Law's Transformation: How Did He Become A Girl?

In Chapter 1063 of the manga series One Piece, Trafalgar Law temporarily turns into a girl after being infected by the Feminization Disease, a power exhibited by the Sick-Sick Fruit, one of the many Devil Fruits acquired by the Blackbeard Pirates. This disease, spread by Doc Q, turns its victims into women, and can be countered by a strong use of Haki, as demonstrated by Law. This gender-swapped form of Law was first drawn by series creator Eiichiro Oda in 2013 as part of a non-canon series of drawings.

The 'Feminization Disease'

The "Feminization Disease" is a fictional disease that stems from the Sick-Sick Fruit or Shiku Shiku no Mi in the original Japanese. This is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to spread numerous types of diseases that can incapacitate enemies in various ways. The fruit is eaten by Doc Q, an officer of the Blackbeard Pirates, who is also known as the "Death God".

The "Feminization Disease" is a disease that turns those infected into women. It is spread by Doc Q, who infects Trafalgar Law and his crew, the Heart Pirates, in One Piece Chapter 1063. Law is able to break through the ability and turn himself back into a man by using a strong Haki, a lesson he learned during the Wano Country Arc when fighting Kaido and Big Mom. The rest of the crew is subsequently cured as Law's strong Haki built up quick antibodies.

This is not the first time a gender-swapped version of Law has appeared. Creator Eiichiro Oda drew a gender-swapped version of Law in 2013 for SBS Volume 72, and this design is largely unchanged in Chapter 1063.

Doc Q's Sick-Sick Fruit

In Chapter 1063 of the manga series "One Piece", Trafalgar Law, a male character, is temporarily turned into a woman. This is achieved by Doc Q, one of the Blackbeard Pirates, who uses the powers of the Sick-Sick Fruit, also known as the Shiku Shiku no Mi, to spread a "Feminization Disease" that turns people into women.

The Sick-Sick Fruit is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that gives its user the ability to spread various diseases with numerous effects. These diseases can be contagious and spread to multiple targets quickly. While the Sick-Sick Fruit is powerful, it is not invincible and can be countered by a strong enough display of Haki, as Law demonstrates.

Law and his crew are attacked by the Blackbeard Pirates while in a submarine, and the "Feminization Disease" turns them into women. However, Law is able to use his superior Haki to break through the Devil Fruit's powers and turn himself back into a man. The rest of his crew, lacking sufficient Haki, remain affected by the disease.

This gender-swapped version of Law is not a recent creation, as it first appeared in a non-canon drawing by series creator Eiichiro Oda in SBS Volume 72, released in 2013. In Chapter 1063, Oda brings this concept into the main story, using it as a form of fanservice and a way to showcase Law's strength and growth as a character.

While some readers may find the gender-bending trope offensive or problematic, others view it as a fun and harmless element of the story, especially since it is temporary and has no lasting consequences.

Law's superior Haki

Trafalgar Law's superior Haki is what allows him to undo the effects of the Shiku Shiku no Mi, the Devil Fruit that Doc Q uses to turn him into a woman. Law's Haki is so strong that he is able to resist the powers of the Shiku Shiku no Mi, and turn himself back into a man.

Law's Haki is not limited to this instance, however. He has displayed immense willpower by withstanding Rayleigh's burst of Supreme King Haki, which took out almost everyone in the Auction House. He was also able to withstand the clash of Supreme King Haki between Luffy and Doflamingo.

Law is an extremely skilled user of Armament Haki. He was able to bypass Smoker's smoke body and take down the Vice Admiral. He later hardened his arms to block Doflamingo's powerful and sharp Overheat string without getting injured at all.

Law is also a highly skilled user of Observation Haki. During the Raid on Onigashima, he demonstrated great skill by sensing that Luffy had been defeated by Kaidou, and also by sensing Luffy's Devil Fruit Awakening.

In addition to his Haki abilities, Law has also achieved Devil Fruit Awakening. He can conjure a variety of special room spheres that are applied directly to specific objects, meaning those rooms move alongside whatever they are currently covering. With K-ROOM, Law can adhere a miniature room to his weapons, which then gain the ability to extend as far as he desires, harmlessly bypassing anything solid. With R-ROOM, Law can create and throw a room onto a particular object and dictate a specific effect to take place inside it, such as erasing any sound made by the object.

Fan reaction to female Law

Fan reactions to female Trafalgar Law were mixed. While some fans were enamoured with the gender-swapped version of the character, others were critical of the implications of the transformation.

Some fans were quick to praise the design of female Law, with some even declaring her the "most pretty girl" in the series. The gender-swapped version of the character also inspired a wave of fan art, with one piece by u/mimscosara on Reddit going viral. This fan art featured Law in a female avatar, grabbing a juice box from the refrigerator while staring directly at the viewer. The artwork included small details that paid homage to the original character, such as the same tattoos and earrings.

On the other hand, some fans raised concerns about the implications of Law's sudden gender swap. One source noted that the transformation raised concerns about reinforcing stereotypes about gender roles, particularly in battle. There were also concerns about the underlying message that being female is a weakness, as Law's transformation was intended to weaken him in the context of the story.

Some fans defended the gender swap as a fun and harmless joke, while others acknowledged that while Oda's intentions may not have been malicious, the trope of using a disease to change a character's gender could be insensitive or offensive to some readers, particularly those with gender dysphoria.

Overall, the fan reaction to female Trafalgar Law was divided, with some celebrating the design and the opportunity for creative gender-swapped fan art, while others criticised the potential reinforcement of harmful gender stereotypes and the implication that being female is a weakness.

Law's fight with the Blackbeard Pirates

Trafalgar Law's fight with the Blackbeard Pirates takes place in Chapter 1063 of the manga series *One Piece*, created by Eiichiro Oda. Law, alone, must fight the Blackbeard Pirates and their powerful Devil Fruits. One of these is Doc Q and his Shiku Shiku no Mi, or the "Sick Sick" fruit, which he uses to infect Law and his crew, turning them into women.

Law and his crew manage to escape to Winner Island, where they fight back against the Blackbeard Pirates. Law uses his Awakened Devil Fruit powers, including techniques such as Awakened Amputation and Shock Wille, to damage Blackbeard. However, Blackbeard is able to absorb a lot of damage, and soon fights back using his Devil Fruits. Blackbeard ultimately wins the battle, destroying Law's crew and their submarine, the Polar Tang.

Law is taken prisoner, with Blackbeard intending to sell Law's Devil Fruit, the Ope Ope no Mi, or use it to gain immortality. However, Law is saved by his crewmate Bepo, who uses a drug given to him by Chopper to transform into his Sulong form, even without a full moon. In this form, Bepo is able to distract Blackbeard and his commanders, allowing him to escape with Law.
