Hell, he's not going to complain on overkill. Law deserves to wield that fruit's power, and uses it wisely. That's far more than he can say about any of those who might have been its intended recipients - himself included, knowing his likely fate if it had been granted to him instead, as his brother had desired.

It could have been his, but he'd rather steal it for Law any day.

"Yeah. I'm glad he has it. And now I guess there must be a new one back home somewhere too. It altered his lineage factor and that carried over to here, but he... They regrow. Only one of each fruit exists at a time, normally."

Much easier to talk about himself being dead than Law. It's true, and the realist side of him has come to accept that, but it's hard to talk about out loud still.
