In the current arc, there are 2 yonko who are the main antagonists. Those being Kaido and big mom.
A major theme in kaido's fight has clearly been haki. The characters who have done the most damage to Kaido: Luffy, Zoro, and the scabbards, have all been users of advanced haki. When training to fight kaido, Luffy learned ACoA and now he'll most likely be trying to perfect his ACoC to beat kaido.
But what about the big mom fight? Well, unlike Luffy and Zoro, haki isn't really a big part of Law and Kid's characters. I mean, the fact they can survive yonko attacks clearly shows they have good haki, but it doesn't make much sense for them to win based off their haki. How will they magically get ACoA or ACoC when they've had little to no training in it?
However, there is one angle to these characters that Oda could explore that could easily give them the edge over, and possibly even justify them beating big mom. That is devil fruit awakening. Objectively speaking, Kid and Law have some of the strongest devil fruits in the series. The ope ope no mi is outright called the ultimate devil fruit, and magnetism is one of the 4 fundamental natural forces alongside gravity and subatomic forces.
With awakening, advanced haki won't be needed to do serious damage to big mom. Like fujitora's fruit at full power had island level+ range; so much so that he could pull in asteroids from space. As we said, Kid's power is very similar to Fujitora's in principle, if he had that type of range and power, he could easily rival big mom's power. Imagine him picking up the onigashima sword or stealing all of the metal from udon or the flower capital. Given how strong his casual metal arms are, with just one of them being able to stop cognac, awakening would be insanely overpowered.
Similar with Law, what if his awakening was something like Tesoro's in that in increased his control of things within his room. In theory, Law could use his fruit to restructure his body to make it stronger, heal himself, soul manipulation(he can already do this with personality switch), and possibly long range radiation attacks.
Ultimately, I think this is the best route for Oda to go with this fight. Law might already know the basics of awakening from doflamingo, and what if the object Kid stole from big mom had something to do with awakening? Perhaps he stole one of the devil fruit books that Teach and Sanji had, and this could be how he awakens.
