I'm just thinking of an au of my au where it's canon but Rosinante lives and KataCora raised Law.
And Law being forced to go to Totto Land with the Sanji Rescue team when they find out he was raised as a Charlotte for a few years because he'd be perfect in giving them information on where to go and what to do.
Completely, y'know, ignoring the fact that he left for a reason and thus is branded as a traitor and should never actually return if he wanted to continue living but it's Luffy, he never listens.
And the whole time they're there, Luffy is like pointing at every guy asking, "Hey, is that your dad??" and Law, without fail, every single time is like "Hell no he's not," and when they run across Cracker, Law's like "He wishes he was my dad" because he knows he had a small crush on his papa when they first got to Totto land and he's still pretty pissed about it.
And when Luffy and Nami and Chopper and Carrot are going against Cracker and Brulee, they're like "Law are you just going to stand there or what?" and he's just like "I'm not going to help you beat up my family" and besides he's there against his will, he's very unhappy about being there right now.
And one would think because of the vast amount of Charlotte siblings there are, it'd be unlikely that they'd all know him and vice versa, but no, they all do. Because when you have a dad like Katakuri who's admired by all his younger siblings and uncles and aunties who are competitive af, they'd all try to get Katakuri's favor via his son, so Law is pretty aware of what they all look like, and maybe even some of their powers too.
And when Law FINALLY meets his dad again when they're trying to escape Totto land and Katakuri is just sitting to the side as Luffy fights Perospero. Law stands in front of him and is just like, "Hey fight me, I wanna see how far I've come."
And because both Katakuri and Rosinante trained Law, his combat skills are pretty damn good, his observation haki too - which has gotten better after being on his own for a bit - so he's at least able to dodge all of his dad's attacks even if he's struggling to actually hit him.
But when Law finally manages to cut him once, he's happy since he's never been able to do it, but Katakuri is like "don't get cocky just because you've hit me once" and hits him which just sends him flying.
Law is a bit upset saying "You went easy on me again, didn't you." But Katakuri, as stoic as he is, can't help but show a smile or proudness saying that no, he wasn't actually going easy on him and that "Rosi would be proud."
Unfortunately Law doesn't actually get to run into Rosinante, his Cora-san, but he jokes to his dad saying "I won't tell papa if you won't," because while yes they've trained before which involved them both getting hurt, just not to that extent and Rosinante would not be happy with either of them.
And at the end of it all, Luffy's all smug to Law because "Hey Torao, I beat up your dad," because Law's been saying the whole time they were in Totto land they'd never be able to beat him.
Luffy isn't the type to keep bringing it up but oh god the rest of the strawhat pirates won't shut up about it, and now everyone knows and won't let him live it down.
