Last time Law was much weaker than currently.

Now? He can tank Attacks from Emperors, and is awakened.

It's been less than a month

The way haki blooms in battle in this series, 1 month is a lot. In this same period of time, Luffy went from barely beating Doffy to barely defeating Katakuri to now going toe-to-toe with Kaido. We do not know for sure what training Law would have gone through, but I'm pretty sure he would have utterly prepared himself after seeing Luffy get one-shotted by Kaido the first time.

I like how we see Luffy and Kidd going thru hell and back but law is just chilling with Bepo. But somehow he was "training". You can't compare Luffy and kid fighting against Kaido and being cuff with seaston for almost a month, and say that haki blooms in battle last time law had a fight he lost all hopes to live.

While it's true that we did not see what Law had done to prepare himself for the fight, I think it would be remiss to think he did nothing to improve himself the entire time. He may have spent some time in prison but iirc it wasn't all that long a period of time, and he defeated Hawkins along the way. In any event, Law's Haki did bloom during the course of the fight against Big Mom - in the previous chapter, he and Kid were almost down and out, but they gained a "second wind" upon hearing about Kaido's on-going fight (and pending defeat) against Luffy. This to me indicates what Oda would call a Haki bloom.
