#and gained partial immortality from the gum gum fruit (which he ate thinking it was a peach of immortality)

Sun wukong inspired Luffy redesign

After learning that he was inspired off the monkey king himself I've been kinda obsessed with this idea, they already have alot of visual similarities but I wanted to try a more directly inspired look

(post-timeskip ver + extra under cut)

I think I like the post-timeskip version more since the cardigan(?) Around his shoulders kinda resembles the OG!swk's cape.

I also really like the idea of Luffy's "pirate king crown" being similar to wukongs since the shape language is very similar to that of gear5.

#while i dont think i will make this into an actual au since my swk/jttw lore knowledge includes all of 2 seasons of lego monkie kid and #one chapter of jttw itself #i do think that he legit just hatched out of a rock #and gained partial immortality from the gum gum fruit (which he ate thinking it was a peach of immortality) #i didnt give him any actual monkey-like features but i may do that in the future idk #1pc #one piece #monkey d. luffy #monkey d luffy #luffy #one piece luffy #strawhat luffy #fanart #au #trans headcanon #trans luffy #(yea i also made him a no-op trans dude cause why not XP) #partial nudity #nudity #ask to tag for that ig idk #also does anyone else thing gear 5 was kind inspired off swk's character design? like in terms of shape language maybe? #my mind keeps going to cloud somersault but idk i could just be reaching #psii.png
