@Kizaruber Eats already posted the quote from Oda where he states he doesnt like killing people because it would sour the mood of the party. Law dying would definitely do that
Its funny you should mention that too, I've been extremely worried for Law when Oda revealed that immortality surgery nonsense from his DF too. I wonder if that's the counter to not just Imu inevitably but the Holy Knights and Gorosei's regen too?
Maybe the surgery was done on Imu and they are loaning their immortality to the Gorosei and HKs somehow? Giving them all kinds of powers and immortality? Well if Imu is the actual devil or a sea god or w/e, it would be more plausible, but a God wouldn't need the immortality surgery and be immortal anyway surely?
I've hated this reveal about his DF anyway, especially since it supposedly kills the user of the fruit when they perform it. I don't want Law to die, it would be too heartbreaking for Bepo too and after Corazon's brutally heroic and tragic sacrifice as well, it would just be too depressing.
When Doflamingo turned Law into 50 Cent at Dressrosa, I was worried Law was gonna die there, but thankfully he didn't and those fears came back immediately when he faced Blackbeard and co, but thank god Bepo and thus Chopper indirectly were able to save the day ofc.
I do wonder if the immortality surgery or w/e it is requires the awakening of the fruit to do so? Thus pushing Law into his inevitable fate of using it too? Although something that important is gonna be a Chekov's Gun and happen sooner or later, but I pray this one of those times where Oda can once again pull out his mother of asspulls again like he did with Sabo, Pell and especially Kinemon and Pound and Law somehow survives the surgery or gets resurrected in some way. I would even dare to suggest Brook could do it with his DF awakening, maybe only being able to revive each person once but with another catch too?
I mean I complain about story flaws, plot holes, asspulls and what not but I'm hypocritcally unashamed to ignore those when I wanna protect my favourite characters lololol, corruption and bias at its best!

Law dying would mean less money for Oda.Its just that simple
its EOS and to this day Ace is a big merch seller lol
Exactly this too ofc. Law is extremely popular worldwide as we know and I've seen a lot of female fans thirst over him bigtime and even male fans thirsting over female Law (cough

) but even than Law is reminiscent of 90s or especially earliest 2000s culture in his style and such and he's way too loved to die but as Roo said, Ace still does sell a ton of merch but Oda has given his character so much love in both the manga and outside ofc, same with Toei as well.
Even if Law dies, god forbid if he does, he will sell a ton of merch regardless but I think his death will probably cause a lot of backlash and thus death threats online, especially to Toei once they have to animate it inevitably as Toei are getting from Sanji fans atm too and I hope with the messages I posted above from Oda and his current state of mind, along with the fact he seems to regret killing off Ace, that he won't kill enough someone as important as Law.
He even admitted himself, he expected Kidd to be way more important and instead Law was ofc, Kidd was the one supernova Oda had in mind initially before the others and maybe Law too I think, he gave them that extra importance at Sabaody and standing next to Luffy for a reason then again at Wano when they had that amazing triple panel of challenging the Beast Pirates and talking about fighting on seas as pirates and such. Also that hilarious chicken game moment on the rooftop which I keepforgetting, when they all tried to avoid doging Big Mom's fireball, that was great hahahaha!
Oda really respects Law and Kidd, even though a LOT of Kidd haters will try to convince you otherwise and you can even see it from one o fthe Wano openings where both are shown openly supporting Luffy. Kidd is the Vegeta to Luffy and Law is the Piccolo. Well the non-SH equivalents of Piccolo and Vegeta I mean, I would say Zoro and Sanji might be Piccolo and Vegeta too but that's probably controversial especially to compare Vegeta to Sanji lmao.
Even if Law does die, I don't think he will stay dead, but I always expected Oda would bring back Ace somehow and Pedro would be revealed to be alive so idk lmao, but I can't see EOS of One Piece happening without Luffy, Law and Kidd together regardless, I want all 3 to survive and get to Laugh Tale and be there for the One Piece. They deserve that much.
The fact that Drake is alive gives me hope too, I expected him to die and I'm grateful he isn't dead. I hope Hawkins is alive but he might be dead ofc and if he is, that's a huge shame but alas. Oda already wrote his vice captain Faust out of the story, a freaking mink named after the legendary FAUST HIMSELF and then he never even reappeared once post TS....
The fact Urouge hasn't reappeared post TS isn't helping either....except for his fateful meeting with Kaido, I'm starting to fear the worst for him now but I'm praying he's being saved for an inevitabel Enel return moment and maybe both of them are being saved for Elbaf's Heaven Realm instead or a later arc somehow or even a potential space/moon arc but I am rapidly losing hope too at this point.
That's my usual random ramble and rant over anyway lol.
