Why I Love Trafalgar D. Water Law

Let me just say that I’m actually not a huge fan of one piece. I don’t dislike it and I actually really like most of the stories, characters, animation, music and pretty much everything about One Piece. I just never got particularly attached to it. One Piece was a show I could enjoy without actually being invested in... anything. Excpet   Nami, I could never bring myself to like her and I only partially know why. Anyway I pretty much stopped watching after What happened at Impel Down- you know what- and didn't get back on the wagon until very recently. I had nothing to watch, and had pretty much gorged myself on the awesome mindless fluff that is Future Card Buddyfight. I thought “hey I love action adventure shounen anime, I’ve seen and finished almost all of them from Rave Master to Law of Ueki to both versions of HunterXHunter. Why not give One Piece another look?”. And It.Was.Worthit! I still don't like Nami, o was still so-so about everything else and Robin was still Best Girl. The I got to Punk Hazard, oh what joy was that arc after all the training and the “will the just meet all ready! OMG do we need to go through this again!” that was Fishman Island. Smoke was back and awesome, Ceasare was a joy, even the fucking name Punk Hazard was cool and the setting lived up to my own hype. The there was Law... then there was Law. The last time we say him he’d been putting Luffy back together and before that we’d got a glimpse of his greatness on Sabody - I know I’m spelling that wrong-. Everything about Law is badass, from his character design, to his voice acting, to his powers, to the his badass cursed long sword. Law was very cool older guy trope from every shounen anime i’d ever seen rolled into one with a pimpin coat and hat to match. Even the opening shows him standing above Luffy with Luffy looking up to him like he’s someone we should care about and take seriously. He’s so formidable Luffy thinks he’s someone worth looking up to. A spot reserved for very few. And then that whole image is ruined by the cluster fuck that is the actual Trafalgar D Water Law. The actually law is an antisocial, paranoid, wreck with terrible luck, and a habit of over planning things to the point that it inevitably blows up in his face. He is perpetually grouchy and a surprisingly picky eater. And I love that, I love how off model they went with the actually personality of Law. He like the living image of the hot girl tripping as she tries to flirt with people. He tries so hard to come off as cool and badass that its kind of hilarious when he actually has to act and immediately just ditz around. In Laws actually screen time, his win lose rate is comically depressing  compared to other characters. He always tries to plan three steps ahead but that causes him to be completely thrown out of whack the moment step two doesn't playout the way he though it would. In the end he either gets help to fight the big bad or doesn't fight them at all. Luffy carries him for most of the second part of dressrosa and her just goes along with the Ninja-Mink-Samurai- Pirate alliance for some plan that will probably fail or because he has nothing better to do. It just kind of nice to see such a weird mishmash of character traits form a show that usually has very guy either be too badass to exist or a joke character. Though its happened with the past before with characters like Buggy of even Doflamingo-  do I didn’t take seriously at first because of how he dresses- its great to see the opposite happen a really cool powerful character being shown to be kind of a lame antisocial weirdo. 

Me when i’m on my deathbed: Are… Are my ships canon?
