''The Surgeon of Death'' Trafalgar Law! Also known as Trafal-guy!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Trafalgar Law is the captain and doctor of the Heart Pirates,[3] a pirate crew from the North Blue. On top of being one of eleven pirates who have been referred to as "The Eleven Supernovas", he became one of the Shichibukai during the timeskip. Law, like many other pirates, dreams of finding One Piece.[4]


Abilities and PowersEdit

Law is a fearsome pirate who, along with most of his crew, proved resistant to Rayleigh's burst of Haki that took out almost everyone in the Auction house. He is also apparently quite fearless, as he allowed several Marines to get within close-range of him on Sabaody Archipelago, despite being a long-range fighter.

Some time during the timeskip, Law became so powerful and infamous that even the ruthless Marines of G-5 were deeply afraid of him. He has gained a bounty that surpasses Luffy's current one, and then brought a hundred pirates hearts to the World Government, earning him a position in the Shichibukai. Law was able to battle Smoker, a Marine vice admiral and a Logia user without getting himself seriously injured. In addition to his Devil Fruit, Law has sufficient physical strength and tactical wits to clash on equal terms with Smoker and his jutte.
Medical ExpertiseEdit
Law prepares to perform surgery on Luffy and Jinbe, as seen in the anime.

He has earned the nickname "Surgeon of Death" due to his surgical skills in addition to his formidable combat abilities. He appears to be considerably skilled as a doctor, as he was able to treat Monkey D. Luffy and Jinbe right after both of them barely escaped a murderous Akainu that left them on the brink of death. The mere fact that he was able to stabilize Jinbe's condition strongly hints that Law's medical expertise is not limited to human anatomy alone.
Devil FruitEdit

Further information: Ope Ope no Mi

Law using "Room: Shambles" on some Marines.

Law possesses a Devil Fruit called the Ope Ope no Mi, which allows him to create a spherical territory of light blue aura. In this territory, he is capable of separating and spatially displacing anything and everything inside (including himself), referred to as that he can "operate" on anything within the spherical "operating room". Easily among the most versatile Devil Fruits around, with his powers, Law is easily capable of causing mass havoc within the area he controls.

The weakness of the technique seems to be the concentration required to use it; Law must gesture with his hands to centralize the effects upon its victims. The full extent of this ability remains unknown at this time.[6] Other than that, he has the same standard weaknesses as all Devil Fruit users.
SwordsmanshipEdit

Law's offensive abilities lie in his swordsmanship, demonstrated by his expert use of a sword about as tall as he is. His proficiency is enough that his sword was able to clash equally against Smoker's jutte with little trouble, and combined with his Fruit powers, he has repeatedly shown being able to mutilate people faster than they could react, and has apparently defeated Kinemon in this manner.
WeaponsEdit

Law's choice of weapon is a large version of the typical Japanese sword type known as nodachi. He appears to be quite skilled with it, being able to slice up targets from a distance (although this effect is attributed to his Devil Fruit power). It is a large sword with an oblong-shaped hand-guard coated with short white fur, sheathed in a black scabbard decorated by white crosses from the opening to the bottom, and with a small piece of red rope tied near its opening. Due to its size, Law usually carries this sword over his shoulder (in contrast to the other sword-wielding characters in the series, who either carry theirs on their hips or over their backs); yet in other times, he delegates one of his crewmates (namely Bepo) to carry this sword for him.
