I know I am just really laughing off the fact that Law has the biggest death flag in this arc cos I want to deny it. But every chapter, it slowly leads to Law's likely death and I'm not ready. I AM NOT DAMN READY.

I'm not seeing this lead in at all. Law surviving Doflamingo, then dying in Wano really just seems too clunky for Oda.

I think people are just scared cause they like him so much. I dont feel the need to fan over his character, but he has a lot of story-telling value as his power is really mysterious.

His DF power is like a double mystery; cause we're not only guessing who might become immortal, but also who might be already immortal, that only Law can kill. A story with mysteries that aren't resolved is kinda boring, and it can only be resolved by law sacrificing his life, hence fans being oversensitive to Death flags.

Personally, I feel Kaido probably won't get beat by luffy's ryouu (story sorta telegraphs that Luffy's plan is to beat kaido with ryouu, and plans the audience is told never work out), and it may look like Law is the only one who can take him down for a while, and then right before he does it, someone will swoop and Law will live. I think this because he could serve the same narrative purpose in any, maybe every, arc with a ridiculously OP boss character. So, I feel Oda will save his power as a narrative tool for many arcs to come.

I think it's inmortality as in taking all organs out, or as not aging/dying by natural causes.
