He got it during the Whitebeard war when Jinbei was carrying him and Akainu blasted a hole right through Jinbei and hit Luffy. When it happened you could see a big X scar on his chest immediately afterwards.
You couldn't see it later because his chest was always bandaged up/wearing his vest until after the time skip.

I'm aware how he was attacked but the fact remains that we never actually saw that scar on him pre time skip and the x shape leaves room for other possibilities.
That picture does indeed show what looks very similar to an X shaped scar. I think the point you are tiptoeing around is that the particular shape was never shown IN THE MANGA pre time skip.
Actually my reply seemed to be after there was a bit of conversation. I suppose he was bandaged up when he talked to Rayleigh, so it's possible he already had the scar then.

Well, in the anime anyway, he's bandaged up when he first wakes up, and later, when he returns to Marineford and when he's training with Raleigh, his vest is closed, so you can't see his chest anyway.
You can't see it in the manga either, which is why I'm saying there's room for doubt.
I suppose it's possible it came from a training accident like Jiraiya's chest scar.
It seems unlikely though they'd go to the trouble of adding an identical X shaped scar to that scene in the anime if the scar actually came form someplace else.
I'm gonna quote this whole thread when Oda pulls an Oda on you guys with the scar, just you wait.
Luffy's scar is where the treasure is buried!
...the treasure is his heart.
More like his stomach... wait... maybe Luffy ATE One Piece!

Gol.D Roger did say he left it all in One Piece, just not one piece of what.
I think he'll be fine. As long as the treasure is in his heart, it's protected by Sniper Island.
The heart isn't in sniper island, the sniper island is in his heart.
So.. the sniper island IS One Piece?
