before the series begins, he accidentally eats the Gum-Gum fruit and acquires rubber powers. Luffy is later saved by Shanks from being devoured by a Sea King, a large sea beast, and Shanks loses an arm. Ten years later, Luffy leaves the village in search of the One Piece treasure and to become King of the Pirates. He meets swordsman Roronoa Zoro, ocean navigator and thief Nami, cowardly marksman and liar Usopp, and chivalrous chef Sanji, and invites them to join his crew. Luffy also encounters and defeats the East Blue pirate Buggy the Clown and the fishman Arlong, becoming known to the general populace and the pirate-hating Marines. He later accepts an offer to return Princess Nefertari Vivi of Alabasta to her homeland to stop a rebellion incited by Seven Warlords of the Sea member and Baroque Works crime-syndicate leader Sir Crocodile. After he defeats Crocodile, Luffy accepts Crocodile subordinate Nico Robin as his ally. On Drum Island he finds reindeer doctor Tony Tony Chopper, who also joins his crew.
