Trafalgar D. Water Law, also known as Trafalgar Law and Surgeon of Death, is a character from the One Piece series.
== Charactah Account ==
Law is the captain of the Heart Pirates and one of the eleven pirates dubbed with the moniker "Supernova". He's a very laid-back person, and while his speech is very polite, he has no problem with taking mocking jabs at people or giving them the middle finger. Law has eaten the Op-Op Fruit (Ope Ope no Mi), which allows him to create a spherical area wherein he can freely manipulate the objects inside, be it splitting them apart without permanently damaging them, levitating things into the air and moving them like telekinesis, or teleporting objects around. He gladly accepts new people to join his crew, and is also careful to deny any undeserved credit, though he does not like being ordered around at all.
Over the Time Skip, he's become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a feat he seems to have achieved by handing over 100 pirates' hearts to the Government. It is also revealed that he was the only survivor of the North Blue country Flevance and a member of the Donquixote Family. After an encounter in Punk Hazard, Law forms an alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates, an act that revokes his status as a Warlord, to take down Kaido. However, his main target is Kaido's ally "Joker", AKA Donquixote Doflamingo, whom he holds in contempt for the death of Corazon. Despite many grueling battles, the alliance manages to defeat Doflamingo in Dressrosa.

== Trivia ==
* Law's surname, Trafalgar, was taken from cape Trafalgar in the south-west of Spain. 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.
* Law's full name, Water Law, when taken together with his fight against Wellington, may be a reference to Waterloo, the place where, on June 18, 1815, final battle of the Napoleonic Wars was fought, 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 wanted poster shows Bepo appearing in the background with his head turned in the same position and stance as Usopp in Monkey D. Luffy's poster.
* In the 7th Fan Poll, Law placed 5th, making him the most popular non-Straw Hat character.
** In the 4th poll, he placed 10th.
** In the 5th fan poll, he placed 2nd, making him the only character to place 2nd who is not Zoro, who has placed 2nd in every other poll.
** In the 6th poll, he placed at 4th.
* At 26 years old, he is the youngest individual known to ever hold a position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
* 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.
* Law's character song, which was released as a bonus song on the One Piece Log Collection - Sabaody CD is called "Dr. Heart Stealer". This is likely a reference to his ability Mes, which he uses to remove people's hearts from their bodies.
* Law's reaction to his sister dying is similar to Luffy's breakdown when his brother died.
* Law's escape from the attack on Flevance almost mirrors the actions of real-life pirate Francois L'Olonnais, who was shipwrecked and attacked by Spaniards. L'Olonnais covered himself in the blood of his crew and hid amongst their dead bodies in order to survive. Francois also famously cut out the heart of a Spanish hostage to intimidate the other hostages into telling him a safe escape route. This somewhat resembles Law's act of cutting out a hundred pirate hearts to become a Warlord.
* Law currently has the highest bounty of any non-user of Haoshoku Haki.
