Hello dear! ;D Can I request you headcanons about Trafalgar Law and s/o go to a Comic Convention? :D
Hello blueriza! Oh boy, I miss comic conventions. I haven’t been to any since October last year, I think? Stupid pandemic. Anyway, here’s Law being a total fanboy, hope you enjoy!
When Law asked you to go with him to a comic convention, you agreed. You loved how he looked when he talked about the Germa comics, even if you didn’t grow up with them yourself. Seeing him at a comic convention would be cute too, right?
The two of you did go in disguise though. You were both well known pirates with bounties, you couldn’t just waltz into a place like that and not expect to get in trouble. And trouble is the last thing Law wanted when going to the convention.
As you watched Law go about his day, you realized just how much of a comic nerd he actually was. He was actively looking for first prints to add to his collection. If there was a booth with figured, he’d look for any he didn’t have yet, and would call out any vendor who was selling bootlegs. How he could see they were fake was a mystery to you.
In the middle of the hall, there was a display with life-size statues of different comic figures. Once Law saw the Sora one, he looked like a kid in the candy store. He insisted you’d take a picture of him with it and you were pretty sure he was going to frame that one later.
Law actively searched out artists who made fanart of his favourite characters. He said that he loved the different takes other fans had on the characters showed the character of both them and the artist. He also often struck up a small conversation with the artist about the character, complimenting them on their work and talking with them about certain choices of style, colour,…
One time though, he almost blew his own cover. As he was talking with another Sora fan, somebody walked by and insulted Sora. Law and the other fan went into discussion with the newcomer, which soon turned into an argument. You saw Law raise his hand to create a room, clearly wanting to shut the rude newcomer up, but you jumped in before he could. If he blew his cover you’d have to leave after all, and you were pretty sure he wasn’t done looking around yet.
At the end of the day, the two of you walked the complete convention three times. Law wanted to be absolutely sure he didn’t miss a thing. Your feet hurt like hell, but Law looking around with that twinkle in his eyes made everything worth it. It was pretty much a day of Law dragging you around and telling you the whole story of the comics based on posters and figures.
While leaving, Law actually suggest going in cosplay next time. You’d need to disguise yourselves anyway, right?
