[Theory] Law's Grudge Against Doflamingo

[The 3]

It has been made apparent that there is some sort of deep seeded resentment towards Doflamingo from Law. This is a theory that could possibly explain how this originated.

What we know thus far?

These two images state that Doflamingo hadn't begun making a name for himself until approximately ten years prior. Notice how King Riku used the term "lately", insinuating that this is a relatively new phenomena.

For some reason though, Law's grudge dates back three years prior to Doflamingo being a prominent name/pirate at all.

Why is this significant?

Spoiler

So what could possibly have happened three years prior to cause Law so much anger? I believe a clue lies in Doflamingo's Jolly Roger.

Notice anything peculiar about his Jolly Roger? His is the only Jolly Roger that we've seen that has a blatant cross across it. Why is that? I believe it's because Doflamingo had joined a crew thirteen years ago after he had been shamed/released by the Celestial Dragons without revealing who he truly was. At one point, being an egomaniac and having a disposition to rule (Conqueror's Haki), he overtook the captain and in turn took control of the ship and possibly the crew (though I doubt he let any live, unless this is where he met Trebol, Pika, and Diamante). He then proceeded to put a simple slash through the original Jolly Roger and sail about his way.

How does this affect Law?

Spoiler

Well, this could greatly be dependent on who the former captain was, or where he originated. It's possible that he could have been an upstart from West Blue that Law greatly respected or aspired to be like. Imagine an Ace like figure ('like', probably not AS strong a bond) to Law being slaughtered by someone who was supposed to be a loyal member of his crew, who then proceeded to disrespect his friend even more by putting a slash through the Jolly Roger and taking it up as his own. This could easily be the trigger that caused Law to infiltrate the Donquixote Family and be willing to sacrifice himself, just to see Doflamingo die.

By no means am I saying this must be the truth, but it's a theory that I believe could be potentially plausible. What do you guys think?

 

[Punk Hazard]

Plausible. Maybe he was the captain of the crew. Would explain Law's Jolly Roger being almost identical to Joker's without the cross through it.

so... your doing a theory about the mark? IS THAT RIGHT? TELL THAT IS IT PLZ.

 

[Son Ryuto Uzumaki]

Please explain the point of this I don't get whats plausible or whats not

The point of this thread, or theory, isn't merely the mark, but why Law resents Doflamingo the way he does.

Yeah, I'm not saying there is a lot behind this theory, just a thought I had after seeing time frames and Doflamingo's Jolly Roger. It is highly dependent upon my extrapolation of the meaning/origin of the slash on the Jolly Roger.

What I'm asking is if you, among others, view my hypothesis that Law's grudge for Doflamingo stems from the death of someone close to Law through a betrayal by Doflamingo. Sorry that I wasn't overly straight forward.

 

[Peace Maker]

well probably its because just like rebecca, luffy, sabo, ace. and law likke they had the same sH*tty lives when they were kids you know those noble ugly bastards. cos if thats the case then now we know why law saved luffy back in marrineford.

my theory was about law's mark and doflamingo mark's , like for example... check it out , there is "/" in doflamingo and in law is a complete another story , but here is an hint , both are smiling (and ofc the / in the doflamingo's mark) and law's crew is: the heart pirates , right? meaning that law has something to do in this story and about the marks and him being the Surgeon of Death HAS TO MEAN SOMETHING YOU KNOW? and ... law mentioned a name of a woman , right? that also must mean something! everything must mean something .

'The Surgeon of Death' is merely a nickname he was given, most likely because he's a doctor. The Heart Pirates do indeed have the same mark as the Donqoixote pirates, because, yes, they were once part of the said crew. It is unknown, though, if they were directly part of the Donquixote Pirates, or just allied with them in some way or another. Either way, it is clear and obvious that Law and Doflamingo have some kind of history to their relationship, and they both knew each other in the past.

Law did mention a name, 'Cora', but it has not yet been confirmed if it is a woman or not. Most likely a woman, though. If my memory serves, Law mentioned that he had to avenge 'that person', which is probably this 'Cora', so we can assume that Doflamingo killed her, or him for that matter. There's really not much mystery to it, if you think logically enough.
