So far, apart from Gamma ray and probz shambles:mes, Law hasnt demonstrated a strong use of Ope Ope no mi. Inface, the Ope Ope no mi is a fruit which you have to spend years mastering (being a doctor and all that) and it does jack shit in combat. Doffy easily savaged Law with his ito io and the room consumes so much more energy than a punch from Gura Gura or a thunder attack from Goro Goro. Law doesnt hv any 1hit ko's and is likely not to have any.

LAW CANT EVEN HEAL HIMSELF THT MUCH. Sure, he can take out bullets, but Doffy, whos fruit is the String String and no the Operation Operation no mi, can ****ing hold organs together. Coupled with Law physical weakness (no major feats so far. Correct me if im mistaken) and that the Ope Ope no mi consumes too much energy and doesn't repay it back with adequate powers, i think Law and the Ope Ope no mi is a big let down.

oH, BUTS IT CALLED THE ULTIMATE DF **** tht. It cant do jack shit apart from granting immortality (not invincibility) and thts the ONLY reason its called tht. ****ing hell. Even Jewelry Bonney DF has much more offense thn Ope Ope no mi. In New World the Gamma Knife will be ineffective on

1) Logia: Can simply reform their organs as no Haki
2)Yonko or any other top tier

Unless Law shows some major feats next chapter, then I, a Law fanboy, would say tht Law doesnt deserve to be a Supernova.

The only REAL combat ability the Ope Ope no mi has allowed is to cut mountains and meteors, and thts a feat Zoro and Mihawk (non DF users) have shown

Ur thoughts?

law physical combat is shown through his swordsmanship he was able to deflect overheat (something luffy has to dodge cuz it will cut him in 2 pieces) and doffy strings as well as clash evenly with pts smoker (the latter who causually traded blows with vergo who traded blows with sanji)

law also has been shown to be quite a tank from all the damage he recieved at punk hazard and also in dressrosa yet hes still standing


law also fought (yes off panel) against fujitoria and doffy and before u say fuji prob didnt do anything thats false cuz he would not have followed law and doffy and when they did finally catch him fuji used his gravity against law who was able to overcome the gravity and use shambles to get himself out of it



laws best strength is his brain, reaction speed and quick thinking
everything he does is pure instinct while able to use entire terrian as his playground (another exp of this in another charactrer in a different manga is shikimaru against hidan or the sound village girl) something a lot of characters dnt have in OP (at least the straw hats bar sanji and robin luffy and zoro just try to overpower thier way out of things) there r very few characters who can outsmart him (going by hype for these characters cuz by feats none of them do)

laws abilities also consist of counter shock and gamma knife and the latter i dnt see any supernova or anyone in laws league tanking that and still able to fight him


laws abilities also allow him to teleport and incapacitate his foes by cutting them into pieces

and is able to create huge rooms and invisible ones


law is a stunning character one of oda's best and my favorite (i dnt think ur looking at his feats the right way)

law also has enough haki and physical power to cut through vergo as well (with his fruit but we seen before he wasnt able to do so wit just his fruit so he had to get stronger)

the guy also has a ton of endurance and for someone who loses stamina each room he creates i totally lost count for how many rooms he has created so hes a stamina beast as well..

Law's Devil Fruit isn't really a direct combat one, it has no finishing blow to it or real fighting blow power, but it is stronger in other ways.

For example the ability to give someone immortality is pretty OP.

Why would Law not deserve to be a SN when we hardly have feats for most of them? You know Law still has a lot of growing to do so why are you counting him out now?

Law doesn't need to do anything next chapter because this manga isn't ending next chapter.

We may not necessarily see that, Law isn't a main character, the author isn't going to have him showing amazing feats every arc like with the Straw Hats.

He may still be around but the author may not bother focusing on developing him as much in later arcs, he has many other characters to focus on, not to mention several other Supernovas.

He sliced a mountain in 2, defeated one of Mingo's 2 strongest subordinates, defeated Smoker, fought an admiral and Shikibukai where he managed to escape then protect the other straw hats (one of whom was in the monster trio), and proceeds to fight easily one of the TANKIEST characters we have ever seen doing at least decent damage to him... And you think he hasn't shown any strong use of the Ope Ope?

Then you outright say 'yeah Oda said it was the strongest but nah guys trust me it's not'?

Dude just drop the manga Law is a beast.

Getting beat by Doflamingo doesn't mean a character is weak. Far from it - Doflamingo is, according to most peoples' rankings, the second strongest of the Shichibukai, just below Mihawk, and has been smacking basically everyone around in the Dressrosa arc. Plus, he beat two Vice-Admirals, and actually one-shotted one of them while he was covered in Busoshoku Haki. Law's far from being a let down.

Law is actually very impressive, more than i thought. His endurance in particular is really insane, probably comparable to Zoro's and he possesss respectable physical strength, swordsmanship and reaction speed, which is impressive when you add the haxness of his devil fruit alongside it. He can cure, teleport or switch, levitate things, ignore durability, destroy internal organs, all that inside a mountain size room

With the Dofly rape sessions, Introduction of a new admiral, and Sabo getting the Mera mera no mi it's easy to forget just how hax law is. I don't feel that he's a let down really it's just that he's been fighting someone out of his league this entire arc which has been a long time (Dressrosa has been going on for like what 2 years now?). I agree that he do need to work on his stamina but Law is still young (he's 27 I believe) and has lots of development to go. Most Op characters seem to reach their prime in their mid 30's to early 40's and that time frame aligns perfectly for another time skip that most speculate to happen before the final war.

Why do people say he has no 1 hit Ko's or he has no finishers ?

He has one of the best 1 hit KO 's in the show.

Step into his room and get cut.
His arsenal is 90% 1-Hit KOs.

There's nothing wrong with Law's stamina quite honestly. His fruit drains his energy, and he's been using it all day, pulling off big moves after taking heavy damage from an Admiral and a fighter that's stronger than even Luffy.

Then he should have defeated Doflamingo and Fujitora when he fought them the first time, since he didn't its clear that ability has limits.

Yeah OP seems to have forgot who the MC is, Luffy and Law are connected as pirates so he's going to be a bit underwhelming because of it. Laws not getting any reward at the end of this all because its Luffy whos becoming PK. So Law not living up to his expectations is expected.

I can see him surpassing Doflamingo and becoming Admiral level someday, but he's not going to get a real reward at the end of it all, only disappointment if he plans on becoming PK.

Law still has this whole pirate alliance saga to show more though. So he's probably going to get the most development of the SN maybe besides Eustass Kid.

Well his biggest goal was the downfall of Doflamigo, so he is getting a reward, I think he will be alright with not becoming the King of the Pirates..

Also I suspect that each of the Supernovas will have some major role to play in different sagas.

I just do't understand how people will say this, and then if a thread about how One Piece or Oda sucks or is inferior to another manga, people will also say "A strong point about Oda is how he doesn't just follow the main character above all trope, he develops and involves his side characters just as much." Like, which one you believe fam?

-Fought a fresh Fujitora and Doflamingo at the same time and got hurt.
-Fought a fresh Doffy while injured and got 5 bullets holes in his abdomen and 1 string hole in his shoulder
-Fought a fresh Doffy and Trebol while injured and got 5 string holes in him and lost an arm
-Managed to defeat Trebol and destroy Doffy's organs while having all those injures

Hmmmm...yep Law is pathetic......
