The phrase " by operation of law " is a legal term that indicates that a right or liability has been created for a party, irrespective of the intent of that party, because it is dictated by existing legal principles. For example, if a person dies without a will, their heirs are determined by operation of law.

The Ope Ope no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit whose ability is to create a spherical domain in which the user can freely rearrange, take apart (without harm), and generally remodel the structure/anatomy of anything and anyone (themself included) in a "surgical" way, making the user a Free Modification Human (改造自在人間, Kaizō Jizai Ningen?). The fruit was eaten by Trafalgar D. Water Law, having been force-fed to him by Donquixote Rosinante. Before Law, the fruit's powers were held by a certain famous doctor.
The Ope Ope no Mi's power was first seen during the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, but the fruit was not named or explained in any way until the Punk Hazard Arc.
•Ope is short for operēshon (オペレーション?), the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "operation" (as in, surgical operations).
•In the VIZ manga and Funimation adaptations, it is called the Op-Op Fruit, "Op" being also short for "Operation".
The Ope Ope no Mi is a red, heart-shaped fruit resembling a strawberry, small enough for a man to hold it in-between his fingers. It has a stem with a swirling end pointing upwards, and, as characteristic of natural Devil Fruits, its surface is swirl-patterned.
The Ope Ope no Mi allows its user to "remodel" the world around them as if by operating on it. By conjuring a transparent-blue, spherical domain of sorts that is centered around the user (dubbed "ROOM" by Law), they gain control over everything inside that territory, from living beings—including themselves—to nonliving objects: as put by Smoker, the Ope Ope no Mi's user becomes the surgeon, their "circle" the operating room, and those caught inside are the patients on the operating table. Examples of the ways wherein the user can "surgically" manipulate things in their ROOM are: swapping the locations of two targets to teleport them, levitating and moving objects of any size around akin to telekinesis, "scanning" targets, slicing people/objects apart without actual injury (akin to dissection) and then reattaching the separate parts to other surfaces, permanently taking out people's organs without harm, transplanting "personalities" (spirits), creating electric shocks or energy constructs to destroy people's bodies from the inside, etc. As long as the user's chosen targets are inside their ROOM, they are within range and the user's techniques instantly reach them regardless of distance.
More specifically, inside ROOM and with the use of a blade, the user can perform long-ranged spatial slicing to cleanly sever flesh and bone without actually hurting the victim. People separated by this ability are not killed and can still feel their separated parts, regardless of the distance (much like Buggy when he separates himself using the Bara Bara no Mi). Internal organs removed by this ability will become vulnerable and unprotected. The effects of this application of the Ope Ope no Mi persist even after the ROOM is disengaged. Separated parts can be reassembled back to normal or be mixed-up and (re)attached in any manner the user sees fit, such as sticking someone's severed head onto other surfaces, including inanimate objects, or onto someone or something else's body. However, even if a victim gets reassembled back to normal, the possibility of said body parts splitting up once more with the appropriate injury still exists; this happened with Kin'emon during the war against the Beasts Pirates (after Kaidou pierced him with a sword in the spot his legs were first split by Law), a long time after his reassembly back in the Punk Hazard Arc. Apparently, victims with Devil Fruit powers still retain their abilities after being cut into pieces, but only parts with "conscience" (i.e. the head) seem to be able to access them while in this state. Devil Fruit users who have been split by this power will still feel the effects of seawater if one of their body parts has been submerged. When the cutting power is used on a non-living object, the effect will result as if it were a normal cut.
Another major ability granted by this fruit is the control over spatial positions, which functions like swap-based teleportation. This technique is especially useful in rain or snowstorms, since there are several droplets of water or snow in the air that can allow the user to place anything almost anywhere, whenever they want to. Moreover, it is possible to even swap ("transplant") abstract concepts such as one's "personality" (soul), much like how Bartholomew Kuma is capable of removing one's "pain" with his Nikyu Nikyu no Mi. After switching people's souls, only the user himself can reverse it, but the recipients' bodies must be present in order for him to restore them back to their original bodies. In the case of switched souls, Devil Fruit powers are maintained within the original physical body, while voices and other abilities (such as Haki) go along with the switched souls, due to Haki originating from the individual's spirit, not their body. This was demonstrated when Sanji used his Kenbunshoku Haki in Nami's body.
While the ability to freely manipulate people, objects, and even abstract concepts within a defined space is the fruit's signature power, it is far from being its only one. Just like with ROOM, the user is capable of manifesting other energy-based constructs that work for a variety of purposes and grant massive versatility in combat. From its vast power over space, the user can release spatial energy in the form of high-voltage shocks that act like defibrillators or form electric blades that can bypass physical flesh, directly destroying internal organs. Another similar technique involves the creation of a scanning light encompassing the entire ROOM with the intent of locating specific objects inside it. For defense, the user can manifest transparent veils to protect themselves from incoming enemy attacks.
It is worth noting that the effects caused by this Devil Fruit's operations persist even if the user is rendered unconscious or restrained with Seastone, such as Nami and Sanji's minds remaining swapped or Law, Smoker, and Monet still living with their hearts removed from their bodies when the user found himself in such conditions. Also, it has been shown to be possible to use this ability in conjunction with Busoshoku Haki, as seen when Law was able to bypass Smoker's Logia defenses through his Mes technique.
In addition to its many combat applications, this Devil Fruit's spatial abilities can also be applied for medical purposes. The Ope Ope no Mi has been described as having "miraculous" properties, having the ability to cure any kind of illness, but at the same time still requires some extent of medical knowledge in order to be utilized effectively, as the fruit's influence only bends but not fully defy biological aspects of those recipient to its life-saving applications and its miraculous healing is actually focused on spatially extracting disease-causing impurities such as bacteria and viruses directly out of the patients' bodies. As such, if a doctor of prodigious medical expertise were to obtain this fruit's power, their medical abilities would be second to none. Being an exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable surgeon and doctor, Law can use this ability to its full potential. He has demonstrated the medical prowess of this fruit by curing himself of Amber Lead Syndrome as a child and again when he cured the giant children at Punk Hazard from their drug addiction and poisoning.
The fruit's most obvious drawback is that the user of the Ope Ope no Mi can only use its powers within a specific spherical area that they have to summon themselves, so if either the user or the target move outside the area, they are unaffected by its powers. It should be noted that when a user creates ROOM, it remains stationary until dismissed and another one is created, indicating that the user may not be able to move the ROOM once it is established and that summoning multiple ROOMS at once is impossible. While a big enough ROOM tends to be hard to notice, smaller ones can be easily detected, allowing an enemy to spot it and keep their distance.
While the fruit provides access to a multitude of abilities, most of them have limitations of their own. For example, the user is required to complete hand gestures in order to use certain attacks, with Doflamingo being shown at least once blocking Law's "Mes" technique by restraining his arm. Moreover, for the user to swap something or themselves into a specific position inside his ROOM, they need to somehow set up the positioning of the destination object in case there is nothing already present beforehand. In addition, while the user can telekinetically lift anything or anyone else within the ROOM, they apparently cannot lift their own bodies.
A major weakness of this fruit is that usage of the fruit's abilities depletes the user's stamina. This results in situations where the user must rest after or avoid long or multiple enemy confrontations in order to use his powers further down the line. Over-usage and exerting to the range limit can even result in shortening of the lifespan, especially when making use of the fruit's awakened abilities as they likely consume more stamina than usual. The usage of the Perennial Youth Operation, in particular, will cost the user his or her own life.
It was also hinted by Smoker that a Logia's intangibility may offer some level of protection from the fruit's powers. However, if a Logia user has a part of them severed by this power (when used in conjunction with Busoshoku Haki), then that part of them loses the effects of the user's Devil Fruit; this means that such parts can be harmed without the Logia fruit protecting it from damage. In addition, Smoker also strongly insinuated that sufficient proficiency with Haki may offer some level of resistance to the fruit's effects. In support of Smoker's claims, Law was unable to cut through Doflamingo's usage of Busoshoku Haki, with the latter catching the former's sword and stopping Law's attack despite being inside of Law's ROOM. Haki being used as a deterrent to this fruit's effects was further proven in the Wano Country Arc, where Law confirmed he was unable to displace either Big Mom or Kaidou around due to their far superior Haki.
In regards to the fruit's medical applications, a good deal of medical knowledge is required to use the Ope Ope no Mi to its fullest extent. Also, as Donquixote Rosinante pointed out, the fruit's miraculous applications and premises are not divine or in any way omnipotent by nature, and still follows the core rules of science and medical logic, albeit somewhat conditionally. As such, the user must be intellectual enough on how to utilize its powers when circumventing, however slightly, those rules for the advantage (or at least preservation) of recipients to be modified by the fruit's power, in order for him or her to employ the Ope Ope to its utmost medical potential.
Other than that, the user is affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

In the past, when a certain doctor ate the fruit, the doctor was able to perform miraculous operations that saved many lives and cured all sorts of diseases in ways that no ordinary surgeon was capable of.
Trafalgar D. Water Law
Law is overall a tricky and smart fighter, using his various abilities to redirect attacks coming at him, disarm opponents or escape perilous situations, among a diversity of other tactics. From its first appearance, Law developed this ability to a great extent over the timeskip as his ROOM now covers a much larger area than it did before. It was stated by Smoker that the spherical territory generated by Law marks the range of how long Law can affect targets from afar. He generally uses the warping aspect of this power to his advantage. Both in and out of battle, he uses this ability to help him obtain things that are otherwise beyond his physical reach or to confuse an opponent. The Ope Ope no Mi makes Law well-suited at fighting long-range battles, since he practically wields full control of an area where anything can happen for as long as his powers are active. However, he is just as formidable in close-range combat, having defeated Vice Admiral Smoker in this manner and later one of the Yeti Cool Brothers using an offensive contact technique. Law typically uses his Devil Fruit powers in tandem with his swordsmanship, making his sword a "scalpel" of sorts while his powers are active. A swing from Law's sword is usually enough to bisect a whole squadron of enemies from afar. Another common form of attacking includes Law telekinetically launching debris at his foes, slashing the surrounding environment into pieces in case he needs more "ammo". He can also use the fruit's powers to aid him in his medical operations, such as by cutting his patients into pieces so as to methodically remove hazardous objects or substances from their bodies, and rejoining them together. It was by using this ability that he managed to remove the Amber Lead that accumulated within his own body, thus saving himself from the otherwise incurable lead poisoning, and is the primary reason why he was force fed the fruit in the first place. Law used this power to turn the people on Punk Hazard, who lost the use of their legs due to a chemical-weapon explosion on the island, into centaurs and satyrs by attaching their upper bodies to the lower bodies of their respective animals. The fruit can be used to grant another person eternal youth in exchange for the current user's life, something Doflamingo originally tried to brainwash Law into doing upon discovering that the child ate the fruit. However, Law states that he has no interest in this particular ability, least of all for his enemy. Having achieved awakening of his ability, Law is capable of creating "remote" ROOMs that function differently from normal ones. Those awakened ROOMs can be tossed at or coated on objects to spatially distort them in a variety of ways, with Law not needing to be inside their range in order to do so. Law primarily utilizes his awakening in conjunction with his sword, allowing him to increase its size and/or make it phase through targets, similar to how regular, spherical ROOMs work. When his awakening is applied on enemy targets, Law becomes able to operate on them from afar, be it through his usual moves or more abstract effects like noise cancelling. Through this application, Law has developed at least one technique in homage to Donquixote Rosinante, his childhood savior. That said, Law claims that he is not yet used to this ability and its huge consumption of stamina, hence him relegating it to a last resort move should his regular techniques fail him.
Past
According to Diez Barrels, this fruit was once eaten by a doctor in the past. This doctor became a legend, as the Ope Ope no Mi allowed him to perform miraculous operations that cured all kinds of diseases. Emporio Ivankov speculated that a past user of this fruit had performed the "Perennial Youth Operation" on someone, explaining how this ability was known in the present. When Donquixote Doflamingo escaped Mary Geoise, he took with him the knowledge of the Holy Land's national treasure, which would allow him to conquer the entire world if he were to combine it with the Ope Ope no Mi's ability to grant him eternal life. For this reason, he sought out this Devil Fruit. About six months after his brother, Donquixote Rosinante, left the crew with Law to search for a cure for Amber Lead Syndrome, Doflamingo got news of the Ope Ope no Mi being sold to the Marines by a pirate who did not know of the fruit's true potential, and contacted Rosinante to inform him of this. Doflamingo ordered the two runaways to return to the crew, and once the crew stole this fruit from the transaction, Rosinante was to eat the fruit and use its powers to heal Law. What Doflamingo did not inform his younger brother, however, was that he intended to order Rosinante to use the Perennial Youth Operation on him, granting Doflamingo eternal life. Rosinante had already figured out Doflamingo's unspoken intention, and being a spy for the Marines who already possessed a Devil Fruit power, decided to circumvent this transaction himself, so he could feed the fruit to Law and save him from the Amber Lead Syndrome. Eventually, Rosinante succeeded in stealing the Ope Ope no Mi and was en route to Law when his clumsiness caused him to tumble off a cliff. He was then subsequently ambushed by the pirates from whom he stole the fruit. Despite being shot all over, Rosinante successfully returned to Law with the fruit and force-fed it to him, giving him the power to save himself from the Amber Lead Syndrome. When Doflamingo was notified about this by Rosinante himself, he grew infuriated by this setback as he never wanted Law to eat the fruit in the first place. Regardless, Doflamingo recomposed himself and decided to shift his plan, planning to "educate" Law into seeing the importance of dying for him, unaware that Law heard this heartless comment while hidden. Law, on the other hand, plotted to use this power, amongst everything else he has, to defeat Doflamingo and avenge Rosinante. Ever since Law betrayed the crew, the Donquixote Pirates have been desperate to retrieve the power in order to grant Doflamingo eternal youth while acknowledging that Law would not perform the operation onto Doflamingo.
The technique "Shambles" has been translated by VIZ as "Chambres", the French word for rooms. In addition, this translation has also been seen romanized on the cover of Chapter 1 of One Piece Party.
