The captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy comes from Fuschia Town. He had the highest bounty in East Blue at 30 million Belli after his defeat of Arlong, but the bounty increased to 100 million Belli after he defeated Shichibukai member Sir Crocodile, and again to 300 million Belli (on level with the Shichibukai members) after defeating Rob Lucci of CP9 and declaring war on the World Government.
Luffy is the son of Monkey D. Dragon, brother to Portgas D. Ace, and the grandson of vice-admiral Monkey D. Garp.
Luffy is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and, considering them his best friends, values them over all else. Even though they are all usually annoyed by his immaturity and seeming stupidity, they all respect him for his strength and his qualities as a leader.
At first glance, Luffy does not appear to be very intelligent, as he often sees things in childish manner and can easily be amazed by the simplest things. However, because he views the world in such a straightforward and simple manner, he is frequently the only person who can see what should be done. He likes to poke fun at other's imperfections and character traits, even though he is rather worse himself.
Luffy seems to have an insatiable appetite, a characteristic that is common to the Japanese archetype of the (at times simple-minded) young male hero/adventurer with a heart of gold; perhaps hunger in Luffy's case has to do with having an elastic stomach.
Although Luffy is fairly lighthearted, he has an unstoppable sense of determination, optimism, and courage, and will do anything to stand up for his friends and comrades. Ever since consuming the devil fruit he has not worried about his inability to swim, much like his brother. Many of these traits are common among Ds. The only thing which seems to frighten Luffy is his grandfather; the mere mention of him intimidates Luffy to such an extent that he does not fight back.
Luffy never kills any of the villains, no matter how cold-hearted they may be; instead, he frequently sends them flying, knocks them out, or leaves them beaten into submission (consequently, it is not uncommon for Luffy's former opponents to come after him for revenge, such as Buggy the Clown and Alvida). Oda explains that it is not a question of morality so much as a matter of punishing the villains for their crimes - he feels that killing the villains lets them off too lightly, whereas allowing them to live and see their dreams ruined is a far more fitting punishment.[4]
Luffy's dream is to find the One Piece and become Pirate King. He knows that to achieve his goal, he will have to defeat many strong opponents, including the World Government and his childhood hero Shanks.

Luffy's past was fairly interesting and was shown in the fourth chapter when the series first started. I have the Japanese version, so the names are kinda different(Luffy is actually Roof and Shanks is actually Jack). When he was little, Shank's pirate crew came to his town and visited for quite a while. They went to a bar all the time and drank wine and beer. Then one day, bush rangers came and demanded ten bottles of wine. When Jack was kind enough to offer the bush ranger leader his last one, the bush ranger just smashed it and it broke, making the floor wet(which Shanks cared about a lot). The bush rangers left, and then they started laughing. Luffy asked why they should laugh at such a serious thing. Furious, Luffy ignored Shanks and began to eat a fruit he saw from a small treasure chest canister. It was actually the rubber fruit from the Gum Gum Tree. Then the bush ranger set up a bomb and took Luffy away from Shank and pirates. After you eat the Gum Gum fruit, you can't swim. So the bush ranger threw Luffy into the sea and a dragon was about to eat him. Shanks saved him just in time but lost his arm for doing so. When Shanks left town, Luffy said he was determined to become the pirate king. Shanks gave him his precious straw hat to Luffy and told him to keep it well. When they met again- when Luffy was a great pirate, he made a promise to give it back. From then on, Luffy has been learning all the possible techniques of the rubber fruit, and then sets off to find some partners for a pirate crew.
