I greatly enjoy how even Law, who is normally so stoic and serious, gets in on the pure excitement over meeting a ninja, along with the goofball trio and Franky
As horrible as it is my main thought during this scene was just, God...
I can't believe Law missed all this.
[I did love them getting weaker as the physical representation of just SAYING NIN burned away, as if it is honestly centeral to ninja magic. It's so over dramatic and meaningful and utterly ridiculous and freaking dark as hell the more you think about it... Oh my god.... You guys, this is just Law turned into a ninja scene.....]
The boy only has like two areas of his life where you can still see traces of the innocent joy of childhood: Sora and Ninjas. Now, two of them are facing off by trying to out badass pose one another, ninjutsu vs ninjutsu. But Raizo stood his place and watched as a man he'd once worked beside burned, burned, burned until the pain was too great and he wanted the fire to take him.
Law would have LOVED it.
Aaaaand the maniacal magic of childhood is over.
Nope, they're all with Mugiwara-ya, he doesn't know any of these idiots. He only even showed up to stab an old lady through the chest, okay!?
