Monkey D. Luffy is not the most clever from the area, but the fans love him Always for that reason.

An example particularly bright Luffy trying to prove One point, in the most ridiculously stupid way imaginable, occurs in the very first chapter of One Piece, during the bow introduction of "« Romance Dawn«"Luffy wants to show that he is enough brave to be a pirate, so naturally, he chose to take a knife and to sculpt a face, thus giving itself a scar crescent-shaped under the left eye.
