Many pirates have come and gone in the universe of One Piece, and two of the most famous characters—Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid—have had sad turn of events. The question begs itself: are they really out of the race to become the Pirate King and find the One Piece? Their ships sunk and their dreams seemed destroyed.
Ships in the large and watery universe of One Piece are homes, friends, and symbols of a pirate's path, not only means of mobility. Unbreakable bonds between a crew and their ship create unity and belonging. Thus, a ship's loss marks a turning point in a pirate's life and is a very personal blow.
Aspiring to find the meaning behind the "D," Trafalgar Law, the "Surgeon of Death," was a formidable force. His aspirations were dashed, though, when Blackbeard's crew ambushed him, destroying his ship and losing vital Road Poneglys. Law was heartbroken and maybe out of the race for the One Piece when his dream of reaching Laugh Tale seemed to fade despite his valiant attempts.
The merciless Captain of the Kid Pirates, Eustass Kid, revealed his ambition of being the Pirate King and locating the One Piece. His desire brought him into conflict with the strong Red-Haired Pirate Shanks. Acting to defend innocents, Shanks destroyed Kid's ship with one strike in a terrible meeting. Kid's dreams were shattered by this terrible loss, so severely impeding his search for the ultimate treasure.
One Piece's Chapter #1121 offered a major clue on the course of the race for the One Piece. The eminent scientist Vegapunk said that the person who discovers the fabled treasure will determine the course of the earth. The next picture showed the Four Emperors, suggesting that they are the only still qualified contenders in the race. This implies that Law and Kid have been virtually removed from the One Piece competition after losing their ships and suffering great setbacks.
Law and Kid could still be very important in the narrative even if they might be out of the One Piece race. Driven by Shanks and Blackbeard, their past mistakes could stoke a fierce need for atonement and retribution. The loss of their dreams and ships could motivate them to follow another route, maybe emphasizing on confronting the Emperors obstructing their path.
With its gripping plot, nuanced characters, and ongoing themes of friendship, adventure, and ambition, One Piece has enthralled viewers all around. Law and Kid's paths are far from finished even if they might not be vying for the One Piece in the conventional sense. Their chances for atonement and the possibility of facing the Emperors will surely keep viewers on the tip of their seats and add still another level of mystery to the always changing landscape of One Piece.
