Character Discussion How Trafalgar D. Water Law has impacted the story negatively.

[Pooth]

Before i start my critique I want to say that I do nit really hate law. If I am saying that I am baiting. Law is a cool character and got cool powers. However Law has done more bad than good to the story and I will briefly explain why.

This story was about people realising their dreams and the nakama helping luffy to become pirate king and find the one piece. However Law is the main enemy of this theme.

Law's addition has made other characters flat out useless or unneccessary in particular law has damaged 4 crew members: Zoro, Robin, Chopper and Sanji.

Zoro - How come in an arc where it is about swordsmanship law lectures someone in wano about swordsmanship and Zoto does not do such things? There are countless threads where I have explained how zoro is a garbage swordsman and this seems to add on.

Chopper - Law has a fruit that can easily make you the best doctor. We still do not know what requirement does one nees to have to be the greatest doctor but even if so CHOPPER IS HARMED BY IT. What is the point adding someone who is vastly better at healing than someone who wants to heal every disease. What is worse is that chopper does not get inspired or tries to learn from other doctors or has a rivalry with law about being a doctor.

Sanji - Sanji has been a complete gag post timeskip. Sanji was the tactician of the strawhats now law is. With law being the tactician sanji is left with being just a gaggly pervert who fights gag second commanders.

Robin - law wanted to learn about world history and was seen checking poneglyphs...okay? But to our knowledge only 10 people can go there. Would law have to go in the place of onw strawhat?

Law is cool and all but I hate how evert strawhat is reactive to him. Oda is mistreating the strawhats and it is not fair.

Zoro- when did this happen?

Chopper - Chopper's feats will likely come at the end of the arc when he heals the SMILE users, putting him above Law as a scientist in the very least

Sanji- Sanji got his moment where Law actually fanboyed over his costume. Sanji was actually not that big of a team tactician, his best roles were done by himself as some sort of "spy" very different from guys like Law and Jinbe

Robin - how does this ruin her lol

I seriously don't get your post. Do you want more interactions between Law and the SHs or less? at this point he's as good as one

Sanji- Sanji got his moment where Law actually fanboyed over his costume. Sanji was actually not that big of a team tactician, his best roles were done by himself as some sort of "spy" very different from guys like Law and Jinbe

Lol are you fr?

Chopper - Chopper's feats will likely come at the end of the arc when he heals the SMILE users, putting him above Law as a scientist in the very least

Still does not make up for what i said before does it.

Robin - how does this ruin Law lol

It ruins the entire crew actually because this story should be about the strawhats.Laws involvement as anothers crew captain makes no sense.

Law said that to an old lady in wano

 

[Roo]

Lol are you fr?

yes, you must have some rose tinted glasses about pre ts sanji. Sanji was more of a spy than a battle general. read enies lobby and alabasta

Still does not make up for what i said before does it.

It does because Chopper's dream is not to become the "doctor king" it is to be able to cure every disease in the world. If he can do it and Law can't it clearly separates the two

Like I've said, Law is treated pretty much like a straw hat by Oda, to the point where he mocks it in chapter 1001. Him hanging around really doesn't take away from the rest. in fact your point makes Robin more important as a character. Law NEEDS robin to complete his dream.

also who? Shinobu? that had nothing to do with swordsmanship

 

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Technically, the only Strawhat that got overshadowed by Law is Chopper. But we all know that Chopper will be the world's greatest doctor one day. For Sanji, back in Dressrosa, Sanji was the one who supervise Law's plan, not Law himself. Think of Law as battle general while Sanji is the strategist/tactician. Zoro, Robin and others are safe lol. Robin can read Poneglyph while Law can't Lmao.

 

[Pooth]

yes, you must have some rose tinted glasses about pre ts sanji. Sanji was more of a

I guess skypiea did not happen then.

Do i really need to explain what is wrong with this?

It does because they are reactive to him. Zoro did nothing but follow kinemonsand law's orders.

Going against the manga now?

And in enies lobby it was sanji who orchestrated the saving of robin and the escaping of the strawhats

 

[Roo]

You mean the bait he did against Enel? again he did that on his own lol. Not a battle general

Do i really need to explain what is wrong with this?

No because I'm done entertaining this topic. You're just bitching to bitch at this point. Even in this arc it is made clear that Law is a fighter above doctor when he handed off Zoro to Sanji.

It does because they are reactive to him. Zoro did nothing but follow kinemonsand law's orders.

No he didn't. Zoro actively went against Law's order lol. Sanji was actually telling Law what to do in this arc, and i'm sure people could find moments where Law was being reactive to the SHs.

Going against the manga now?

 

[Hereforthesalt]

none of this argument makes sense because law isn't a straw hat

he's not on the crew so he doesn't fill the role of any of those crewmates

 

[Pooth]

Sanji orchestrated robins rescue. Enough with this stupidity. Sanji was the architect of the strawhat attacks. Even in aarlong park if i remember it well. Sanji even motivated usopp in EL.

Law has a crew themed around doctors. Are you sure law cares about fighting more than being a doctor?

No he didn't. Zoro actively went against Law's order lol. Sanji was actually telling Law what to do in this arc, and i'm sure people could find moments where Law was being reactive to the SHs.

Actively? Zoro did nothing except get lost and say sorry to kinemon and law. In the rooftop zoro disobeyed but that does not make up for it does it.

That is the point. Law is intervening on strawhat moments.

 

[Ballel]

@Pooth Usually you're a overly critical hater but in this post you're absolutely right.
I like Law but at the same time Oda damaged his main characters by adding him.
Maybe he gave him some of the Strawhats' traits because he couldn't come up with any special ones unique to Law.
He made up Law's character from scratch after all.

 

[sanjikun]

Never really thought about this, but yeah I agree. Law has sucked up the oxygen from the other Straw Hats.

However, I don't personally think it's a bad thing. He's a great character and almost a part of the crew as well.

 

[ShadyOjiro]

More than the strawhats I'd say it affects the WG members.

If some were were dead( as Oda initially planned) it would reasonable if the focus was directed towards the ones alive but it isn't the case.

 

[Ballel]

If some were were dead(

Which ones did Oda intend to die?

 

[ShinmenTakezo]

1) The Zoro thing never happened

2) Chopper wants to cure every disease, not be the best surgeon, or best doctor ever in every aspect.

3) Sanji was a failure way before Law had the opportunity to replace him.

4) Law has no influence on Robin´s quest.

Oda´s reluctance to highlight the Strawhats like pre-TS has nothing to do with Law, they are not mutually exclusive.

 

[Garp the Fist]

1. When did this happen?
2. Chopper’s doing fine, he‘s been healing Queen‘s viruses this arc
3. I think there is truth in this. Law has been more of a M3 than Sanji since he was introduced. To the extent that we actually have had more Luffy/Zoro/Law scenes than Luffy/Zoro/Sanji since Dressrosa
4. Twenty-seven Roger Pirates went to Laugh Tale. Where are you getting this “only ten” idea? And in this case Law is directly subordinate to Robin, because she’s the only one who can actually tell him anything about the history. Law can do squat on his own.

I don’t think Law has taken too much screentime up. On PH/Dressrosa, sure, he had a lot, but he was also pretty important to those arcs. Since then he’s really not been used as much by Oda- up until the rooftop, it actually looked pretty like Oda didn’t really know what to do with him and was keeping him to the side a fair bit.

Zoro - How come in an arc where it is about swordsmanship law lectures someone in wano about swordsmanship and Zoto does not do such things? There are countless threads where I have explained how zoro is a garbage swordsman and this seems to add on.

When?
Or u talk about punk hazzard where law beat tashigi and started talking about what makes a swordsman

 

[Nidai_Kitetsu]

I agree. Post-TS has been Law Piece and we all know post-TS One Piece sucks. So yes, his impact has been negative in the grand scheme of things.

 

[RoronoaZorro]

1) What...

2) First of all, doctor and surgeon is the same, but also not the same. About the "curing" stuff, Law can only do it via his df. Other people can't replicate it. Whereas Chopper is concocting antivirus that everyone can replicate. If you understand what this means, Chopper is more useful than Law.

3. First of all, let's ignore the Sanji hate that's going on this. forum. When you have a neutral mind, reread my point above. If you don't hate Sanji, you would notice that Law and Sanji are different type of brain. Besides, Law proposal and plan for a strategy is similar to Jimbe. They were the type who plans beforehand, whereas Sanji is more about responsiv and adapting to the current situation.

4. Law only wants to know about the D. He can't read Pone too.

If anything, it's Law Ope fruit that is destroying the narrative, with it's multifunction. If you're an older generation in anime/manga community, this is Itachi all over again.

 

[Finalbeta]

Damn this guy really only complains on this site 🧐 that's peculiar and interesting at the same rate.

 

[mugiwalaw]

you do freaking realize without Law, strawhats would have no conection with Wano nor Kaido at all.
