Law was way stronger than you think in Dressrosa!

During the raid on Onigashima, Law has achieved Devil Fruit Awakening, allowing him to create and adhere a miniature room to his weapons, which then gain the ability to harmlessly bypass anything solid and directly operate on the insides of whatever they may phase through. This directly addresses one of the fruit’s biggest weaknesses, which is the stationary nature of its field of range.

In Chapter 1039 Law uses an ultimate attack that greatly injures Big Mom and creates a large hole in Onigashima as well as a large crater near the Flower Capital.

Some people now think Law got buffed up a lot in his fight against Big Mom because of his showing against Doflamingo. But they remove all context from it, such as:

• Law’s mental state was terrible given personal history. This was shown to be extremely important, enough so that it’s been featured multiple times including when Nami mentioned it explicitly when Iceberg asked her if they were really going after CP9 after getting destroyed, and she replied that the only reason that happened is because they were confused and upset regarding Robin. Not being right mentally is devastating in One Piece, especially for someone like Law who is cold and calculating.

• Most anime show Anger as a power up but it really doesn’t work like that. Luffy hasn’t won against any villain who was stronger than him before because he was angry but due to his Willpower. The same thing could have happened with Carrot in her fight against Perospero and Ace against Blackbeard. A Great Example is when in Gintama, Gintoki the Mc fought against someone he thought had killed his mother figure and got destroyed but when he fought again with a calm mind, he Won.

• Law also hadn’t come to Dressrosa with the intention to fight Doflamingo. He wasn’t in the slightest prepared to go against Doffy and Fujitora, an ADMIRAL (Someone who could have then defeated Doffy, Law and Luffy alone) at the same time. Even the second time, Doflamingo was being helped by Trebol.

• If that fight had happened in a vacuum where it’s just Law vs Doflamingo with no emotional trauma surrounding Corazon, Law does much better and could even win. At the very least, we know his Haki isn’t much weaker than Doflamingo’s because he moved him with Shambles, and Law stated on the rooftop that he can only use aspects of his ability when his Haki is superior which is why he couldn’t teleport the Yonkos around. It may also have worked against Doflamingo because he wasn’t prepared for it since he thought that Law was down.

Most of the Law downplay I have seen after his recent fight were not talking all this into account. He’s always been Luffy’s rival, and that’s always been shown by Oda. Him and Kid are gonna be the closest to Luffy in the Endgame whether you like it or not.

People think he got buffed up a lot in his fight against Big Mom when that’s not completely True. Just like how Luffy went from getting one-shot to going toe-toe with Kaido in only 2 weeks by training, Law also trained off-screen and got stronger. Of course it would have been great to see some of his training but Oda mostly didn’t have the time to show it.

Another thing is that Law truly shines in a team battle but that doesn’t mean he can’t take down a opponent 1v1. I won’t deny the fact that his growth is much harder to digest compared to Luffy’s and he did get a plot boost but you just gotta accept the fact that Oda cares more about the narrative rather than power scaling and Law and Kid will always be the closest to Luffy since they are his main rivals. It’s not Big Mom’s that’s weak, Kid and Law are just that strong.

X-Drake’s Secret Plan of Pirate Alliance

In the Flower Capital, Law has been captured and Hawkins seems eager to get to work. However, X Drake is apparently acting strangely. Hawkins questions Drake on what he was thinking about. Drake dismisses it, but why?

This might be due to Drake having plans regarding Law and Luffy, something that Oda already mentioned in the Vivre Cards, stating that Drake had a particular interest in their alliance. This could suggest he’s already been planning to team up with them in future. Moreover, Drake is probably greatful for Joker’s defeat. Not farfetched to believe he did bare a grudge for Joker killing his father. He never seemed to hate his father, at least we don’t know that for sure, but he may feel indebted to Luffy and Law. Perhaps, X Drake will repay a debt if he is greatful about Joker’s takedown. Again, I think it’s likely he will be the link between Wano and the Navy.

Who Is Going To Be Captured?

Fukurokuju's words might very well come true. "Capture one of them, no matter who it is, the torture will reveal us all their plans..." This scenario is highly likely to happen, someone among the pirate alliance will get captured and tortured. It would explain and show us what happened to Killer and possibly we could see other members of Kidd pirates in torture chambers.

The question, like the title says - Who is going to get captured and tortured?
It could be almost anyone aside from Luffy and those who aren't present in Flower Capital currently. There are few candidates who have the highest chances to get captured and those are the ones that were shown right after Fukurokuju said those words - Zoro, Sanji, Usopp and possibly Law.

Zoro is already injured and with Kyoshiro there it's not an unthinkable scenario that he gets captured. He could possibly handle the torture the best among all candidates but still it would show it's horrors. It might have been foreshadowed even, back in Ebisu town, when people told him he should smile more, he might be fed a Smile fruit... However, he is currently saving Hiyori so it might also not be him.

Usopp getting captured is something likely and theory about his capture already exists. He would be put to a test as a brave man of the seas. We all expect him to spill the beans fast and he even agreed in discussion with Nami but the opposite might happen. He is currently saving O-Toko so it also might not be him.

Sanji is what looks to me the most likely candidate because he isnt saving anyone currently and while Usopp fled the scene with O-Toko it seems like Zoro is fleeing too with Hiyori while Sanji remains in the clash with X-Drake and gets worked up because he called him a Vinsmoke. I expect the torture to trigger whatever modifications that werent triggered when Judge did those experiments on his children.

Another likely candidate could be Law. It seems like he is in a helpless situation considering that Hawkins has life links with his crew and Bepo's location is unknown... I expected him to get captured back then together with Luffy but it's not too late and Hawkins said he would be joining the prison soon. Not sure what to expect from Law's torture...

Strawhat will leave Wano before being captured by Kaido!

Now that Luffy was one-shotted by Kaido,  I believe he will realize that in his current state he has no chance of beating of Kaido. So Luffy needs a power up and some kind of confidence boost, this is why I believe Luffy will need to leave Wano for that. Now to start with, I don’t think Luffy will be captured by Kaidou. I think Luffy will escape Kaidou either with Law or Shutenmaru’s help. The best way I think this will be possible is Law using Room to switch places with Luffy once he is being taken in by Kaidou’s underlings. This is where Luffy’s sword comes in handy. Since Luffy is wearing a sword, Law can switch places with his sword. Thereby he will be having his weapon with him in prison.  feel that after Luffy wakes up, he will see that Tama is in really bad health and Chopper does not have the skill within him to heal her. Seeing her in that state will make Luffy realise that all this was his fault and he needs to do something to save her. I think here is where Inuarashi will tell Luffy that Tama can be saved if he takes her to MARCO the Phoenix. I believe Marco will be able to heal Tama with his “Flames of Rebirth”. Also, note that the cat which he heals is also named Tama. Could this be a foreshadowing that he will heal her?

Going to Marco will serve quite a few purposes:

1. Tama will get healed. The first one is obvious because that is the main reason for the visit.

2. Luffy will see Ace’s grave. Since Marco is in the same Island Ace and Whitebeard are buried, it stands within reason that Luffy will go to see Ace’s grave. I believe that seeing Ace’s grave will strengthen his resolve to pursue his dream. Just like it did for Sabo.
3. Luffy will fulfill Ace’s promise to Tama. Since Luffy has taken Tama to another Island, he will partly fulfill Ace’s promise to her.

4. Luffy will get a power-up. I believe once there Luffy will find someone who I think will teach him how to awaken his Devil Fruit. It could be someone from Whitebeard Pirates, maybe Marco himself, or a former Roger Pirate like Scopper Gaban.
5. Chopper’s dream. I believe seeing Marco curing Tama, will give Chopper a clue about his dream to make his miracle cure for all diseases.

6. Edward Weevil. One of the most important things about this arc is Luffy’s encounter with the final Shichibukai. I think Weevil will somehow find out about where Marco is by someone following Luffy in his journey to Marco. In any case, I think he will arrive there after Luffy learns the theory in awakening his Devil Fruit.
Weevil will then obliterate everyone around and since Marco is healing Tama, I think he cannot take part in the battle. So it will be up to Luffy to stop him. In this fight, I think Luffy will learn how to use awakening or any other power up.

7. New Allies to war. After this battle, I think Weevil will become a friend of Luffy. And might even help in the battle against Kaidou. Because personally, Weevil does not seem to be bad. It’s only because of his mother that he was killing the former Whitebeard allies.
Also since Luffy beats Weevil and saves the people of the Island, Marco might also join the crew.
Further, Luffy could meet Gekko Moriah here. He could have been the one who might have tipped Weevil about Luffy being here. And in the distraction, he would try to steal Ace and Whitebeard’s bodies. But ultimately with his plans in ruin and seeing how Luffy is prepared to fight Kaidou, he might join the alliance as well.
Anyway, this could be in a way Luffy making a lot of allies. Since Luffy will have 2 weeks time, I think will be the best way Luffy can get stronger and get a few allies to his war against Kaidou. Also since it is Law who gets captured, he could secretly convince Kidd to join his alliance in the prison.

What happens to other Supernova alliances?

Well it is a theory i have been thinking for a lot of time. What will happen to the Apoo Hawkins Kidd alliance? Will they beat Kaido or be defeated by him? Well i think that it is really possible that they will be defeated by Kaido so that Luffy and Law will be those to beat him.

After kidd and the others are defeated i think that Kidd is going to form an Alliance with Blackbeard kill shanks and resulting in Kidd becoming a yonko this will happen like a lot of time after law and luffy beat kaido.

Law and luffy's alliance is sure to be enhanched with some other alliance members like Gecko moriah, Lucci and CP9 but i think the most possible character to join the alliance will be X-Drake. So let's say that the Alliance is composed of Luffy Law and X-Drake and they beat kaido what happens next?I think thay it results in Law becoming a yonko with X-Drake becoming his 1st Commander (as Luffy is not interested in becoming a Yonko).

Right after that luffy will oppose big mom with his crew only, beat her and he will have no choice but become a yonko. Then the whole incident i mentioned with shanks and the new Yonkos will be Blackbeard, Law, Luffy and Kidd. People don't nominate themselves Yonkos they earn that title by getting more power and more territory, Blackbeard went to each and every single island was under whitebeard flag and he made them all his new territory that's why he was counted as the new Yonko. with what happened in the last chapter and If luffy accept the new subordinate will be one step closer to the Yonko, he may even turn it to be Goko (5 emperors).
