I see what you're saying but to me the damage isn't permanent as opposed to Whitebeard cracking an island apart. Law's devil fruit powers allow him to cut anything but other than it being split apart, any other damage isn't too catastrophic. From what I've seen, the island was split horizontally and flew upwards and should gravity exist/do its work around Punk Hazard, than it should all fall back into place. Thats just my theory though, I could be wrong
