The Monkey.D.Luffy L ST21-001 card is a Leader card from the One Piece Card Game set Starter Deck EX: Gear 5 (ST21), released in Japan on December 21, 2024, and in English on March 14, 2025. Illustrated by Hokuyuu, this Leader card features Luffy in his Gear 5 form and is a Super Rare (SR) foil variant. 

In gameplay, this 5-Life, 5000-power Red Leader with "The Four Emperors" and "Straw Hat Crew" subtypes serves as the engine for aggressive Red decks. Its primary ability allows the player to spend one DON!! card during the main phase to give up to two of their rested DON!! cards to one of their Characters, once per turn. This mechanic enables rapid resource acceleration, allowing players to power up key attackers like Monkey.D.Luffy SR ST21-014 for immediate and overwhelming offensive pressure, making it a staple in competitive Red aggro strategies.

Collectors value the ST21-001 Leader for its central role in the Gear 5 starter deck and its status as a highly sought-after alternate art printing. The card's "Strike" attribute and synergy with the Gear 5-themed deck make it a versatile and powerful centerpiece for both new players and competitive builders. Whether utilized as the core of a high-speed aggro deck or preserved as a showcase of the starter deck's premium artwork, this raw card represents a significant asset in the current meta.
