Law is Joining the Crew and here is why

First, we establish that Luffy is stronger than Law. This is done through Luffy defeating Doffy and further on fighting stronger and stronger opponents through Cracker, Katakuri, and now Kaido & Big Mom. Also, most people already accepted Zoro is stronger than Law so there is no conflict of interest there. WSS will always be one of the strongest in the Verse especially given that Zoro surpasses Mihawk.

Luffy already thinks of Law as a crewmember. And Law is one of the major driving forces of the plot. His infatuation with the Will of D is such a big deal.

ROLE: Heart Seat or Surgeon. In my opinion its the Heart Seat that Doffy wanted Law to be. Like a sacrifice. Remember Vergo and Corazon were Doffys past heart seats and they both perished. Law was given an overpowered Devil Fruit with the Ability to Rule the world coupled with something else according to Doflamingo. I believe it is some sort of Heart Seat where law uses the Perpetual Youth Operation some point in either Raftel post-battle with Blackbeard or in Marygeoise against Imu, or Gorosei?

DREAM: To find the meaning of the Will of D
SAD BACKSTORY: Flevance
BENEFACTOR: Donquixote Rosinante (Corazon/Cora-san)
BOUNTY: 500,000,000
LUFFY BOUNTY: 1,500,000,000

Supporting Reasons (w/ Canon showing)
  • Law was willing to die to Fuji and Doffy rather than call Luffy his subordinate in Greenbit.
  • Luffy explicitly said Law is on my crew. Law denied.
    • This is the same case with strawhat like Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Jinbei, Franky, Brook, Chopper who deny at first and later accept because they see Luffy for who he is.
  • Will of D Bond
    • Monkey D. Luffy & Trafalgar D. Water Law
  • Post Marine ford Law saved Luffy along with Jinbei, Ivankov (Serving in for Dragon), Buggy, and Shanks who are all tied very closely with Luffy
  • Law held Luffy's Strawhat for a significant Period during a Tumultuous time
    • Other People who've held the hat have been Ace, Zoro, Nami, Robin, Margaret, Buggy, Shanks, and Tama [with the exception of Margaret, everyone has a very close tie with Luffy]
  • Law Saves Bellamy parallel to Zoro saving Smoker
  • Law was swilling to die alongside Luffy if Doffy lost.
  • Luffy saves the strawhats from their shambles and Luffy saves Law from Doffy
  • Luffy finishes Laws fight for him like he does for the rest of the strawhats
    • He defeats Doflamingo.
    • Destroys Dressrosa.
    • And has Fujitora on his side the whole time.
    • Doflamingo is locked up in Level 6 Impel Down.
As of 996, the story now requires Law to travel with Luffy. Law will not become an Enemy after all their interactions/moments. He knows the ties the strawhats have with Luffy. He knows Luffy character and Ambitions. To know the meaning of the Will of D, Law has to travel with Pirate Kings crew. Law by himself realistically will not get there.


Law is a Captain of his own crew?
  • Jinbei was Captain of Sun Pirates.
  • Franky was the Boss of the Franky Family.
  • Usopp was Captain of the Usopp Pirates.
  • Zoro asked to be Captain of Baroque Works before killing Mr. 7.
  • Brook was a temporary Captain for the Rumbar Pirates.
  • Oden was the Leader of the 9 Red Scabbards.

EDIT: Now that your piece is complete, I gotta say...I love it. Law’s really grown on me since his introduction; while I wouldn’t profess to be a diehard fan, his calculations/abilities/backstory have always been really interesting. I don’t think Oda would use him so heavily both leading up to and after the timeskip without a good reason, and what better purpose is there in One Piece than to help Luffy reach his goal of becoming Pirate King?? The author has previously said that he thought the Supernovae would eventually fall off and quit piracy, but seeing how long they’ve stuck around means they’re intended for much more than just being also-rans.

My thoughts too. Also, I didn't include this since the credibility of its source is murky, but Oda said the next strawhats would join one after and another and we already know who they are. Soo yeah

I’m scared about what happens after this arc thought like when law first made the alliance I was so happy you know I never thought we’d get a side character joining the main cast in One Piece like this. Like it’s not the same as with Vivi. Like I dunno the whole alliance thing during punk hazard just hit differently, and when they released the colour spread with the heart pirates snd strawhats (Straw-Heart Pirates, would have been a better name than the nonsense we got now). I was in Heaven when I saw that spread:





Like Law has been along for the ride for a while now and whilst his character is developing I feel like Oda is gonna punk us. I want the alliance to carry on to the very end, if Law ends the alliance at the end of this arc to go and sail with his weak as crew I’ll be so annoyed.

One thing Oda shouldn’t have done is had laws crew have 20 members, that’s so dumb. We haven’t even gotten any screen time for Bepo, Shachi and Penguin and there’s a whole 17 other members? That’s my fear there’s no way we’ll get 20 members travelling alongside the SH crew next arc and everyone exploring town together. Law had been set up for this very arc. Even in zou his crew has no proper interactions with anyone else and that pissed me off.

Dressrosa was perfect because we just got 3 extra people, Kin, Momo and Law. (Caesar too whose disappearance act is immaculate)

Law chilling at a cafe with Robin Ussop and Ceaser was absolutely golden. Like we got that old One Piece feel where they’re travelling around town and exploring but we got new people too. That won’t work with an extra 20 people.

Like I’m down for Law to carry on sailing with them in order to find out the Will of D, but just bring Bepo, Shachi and Penguin too. That would be perfect. :steef:

My preferred NW recruits : Jinbe-Tama-Yamato-Law

Realistic NW recruits : Jinbe-Yamato (I'm subscribed to 5-6 / Go-mu theory, 11 SH members total)

I have 3 concerns regarding Law joining :

- He's portrayed as Luffy's equal, having him as "subordinate" depreciated his "status"

- He's not "very kind" at heart. Remember when he scowls at SH when they're being kind to wano villager? That panels broke my heart. It can just be a gag, but, still..

- Law statement in 1001, where he said he didn't like "getting ordered".

Sanji, the supposed kindest member of the strawhats would rather leave experimented children in Punk Hazard to continue being fucked with by the scientists...

What Law said is nothing compared to that.

Law in Straw Hats? Sure. But Bepo and the rest of the Heart clowns must die asap. Then Luffy's crew is complete
Bepo Pirates have already fucked off somewhere

Annoyingly they’re on Onigashima, we just don’t know what the hell they're doing :/ same with kids crew. We better see them next chapter or I’m mad.

Also I’m a huge Sanji fan but even I don’t understand what Oda was trying to do with that whole “you’re kinder than anybody” shit. Like Oda ain’t slick lol. Sanji is an asshole and that’s why I love him. Maybe in comparison to his family he’s nice but overall he isn’t exactly kind.

What about his crew then?

Then, the Sh already have a doctor.

A far as I know, it is not even confirmed if there is a "reverse" eternal youth surgery.

And on that panel where Luffy calls law his crewmate I think he just says 'nakama' in the original. That doesn't necessarily mean crewmate but rather 'friend' or 'comrade' as in "he's on my side now". Not necessarily "he's in my crew".
They are allies after all. Luffy seems to have a wierd understanding of that anyways. Just reread the scenes on punk hazard where they make the alliance.

Bepo Pirates and Kid Pirates are fodder outside of Law, Killer, and Kid. Luffy's crew got the Tobi Roppo individually. It would be nice if the Kid-Bepo Pirates helped them. I never thought of Law as evil after he says he doesn't kill.

Law is not going to betray Luffy, Law’s not a part of SWORD, he’s not becoming a StrawHat, and he’s not going to die in Wano.

Most of the popular theories regarding Law are wrong or will be proven wrong. Fans don’t seem to really know what Law will do next. Oda has done an excellent job keeping us guessing.
Law apart of sword has the same credence as ZKK. People love to shit on it without understanding it. It may/may not happen. And speaking of the other things, Oda will encompass all those things into one. Law may have been in sword from age 15-26/current, he may join, and will not die.

Let me just add something, I don’t think law will join but I don’t think him being a doctor matter either. During Punk Hazard Law cures the brats and I believe he did that with ease whereas it would be more of a task for Chopper, frankly they can just bounce of each other, they don’t have to compete. Like in Zou, how would Chopper have cured the Minks if not for Caeser being there? There are things chopper can’t do, how was he going to develop an antidote for Queen plague without having the actual vial first? Like Chopper is cool and a great doctor but he still has a long way to go.

During punk hazard. We had 3 swordsmen working together and it was so cool. Zoro, Brook and Kin working together was niceee.

like law being around doesn’t take away from Zoro or brook being swordsmen or chopper being a doctor.

I say again I don’t want law to join the crew and highly doubt he will but I still want him to sail along with them as the alliance. Not as a grand fleet member or anything like that. But as Luffy equal in rank as a Captain of their alliance. I’d love Kid to come along too but I know that won’t happen.

What about his crew? What are the other crews doing?

Kinemon is leading the RS.
Bepo has already shown desire to lead the heart pirates.
Franky Family went under Iceburg.

There is no reverse eternal youth surgery. What does that have to do with anything?
The way Luffy lives is reckless in itself, eternal life is the last thing on his mind.
Oda wouldn't drop that Chekov's gun for no reason. Especially with its ties to Im, Doflamingo, and world control.

Luffy does have a weird sense of the term ally. I agree with you on that. Punk Hazard alliance has come to now where it has ended. I'd be more surprised if you still see Law as an equal to Luffy.

Honestly I still have faith the other crew members such as Heat, Wire, Bepo, Shachi and Penguin will help the SH crew. Otherwise what was the point in this alliance?
Also there’s no way in hell that the SH are beating flying 6 alone. If it does happen then it’ll have to be the biggest asspulls ever.

Bepo is still on Onigashima so he may show off the Sulong and help against the F6
As for the others I see them as just fodder

I agree Law isn't on the same level as Luffy but I highly doubt he's going to work under Luffy.
Plus Law can destroy everyone on the SH.
That’s why the alliance with them as equals in enough. Law will never join with Luffy as his captain lol

That’s to be seen I believe I respect your opinion though, I’m starting to believe they’re just fodder too but I won’t lose hope until the war is over to be honest.

F6 has 5 members lol if Bepo fighting one or helping then the others are gonna help too.

I’m almost convincing myself that Bepo isn’t the first mate of the HP because laws main members were all founding members of the crew.
