Trafalgar Law is one of the members of the Worst Generation who made his debut during the Sabaody Archipelago arc of One Piece. Barely anyone thought Law will become as important to the story as he is today but as the years go by, his significance to the story only increases.
Hailing from the North Blue, Trafalgar Law is the Captain of the Heart Pirates and before the timeskip in One Piece, he had acquired a bounty of 200 million, which is rather impressive.
Law had already earned the moniker of "The Surgeon of Death," which directly references his skill and his Devil Fruit ability. At the same time, he also has a reputation of being extremely cruel which might actually have been exaggerated. Aside from all the fame that he's achieved over the years, one of the most striking things about Trafalgar Law is his many tattoos. Seen right away during the Sabaody Archipelago arc, Law's tattoos were further explored with time, and surprisingly, every single one of them carries great significance.
Trafalgar Law's Main Tattoos
The most apparent tattoo that Trafalgar Law bears are the ones on his fingers and they spell "DEATH," with a letter on each of the fingers. On his right hand, the tattoo starts from the thumb and ends on his pinkie. On his left, it starts from the pinkie and ends on his thumb. While this tattoo might be confusing to some, it is clearly a reference to the epithet that he's received at some point in his life.
As mentioned earlier, Law is known as the "Surgeon of Death" and is feared across the world because of that. At some point in time, he likely decided to get that tattooed across his fingers on both of his hands.
Law's second most significant tattoo is one that fans got to see during the Dressrosa arc where a lot of his past was finally revealed to the fans. In typical Oda fashion, almost all of his new tattoos were connected to his past in one way or the other, starting from the one on his chest. Law bears a heart-shaped tattoo on his chest with a smiling face in the middle of it, almost exactly like the one that his Jolly Roger bears. The heart has great significance in Trafalgar Law life and connects directly to his benefactor, Donquixote Rosinante, also known as Corazon, which translates to "Heart" in Spanish.
One Piece villains that lived up to the hype
Some One Piece villains display very impressive fighting skills, while others have been greatly disappointing.
The long-running series has given Luffy plenty of challenges throughout the years. Many of these villains have exceeded their expectations, whether it's due to a strong backstory or a memorable fight. These major antagonists are highly regarded within the community.
However, there are also a few villains that feel like a letdown. They seem to have really great abilities, only to not use them properly. Sometimes it's due to a lack of screentime, or other times it's because of their lack of skill. These are the villains that fall short of the fanbase's expectations.
4 One Piece villains that surpassed their expectations
Rob Lucci
Rob Lucci wasn't playing around when he fought against Luffy in the Enies Lobby. The Straw Hat spent most of the fight on the receiving end of Lucci's attacks. He is the strongest member in CP9 history, thanks to his superhuman strength and mastery of martial arts. The man has developed such a reputation for his fighting skills that some Marines believed he could take on a Buster Call.
Luffy only won that fight because he desperately wanted to save Nico Robin, whose life was on the line. Many One Piece fans look back at Lucci very fondly since he took Luffy to his absolute limit.
Donquixote Doflamingo
Doflamingo has always been a popular character in the One Piece community, thanks to his colorful design and interesting Devil Fruit. His popularity completely blew up in the Dressrosa arc, where he finally got his chance to shine.
His tragic backstory does explain his actions, but it doesn't excuse them. After losing his World Noble privilege at a young age, Doflamingo began a life of a dangerous criminal. This is someone who brutally took out his own family members because he felt slighted by them.
The Heavenly Yaksha eventually took over the Dressrosa kingdom, ruling it with an iron fist. In order to free the citizens, Luffy had to fight him with everything he had. Doflamingo forced the Straw Hat to resort to his new Gear Fourth technique, which gave him a hard-fought victory.
Charlotte Katakuri
Whole Cake Island picked up the pace with the introduction of the Sweet Commander. In many ways, Katakuri is a mirror counterpart to Luffy. Most of his attacks directly copy the Straw Hats, but much bigger and stronger.
Ever since the One Piece timeskip began, Katakuri has given Luffy one of his hardest challenges yet, despite the latter using his Gear Fourth form. The Straw Hat desperately needed to win this fight. Otherwise, he stood no chance against the Emperors down the line.
Katakuri is unlike most One Piece villains in that he grows to respect Luffy as a fighter. After his eventual defeat, he wishes the Straw Hat good luck in defeating his mother. Many One Piece fans have greatly appreciated his change of attitude.
Kaido
The world's strongest creature has only lost seven times in his lifetime. He proves to be Luffy's biggest obstacle towards becoming the Pirate King.
Kaido has taken so much punishment during the Onigashima Raid, yet he still keeps on fighting. Most One Piece characters would be dead if they took several attacks from the Red Scabbards and the Supernovas.
Kaido has truly earned his place as the most formidable fighter in the series. He is definitely worth the hype in One Piece.
