Call this as my way to pickup my Japanese lessons or another One Piece meta post but I find it fascinating that Doflamingo consistently describes Law's motivations for fighting him in Dressrosa as resentment and revenge. On the other hand, Law uses several terms to encapsulate why he was truly there.

Doflamingo says 逆恨み (sakaurami) which means unjustified resentment or unreasonable grudge. Law, in turn, denies this and says he is there to fulfill that person's 本懐 (hon'kai) which means (one's) long-cherished desire.

What is that desire, you may ask? Corazon shared it when he spoke for the first time with Law: His purpose/motivation/goal is to stop Doflamingo's 暴走 (bousou), which is translated as rampage.

(Later on, it was further revealed in the flashback and confirmed by Doflamingo that Corazon was trying to save Dressrosa--and the ever manipulative little shit hoped to rattle Law's feelings about screwing up in passing the message that Corazon asked him to do 13 years ago but he was able to keep his calm.)

The next time that Law thought about his motivation, specifically, the moment that he will be truly free is the time that Corazon's 思い (omoi) will be fulfilled/granted/come to fruition. 思い (omoi) could be translated differently depending on the context. For this one, it refers to desire or wish--a nod to Corazon's purpose, to stop Doflamingo.

Doflamingo didn't even scrimp with his descriptions as he used both 恨み (urami) which means resentment, grudge, malice, bitterness​; and 復讐 (fukushuu) directly translated as revenge. He even says that Law is acting like Corazon's vengeful ghost. He views Law's persistent defiance to carry out Corazon's wish as pointless, even going through the effort of saying that Law has been overtaken with his feelings--however, when he saw the Corazon at the back of Law's coat, he riddled him with bullets and even saying that both Law and Corazon's curse have ended.

Lastly, and I think this is where Law's motivation reached its reveal in full circle. He says that he lived for the past 13 years to do this and he used 討つ (utsu) which, in this context, can be translated as to attack, to destroy, to defeat, and surprisingly, to avenge. This part is up for interpretation, really.

(My two cents on it is Law's main focus on wanting to take down Doflamingo stemmed from wanting to carry out Corazon's purpose, however, I am not necessarily dismissing the part of wanting to take responsibility and avenge Cora's death.)

Ending this self-indulgent meta post with Law giving the middle finger because Toei decided to not include this badass moment. LMAO.

Ghost of you (Law Trafalgar x Reader. ft Cora-San) Part 2

'Where? Where is he? H-how can you see him? What does he look like?' Law frantically asked you. Slowly, you looked at Law, then back at the person, you pointed towards him, 'H-he's scary tall-'

'I'm not scary tall!' You screamed when he spoke, hiding even more in Law. 'IT SPOKE! CAPTAIN!' You cried in fear. Why were you seeing this? Was this a ghost?

Law looked to where you pointed; an empty hallway. His grip on your head turned shaky, but he never let go of you, 'Cora-San?' You heard your captain speak. Blinking, you looked at him and how his eyes were looking around desperately trying to meet the sight of the same person you were seeing at the moment. 'Who's he?' You whispered, 'who's Cora-San?'

'Dad-' Law whispered back, and he seemed at the verge of tears. Your eyes widened at his answer, and thar made you ease up a bit, 'I-Is he going to hurt us-'

Law shook his head, 'No! Cora-San would never. Is he still here?' You slowly let go of Law now to turn and face Cora-San; still holding on to his shirt, you looked at Law then back at Cora-San; he was tall. 'Yes, h-hes here.' You replied in a low voice.

Cora-San forward his hands making you jump and hide behind Law, to which Cora-San rolled his eyes earning a head tittle from you, 'he rolled his eyes on me, Captain!' You whined.

'You're such a baby! How are you, a pirate?' Cora-San snapped back with the same attitude, and you gasped, narrowing your eyebrows peeking from behind Law, 'I'm a map maker, excuse you that's not being a pirate And I'm not a baby. I am an adult.'

Cora-San seemed to forget that Law wasn't able to see him while you were arguing with him already; he liked how you tried to act tough when you were literally hiding behind Law to save you. Cora-San moved closer and carefully placed his hands on Law's face, making you winch when Law felt the cold shivers run down his whole body, 'his hands are on your face.' You told Law and felt your captain shivering with a sob leaving his lips.

You stood straight, 'Captain?' You pouted seeing him sobbing made your lips quiver feeling the tears filling your eyes as Law desperately tried to see his Cora-San but couldn't. 'Can you tell him that I am very proud of him and how he is grown so much?' Cora-San spoke, and you nodded, trying hard not to cry.

'H-he's saying that he's proud of you and h-how you've grown old.' Law chuckled as more tears fell on his cheek, 'I am happy to see you grow into a young man. You've helped many, and it makes me more proud of you. My sacrifice was worth it for you, kid. I wish i could hug you one more time. Just know I will always be there with you when you need me.'

You repeated word for word to what Cora-San said, and Law was in sobs hearing it all with his eyes shut. 'Cora-San, why did you leave me so early? I was so terrified for the longest time, I miss you every day, I want to see you, please always stay with me!' Law cried. Cora-San never once removed his hand from Law's head.

While you silently sobbed behind him, 'oy, you cry baby,' Cora-San called you, and you cried harder at that as you spoke back, 'I'm not a cry baby! Don't call me that!' You cried rubbing your eyes. Cora-San placed the other hand on your face as you cried, not fearing him now, 'Yes, you are a cry baby, take care of my Law. You seem stronger than you look, take care of him for me, and give him a hug for me, hug him till he's annoyed.' You nodded, still crying and wrapped your hands around Law, 'H-he says to hug you till you are annoyed from my hugs,' Law chuckled behind tears as you cried. He hugged you back, 'If it's Cora-San's words, then I'll never be tired of your hugs, I could never.'

After that day, you rarely saw Cora-San. However, Law told you a lot about him and how he met him till his last days with Law. Being a map maker and seeing how much Law wanted to see his Cora-San for even one last time made you want to help him dearly so you decide to look for a way, yet you never understand how did you managed to see Cora-San but not your captain. For the next few months you looked for information on every devil fruit that was out there and there were many of them none that could be helpful to your mission, until you read about the one devil fruit "Resu Resu no Mi" no one every came across it and few knew about it; the devil fruit that could revive the dead. It sounded risky, and you managed to gather only little information about it. I'm still not sure how it will work, but you needed to find that devil fruit.

You spent a year drawing maps of places you thought might be where you will find the devil fruit. You never told Law about this mission of yours, and one day, you were staying up all night drawing map while everyone slept a familiar feeling of feather brushed over your cheek; he was here. You wiggled the paper towards him without looking, pushing his coats feathers away as Cora-San leaned down to your leavel and stared at the stacks of papers on the table, 'what are you up to Crybaby?' He asked, and you beamed showing him a half drawn map. Your smile matched his own as you spoke, 'This is the map, I'm going to find it! I am sure I will find it.'

'Find what? A treasure?' He asked, and you shook your head, 'I want to help captain. He wants to see you. You mean a lot to him, and he saved my life once, I will be grateful for that for the rest of my life, but I want to help him back. I want him to see you, and I can only try, but I am sure I will be able to do it.'

Cora-San stared at you with tears in his eyes, 'How are you so sweet to my law?' You nervously chuckled rubbing the back of your hair, 'I try my best, I'm not much of doctor like the others so I do what I'm good at, I think the devil fruit will be found here in Minion and then we-'

'You will not go there, Law won't go there again.' You blinked, 'why not?' You asked, turning your chair towards Cora-San as he sat on the edge of your bed. 'I died there,heheh,' he said, rubbing the back of his head and your jaw hang when he said that. 'Fine, then I'll go alone, even better! Keeps my plan away from Captain.'

'LAW DOESN'T KNOW?' Cora-San fell off your bed, and you laughed at him going back to your map, 'you are funny and clumsy.' He sighed, 'at least I'm not a cry baby.'

'Hey, I'm not a cry baby! You are rude!' You huffed as you drew, and he leaned over your head, 'Yes, you are a cry baby, and you get away with it because you are the cutest one around.' You smiled at him, placing your hands on your cheek, 'Aww, you think I'm cute? That's so sweet!'

'Law thinks you are cute,' he whispered, and you hummed in confusion. 'Captain thinks Bepo is cute too.' You smiled wide at Cora-San, to which he facepalmed himself, 'you are a cry baby and slow at that.' You shrugged and went back to drawing on your map. 'So, tell me. Do you like Law?'

You nodded, 'Yes! I like captain a lot. He's really sweet and smart. I learned many things from him, plus he's always nice to me.'

Cora-San giggled, 'it's probably because you are the only one who's cute here.' You shook your head, 'I don't think so, but thanks for calling me cute. You are cute too, I don't know about that lipstick line, but I like its colour.' Cora-San pouted over how sweet you were to him, and it's been ages since he talked to anyone, yet you were here having a conversation with him in the middle of the night.

'Cora-San?' He turned to look at you 'Hum?' You smiled at him, 'Please always look after captain, okay?' He blinked at you before smiling, 'I will, kiddo.'

Few hours later you fell asleep on the table with the pen in hand, Law decided to check on you when he found you fast asleep on your table he sighed and picked you up and laid you on your bed as you mumbled something in your sleep.

Law placed the blanket over you, gently caressing your hair, and looked around, hoping to see Cora-San, 'if you are here, please look after mu darling, Cora-San.' Cora-San smiled at how both of you asked him the same thing for each other without knowing what the other wanted.

Cora-San watched as Law patted your head a few times before leaving your room and shutting the door behind him. Cora-San took his seat on your bedside and tapped your head. You turned around and grabbed his hand, hugging it to your side, causing Cora-San to chuckle. 'I'll look after you. After all, you are precious to my son.'

[trafalgar-law-ask]

I really can't wait for another sleepless night with Law. We're curious and thrilled what you gonna serve on the next chapter

Even though Law managed to "force himself to sleep", the problems don't seem to have disappeared… Now he's sure that none of what happened was a hallucination due to lack of sleep, in that case, what the hell is going on? How is it possible that Cora-san is alive, why does Mugiwara seem to be the same as two years ago and who is that mysterious person who talked about "souldreams boxes"?

[Image description: A digital drawing of Corazon and a young Trafalgar Law from One Piece on a dark navy background. Cora holds Law in his arms and smiles widely at him, his eyes closed and feathers from his coat surrounding them. Law is looking up at Cora with a troubled expression and wide eyes, his hand holding on to the fabric of Cora’s shirt tightly. A yellow circle with emanating rays halos Corazon’s head, and white rays frame Law’s head too. The colours are muted but warm, with cool shadows. The brightest colours are the yellow rays behind Cora and the yellow of Law’s eyes. /end description]

One Piece AU where Doffy and Rosi both Live, and not only that—they get to interact peacefully without worrying about the law or being on different sides:

(I just read a 200k fic tagged tragedy, okay—let me have this.)

In this fic, Doffy's not quite as bad—he is still a notorious pirate who is powerful and cruel, but it isn't to the point that the Marines go so far as to send Rosinante undercover to take him down from the inside, no.

In this fic, the DonQuixote brothers don't get to interact until Doflamingo is offered the Warlord position—strangely, or not so strangely—a lot sooner than he was in canon...

Could Rosi have something to do with this?

He absolutely did; He begged and pleaded and bartered with Sengoku so much...

They first meet when Doflamingo is brought in to officially accept his position as Warlord, and Rosinante nearly gets himself sautéed when he throws himself at Doffy if it were not for the fact that, one: slicing up a Marine Commander within moments of arriving would not do well for Doflamingo's goal of becoming a Warlord and gaining immunity, and two: moments before the Marine made contact, Doflamingo swore he heard his baby brother calling out his name—the voice was different, very obviously different, far deeper than little Rosi's ever was, and yet...

There was just something about it that rang true and familiar—in his chest, in his heart, in his soul—somehow he knew, could feel it in his bones, in every fiber of his being, that that was his little brother's voice, all grown up.

Doflamingo showed up alone, and thank god he did, thank god the only people around for this first meeting are Sengoku, Rosinante's adoptive father, and Tsuru, who was the one to escort Doflamingo in.

Thank god, because otherwise Doffy may have acted differently, put up a colder or more arrogant, more cruel front—but with just his baby brother and two soft-bellied Marines...

Doffy hugged back.

—

In this AU, Doffy and Rosi would be able to meet up whenever they want as technically-allies and neither of them would hesitate to abuse this.

He is so cute in his hoodie, like an adolescent. Tough and surly at first glance, and soft and vulnerable deep down. We guess he has a certain art talent) (Cora-san believes so as well!)

[analviel]

Headcanon Rosinante and Dragon grew up- well, not together-together, but Dragon was 14 years older than him and would probably be bullied by his father into chores around whatever base Garp brought him, and kid Rosi was probably left around his vicinity since Garp and Sengoku worked closely and some things can't be said around their kids (maybe even babysat by the Admiral trios lol).

They knew each other, definitely.

My timeline is that Dragon was Vice Admiral when Rosinante was Commander and then sent to that undercover mission. Dragon left the marines shortly after, after years of building the foundation of the Revolutionary to 'publicly' declare the organization and their stance (together with some other like minded members- while other marines were left to spy) and then Luffy was born.

I have a lot of headcanons that include them but cannot be understood out of context anyways ( though one in particular involving Sengoku carrying Rosi and Garp dragging Dragon behind them as they stroll on a random island, turning a corner, and then abruptly freezing at seeing Roger carrying a blue haired child, while Rayleigh had a redheaded one on his shoulder. They point at each other spiderman meme style.)

They're not quite brothers in the same way Shanks and Buggy are, mostly because they're not together all the time and also because Rosi has Issues about that, but they certainly saw each other as dependable people within the mess that was the marines. Childhood friends definitely.
