Afro Luffy

Afro Luffy is one of the forms that Monkey D. Luffy uses. So far, he has used this form once in the manga, and twice in the anime.

Form History
During the Davy Back Fight arc, Luffy had to face Foxy the Silver Fox in the final event, Combat. Beforehand, he got to choose what he would wear for the fight. Usopp, who was with him, spotted a big black afro, and had Luffy wear it. Thus, Afro Luffy was born.

Usopp claims that the afro gives Luffy extra power. Indeed, everyone (except for Nami, and possibly Zoro) believed this fact to be true, even Robin (although it is likely that she may have just been playing along). Luffy's appearance also changes, as in the fight, he also wears boxing shorts, boxing gloves, some type of straps on his feet, and has a temporary tattoo of a flaming skull and cross-bones on his chest. Also he also tends to say things such as "Hell yeah!".

Although this form only appears once in the original manga, Afro Luffy returns again in a filler episode. When Foxy tries to get his ship and crew back, he is forced to ask for Luffy's help. When doing so, he hands over the afro he had before, and Luffy uses it to fight.
