For the chapter of the same name with his epithet, see Chapter 660. Trafalgar D. Water Law,[16] more commonly known as just Trafalgar Law (トラファルガー・ロー, Torafarugā Rō?) and by his epithet as the "Surgeon of Death", is a pirate from the North Blue and the captain and doctor of the Heart Pirates.[1][6] He is one of twelve pirates who are referred to as the "Worst Generation".[1][17] He became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea during the timeskip,[2] but his position was revoked for allying with the Straw Hat Pirates.[13] Law, like many other pirates, dreams of finding the One Piece, while also desiring to know the purpose of the Will of D.[18][19]

Law is the only known survivor of Flevance, a town whose inhabitants suffered from a condition known as Amber Lead Syndrome. Because the disease was fatal and poorly understood, Flevance was destroyed by neighboring countries out of fear (including Law's parents and younger sister), with a young Law barely escaping alive.[7] He subsequently joined the Donquixote Pirates, where Donquixote Doflamingo intended to make Law one of his executive officers.[20] However, thanks to the efforts of Doflamingo's brother, Rosinante, Law was freed from the Donquixote Pirates' influence and became a pirate set to bring down Doflamingo's empire.

During the timeskip, his bounty increased from Beli 200,000,000[1] to Beli 440,000,000[2] before it was frozen due to his induction into the Seven Warlords of the Sea. However, after having his title revoked during the events of the Dressrosa Arc, Law's bounty was reinstated and raised to Beli 500,000,000.[13] Eventually, his bounty would be raised to Beli 3,000,000,000 for his role in taking down Big Mom of the Four Emperors alongside Eustass Kid during the Wano Country Arc.[12]

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. He also acts as an ally of the Straw Hat Pirates during the movies One Piece: Stampede and One Piece Film: Red.

Advertisement Appearance Law is a slim young man with tan skin and a very tall statue. He has faint shadows right under his yellow eyes (grey in the anime), and his face is usually seen with a smirk. He wears a northern-style fur hat, which is white and has a spotted pattern along the bottom and the bill. He has very short dark hair, a majority of which is obscured by his hat, save for his sideburns and a small goatee.[1] His hair color is depicted as black in both the anime and manga, though sometimes the manga depicts it as blue mistakenly.

He has many tribal-style tattoos on his arms; on both of his hands are letters spelled as D E A T H tattooed in black on each of the back of his fingers. Originally in the manga, his right hand was not tattooed[21] while his left thumb had the letter A missing.[1] Later on, all of his fingers were tattooed completely with all five letters.[22] He also has a black cross on the back of both of his hands.[1] On his chest, he has a tribal-style heart tattoo with his Jolly Roger on it. He has a simpler heart tattoo on his shoulders and his Jolly Roger tattooed on his back.[23]

Before the Timeskip He is seen wearing a yellow hoodie, with black sleeves and black hood. The hoodie has his Jolly Roger printed on the front of the chest area in dark ink, and he keeps the sleeves rolled up. Law wears a northern-style fur hat that has a rim running all around it. It is white in color and has a black dot pattern along the rim and lower areas of the hat. Law also sports a pair of jeans with odd dots on both the knee and ankle areas, similar to the ones on his hat, but darker in color. He sports a pair of dark, pointed shoes. He has a pair of small earrings on each ear.[1]

In SBS Volume 64, Oda drew the Supernovas as children. Law is shown with his fur hat and his faint shadows right under his eyes but wore the uniform for the medical academy he was attending: a blue lab coat with a red tie, dark blue shorts, and green shoes. He was also holding a scalpel on his right hand and a frog on his left hand, since he was already in training to become a surgeon with his father being his teacher.[24] After escaping Flevance, Law lost his tie and lab coat, and his shirt underneath became more raggedy, and his shorts have white spots on them. Because of his heritage, he inherited the Amber Lead Syndrome that accumulated throughout the generations of Flevance, which left his skin white and pallid until he obtained his cure.[7]

After the Timeskip In Oda's depiction of the Supernovas post-timeskip, he seems to have lost the fur rim of his hat, and replaced it with a thick bill, turning it into a rather spherical hat resembling a Wool Skipper. His goatee has become somewhat scruffier, and his right hand now also has the fingers tattooed. He now wears a yellow t-shirt similar in appearance to his old hoodie. He wears a black hoodie over the t-shirt, which features his Jolly Roger on the chest area in yellowish-orange ink. The sleeves of the hoodie are no longer rolled up, and it now has a fluffy fur collar.

During the Punk Hazard Arc, Law wears a long black coat with his crew's jolly roger along the hem and on the sleeve.[2]

While sailing to Dressrosa with the Straw Hats, Law wears a blue feather-collared sweater with his jolly roger on the front.[25]

During the Dressrosa Arc, he wears an open black coat with a hood which features the word Corazon on the back.[26] During his second confrontation with Doflamingo, Law's right arm was cut off. It is later reattached by Leo and healed by Mansherry.[27]

During the Zou Arc, Law changed into a dark, short-sleeved shirt with a light-colored heart pattern on the lower left side. He also bears stitch marks on his right arm after it was reattached by Leo.

During the Wano Country Arc, Law wears a black and white yukata with his two Jolly Roger, an orange sash, a brown jittoku with yellow five-petal flower patterns and spots, and zōri.[28] He briefly wears a tengai to hide his identity from his enemies such as Hawkins.[29] During the Raid on Onigashima, Law wears a yellow shirt and a blue cloak with fluffy fur collar.[30] Law's outfit had different colors (a black cloak with a brown fluffy fur collar, a white collared shirt, and dark blue pants) in the original "DREAMIN' ON" opening.

Advertisement Personality “ He's a madman! In order to become a Warlord he sent 100 pirate hearts back to Headquarters!! The guy's a freak!! ” — G-5 Marine about Law.[2]

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[7] 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".[16] Only after having been cured of his illness by Corazon did Law have a change of heart.

Law Biding His Time Law relaxing with his crewmate, Bepo. Present Law is an extremely laid-back yet scheming man, who is nearly always seen calmly smiling when not put into a tense situation. Not eager to directly clash with potential enemies, 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.[17] Also, while Law does not like starting or being involved in commotions that may attract unwanted attention towards himself, he enjoys spectating the chaos initiated by others, like a fight between two other Super Rookies or the destruction the Straw Hat Pirates were bringing to the Human Auctioning House in the Sabaody Archipelago.[1]

After the timeskip, Law does not smile as much anymore, 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. For example, he casually asked X Drake how many people he had slain in his very first appearance[1] and had no qualms about rudely gesturing to Eustass Kid, the most wanted rookie pirate on the Sabaody Archipelago who had a reputation for killing people for the most minor of reasons, even smiling defiantly when doing so. Law has also done this same gesture towards Donquixote Doflamingo both to provoke and display his contempt for his former captain, despite being close to death and threatened at gunpoint at the time. 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.[18][19]

Ruthlessness “ The weak do not get to decide how they die. ” — Law to Tashigi,[20] quoted from Donquixote Doflamingo.[21]

Despite having his life saved by Rosinante, Law remains incredibly hardened by his tragic past in his adulthood, leading to several rumors that present him as a cold and heartless man. Scratchmen Apoo stated that Law was infamous for his cruelty, and one of Smoker's men claimed he cut out the hearts of one hundred pirates and sent them to the government in order to gain the position of Warlord of the Sea.[2] In battle, Law is sarcastically merciful, using his powers to mutilate his enemies without fatally harming them, before toying around with their bodies in a mocking fashion. After bisecting Tashigi in a similar manner, his only response was disdain, ruthlessly disregarding Tashigi's pride and honor as a swordswoman (through a statement that he took from Doflamingo). He even offered to strike her down if she really wanted to die that badly.[20] That aside, 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, describing, for example, the kidnapped children of Punk Hazard as such.[22] Law is very blunt when responding to people and usually does not bother himself with excuses or apologies for his words and actions.[21][20]

Rosinante's sacrifice also led Law to a path of revenge against his benefactor's brother, Doflamingo. Even though Rosinante gave his life to ensure a young Law escaped from Doflamingo's clutches, Law himself set out to finish what his mentor had started with a plan of his own, becoming obsessed with the idea of taking Doflamingo down personally. After taking Caesar Clown prisoner, Law orchestrated a scenario where he would end up directly confronting his former crew, something Doflamingo himself pointed out as unnecessary since Law could have just let a war brew between the Donquixote Pirates and Beasts Pirates, leading to the demise of the former. This proves that despite his general pragmatic approach to everything, Law is capable of reckless decisions for the sake of his own feelings, even declaring that dying would be fine for him if it meant ensuring Doflamingo's downfall.

Kindness and Personal Code “ Law won't obey you anymore, Doffy! Plagued by the Amber Lead Disease, he was condemned to die in three years, but he has overcomed it. The lost boy blinded by anger and despair to follow the Mad Pirate is no more! There is nothing he can learn from a monster hungering for destruction like you!! ” — Rosinante about Law regaining his lost kindness.[23]

Despite Law's terse and rather unkind demeanor towards others, he still retains strong compassion and kindness (even if reluctantly), which he originally had as a boy, while regaining them due to Rosinante's influence. He decided to help the Straw Hats find a cure for the children affected by Caesar's drugs after some persuasion, even though he originally did not want to be involved with them, and later voluntarily cured the same children of their deadly poisoning and addiction for NHC10 in a similar fashion to how Rosinante saved him from dying of Amber Lead Syndrome. Law, however, dislikes showing this side of him to others since the very idea of pirates being nice to civilians disgusts him.[24]

Just like Chopper, Law is a doctor and dedicated to saving lives, thus he avoids employing lethal force and abhors the idea of needless murder[25] (the only exception so far being his arch-nemesis Doflamingo, who Law did not hesitate to try killing). He is also an honorable man who refuses to take credit from others' actions, acknowledging that events like Jean Bart's release and Doflamingo's defeat were thanks to Luffy. In general, Law seems to have little regard for fame, stating that he was not interested in having a bounty of Beli 500,000,000.[13] However, he is interested in the mystery surrounding the Will of D. of which his name carries, as he believes that to be the reason Rosinante went to great lengths to save him.[26][27]

Like Luffy and some other male Straw Hats, Law seems to be amused by "cool" things, like ninja and robots. Upon meeting Raizo, Law joined in along with the other Straw Hat males in taking part of the fun of the ninja's display of tricks and abilities, even so much as to request a specific technique, though it appeared he tried to stay deadpan to hide his excitement.[28] Also, according to himself, Law is a huge fan of the comic strip Sora, Warrior of the Sea, being able to instantly recognize Sanji's Raid Suit. Because of the comic, Law hates Germa 66.
