Honestly, it gives law just more depth and shows something else way more. Law is used to be the serious one, always in concern, strategic, in danger, need to take care of everything around him, pretty much like a real doctor.
but with Luffy and Kid, his rivals, it feels more like some kind of brotherhood. They lowkey respect each other deeply, they trust each other so far to take down an yonko, but they will never skip their rivalry, like brothers. Kinda like ace said „we laughed about him a lot, but we would never allow someone else to laugh about him.“
And this kind of relationship gives Law the opportunity to be a bit more light hearted, to act in this rivalry. To act free of mind, just like his heart tells.

Oda does not have a clue how to write Luffy, Kid and Law‘s relationship so he’s went for a poor man’s repeat of Zoro and Sanji bickering.
i disagree hard Garp. Zoro, Sanji and Luffy always had another kind of dynamic. While they maybe overran luffy or joked about him, they would never ever deny his position as captain. There was never a doubt in who is in charge here and who is, blandly spoken, the mc.
What oda does with Law and Kid is something completely different and really enjoyable in my opinion. Than for the first time, it’s not only the MC who wins every argument or mocks the others. Now kid mocked them an Luffy just reacted like law. There was no „mc above the others“. We suddenly got a dynamic where Luffy is part of a group which don’t necessarily is grouped under him. Because law and kid don’t get themselves under luffy.
