Law

Biodata

Background

Law grew up in Flevance with his parents and younger sister, Lami. After Amber Lead Syndrome was falsely labeled infectious, neighboring countries blockaded and attacked the town. His family died, and Law escaped by hiding among corpses. At ten, he entered Donquixote Family territory, declaring that he would destroy the world 17.

Rosinante recognized Law’s illness and eventually took him from hospital to hospital seeking a cure. On Minion Island, he stole the Op-Op Fruit and persuaded Law to eat it. When Doflamingo cornered them, Rosinante hid Law in a crate with a Den Den Mushi. Law’s call reached Ron, who rescued them both 41 42 44.

At Marineford, Law learned that Flevance’s leaders had concealed Amber Lead’s dangers. Witnessing an injured Marine give up his stretcher to a fisherman helped change his view of the Marines. He chose to study medicine and become a Marine, then asked Ron to train him 45.

Appearance

• As a child, Law had mottled white patches on his hands and beneath his sleeves from Amber Lead Syndrome 17 45.
• He later wore a spotted hat and carried a sword 74 89.

Personality

Law initially met the world with cold hatred after losing Flevance and his family. He remained wary around Marines, whose footsteps recalled the soldiers who had blockaded his home 17 45.

He did not abandon his anger at those responsible, but chose medicine and Marine service because he did not want other children to be left without help. He is also determined and sometimes impulsive: after rushing a pirate officer beyond his ability to handle, he accepted Ron’s correction and returned to training 45 55.

Abilities & Skills

Op-Op Fruit

Law ate the Op-Op Fruit on Minion Island. A military doctor said that, in theory, its power could remove tissue affected by Amber Lead Syndrome, but Law needed long-term care and guidance 41 44.

• ROOM: Creates a field in which Law manipulates objects and people. After a little over a month of training, he could swap several objects without disturbing a nearby cup 46.
• Shambles: Swaps positions within ROOM. Law has used it to rescue a wounded Marine, disarm pirates, and free a hostage 55 59 75.
• Scan: Locates or gathers objects; Law used it to find a hidden key and remove pirates’ muskets 59 75.
• Tact: Moves objects, including a broken mast used against King 59 104.
• Scalpel: Law used it with ROOM to remove Caesar Clown’s heart after his arrest 91.
• Limits: Early in training, Law could not perform complex operations on patients. Repeatedly using ROOM against King left him nearly exhausted, while King’s Observation Haki allowed him to evade attempted swaps 47 103 105.

Medicine

Law learned basic bandaging and medicinal herbs from his parents before continuing his studies through the Marines’ Medical Department. He has protected wounded Marines with ROOM and applied gauze and pressure while awaiting medical staff 45 46 51 55.

Swordsmanship and Haki

Law combines swordsmanship with his fruit powers. Mihawk advised him to control the force and angle of each strike rather than rely solely on his ability; Law later applied that lesson while fighting pirates in Mock Town 74 75.

• Law used Observation Haki to locate Pica inside a stone wall in Dressrosa 90.

Equipment

• Kikoku — Law’s sword by the time of the Dressrosa operation 89.
• Medical kit — Carried on patrol while learning battlefield care 47 54.

Relationships

• Rosinante / Corazon — Law’s guardian, who sought a cure for him, gave him the Op-Op Fruit and supported his choice to become a Marine 41 45 46.
• Ron — Law’s master. He arranged Law’s treatment and training, teaching him to use his spatial ability precisely and to develop his combat skills 45 46 55.
• Vergo — A fellow Marine with whom Law trained and fought. Law initially recognized him as a former Donquixote Family executive; they later fought together in Dressrosa and against King 46 59 90 103.
• Doflamingo — Took an interest in Law’s hatred and later pursued him after he ate the Op-Op Fruit. Law helped oppose the Donquixote Family in Dressrosa 17 42 89 90.
• Mihawk — Observed Law’s sword stance and advised him on the fundamentals of sword technique 74.
• Enel — A fellow recruit of Ron’s; Law criticized his lightning control and clashed verbally with him 79 80 86.

Story Role

• First voyage: Law joined Ron on patrol in the New World and encountered the Whitebeard Pirates. During the ensuing battle, he protected and treated wounded Marines 47 51 52.
• Combat training: After the clash, Law patrolled with Ron and Vergo, developing his medical skills, ROOM control and coordination with an ally 55 59.
• Mock Town and Sky Island: Law passed Ron’s test by defeating Mock Town’s pirates while sparing ordinary residents. He then accompanied Ron to the sky, met Enel and visited Shandora 75 78 80.
• Dressrosa: Law and Vergo helped defeat and capture Donquixote Family officers. Law also accompanied Ron to Caesar’s laboratory and removed Caesar’s heart after his surrender 90 91.
• Impel Down patrol: Law and Vergo fought King on the Eastern Route. Both were wounded, and Law was nearly out of stamina when Aokiji’s fleet arrived 102 103 104 105.
