how do you feel about the allegations that you are the devil? (geuss who the anon is game, incredibly easy)
THE WHAT?! WHY?!
I’m..I think I’m a pretty nice person! I try my best to do the right thing, I mean, sometimes I slip up or people don’t agree that what I did was right but that’s pretty normal!
I know a lot of people hate Marines but if any of us are being accused of being THE DEVIL why would it be me?!

On June 19, 2026 at 11:43 P.M. CDT an anon sent an ask to Trafalgar D. Law's @trafalgar-official blog, asking, "mr trafalgar why do you wear that big hat all the time. are you balding?" to which Law responds, "NO. WHAT. DON'T START THIS RUMOR. I HAVE A HEALTHY HEAD OF HAIR. I JUST LIKE THE HAT."
This post single-handedly started what became known as "Baldgate" a term used to describe an event that lasted several days, where many people came to @trafalgar-official to ask variations of one question, "Are you bald?" Followed up by several other questions concerning the details of his baldness.
Trafalgar D. Law has consistently refuted this idea, with friends and associates regularly chipping in to assist him in his argument or continue the bashing.
Repeated perpetrators of "Baldgate" include Captain Koby @koby-official, Roronoa Zoro @zoro-r, Fox @foxlikescereal, another Trafalgar D. Law @surgeonofdeath-law, and Jewelry Bonney @p1zza4bon, who pop up consistently throughout this timeline of events.
In today's article, much like the last one discussing Trafalgar Law's rumored "Dick Tattoos," we will delve into how this all started and properly document this event for anyone confused at its mention from any of the blogs mentioned above.
The Beginning (June 19 - June 20)
As stated in the first paragraph of this article, the first ask about Law's supposed "baldness" was sent on June 19 by an unidentified anon, curious as to why Law wears his big hat, which covers most of his head. ( Source: HERE )
Following this post, another ask was sent commenting on how defensive Law had gotten and suggesting he may have had a hair transplant. Law sent back a strong response showcasing his offense. ( Source: HERE ) Included with his response, Law sent a selfie of himself without his hat with words scribbled on in red marker and arrows pointing to his hair that read, "HEALTHY HAIR" and, "FUCK YOU" in an attempt to prove his healthy hairline.
Unfortunately, this only led to another ask sent by @bicxtrasmoothmechanicalpencils that reads, "healthy… sure…" sending the selfie back with a new addition, this time in yellow marker that measured the length of his forehead in an attempt to prove he does in fact have a receding hairline. Law responds by begging his crewmate, Bepo, to "hold him back." ( Source: HERE )
Finding his responses amusing, askers continue to barrage him with more questions, egging him on further. ( Source: HERE )
This all led to even former associate Captain Koby @koby-official making a post in disbelief, expressing that the last time they had met, he had a full head of hair, but he can't say anything on the matter as of making that post. ( Source: HERE ) Law responds in kind, very much upset by this turn of events.
Former associate Roronoa Zoro @zoro-r joined supporting Law, adding in his own comments and even sending an image in one. ( Sources: HERE, HERE )
In both instances with Koby and Zoro, Law uses the word "again." Which may imply that this may not have been the first time a joke of this kind was made at Law's expense. But it can't be said for certain.
Seeing just how far the joke has gone, Law reblogged the original ask that started it all with a threat: "The start of it all... anon count your days..." ( Source: HERE )
Another Anon just asks, "Do you wear wigs?" ( Source: HERE )
Seeing how the teasing, maybe even bullying, is starting to escalate, Koby comes out with the first defense post for Law against the growing rumor of his baldness titled, "ADDRESSING THE ALLEGATIONS." Law responds gratefully to this post in a reblog. ( Source: HERE )
Later on June 20, at 3:46 A.M. CDT, Jewelry Bonney @p1zza4bon responds to Koby's defense post a little more than two hours after it was posted with a large-scale image of Law, edited to greatly exaggerate his rumored receding hairline, giving him a shiny bald spot where his bangs would normally be. Law denounces this image as fake news, devastated as his crewmate, Bepo laughs next to him. ( Source: HERE )
Hours later, Koby posts with the caption, "baldgate is causing problems with my work/blog balance." before reposting the image Bonney had posted earlier. Leading to a reblog chain consisting of others teasing Law about his image. ( Source: HERE )
A little earlier before the Koby post, Snailblr user Fox @foxlikescereal makes a post captioned, "RIP the @trafalgar-official bald allegations, it's been fun. (its ok man, we know ur not bald)" He expresses sympathy to Law in his current predicament, met with an appreciative, "If only everyone else could be half as reasonable as you, Fox-ya..." in response from Law. ( Source: HERE )
At 12:24 P.M. CDT, Koby responds to an ask toasting to him as the "Hero of Baldgate." Law is not amused. ( Source: HERE )
In an ask answered later that day, an Anon shares that they got a tip from Law's crew, saying that Law does in fact wear wigs. Law responds by threatening Shachi and Penguin the next time he sees them. ( Source: HERE )
Another ask answered a couple of minutes after reads, "Babygirl why are you balding, I thought you were too hot to balddddd, Your age is catching up to you" met with Law responding, "I am not OLD and I am not BALD. And I still don't consider myself a babygirl." ( Source: HERE )
And minutes after that, world-famous diva, Uta @uta-the-diva-offical sends in an ask where the last part reads, "anyways, question dear, is your hat so big because its full of secrets..? or is it just hiding a big little shiney spot kyehehehehe" to which Law responds, "HOW IS UTA-YA IN ON THIS TOO? IM NOT BALDING AND YOU KNOW IT . I don't care that you're an idol YOUR LIMBS AREN'T SAFE AROUND ME." In a different thread, Fox also intervenes with his own comment. ( Sources: HERE, HERE )
Koby then sends a formal apology to Law through an ask, saying that, "Traflgar Law you are NOT balding and I hope the people will return to their usual passion for you rather than accusing you of balding at the very young age of 26." Law accepts this apology and even goes on to address those who are actually balding, specifically tagging Sir. Crocodile @signore-coccodrillo, "On another note, for anybody who IS balding, I do offer hair transplant services at my clinic on the Tang. @signore-coccodrillo There is hope for you."
At 4:03 P.M. CDT, Bonney responds to an ask sent to her from Law. Law angrily asks her to remove the edited image and clear his name of the rumors, attaching another hat-less selfie with more red marker scribbling and arrows that read, "SO MUCH HAIR" and "FUCK YOU BONNIE." Bonnie only responds by claiming she was only spreading the message, saying that, "Your hair really is just debatable because of that hat you always wear!!!!!" Though, she gives an ultimatum of a food exchange before threatening to spread a new image. This time it was edited to showcase Law completely bald, but at least it's not shiny anymore. A mortified Zoro buys her two full-course meals to keep the image from being spread more openly. Law celebrates the potential end of Baldgate. ( Source: HERE )
About an hour earlier, @surgeonofdeath-law (who we will call "Other Law" for clarity's sake) made a post about law. Listing all the possibilities of what could happen between them with percentages of most likely to least. Law reblogs this post with an incriminating snailshot, showcasing a comment made by Other Law that states, "Imagine being bald. I'm the not-bald multiverse version of you." The comment where this snailshot was sourced is in the comments of this post here. ( Source: HERE ) Other Law responds to this by powerscaling the two of them. ( Source: HERE )
Fox returns, making a post saying, "should I make a shirt protesting the end of the bald Trafalgar law shenanigans? (@trafalgar-official, I'm sorry bbg..)" and 20 minutes later makes another post with a small collection of memes edited to signal the end of Baldgate. ( Sources: HERE, HERE )
It is however, not the end. An ask is sent from Cavendish, curious about about Baldgate. Law responds in a fit of devastation. ( Source: HERE )
Other Law also won't let the joke rest, taking opportunities to make jabs at Law when he can. ( Sources: HERE, HERE )
Fox returns with a larger meme collection in Law's defense, to which Law acknowledges, putting in the tags, "#maybe memes will get the youths to listen to me…" ( Source: HERE )
But it's still not over. Koby returns to the exchange between Law and Other Law with a question, "Wait. So sorry just trying to keep the facts straight….you are bald…?" to which Law retorts, "FUCK YOU PINKY-YA I THOUGHT YOU STEPPED AWAY FROM BALDGATE." Goddamit, Koby indeed. ( Source: HERE )
Fox returns with a warning, reblogging a post captioned, "might turn evil soon. any beginner advice would be appreciated." with, "WHAT EVER YOU DO DONT CALL PEOPLE BALD. the effect is.... deviating" making Baldgate a cautionary tale. ( Source: HERE )
Penny Lamb @janee-doe-offical sends in an ask, another person curious about Baldgate. ( Source: HERE ) Law does his mink breathing exercises and recites affirmations in the comments of this post. And confirms they were taught to him by Bepo in another post. ( Source: HERE )
Ending the day off, one more ask by Fox would be answered by Monkey D. Luffy @luffy-offical, "What is your opinion about the @trafalgar-official baldgate?" to which Luffy responds, "I always knew traffy was bald, he wears a wig too, I think? @trafalgar-official" Throwing Law into another pit of despair as another former associate is aware of Baldgate. ( Source: HERE )
Baldgate Continues… (June 21)
Law answers an ask sent by Fox at June 20, 11:58 P.M. CDT, a meme is attached asking for an alliance after the seemingly strange betrayal that took place earlier, the meme itself has text that reads, "i receive: your love or friendship + you receive: My aid in whatever you need + All the ops will get what they deserve"
Law responds, "Hmm... I don't really do friends or love... ...but we could discuss the implications of a mutually beneficial alliance of sorts. It does seem as if we have enemies in common..."
The weird betrayal is explained in a snailshot Law took from Fox's reblog of Luffy's post with tags that read, "#Well I'm fucked #Look #that (ask) was from a while ago(before I promised not to mention baldgate again) #Please don't kill me" The snailshot is sourced from this post here. ( Source: HERE ) Law accepts the alliance, acknowledging that, "Luffy-ya is in fact notoriously slow... I'm sure it would apply to answering his asks too..." ( Source: HERE )
Fox isn't the only Snailblr user supporting Law as another user, Sparks @sparks-and-glitches-official a former Baldgate perpetrator, has also taken back his involvement and has since joined on the side of supporting Law, according to an interview he was open to doing. ( Source: HERE, HERE )
Zoro's back, commenting on the ask Luffy answered with, "I even remember him trying to eat that..." regarding Law's hair. Starting a reblog chain all about eating Law's hair. ( Sources: HERE, HERE )
Two days is too long for Baldgate to have gone on for. Law makes a post addressing the amount of asks he has received related to the topic. ( Source: HERE )
At 12:53 A.M. CDT, Other Law answers an ask he received from an Anon, who had sent it to the wrong Law. It reads, "YOUR BALD YOUR BALD AND YOUR TORTURING PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAIR" Other Law responds, No you got the wrong Law, the Law you're looking for is @trafalgar-official. He's the bald one. I'm the version of him with hair. Also, *You're." Law retorts in a reblog to this post, starting a small bickering session that gets mediated by Rosinante "Corazon" @corazon-official. ( Source: HERE )
Other Law throws another jab at Law minutes after. ( Source: HERE )
Zoro comments on the ask post Other Law answered, sending images of Law without his hat in his defense. Koby teases he doesn't see any hair, and Law tells him to count his days. ( Source: HERE )
More asks are sent by Anons and Fox in light of the teasing, but nothing too serious to note. ( Sources: HERE, HERE, HERE )
Introduction of "Rawgate" (June 22 - June 23)
You may be wondering now, "That was a lot on Baldgate, but what is Rawgate? Is it just another term for Baldgate?" Well, it's not another term for Baldgate, but they are closely linked.
On June 22, 12:42 A.M. CDT, Fox posts a short comic about the Trafalverse Battle-Royale. Law reblogs this post with the caption, "All the cool pirates bet on Blue Trafalgar... I refuse to call myself that name" ( Source: HERE )
However, he had made a critical mistake when writing his tags for the post (and was later corrected), which was pointed out in a snailshot by Snailblr user Jax @jaxplode. ( Source: HERE )
This led to a new surge of asks to Law's blog about his "rawness." ( Sources: HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE )
But that doesn't mean Baldgate was over, far from it, as people had begun to conflate the two together as one whole joke.
From user @skydaddyzeus, "sighs i miss baldgate ):" to which Law responds, "WHAT is there to miss about it." ( Source: HERE )
An Anon sends in an ask, "Fighting the Tra-follicle-less allegations all by yourself, handsome? ;)" Law calls this the worst ask he's received. ( Source: HERE )
On June 23, 5:38 P.M. CDT, Fox posts a drawing they made of Law as a snow leopard. Law responds to this post with, "Normal Law, Autism Law, and now... Furry Law?" to which Other Law corrects him by saying, "Rawbald* Law, for the first one mentioned. It's okay, you made another typo. I could never." ( Source: HERE )
Law then makes a post captioned, "Goddammit am I really going to have to make hashtags for fucking rawbald and the stupid furry son that was left at my doorstep..." ( Source: HERE )
Afterward (June 24 - onwards)
From June 24th onwards, the joke has seemed to lose momentum. The occasional ask or mention would come around, but the excitement towards it has died down. Despite that, it continues to make an appearance sporadically as it refuses to die for good.
From 🍤 Anon, "a bald head is like a raw chicken breast, so in a way trafalgar raw is a continuation of baldgate. it’s all connected." ( Source: HERE )
From @floofylawofficial, "dad y r people calling u raw? What does that mean" to which Law responds, "NOTHING IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. GO DRINK SOME MILK OR WHATEVER." ( Source: HERE )
From an Anon, "rawgate x baldgate makes you" ( Source: HERE )
Another Luffy @namis-pain-in-the-ass asks, "Law. ..whats Rawgate? Is it some sorta gate? How can a gate be raw if it’s not raw meat.." ( Source: HERE )
From an Anon, "what the fuck is a rawgate" ( Source: HERE )
From another Anon, "Yk man, sometimes I get a little raw too, it’s ok, we’re all born raw, some of us just stay more raw than others. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, it’s like having an sti, seems shameful but it’s all ok" ( Source: HERE )
From a simple ask, to a saga of a joke that evolved into something much larger than itself, it's become more than theorizing Law's possible baldness. Perhaps it wouldn't have gotten so big if wasn't for the efforts of Laws friends and crew. Perhaps if that Anon hadn't made that ask we would never have Rawgate. Maybe the real Baldgate was us all along.
NOTICE: For the sanity of our station, we will no longer be accepting any more stories on jokes made at Trafalgar D. Law's @trafalgar-official expense until further notice.
On god how are you liking ALL of my boob posts instantly???lmfao?? It’s becoming slightly comical
I have just been on tumblr a whole lot and honeslty today happened to be notably annoyed by my own bra. Like uagh hate that thing. So the post was felt and understood 🙂↕️
idont really know if 'voice in the back of ur head that tells you those thoughts sound like Disorder style thoughts' is a proper coping mechanism But. it does help,,?
I think you're cursed my davinci resolve has literally never had problems with mkv files
when I downloaded it for the first time in february it somehow tried to download itself three times over so maybe it just hates me specifically and wants me to die
