Author’s note: This is a reincarnation AU. Cora is 19 years older than Law, and his father figure, in this incarnation. Kid is Law’s classmate and extremely close friend, though no one knows if they’re in a romantic relationship.
This doujin took place after Kid and Law’s college entrance exams (the first 2 pages show them seeing the results). Click the artist link above for more pics from the story!
Together, we carrion.

a frightening era is at hand.
…dang…
This is a graphic dedicated to what I would have liked to see from Doflamingo. I do love Doflamingo as an evil monster who gives great monologues, but I think that Oda let slip a very big and unique chance to cast Doflamingo as a sympathetic villain. Doflamingo did suffer a great deal in childhood, but characters keep saying over and over again that he was just born to be evil, and we’ve never gotten clear conformation (or denial) of if Doflamingo actually cares about anyone other than himself.
So I tried my hand at rewriting things in a scene where Doflamingo actually does kill Law! Here, Doflamingo killed his father because the Celestial Dragons contacted him and told him that he and his brother could return to Mariejois if he killed his father. But instead it just cost him both his father and brother and set him even further down the path of no return. Having lost everything, he met his executives who put their faith in him and raised him to be a monster who would stop at nothing to rise to the top of the world. He took in children like Dellinger, Sugar, Monet, Baby 5 and Law because they too had lost everything and were demonized by the world, and he felt he could bring them with him to the top. And now that the ball’s gotten rolling, with everything his family has done for him, with all that they’ve sacrificed for him, and all the crimes they’ve committed, Doflamingo believes that he can only do right by them by committing atrocity after atrocity in order to take the throne of the world by force–the throne of a world that did nothing but make them suffer. So rather than planning to have Law or Cora die for him, he once simply wanted to raise Law to be his right hand so Law could triumph over the evils that destroyed him family, his home, and ostracized him from common society as a walking disease.
He’d still be a terrible villain, but rather than being motivated by selfishness and innate cruelty, he’d be motivated by living up to the expectations of the family who gave him everything when he once had less than nothing. I wrote more on this general subject–what I would have changed if I could rewrite Dressrosa–in this post. Doflamingo being a good king, Sugar being his biological daughter… Doflamingo is still a fantastic villain and character, but all this is just a light that I would have loved so much to see him cast in. Doflamingo could have been one of the most morally complex characters in the series, but as it stands he’s mostly just a massive asshole, like almost all OP villains.

I’ve never really written a review before but this chapter compelled me to try and write … something. There are two things about chapter 783 that stuck out to me the most.
One is the fact that both Luffy and Law are ready to die together / for the other. Luffy flat out told Doflamingo:
If you wanna [kill Traffy] that badly then go ahead… but only over my dead body!
Law was even more blatant, he said:
If [Luffy] falls, I too ought to die here.
Luffy being willing to die for his nakama is nothing new to us but Law on the other hand… Just in the previous chapter he mentioned his crew which made me think that in his mind, Law must have a life beyond defeating Doflamingo… He could have just let Cavendish and the others save him; he is not obligated to die when Luffy does and yet he is willing to because he feels responsible for dragging Luffy into this fight. We have always known how decent he can be but this is way more than just decent. Law has proven once again that he is an incredibly amazing and caring character. He is so awesome…
The other thing that stuck out to me is obviously… the ending. Gear Fourth. Damn. noisecannon made me get this theory that Luffy might have some kind of fire attack in store - if this proved to be true, I would dearly hope that it is Gear Fourth.
One more little thing… is Trebol dead? If he is, Doflamingo’s non-existent reaction to his fallen “nakama” pretty much confirms that Law was right about Mingo, having only used his underlings the whole time.
Gahhh, it’s been a while, guys! Sorry! Mad life distractions yo.
Anyway, I’m sure most of you saw the new colorspread that issued with chapter 775? Well, this is what came to mind when I saw it. :| As usual, no idea why.
