Hands locked together in that signature finger-lace pose, waves crashing behind him, the whole scene reads like the opening shot of a new arc. Banpresto’s THE 出航 (Setting Sail) release captures Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece at a genuine turning-point moment rather than mid-fight.

His scarred cheek, wide grin, and post-timeskip look, open red shirt, purple sash, that long dark coat draped over his shoulders, all come through with sharp, confident sculpting. What really sells the piece is the ocean backdrop built right into the box art and base styling, tying the figure directly to its “setting sail” concept instead of leaving him standing on a generic platform.

This release leans on atmosphere over action, which makes it a nice change of pace from the usual fight-pose Luffy figures already crowding most collections. A strong pick for anyone who wants their Straw Hat captain looking forward instead of mid-swing.
