What are your thoughts on Law as a yan? I don’t see a lot on him and plus, he’s interesting to write about since he’s kinda hard to pin down. But I’d argue that he could be one of the worst off out there…falling on the extremely controlling kind…

Yeah, I agree he's hard to pin down tbh. That's a common issue with more stoic/straight-man (stock character trope, not sexuality lol) type characters. They're most fun when they have other characters to bounce off of imo. I enjoy watching him the most when he's responding to the antics of others.

Another factor is that... he isn't good with his emotions. This is not a guy who's going to confess his undying affection to you easily, if at all. He will be bottling things up, and it's going to take a lot for him to tell you he loves you.

I will posit two potential paths for a yandere Law. The first is a bit more light-hearted, and the second will be more angsty and focus on him being controlling like you said.

Going with the comedic-foil role he has going with the Strawhats and even his own crew, I can see a version of yan Law where he falls for some sort of ridiculous feral heathen of a darling. Just a cheerful agent of chaos constantly getting into trouble, frequently egged on by Penguin and Shachi. You aren't defenseless, but between giving him heart attacks and making him agonize late at night over how he could possibly be so utterly whipped for someone like you- you're gonna be the cause of his first grey hairs if the guy doesn't have any already.

Maybe he even wants to be controlling- intends on tightening the leash- but you're both slippery and oblivious that he never quite manages it, and you aren't actually trying to leave him, so it doesn't escalate. Ordering you to stay put, locking you in a room, even slipping sleeping meds into your food- you and plenty of other crew members attribute his concerning behavior to the fact that you're that much of a hellion. It becomes a game to you almost. Rush head long into a fight or just run off to explore as soon as he isn't paying attention. "How far can we get before the Captain Rooms us" becomes a competition.

You're a gremlin and he's the scary dog following behind you. He hopes to god you never meet Luffy.

As for the more angsty option...

Law is already shown to be extremely protective of his crew in canon. He's the face of the heart pirates, he literally made them all hide out on Zou during the Dressrosa arc so they wouldn't be at risk. Got a whole different crew to risk their lives taking down Doflamingo.

So yeah, controlling + protective yan Law feel very possible. He breathes down your neck. Maybe he even has a supervised diet/exercise plan Your world is your room on the yellow tang, sometimes the rest of the ship. Very, very rarely do you get to go outside. You are, essentially, a patient that he also cuddles with.

I don't think he'd deliberately make you sick or injure you for the sake of control, especially not with an ability that allows him to immobilize you without permanent damage. But unfortunately your inevitably plummeting mental health will be used as a reason he needs to take care of you. Part of him wants to find some place for you like Zou- safe and protected from all the bullshit his crew gets into. But being yandere means being selfish. He wants you safe and close. Besides, how could he truly ensure his health plan for you was being followed unless he's right there with you?

If it's any consolation, he's not having a good time either. He's a doctor. Of course he realizes what this is doing to you. But he can't let go, or won't let go- he doesn't want to figure out which, truly. He feels guilty but not enough to do the right thing.
