Several months had passed since Law had begun seriously training the power of his Devil Fruit.
Before he even noticed, the year 1513 had arrived.
We see Law outside, continuing his physical training. His movements were sharper, his breathing steady, his body far stronger than before.
Yet his thoughts were elsewhere.
It's already been two years…
Two years since I took over Law's body and started living in the world of One Piece.
I'm fifteen now.
Nothing truly disastrous had happened during that time, but his growth was undeniable.
He could now use the Ope Ope no Mi with confidence.
The radius of his ROOM had expanded to nearly four meters.
He had mastered Shambles, Takt, and Scan…
And had even learned Curtain — the defensive barrier he would one day use against monsters like Big Mom and Kaido.
He could also activate the "targeting vision" in his right eye without a ROOM, even if only briefly.
Focusing on my physical strength first was the right decision…
Another piece of good news had arrived recently: a merchant ship finally reached the island.
Wolf-san managed to buy several missing parts for the Polar Tang.
After finishing his training, Law was about to head into the forest again to continue practicing his Devil Fruit when he noticed news birds flying across the sky.
He frowned.
— …More news?
Nothing important had happened since Doflamingo took Dressrosa.
— Wolf-san! — he called. — I think something big happened again.
Wolf stepped outside, bought a newspaper, and they began reading together.
BREAKING NEWS:
The World Government announces two new Warlords of the Sea.
The Pirate Empress — Boa Hancock.
And the Knight of the Sea — Jinbe.
Wolf let out a low whistle.
— How did the World Government even manage to force a fish-man and the Queen of the Amazons to become Warlords?..
Law said nothing.
He already knew.
Jinbe accepted to protect what remained of the Sun Pirates.
And Boa Hancock…
Once the Marines coated their ships with seastone and gained the ability to cross the Calm Belt safely, Amazon Lily was no longer untouchable.
She had no choice.
Putting the newspaper aside, Law returned to the forest.
Three hours of intense training passed quickly.
When exhaustion finally set in, he canceled ROOM and headed back toward Wolf's house.
Then—
— A-ah! Stop it!
Law froze.
— …Bepo?
He turned off the path and saw two younger boys harassing the white bear — pushing him, laughing, throwing dirt at him.
Law let out a quiet sigh.
Even after all this training…
He still can't bring himself to hurt people.
Slowly, Law clenched his fists and stepped forward.
