Trafalgar Law

Affiliations

Captain of the Heart Pirates, Allied with the Strawhat Pirates, Unwilling Friend of Strawhat Luffy

Personality

Law does not smile, displaying a more cautious, observing expression on his face. In fact, he tends to only smirk when feeling pleased that a plan went as intended or while attempting to provoke an enemy. That being said, Law has a bolder attitude when faced against other infamous pirates, especially his peers from the Worst Generation. Reflecting this boldness, Law self-admittedly hates being ordered around; however, he is reasonable enough to understand when his immediate crew and are in a pinch, not being above resorting to brief alliances with rivals if it meant survival. Surprisingly, belying his usual cool attitude, Law can be quite prideful and even childishly competitive, particularly when next to Luffy and Kid. Law remains incredibly hardened by his tragic past in his adulthood, leading to several rumors that present him as a cold and heartless man. Many of Law's callous moments tend to come from pragmatism and not wanting to deal with burdens and distractions that may difficult his goals. Law is very blunt when responding to people and usually does not bother himself with excuses or apologies for his words and actions. Despite Law's terse and rather unkind demeanor towards others, he still retains strong compassion and kindness, albeit reluctantly. Law, however, dislikes showing this side of him to others since the very idea of pirates being nice to civilians disgusts him.

Appearence

Trafalgar Law is a relatively tall slim man. As for his facial features, he has faint dark circles under his yellow eyes, usually having a frown on his face. He has black hair, which is mostly dark, sideburns, a small goatee, and a forward-facing fur hat that Law wears, which is white and has black dots around it. He is seen wearing a black shirt with long sleeves and a yellow hood with the mark of his Jolly Roger band on the chest and raised sleeves. Law also wears jeans with strange markings on both the knees and ankle areas, similar to those on his hat but in a darker color, and a pair of dark, pointed shoes. He also wears a pair of small earrings in each ear. He has many tribal-style tattoos on his arms; on both of his hands are the letters D, E, A, T, and H tattooed in black behind each of his fingers. Originally in the manga, his left thumb was not tattooed, with the letter A missing. Later, all of his fingers were tattooed with all five letters. He also has a black cross behind both of his hands. On his chest, he has a tattoo of a tribal-style heart with his Jolly Roger inside. He has a simpler heart tattoo on his shoulders and his Jolly Roger tattoo on his back. He is 6'3, 26 years old.

Abilities

Law ate the Ope Ope no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to create a spherical space. It can easily be considered one of the most powerful Devil Fruits, as Law with his powers can practically control everything within the spherical space called Room and even teleport by changing places with an object of any size. He has also shown to be able to apply his ability to medical purposes, as seen when he cured the giant children of their addiction brought on by Caesar's drugs.Law seems to have mastered his power to such an extent, that he could even slice Vergo, a person capable of fully imbuing his body with an advanced stage of Busoshoku Haki, the Busoshoku Kok, in half. Law was not only able to cut Vergo, he was able to cut a large mountain in the same cut that he cut Vergo.The technique's weakness seems to be the concentration required to use it; Law must gesture with his hands to center the effects on his victims, which can allow an opening for a fast enough opponent such as Doflamingo. His abilities also deplete his strength the more he uses them. Furthermore, given Law's strategic nature, he seems to have a strong tendency to preserve every bit of his stamina in preparation before facing powerful opponents such as Doflamingo.

Backstory

He is a member of the "Worst Generation". He became one of the Warlords of the Sea, but his position was revoked for siding with the Straw Hat Pirates and taking down Donquixote Doflamingo, and after defeating him , go to Wano together with the Straw Hats to defeat Kaido. Law, like many other pirates, dreams of finding One Piece.While still a young boy attending a doctor's academy in Flevance, Law was a very kind and devoted child, refusing to leave his family behind despite falsely promised evacuations at hand, and aspiring to become a great doctor like his father while happily going to festivals with his beloved little sister. Upon the destruction of his homeland, the annihilation of his classmates and family, and diagnosed with no more than thirty-eight months to live, Law suffered a mental breakdown and, according to Doflamingo, came to be known for being very cruel and nihilistic, intending to join the Donquixote Pirates so he could "destroy everything around him".Only after having been cured of his illness by Corazon did Law have a change of heart. Present Law prefers to be patient and only act when the time is right, choosing to stay out of unnecessary conflict and wait for a valuable opportunity to further his goals, like his deliberate choice to not rush his entrance into the New World and subsequent promotion into the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Law joins forces with the Straw Hat Pirates for a brief moment during the Sabaody Archipelago Arc and later on saves Luffy's life at the very end of the Marineford Arc. He is one of the central allies of the Straw Hat Pirates during the Dressrosa, Whole Cake Island, and Wano Country Sagas.Law ended up on the neighboring Swallow Island, where he saw two boys named Shachi and Penguin bully a young mink named Bepo. Shachi and Penguin picked a fight against Law, but he beat them up. Shachi, Penguin, and Bepo became interested in Law, causing them to join him, thus forming the Heart Pirates.
