Well Law likely needed to do the body switch just so SH couldn't leave without at least talking to him, giving him the chance to form the team up. As for Law's intentions, I do wonder if his asking who had haki has anything to do with Smoker's comment that only someone with a strong haki can take on Law as well. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer :)
