Unlike many other pirates, Luffy has a relatively small number of scars on his body, with only two prominent ones: one in the middle of his chest and one above his eye. While the origin of the scar on his chest has been somewhat clarified, the scar above his eye remains a mystery that few people pay attention to. Let's find out the origin of One Piece: Luffy's scar through this article.
One Piece: Luffy's scar was caused by himself
The scar on Luffy's eye was not caused by an enemy, but was actually caused by himself. In the first chapter of the series, to prove to Shanks - the captain of the Red Hair Pirates, that he had enough courage and determination to set sail and become a pirate, Luffy recklessly stabbed himself in the face. This action is a testament to his brave spirit and reckless blood since he was very young.
Unfortunately, such a bold action was not enough to make Shanks accept Luffy into his pirate crew. However, from then on, both Shanks and the readers somewhat realized that Luffy was a boy with a strong will and determination that was difficult to shake.

Luffy's second scar, located on his chest, is a painful reminder of the Battle of Marineford, one of the most haunting arcs in the series. One Piece: Luffy's scar appeared after the Straw Hats were attacked by Akainu, the moment he failed to save Ace, his beloved brother. Akainu's attack penetrated Jinbe's body and left a large scar on Luffy's chest. This is not only a reminder of loss and pain, but also clear evidence of the fact that no matter how strong Luffy is, there are still stronger enemies who can cause him pain.
What does Luffy's scar mean?
One Piece: Luffy's scars appear in different circumstances, but Hobiverse believes that they are all proof of Luffy's unshakable determination. The scar on his eye represents his determination since he was a little boy, willing to do anything to achieve his dream. The scar on his chest is a symbol of his maturity and the pain he has experienced on the path to protecting his loved ones.
These scars also clearly depict Luffy's "fearless" personality, always steadfast on the path he has chosen, no matter how many challenges and difficulties he has to face. These scars have become an indispensable part of Luffy's journey, helping him overcome all difficulties to get closer to his dream of becoming the Pirate King.
So you know One Piece: where Luffy's scar comes from. After understanding the meaning, when we watch the movie, we will also understand more clearly how the author builds the character image, as well as be able to enjoy the movie perfectly. And you, what do you think about these scars?
