I think MS's tranlation of that line was waaaaay better. I almost wish the jap version actually said that.

To be honest, I think the whole thing is set up for Law to still be alive. Only problem is Oda better have a pretty damn good explanation of how he's gonna survive this.

My bet stays with some unknown powers Ope still has. One thing I thought I wanna point out is this. There's a difference between Law swapping hearts and transferring psyche. We've seen how Law essentially switches bodies between different people. This takes more than just swapping their hearts. As evidenced, we've seen Law switching his heart with Caesar without any change in personality.

I think the best way to explain how Law will survive this, and the last panel seemingly depicting that Law is trying to speak to Luffy probably lies in the ability of Ope to transfer someone's psyche. Perhaps this is a variation of the so-called immortality surgery. Perhaps Law is able to transfer his own psyche or 'soul' or whatever it is into another container or body or whatever. And once Mansherry fixes Law's own body, he can move back in again.

A somewhat crazy theory I just thought of, maybe Law transferred his own heart and psyche into Luffy, and now Luffy has 2 hearts squeezed together, and Law's consciousness would be talking straight into Luffy's mind.

Although if this really happened, I can totally see Luffy completely freaking out and spoiling whatever plans Law had for doing that in the first place...
