i meant to post this on monday when i got to it but law and bepo!!!!!!!! hearts pirate cheerleading squad!!!!!! law’s cunty sensible work heels!!!!!

but no this actually made me think. i know it's because i'm sure oda hadn't plotted it out yet but it is funny that pre-timeskip law is set up so heavily as luffy's and kid's rival for the one piece when every single time we see him after this he is winning the idgaf war wrt to the one piece/being king of the pirates.

like obviously i'm saying this with foresight into where his arc goes, but even pre-timeskip law doesn't seem like he wants power for power's sake (something which continues to hold true obviously) or even that he cares about his status very much. like post-timeskip when we learn everything about law he doesn't really give a shit about power, strength means being strong enough to 1) never let anyone he loves he get hurt ever again 2) kill doffy (which he wasn't even originally planning to do with strength he was going to let kaido do it for him, though i do wonder if he would have been happy having it be that impersonal given what we know but that's a topic for another post) 3) be strong enough to never be controlled by anyone else ever again.

and wrt status like he very much gets a kick out of everyone else being so afraid of him (the marines on sabaody and the bratty little smirk when he first sees smoker tashigi and g-5 on punk hazard) but like. idk if he cared about it im pretty sure he would be leveraging what we just saw in marineford when even here, he's actively downplaying it to everyone and refusing to elaborate on why he just did that.

i don't know, sometimes i wonder what oda's original plans for law was when he was supposed to just be playing second fiddle to kid among the supernovas. like pre- and post-timeskip he obviously delights in pissing people off and causing problems on purpose i just wonder what his dream would have been, if it still would ultimately been freedom to parallel luffy's before it takes the detour to defeating doffy and avenging rosinante and then learning how to live past the ending of his own suicide mission, or if it would have been something else.

#one piece #i know law very much participates in supernova trio bickering and unseriousness #but that's because he's a bratty little control freak #like just once...if law was being annoying and kidd hit him with an #“well excuse me princess” i would take back every time ive ever called him useless captain midd #crops watered. skin clear. crops flourishing #luffy wouldn't because when he thinks law's being obnoxious he literally just picks him and carries him where he wants him to go
