Live-Action One Piece Star Teaches Us How to Pronounce Luffy
It’s Luffy’s birthday today, hurray!
Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece has been kicking it since the manga debuted way back in 1997, giving fans plenty of opportunities to pronounce its many characters’ names in any number of weird ways. If we didn’t have decades of anime to go off of, who knows how we’d be pronouncing Luffy at this point, and thankfully the star of Netflix’s upcoming live-action One Piece series is here to set the record straight once and for all.

Is it pronounced like stuffy? Or like poofy? Why not let Monkey D. Luffy’s live-action actor, Iñaki Godoy, explain it to us and the rest of the show’s main cast members?
It’s a big day for the Straw Hat crew, because it’s Monkey D. Luffy’s birthday!
And what better way to celebrate than by teaching everyone how to say our captain’s name like a pro! pic.twitter.com/b9AqSTVkLy
