**DEAD40**[37] - Luffy

[Karl Jak]

Appearance

Luffy has donned a slightly altered outfit specifically for Dante's Abyss. His red cardigan has lost its wavy base, gaining tattered sleeves and an upright collar, draped over by a thin yellow vest. His previously yellow sash is now burgundy and his shorts now black.

Darkrai Possessed Luffy

While under the influence of Darkrai's full possession, Luffy's sclera become wholly blackened with dotted yellow pupils and his skin fades to an ashy gray.

Personality – Luffy's personality is akin to a child's in the sense that he tends to go to extremes. He can either be incredibly greedy, especially in cases of food, or extraordinarily selfless, going so far as to sacrifice himself to avenge or protect his friends. While goofy and reckless, he grows quite serious when anyone is in danger, notably his crew. Luffy also has the tendency to unwittingly poke fun at an opponent's most sensitive trait, giving them a nickname to further emphasize their oddity or defects.

When Darkrai's essence takes over, Luffy acquires sinister traits such as finding pleasure in dolling out pain and provoking the enemy. He will not hesitate to fight dirty and becomes a proverbial sociopath.

Possible Reactions – Luffy decided to participate in hopes of gaining knowledge about his former crew. He is friendly to a fault, but will only ally with those he deems worthy, he's a pirate after all. If you harm him or his allies, he's going to make you hurt. If you intentionally get in his way, he's going to bulldoze through you. If you do something genuine and kind for him, friend for life.

Relationships – None currently participating, but likely to change.

'Combat' Style – Though quite the bruiser, Luffy only fights when he wants to. He rarely attacks first unless he's already aware of the enemy's misdeeds or detrimental plots, and boy is he persistent. Surprisingly, Luffy is a tactical mastermind and can quickly devise a strategy based around the enemy's primary weakness.

While Darkrai is possessing him at any point, he becomes ruthless and will attack on sight, but very strategically as opposed to his typical head-on style.
