Law & Kid’s Shocking Fate in One Piece, Will They Return?

by

Summary

  • Law saw the end of his journey on Winner Island after being ambushed by Blackbeard.
  • Shanks ended the dreams of the Kid Pirates by defeating Kid and his crew.
  • Uncertainty looms over Law and Kid’s fate, with fans speculating they may return in future arcs.

The conclusion of the Wano arc marked a significant shift for One Piece. When the main pirates from the Worst Generation united to overthrow the Emperors Kaido and Big Mom, Luffy was elevated to the status of Emperor too. However, his position seemed comparable to that of Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid, as indicated by their identical bounties worth 3 Billion Berries and an equal number of Poneglyph inscriptions.

In contrast to Luffy, whose story continued to unfold with greater triumph and notoriety post-Wano, the paths of Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid diverged in an unclear direction within One Piece. This article will delve into their outcomes and speculate on potential comebacks for these characters in the series.

Law Saw The End Of His Journey On Winner Island

Blackbeard Ambushed The Heart Pirates

First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 1064, “My Only Family”
Verdict Blackbeard Destroys The Heart Pirates

At the conclusion of Wano, a significant shift occurred in the travels of the three primary pirate groups from the Worst Generation. Equipped with three copies of Road Poneglyph inscriptions apiece, they embarked on a quest to locate the enigmatic Man Marked by Flames, who is said to possess the final Road Poneglyph himself. This suggests that he is the last hurdle each pirate crew must overcome to uncover the legendary One Piece treasure.

The Heart Pirates sailed away from Wano using their Road Map, eventually reaching Victory Island. However, upon arrival, they encountered the Blackbeard Pirates who launched an attack on them, igniting a fierce battle between the two groups, with Law and Blackbeard at the forefront. This battle saw constant shifts in momentum, but Law demonstrated remarkable resilience using his Ope Ope no Mi’s Awakened state. Despite this, Blackbeard’s cunning strategies combined with his two immensely powerful Devil Fruits ultimately secured him the victory.

Initially, the Blackbeard Pirates annihilated the Heart Pirates team and their vessel, the Polar Tang. But, with no other options left, Bepo consumed one of Chopper’s Rumble Balls, transforming into his fearsome Sulong form, and managed to flee with Law towards the sea. Since then, neither of them has been spotted, leading fans to speculate that they will reappear during a specific arc within the Final Saga. Some speculate that Bepo and Law might even show up on Elbaf.

At the moment, they find themselves in a tricky situation as they are utterly vulnerable on the open sea. The best course of action for them might be returning to Wano, as it is the nearest known island to Winner Island, even though navigating through its fortified boundaries would prove challenging. Consequently, some spectators believe that Law and Bepo will re-emerge in the narrative by swimming to an island where they can lie low, which could potentially be Elbaf as well.

Shanks Ended The Dreams Of The Kid Pirates

Kid Was Sent To The Depths of the Ocean

First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 1079, “The Emperor’s Crew, The Red Hair Pirates”
Verdict Shanks And His Allies Destroy The Kid Pirates

Much like the Heart Pirates, the Kid Pirates departed from Wano’s waters and set course for a dramatically distinct destination than their fellow crews. In contrast to them, Eustass Kid had a specific aim during his voyage – to attain the pinnacle of strength by vanquishing numerous Yonko, with the next target on his list being none other than the legendary Red Haired Shanks, following his victory over Big Mom and Law.

In contrast to his predicament in Wano, he found himself in a situation where he could join forces with another formidable ally possessing an Awakened Devil Fruit to vanquish an Emperor. Unlike then, Shanks was likely much more powerful than Big Mom had been, and this time it was just him and his crew facing off against the Red Hair Pirates, their allies, and the Giants of Elbaf. The ensuing battle was heavily skewed in favor of Shanks, culminating in a decisive victory that may have resulted in the demise of every member of the Kid Pirates.

They say you Emperors are invincible? What a joke! There’s no such thing!

In the series, Shanks finally entered battle for the first time when he utilized his Divine Departure technique to defeat Eustass Kid. The last glimpse of the captain was him being thrown into the sea as his ship exploded, a fate particularly dangerous for users of Devil Fruits. This event has sparked much speculation among fans that Kid may have perished and will not reappear in the series.

There’s a developing sentiment within the community that without a corpse, a death can’t be fully verified. This notion is reinforced by the unclear text about his ultimate fate. Given that this incident occurred near Elbaf’s waters, it’s plausible that Kid could still be alive and potentially imprisoned on the island somewhere. Alternatively, if this theory doesn’t fit, he might have been captured aboard Shanks’ ship instead, as some suspect Shanks to be more complex than his appearance suggests.
