In Netflix’s One Piece: Live-Action (2023), the legendary Marine Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp employs an unorthodox method to test his grandson: launching a cannonball at him with his bare hands. Instead of dodging, the young pirate Luffy embraces his own unique heritage. He takes a deep breath, inflating his rubber body like a massive balloon. The projectile strikes him squarely in the stomach but fails to penetrate. With a resounding thump, the cannonball harmlessly ricochets back, its force harmlessly absorbed by his elastic form. This act of defensive mastery serves as Luffy’s own bold declaration: he will not be cowed by the authority of his grandfather or the Marines. He will chart his own path to becoming Pirate King, using his inherited will and devil fruit powers in ways no one can predict.
