One Piece: Luffy’s Straw Hat has another special meaning no one’s noticed
Luffy’s Straw Hat is legendary, but it also holds a special meaning for him that’s just been discovered by a One Piece fan.
InOne Piece, Luffy’s Straw Hat was given to him byRed-Hair Shanks, binding them with a promise that they will only meet again he becomes a great pirate. Years later, it’s a promise Luffy cherishes.
For Luffy, the Straw Hat is a constant reminder of what he has to accomplish. Not only does he want to become the nextPirate King, but there’s an unknown dream that he wants to achieve after reaching Laughtale.

On Twitter/X, one fan revealed: “Not very useful trivia: Luffy always wears his hat when he is performing his duties as a captain.”
They added: “The captain wears a straw hat!”
The Straw Hat has been passed down from Roger to Shanks, and Shanks to Luffy. All three of them are incredible in their own right. While Roger went down in history as the first Pirate King, Shanks became a Yonko a few years back.
Now, Luffy and Shanks share the same title as Emperors of the Sea. Despite all he’s achieved, Luffy is still as goofy and light-hearted as ever. However, there are moments when he has to make choices befitting of a captain. This is when Luffy makes sure that he’s wearing the hat.
One fanadded: “I was impressed by the scene where he puts his hat down in the scene ‘Pirate Straw Hat Luffy is taking a break for a bit,’ but there were several elements that connected the previous and subsequent scenes! It’s amazing!”
