May 5 is an important date for One Piece fans across the world as it is the day that Monkey D. Luffy was born. He is the protagonist of the series, who has captured the hearts of millions of people who now love this manga. On May 5, 2023, the cast of the One Piece live-action series uploaded a post on Twitter to commemorate Luffy’s birthday.
In the post, Iñaki Godoy, who plays Luffy’s role, gave the fanbase the correct pronunciation of the character’s name. Other cast members also pronounced Luffy’s name correctly, following Godoy’s instructions.
It is highly likely that this piece of information was aimed at the section of people who aren’t really familiar with One Piece. As per the post, the actor had reasons to believe that people pronounced the protagonist’s name as Luh-Fee, which is incorrect. The correct way to pronounce Luffy’s name is Loo-Fee.
Let’s take a look at everything we know about the upcoming One Piece live-action movie.
