Law has always been a hugely popular character in One Piece, and of course, he has his own novel, which right now, isn’t available for English fans.

The Plot Of The Law Novel

A Novel About Law’s Journey

This Law novel, One Piece: Law’s Story, is technically not a canon novel, as it is not supervised by the mangaka of the series, Eiichiro Oda. Instead, it is written by Shusei Sakagami. So fans should take the story with a grain of salt and enjoy it for it is, especially since it doesn't go against anything stated in the manga.

Its initial Japanese release was back in 2020, which means this English release is 5 years overdue. The story, of course, focuses on the character of Trafalgar Law, a member of the Worst Generation. This Novel tells Law’s story from his youth years all the way to when he becomes the captain of the Heart Pirates and fearsome pirate known as the Surgeon of Death.

If used by someone wise, the Ope Ope no Mi can fulfill a dream humanity has had since ancient times. That is why many call it the ultimate devil fruit. - Donquixote Doflamingo

This novel is split into 4 chapters, and in total, the novel has 272 pages, making this a long and interesting read for any fans of this character.

This novel also has a sequel, known as One Piece novel Law: The Hour of Kikoku. If this first Law novel is released, fans can only hope the sequel is also eventually published in English as well for all fans of Law to enjoy.
