I know that Luffy got his scar on his chest from Akainu from [How did Luffy
get the scar on his
chest?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/32300/how-did-luffy-get-the-
scar-on-his-chest). As mentioned on the linked question, Luffy got his scar
because his chest got burnt by Akainu's magma fist.

In the end, his wound was like a burnt wound, that means his skin was
scorched.

When his burnt wound healed, why is his scar shaped like "X" like it was a
wound of getting sliced by a sword? I thought the skin that was burnt will
leave a scar like a "burnt wound's scar", not a "cut off" scar like that.

Why is Luffy's scar shaped "X"?


I did some research and it turns out that he didn't get the scar from Akainu
at all. The website stated that he would have gotten it from another unknown
creature. Your right in saying that it makes no sense how you can be blasted
with magma and this therefore resulting in an 'X'mark. Also, Oda in the past
has admitted to forgetting to add detail in the past. Plus on top of that
Luffy could have had the 'X' mark covered up by either bandages or his shirt
to hide it before the battle at Marineford. Still for the current moment it is
unknown to how luffy has really gotten the 'X' mark but so far we can safley
assume that is was not from Akainu

Yes, I know that this is a forum but this is the closest to an answer that we
currently have.

Taking the answer Oda gave in [SBS
62](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_62), we can safely assume that
the scar is indeed from Akainu.

If we take a look at some various things, we can come up with a fairly good
estimate as to why the scar takes the shape that it does.

Firstly, Luffy most likely took less damage due to the attack being blocked by
Jinbe. This means there is a chance that there was less burn damage.

Luffy is made of Rubber, rubber melts before it burns, and with Jinbe taking
the a portion of the attack, there is a chance that rather than burn, his skin
would have melted, possibly creating points, rather than a round hole.

From here, we know that he received medical treatment fairly quickly. Once the
internal damage was rectified, the hole would need to be sewn back together.
If we assume that the skin was melted in the way stated above, it's not out of
the realm of possibility for Law to have only had the option of stitching it
back together in this manner, thus leaving a sort of x shaped scar.

This is the best I can figure, based on speculation.
