PH13 Things You Should Know About Trafalgar Law
“Law” is derived from real life pìrâ†é Edward Low. Law’s apparently infamous cruelty echoes Edward Low’s own reputation for violently torturing victims before killing them.
Trafalgar is the name of a cape in the south-west of Spain. Its name is Arabic in origin, meaning “Western Cape”. It was the site of a famous naval battle between the British and the French/Spanish fleet during the Napoleonic Wars, dubbed the Battle of Trafalgar. London’s landmark Trafalgar Square is named for the battle, as is a class of submarines in the British Royal Navy.
“Water Law”, as well his fight with Wellington, may be a reference to Waterloo, the place in where, on 18 June 1815, was fought the final battle of the Napoleonic Wars which represented the ultimate defeat of Napoleon at the hands of the Seventh Coalition. The British commander at Waterloo, Arthur Wellesley, was the duke of Wellington.
Law’s birthday, October 6th, is a reference to his name, as to can mean 10 and ro can mean 6,Torafarugā Rō. He shares his birthday with Tashigi and Bartolomeo.
When Brannew introduces the Shichibukai in the Chapter 700, Law is credited as “the mastermind behind the Rocky Port Incident“. No information about this event has been revealed so far.
His wanted poster shows Bepo appearing in the background with his head turned in the same position and stance as Usopp in Luffy’s poster.
According to the 4th Japanese Fan Poll, Law is the 10th most popular character in One Piece, making him the most popular Supernova excluding Luffy and Zoro.
In the 5th Fan Poll, Law finished in 2nd place, making him the most popular non-Straw Hat and Shichibukai.
At 26 years-old, he is the youngest individual known to ever hold a position as one of the Shichibukai.
Law uses the “smiley” style of Jolly Roger, as first seen used by his former superior Donquixote Doflamingo. But unlike Doflamingo’s smiley, his does not have a “cancel” sign across it. The smiley most likely refers to the final moments of Donquixote Rosinante, who died with a smile before he told Law to remember him smiling from that day onwards.
Buffalo mentioned that Law was in line for “Heart seat” as Doflamingo’s ally. The vacant seat was later seen in Chapter 700, along with the occupied Spade, Club and Diamond seats.
Law’s character song, which was released as a bonus song on the One Piece Log Collection – Sabaody CD is called Dr. Heart s†éáler. This is likely a reference to the hearts of 100 pirates he obtained in order to become a member of the Shichibukai or his ability Mes which he used to remove people’s hearts from their bodies.
Law’s dislike of bread is shared by Donquixote Rosinante.
