History
Monkey D. Luffy is the main protagonist of the anime and manga series One Piece, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, and a man who dreams of becoming the King of the Pirates. He possesses the Gum-Gum Fruit (a Parinda-type Devil Fruit) that grants him rubber-like properties, and later reveals the Haki abilities and the awakened form of his power known as Gear 5. His journey begins in the East Blue Sea, and he is central to the global conflict involving the World Government, the Pirates, and the ancient mystery of the One Piece treasure[1][4].

Collector notes
Condition. As a Common card from a mass-produced starter deck, common flaws include edge wear, corner dings, surface scratches, and centering issues. Since it was included in a sealed deck with 51 cards, check for any potential damage from the packaging or the play sheet. Look for print lines or color shifts typical of lower-rarity cards[1].
Storage. Store in a rigid card sleeve (penny sleeve) and place inside a deck box or a non-airtight binder page. For long-term preservation, consider a static-free, UV-protected storage case. Avoid direct sunlight and humidity to prevent discoloration or warping[1].
Authenticity. Fakes are rare for this common card due to its low value, but check for inconsistent printing quality, missing holographic text (if any), or incorrect font usage. The official card will have the 'ONE PIECE' logo and the correct card number (ST01-014). Compare with known authentic copies from the official set list[1].
