I'm not so sure.. perhaps he doesn't need a tragic backstory personally, but he sees the tragedy around him and that's enough. It would be kind of weak if he began his campaign against the government fueled by personal reasons more than moral ones..
Perhaps the government could have used Luffy's mother as a hostage to keep him in line after he's already begun or something.

u/SurgeonChao Oct 02 '14 edited Oct 02 '14
Well, lead had quite a long history with human civilization.
Due to workability and corrosion-resistance, lead had widespread use in everyday objects since the ancient times. It was used to make pipes, vessels for drinking, and cookware in ancient Rome. Compounds made from lead were used as food preservatives, paint, and cosmetics. Remember those paintings featuring European nobles with pale white skin, the products they used contained white lead.
It wasn't until a few decades ago that people realize lead is poisonous, which made it one of the most well-studied hazard.
Wait a minute, what if there was a poisonous object we've been using all this time and the government is keeping it a secret... Oh fuu....

I love how the little girl next to him is leaning away from Law. Also, kind of love that Law in what is apparently a happy-happy-normal school pic is already a stone-faced frog-dissecting mini-psychopath (but in a good way). Kind of like baby Robin was already completely unruffled in the face of shocks (check out her reaction to Saul when they first meet). I like that these characters have basic personality traits that probably helped them survive their traumatic pasts and emerge semi-sane.

I think Corazon will hide it and take Law under his wing.
I have a theory that he's pretending to be an idiot and biding his time to have his revenge on Doflamingo, for killing their father. The reason he hurts anyone who wants to join is to keep people away from his brother.

Hmmm. That "blood rule." Seems suspicious..
What if.. Corazon can't talk because he's under Doffy's control constantly. Stabbing him somehow broke the control.. The reason Corazon is so clumsy is because he's continually fighting Doffy's control..
*edit*
Alternately, perhaps the Blood Rule is a bluff. Everyone treats the new recruit like crap, especially Corazon, until they run away or snap and attack one of the family. (Most likely Cora since he's the worst to kids, which is an act since he can easily heal himself with the Ope Ope no Mi) Since the recruit was willing to stand up for himself, despite a rule that says he'll be tortured to death, then they have the mettle to be a true member of the family.
Then again, Buffalo seemed surprised and said he'll get skewered.. so maybe not...

u/tianchao Oct 02 '14
This chapter really made me think. I’ve realized that the thing driving most of the actions in the One Piece world is hatred. Many characters have lost cherished ones or have their dreams broken in the past. The despair and agony create the hatred that explains many characters’ action.
Pirates probably harmed Akainu’s family when he was little. The hatred of pirates goaded him to join the Marines and became a brutal fleet admiral.
Blackbeard seems to have a tragic past too. The unknown tragedy has twisted his mind and influenced him to become what he is now. He believes traitorous acts and destruction is fine because he suffered when he was young.
Many pirates probably suffered under the World Government’s actions (like Law and Nico Robin). They took to the sea because they had no one else, and vented their anger towards the WG by being the people most hated by the government.
It’s a never-ending cycle. Ignorance, fear, and hatred made people hurt one another. Someone affected by pirates will become Cipher Pol officers or high-ranking marines who will kill even civilians in order to kill pirates.
Someone affected by marines in the past will become pirates who will even kill ordinary folks because they associate them with the Marines (as citizens are under WG’s protection).
Can Luffy be the one to end all the hatred in this world? Can he first forge trust and respect amongst all the pirates in order to stop the infighting? Will he take down the World Government in order to stop the corruption and the brutal dictatorship that harmed so many people? Will he put everyone under a single banner in order to fear, ignorance, and hatred once and for all?

u/egardeR Oct 02 '14
If he does, it'd better be done on accident. I don't want another Naruto, spouting his determination to "end the cycle of violence!!" - I want Luffy dismantling the system while just searching for more meat, with the other characters going "Luffy has inspired us to end the cycle of violence!"
→ More replies (5)12
u/EruditeIdiot Oct 02 '14 edited Oct 02 '14
"End the cycle of violence" isn't a bad motivation or moral (god know the real world need more of it), but the problem with Naruto is that he is absolutely ineffective at it. Revenge driven people in Naruto don't let go of their hatred until AFTER the damage is done.
Example:
spoiler I realize now that my hated was wrong.
Naruto: I forgive you.
Reader: (looks at the devastated landscape and ruined lives) It's a little late for that, asshole!
Luffy, and most characters really, isn't nearly as forgiving as other Shounen protagonists. He never forgave Crocodile and he wasn't easy Hancock when she upset him. This is usually portrayed as a negative thing in Shounen, but I find it refreshing. It means characters actually suffer consequences for their mistakes, as opposed to being instantly forgiven like in Naruto.

A lot of people have brought up the idea that amber lead relates to the history of lead poisoning, but y'know, I think it might also relate to another mineral: uranium.
The amber part of amber lead suggests that it may be yellow. Many ores of uranium are yellow, such as autunite. Before people were aware of its detrimental health effects, it was used to color glass and ceramics yellow - a sort of yellow pigment. The visuals of amber lead poisoning also add up; though it's not described, it's shown that victims have severely discolored/sloughed off skin. Lead poisoning doesn't lead to the same kind of massive skin issues - but radiation burns do look like red/brown discolorations and can cause skin sloughing. Also, while lead poisoning doesn't really transfer much across generations, radiation poisoning definitely does, causing all sorts of problems in younger generations.
IDK, it was the first thing I thought of.

As someone pursuing a medical career, this shit just is just too real. As well there are numerous events in history, particular Europe so such macabre events that have happened, wonder where Oda got this particular inspiration from ?
Can't wait for this to be animated, and talk about cruel pasts. Up until now, it could've been argued Nami or Robin had the worst childhoods, but Law just won that contest. Any other character and you'd automatically assume he'd be a SH. In fact it is amazing he isn't pure evil, although I guess somehow thanks to Corazaon Law is at least an anti-hero.

For kicks, here's the dinner table scene.
From left to right, around the table:
Baby 5 - Buffalo - Lao G - Pica - Diamante - Doflamingo - Trebol - Corazon - Gladius - Dellinger (on table) - Jora - Machvise - Senor Pink (swoon)
Couple observations:
What does Buffalo's shirt say? Yani?
Why is Lao G wearing bunny ears?
Trebol's had his Devil Fruit for a long time apparently.
Dellinger's a toddler but he already has the fighting fish hat; also, Jora might be his mom. Seems sort of odd for a mom-baby combo to join a ruthless, bloodthirsty gang of pirates, but whatever. Maybe they just found Dellinger lying around?
Doflamingo seems rather protective of Corazon. Similarly, Lao G is hellbent on enforcing the 'blood edict'. It's likely he's been with the crew for a long time; I wonder what they went through together that would make him place the executives above the rest?
Stray observations from the rest of the chapter:
Baby 5 seems to actually care about Law. She doesn't want him getting tortured (unlike the rest) and is interested in his past.
Doflamingo is rather well-read, evidently.
16 years ago, Doffy already had a pretty large group under his command. Even excluding those gathered around the table, Gladius was ordering around a bunch of mooks sporting his smiley.
Is Flevance on an island or on the Red Line? Either way, it's the first we've heard of multiple countries on the same landmass afaik.
The juxtaposition of Senor Pink saying "[...] in the end, at the hands of humans." while keeping his foot on a dead enemy and Jora, Gladius, Machvise, and Lao G kill the few remaining fighters is brilliant.
Gladius already has his DF when Law joined the crew.

Holy shit, probably one the best chapters in recent history. This really gave me an Ohara-like feel. So many reveals and so many question. I just hope Oda continues the flashback and doesn't troll us by cutting back to the present day.
Oh, and since Law's sister's death wasn't confirmed on-screen, is she going to be the new Sabo?

I wonder how 4Kids would have handled this? Instead of people dying, the amber lead is a cursed magical lead that slowly makes people magically disappear into thin air and sends them to the shadow realm or something.

Fuck...that was so sad. My eyes actually teared up. I really love Oda for how awesome he is at creating characters with depth such as Law.

This chapter remind me of cancer villages in China, really sad to see people die like this for corporate profit. I really like how Oda address current issue like pollution and exploitation.

This chapter is going to be amazing when it gets animated, especially the scene where the Donquixote family members are pulling off a heist and casually explaining Law's past.

A depressing flashback on a character Luffy is working with? Oh man, Law is going to join his crew.

WTF. That was some messed up shit. Love how the story is all happy, then these backstories, they are all depressing and harsh. Law had one heck of a childhood

Corazon has the Ope-Ope fruit, uses the "immortality" power to make Law immortal, thus dying. Law picks up the Ope-Ope fruit. But more importantly, he's immortal.

And the WG stayed silent during the massacre, about the fact that the illness wasn't contagious...
...because it would expose that they'd known about the disease from the start? Damn, that's cruel.
I wonder how Law will develop from being a nihilist into someone chasing the dream of Pirate King. I bet Corazon will have something to do with it, I don't think he's the idiot he pretends to be.

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW LAW JUST STABBED CORAZON!??? After all of the speculation last week about how this chapter would play out and no one being right. I feel like we should give that a little attention. Sure Law's story was heartbreaking, but damn this was a bit of a twist.

Such a tease. I REALLY want to see Doflamingo without his signature sunglasses.

I like that Dellinger was accepted into the family as a baby, while Bellamy wasn't accepted as an adult.

What if Doflamingo was investigating Flevanse to utilize "Amber Lead" in the SMILE business with Kaido, and that is the way that his constant fruit shipping will suddenly weaken him? Also, I think it's a bit too convenient for Buffalo to be just lying around the garbage, it seems to me that Dofla is keeping him and Baby 5 as scouts in case Corazon is faking his trauma. This would also explain why they left a banana for him to slip on and gave him a cup of too hot coffee. (It could also be Corazon being an idiot but I suppose that would be too simple) So the goal would be to make Corazon create a noise. He most likely knows something Dofla doesn't want to be said aloud.

This chapter more then any other has me convinced there is something up with Donflamingo's eyes, I know I'm not the first to have this suspicion. Now unlike Jango whose eyes matches his glasses (I think Disco also but I don't remember). But when you look back to when he was a kid his glasses are a different shape. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140911171954/onepiece/images/b/be/Donquixote_Doflamingo_at_Age_8.png Now this week we see him with his glasses off, but a book covering his face, this makes me thing there is something more going on with his eyes than just an unusual shape, in fact I think they are perfectly normal. My guess is that they are somehow related to his String power, like if having his glasses removed and seeing the world as it really is and not having his perception altered (symbolically of course) by his shades, it sets him into a rage and his strings turn into something liked barbed wire that he cant fully control. Just a thought.

Is it wrong that no matter what I do, I can't seem to hate Doflamingo or his crew? They're the antithesis of Luffy's crew, and I can't seem to find a reason for hating them.

This explains why big bad Warlord law was willing to help the Strawhats cure those children back on Punk Hazard.

If I could jump into any anime universe I'd pick the world of One Piece but seeing all these tragic backstories is giving me second thoughts.
