* FaceDeathWithDignity:As typical of a D., though he doesn't die, Law doesn't cower in the face of certain death.
** When Doflamingo gives him a last chance to surrender and perform the operation on him for immortality, Law mocks him and tells him to piss off.

** When Doflamingo gave him a last chance to surrender and perform the operation on him for immortality, Law mocks him and basically tells him to piss off.

** [[spoiler:After Blackbeard destroys his ship and has him cornered, Law doesn't beg for his life even for a second and basically tries to ensure his crew get off safely in cost of him.]]

** After his and Kids' win over Big Mom, while Kid is furious he didn't [[GloryHound become an Emperor for his win]], Law takes his massive bounty increase in stride and doesn't let it go to his head.

** That being said, he also gets the positive version of this, in a big way. Despite being rivals in their search for One Piece, Law and his crew risk their lives to rescue Luffy from Marineford. This act of bravery earns Law Luffy's trust and admiration, leading to their eventual alliance. Together, they succeed in defeating Doflamingo and his empire, a goal Law had been pursuing for thirteen years. Throughout their battles, Luffy and his allies save Law's life multiple times. This alliance proves to be fruitful, as they ultimately defeat Kaido and Big Mom's alliance in Wano, gaining access to the former Emperors' Road Ponelgyh rubbings and increasing their bounties and reputations. Although only Luffy is named Emperor, their joint efforts and Law's sacrifices are instrumental to their success.

* SacrificialLion: His [[spoiler:CurbStompCushion against Blackbeard despite defeating Big Mom with Law and Luffy's victory over Kaido reminds the audience that the remaining Supernovas are far from invincible.]]

* TaughtByExperience: As Law progresses in the New World, he grows as a fighter and improves during his adventures. [[spoiler:He manages to awaken his Devil Fruit powers and plays a vital role in helping [[DefeatingTheUndefeatable defeat Big Mom]] alongside Kid. As a testament of his growing strength, during his fight with Blackbeard and his officers, Law manages to break away from Doc Q's Sick Sick Fruit powers by using Haki to break away from the illness thanks to a strong enough Haki being enough to cancel Devil Fruit powers, something he mentions he learned from fighting Big Mom and Kaido. Even though he is defeated by Blackbeard, unlike [[CurbStompBattle Eustass Kid being brutally defeated by Shanks]], [[CurbStompCushion Law fares better and deals substantial damage to the Emperor]], leaving Blackbeard notably worn out after the fight.]]

Over the TimeSkip, he's become one of the [[Characters/OnePieceSevenWarlordsOfTheSea 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 [[Characters/OnePieceDonquixotePirates 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 [[Characters/OnePieceDonquixoteDoflamingo Donquixote Doflamingo]], whom he holds in contempt for the death of Corazon. Despite many grueling battles, the alliance manages to defeat Doflamingo in Dressrosa.

He has a bounty of 3,000,000,000 Berries.[[note]]His first known bounty is 200,000,000 berries. During the TimeSkip, it rose to 440,000,000 million berries before being frozen as a Warlord. After the events of Dressrosa, his bounty is reinstated and rises to 500,000,000 berries, the second highest among the Supernovas (behind [[Characters/OnePieceMonkeyDLuffy Luffy]]). Then, following Kid and his defeat of Big Mom during Act III of the Wano arc, his bounty increases to 3,000,000,000, tying him for first place among the Supernovas with Kid and Luffy (whose own bounty similarly increased for his defeat of Kaido).[[/note]]

* AFatherToHisMen: Law deeply cares about his crew. During Egghead when [[spoiler:Blackbeard has Law on the verge of death after stealing his Poneglyph rubbings and destroying his submarine, the only thing on Law's mind is the safety of his crew]].

* EvilMentor: Not Law himself, but he acquired his combat skills from the Donquixote Family, who taught him swordsmanship (Diamante), martial arts (Lao G) and marksmanship (Gladius).

* InUniverseCatharsis: In the Dressrosa arc, he helps settle the score with [[spoiler:Donquixote Doflamingo, the one who killed Corazon when Law was a child]]

** Also applies to Rudd, a police officer on Swallow Island who gets along well with Law and excitedly shows Wolf a newspaper featuring the latest exploits of the Heart Pirates in the North Blue.
* InUniverseCatharsis: In the Dressrosa arc, he helps settle the score with [[spoiler:Donquixote Doflamingo, the one who killed Corazon when Law was a child]].
* IOweYouMyLife: For saving his life, Law became indebted to Corazon. [[spoiler:At the same time, he feels the freedom he obtained because of Corazon can't be repaid until he accomplishes Cora's greatest wish to stop his evil brother's madness.]]

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Law is the secondary main character of the Dressrosa arc. His desire for revenge against Doflamingo is what drives him and the Straw Hats to Dressrosa and, aside from Luffy, he's the character who drives the arc's storyline the most.

* TheMostWanted: The [[SuperpowerLottery Ope-Ope Fruit]] is stated by Doflamingo to be the "ultimate Devil Fruit" thanks to its [[SwissArmySuperpower extreme versatility]], [[SuperDoc miraculous medical applications]], and [[ImmortalityInducer ability to grant eternal youth]] ([[EquivalentExchange at the cost of its user's life]]). When it was last up for sale thirteen years ago by the Barrels Pirates, it's estimated worth was at least 5 billion berries to the Marines and other potential buyers. When combined with his own personal bounty (500 million) as of the Wano arc, this makes Law as valuable and sought after as '''Gol D. Roger himself'''.

* AloofLeaderAffableSubordinate: Laws is the aloof and stoic captain of the Heart Pirates, a crew of friendly, energetic, and silly pirates.

* AloofLeaderAffableSubordinate: The aloof captain to an entire crew of affable subordinates. While Law is TheStoic, the rest of his crew are friendly, energetic, and silly.

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: The Op-Op Fruit lets Law slice a target without truly harming or killing them, meaning he can his opponent as a shambling collection of body parts. Notably, of all the victims of this during the Punk Hazard arc, only ''one'' of them wasn't a victim of his.

* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Doflamingo severs his right arm in the heat of their battle. Doesn't stop him from grinding Doflamingo's organs to mush with his remaining hand via Gamma Knife, or grievously injuring Trebol using ''his severed arm''.]]
