Monkey D. Luffy captains the Straw Hat Pirates aboard the Thousand Sunny during the *ONE PIECE 3D! Trap Coaster* events. Facing an attack by Marine Captain Trap, Luffy coordinates his crew's defense. When the ship becomes trapped within the Trap Tower, Luffy confronts its mechanisms directly. He uses his rubber abilities, like Gomu Gomu no Pistol, to shatter the spinning blades in the Cutting Hell trap.

The crew navigates a seawater-filled tunnel, weakening Devil Fruit user Luffy. Despite this impairment, he remains engaged. Confronted by dugong-operated cannons in a large chamber, Luffy employs Gomu Gomu no Balloon to deflect cannonballs, shielding the ship and crew, actions contributing to the Trap Tower's destabilization.

Spotting an escape opportunity during the collapse, Luffy uses Gomu Gomu no Gigant Pistol to punch a hole in the wall, enabling the Thousand Sunny's exit and successful evasion of Trap's forces. His interactions show a recurring dynamic: he readily agrees to future challenges like a dugong rematch, prompting immediate correction from navigator Nami. Luffy wears his trademark straw hat and bears a scar under his left eye, consistent with his established appearance.
