There's a debate going on how Luffy got the scar on his chest but I recently
seen episode 223 where Zoro and Luffy we're fighting and Zoro gave him that
scar. Then for what reason is there a debate on how he got his scar?

How did Luffy get the scar on his chest?


I think Luffy got the scar during Marineford War. It's on Vol. 59 Chapter 578
and Episode 487.

After his brother Ace died, Jinbe carried him and tried to escape to Akainu.
Jinbe jumps into the sea but finds the water below to be frozen. Akainu
manages to strike Jinbe and harm Luffy at the same time. Jinbe apologizes to
Luffy for letting him get injured.

It can be seen in this image that Luffy's chest is burning after Akainu's
punch past through Jinbe's body.

[One Piece Wiki](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Monkey_D._Luffy) also did
mention how Luffy got the X-Mark after the time skip

It's in episode 223 when all except Luffy and Robin has no memory of becoming
pirates. Zoro gets hypnotised by a memory thief and attacks Luffy. In the
fight, Zoro uses his Katana and make a X mark on Luffy's chest. That is how
Luffy got his scar.

It was well-known that the Red Dog's (Sakazuki/Akainu) Magma Fist hit the
Luffy's chest several times. The most crucial piece of evidence is that in the
Fisherman's Island, Zoro and Luffy said that when the Red Dog was promoted to
Fleet Admiral, Luffy subconsciously grabbed his chest, and it is obvious that
the pain caused by the Red Dog is still very clear. So in summary, the scar on
the chest of Luffy should be left by the Red Dog. Luffy will definitely let
him pay back 100 times in the future, together with Ace's share.
