Questions & Mysteries How come Law didn't do anything to Hawkins?

#8
Of course he can but the story requires Hawkins alive so he simply wasnt killed.
It was off paneled with the intention to throw us off but most people guessed that he wasnt killed.
Law isn't the narrator of the story. He doesn't choose "Hawkins is required for the story"

I'm asking why Law as a character chooses to leave Hawkins alive. I mean in the story why does Law do this.

Remember Law is the same guy who can take your heart to make you obedient or switch your personality. Why does law not only not kill Hawkins or even take his heart? Why does Law do nothing?

Law doesn't decide plot.

I'm asking why In the story, law as a character does nothing?

Didn't Law say to Hawkins that he doesn't like killing since his job was to save lives or was that anime only ?
@MarineHQ62
So what? Are you saying Law is NOT killing random grunts in this war? Is law literally not killing a single person in this entire war?main

Whether he likes doing it or not isn't a question. Zoro doesn't LIKE killing people. In fact there's a panel of Zoro getting upset that his cursed sword cut too much. But Zoro was still very willing to kill Charlos for fucking with him in Sabaody. Or kill that magistrate who was framing him for his own murders. Or kill as many beast pirates as it takes to win this war.

You don't have to LIKE killing in order to do it.

Also he could've taken Hawkins heart or switched his personality if that was a problem. Why didn't he DO ANYTHING?

I dont think I ever said that Law was the narrator who chose that Hawkins is required for the further story... Oda is.
I dont know his reasons, there are none from what we know. Characters are mostly hollow since Oda just doesnt give them a thought process or reasons most of the time...
We dont know and shouldnt be looking too much into it to find a reason when there most likely isnt one...
Oda could do what you said but he probably decided it is better the way it ended up actually happening without actually giving too much thought to justify Law's reasons.

But law isn't a hollow character. We aren't talking about a random background character here.

We know Law's character. There's no reason for him to have left Hawkins be according to what we know about Law already

Look at at it like this. I made a thread complaining about Kyoshiro NOT KILLING Sasaki right? Half of sll the people supporting This stupid decision were saying we don't know Kyoshiro'so character well Enough to tell whether he would kill Sasaki.

Well we know Law well enough, don't we?

I guess when hax vs hax occurs they might cancel out

And so yes he failed
I'm talking about the scene when Law has Hawkins cut in half after drake saved him. Why didn't law kill hum there when there was no fighting left and Hawkins had given up

I think people misunderstood something about the Law, Hawkins, and Drake scene.


- Hawkins captured Law by threatening Bepo, etc.
- Drake secretly freed Law.
- Law must have attacked Hawkins secretly after being freed. Drake was NOT involved in that directly becasue Drake continues to talk to Hawkins as an ally this chapter.


This MEANS Law and Hawkins were alone at that point without Drake. I also think the reason Hawkins survived was because him and Law now have a plan. Law hasn't really done anything at Onigashima yet. I believe that is on purpose right now

With hollow I mean he doesnt think any more or any less than what Oda decides for him.
We can make our guesses about their thought process but in reality, they dont exist since characters are just drawings on paper and all they have is what Oda gives them. If it was a computer simulation of OP world, characters would be doing nothing for 99% of time with blank speech bubbles because Oda gives them so little.

I know that you look for reasons for why Law did this or Kyoshiro did that but unless Oda writes it down, it doesnt exist.
He simply isnt putting as much thought into it as we do. There are plot holes everywhere, especially if you start looking into thought process of the characters.

@nik87
But I dont think is dumb enough not to know he's made such aggregious errors

Like when he lots these things out, he knows that the masses are so docile that they do t think about such obvious things.

For example if Kyoshiro killed Sasaki, that would've been an immediate tonal shift to to this somewhat laid back atmosphere of Wano. So Oda knows for sure when he let's Sasaki live that he's doing it to keep the fun and games of the story. And Oda knows people will lap it up.

No one on YouTube or worst generation or Reddit has addressed this extremely stupid plot contrivance. The people who like The story just like that Hawkins and Sasaki are back. The people who don't like the story are complaining about stupid shit like power scaling.

No one notices that Oda is doing actual bad writing and Oda knows they won't notice. He adds in lines like luffy comparing pre and post time skip to get the power scalers talking. Then he adds random plot contrivances like Big mom having somehow freed Sasaki by pure randomness.

No one realises how stupid any of this since they got what they wanted. Power scaling and Sasaki and Hawkins are back inexplicably

Law already said he doesn’t kill because he’s a doctor. Have you been reading the same manga as me?
@Guymieux
That's a lie. Law has never said " I don't kill"

He said he doesnt like to kill. Which is Entirely different from he doesn't kill.

Zoro doesn't like to kill. Doesn't mean he doesn't do it.

Grammar and comprehension my dude
