Background / History

Law initially approaches Ian while still associated with the Donquixote Family. Believing that he has little time left because of Lead Disease, he chooses Ian's side because the Beasts Pirates offer him the chance to cause greater destruction before he dies. Ian accepts him into the crew and promises to cure him. 90

Ian takes Law to Dressrosa's neighboring Green Bit in search of Princess Mansherry and her Healing Fruit. Mansherry treats Law's Lead Disease, and Law returns to Onigashima healthy for the first time in years. The recovery leaves him determined to train rather than remain the weakest among his peers. 97 98 115

When the Ope Ope no Mi is recovered from Minion Island, Ian gives the fruit to Law, reasoning that its potential is best realized by a doctor. Law immediately eats it despite its taste. 123 125

Law develops into one of Ian's most trusted medical specialists and field operatives. He performs high-risk operations on Golden Lion, assists in acquiring the Pluton blueprints at Water 7, and later becomes Hachinosu Island's top doctor. 136 150 193

By the time of the Uranus coronation, Law is publicly recognized as the Beasts Pirates' Chief Medical Officer. 364

Personality

Law begins as a bitter and destructive child, driven by his illness and his hatred for the World Government, Marines, and nations connected to Flevance's destruction. Ian's promise to cure him gives him a future he had stopped expecting. 90 96

He is intensely competitive and reacts badly to being called weak, responding to Drake and Sanji surpassing him by immediately committing himself to harder training. 115 In combat and negotiations, Law is cool-headed, sardonic, and fond of provoking opponents—particularly Doflamingo. 124 150 227

Despite his abrasive humor, Law is protective of people who have helped him. He insists that the Tontatta Tribe be protected after Mansherry saves his life and works to avoid unnecessary escalation when taking Tom's blueprints. 99 150

Abilities & Skills

Law can create a spherical operating space known as ROOM, within which he can manipulate targets and objects with surgical precision. Its effectiveness is limited against opponents whose Haki is sufficiently strong to resist it. 131 146

• Dismembers groups of opponents inside ROOM without conventional cutting. 131 180
• Teleports himself across long distances by opening consecutive ROOM spaces. 300
• Manipulates internal injuries, blood vessels, limbs, and nerves during surgery. 136 170
