One Piece's Monkey D. Luffy is the protagonist of the bestselling manga ever and the star of a television series, nine feature films and 27 video games, plus light novels, art books and -- well, the list goes on.

Is there anything he can't do? Apparently not, as this week Luffy adds fashion model to his resume.

Anime Vice reports that he'll appear on the cover of the new issue of Shueisha’s Men’s Non-No fashion magazine, illustrated by One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda. It's the first time the 24-year-old publication has showcased a manga/anime character and the first time Oda has illustrated a cover for a non-manga magazine.

Other members of the Straw Hat Pirates, as portrayed by real models, will be featured inside.

Since One Piece debuted in 1997, the 55 volumes (and counting) of the comedy-adventure have sold a combined 176 million copies -- 14.7 million this year alone. For a little perspective on that 2009 figure, I'll turn you over to blogger David Brothers.
