Controversial Characters that are protected too much

I think he's protected because he's the token good Admiral so Oda won't make him look bad.
Whereas all the morally grey ones have had a "punishment moment" where they get beaten after doing a bad.
Like Akainu getting swatted by WB for killing Ace, Kizaru getting pizza'd for killing Vaguebum, Kuzan getting Blue Hole'd for joining BBP and Aramaki getting hit by Shanks' haki Cruciatus for invading Wano.
Whereas Fujichad just wants to free the slaves, so no karmic backlash beatdown for him.

Tf are people mentioning Law?
Oda‘s not afraid to humiliate Law as evident with the arm scene.
The SHs gets protected more, their plot armor is dialed up to 11 in the post-ts. Shanks gets protected the most by far out of any modern top-tier. Post-ts Zoro also has to look good for fanservice lol. Aura diffing Monet is the perfect evidence, Zoro also hasn’t progressed character-wise throughout post-ts — He just has to look cool as if it’s the only checkbox.
Law is stronger than Kidd, that’s my angle. BM only pointed out Law’s techniques, Puncture Wille was an island-level move that made the comparable hole to Bajrang Gun. Oda even inserted a meta joke about Kidd just taking the credit:
Law also showed blatant improvement in haki post-Wano. Law vs Teach was paralleled as a meetup between 2 yonkos like Shanks/WB via the marines’ comments.
Shanks being Roger 2.0 is also another angle that Oda could be going for. He showed Law’s performance against Teach first. This then sets up expectations for Kidd and directly hypes him up thus making him the perfect hypetool.
It’s probably a mix of both, Law‘s better than Kidd and Shanks is really fucking strong.

Oda also gave an entire chapter dedicated to Kidd recovering in this fight ,
he was actually highlighted more than law ,
even going as far as giving him the ultimate finishing blow on bigmom
now I know these aren’t concrete points for Kidd being above law but I am taking the worst case scenario and oda certainly didn’t highlight Kidd more than law only for him to be far weaker in individual strength .
Oda did include the joke but end of the day it was law who asked Kidd to deal the finishing blow .
most of the times , it’s luffy who deals the final
Blow on an enemy .
I know what I am saying is an extremely unpopular opinion on this site
.And Kidd vs shanks was also paralleled here ,
These fights were mostly abt yonkos getting ponygelphs from 3B pirates ,
the parallel was pretty evident .
Oda made teach use his best abilities offscreen
while shanks came in like a fuckin nuke delivering an acoc enhanced sword attack
teach took his time while shanks meant business .
Replace Kidd with law and u would prob have the same result .
They are both on the same level at worst , we can round and round abt how Kidd has the most pathetic showings in history while law is pretty impressive but oda did portray these characters on the same level , while law gets the benefit in AP, Kidd gets his own share in endurance

Nope, even his endurance is not evidently above Law‘s lol. Law took a hybrid TB, a barrage of BM’s punches, and held the fort offscreen while Kidd was being useless.
Nope, Law got all the wank in a span of a chapter. He was jumped, he showed a haki feat that only top-tiers have displayed so far. He got a hit off, he got a clash off against gura gura. Oda also let the choir sing their praises for Law throughout the fight, I can bring out the receipts. The big one is the marines and Akainu treating it like a Shanks/WB matchup, even the words used were exactly the same. “Redhair and WB have made contact” —> “Law and Teach have made contact”.
Kidd didn’t get any of that type of hype, Shanks gave him his flowers for his imaginary feat against fodders by comparison lmfao. And Shanks himself has a solid case to be the strongest top-tier right now. We saw it with Greenbull, we saw the giants compare his haki to Soyboy. What more do the doubters want lmfaooo. Y’all rather downplay Law and Kidd rather than upscale Shanks compared to normal top-tiers like what Oda is intending for. Well, you’re gonna really start to see it in the next 5 years.
Uta is canon, not the movie. Oda wrote the script it’s what was plastered all over for PR
Figarland, treasure chest baby, literally all these canon pieces of info first revealed in the film
Observation killing directly from movie pamphlet or are you not gonna call that canon either?
Kizaru and Fujitora both got embarrassed by Shanks and that’s how Oda would treat any Admiral against Shanks the same way in manga (see GB)

Law isn't even favoured generally, he is usually nerfed because his fruit was made too strong initially. He only looks favoured when he's next to Kidd.
Oda doomed Kidd when he made both him and Law df merchants but gave Law a god tier logic defying fruit, and gave Kidd a glorified lego builder. It is impossible for Law and Kidd to be on the same lvl, and this was made evident 3 times now, on the roof, in the fight against Big Mom, and then in their fights against their respective Yonkou opponents.
If there's one thing Oda did here, was stay true to their abilities. Despite Kidd being portrayed as a top Supernova, he just couldn't justify Kidd performing Law lvl feats, he gave Law a far more broken fruit and he constantly hammers down the point that Law is a lot more difficult to deal with than Kidd. I think he picks on Kidd, because his fruit could have been so much more, and if not, then atleast have Kidd tap into haki.
