[ he hmms at the explanation — it's good to know it was supposed to be useful, he supposes, even if it ended up being more confusing than anything else. he did catch some parts of it, though: that they're dead, the names of some people, something about a lighthouse and world eaters, but that's about it. really, it gave him more questions than answers.
the fact that there are other worlds than theirs is intriguing, but when pudding is mentioned, law's eyes widen. ]
Pudding? [ wait, hasn't he heard that name before?
... no way, it can't be. ] Charlotte Pudding? [ what the hell. that is definitely the name of blackleg-ya's intended bride (and now he's glad he forced some kind of an explanation of the whole deal out of his allied crew), but he hadn't said anything about her being dead — maybe they didn't know? maybe big mom had killed her own daughter in anger, after the strawhats had escaped? there'd been nothing in the newspapers about it, either.
quickly, he elaborates: ]
If that is who I think it is... she'll recognize me, [ he says flatly. he may have never seen her or spoken to her, but he knows him joining the warlords gained a lot of publicity, as did the whole of dressrosa and the heart-strawhat alliance. ] Will that be a problem?
[ he doesn't care if he gets recognized — but if cora wants to keep his identity a secret... then that's what he'll strive to do, too. ]
