If we consider this scene as a whole paralleling to the neighboring frames then it reveals a possible reason why we see Bepo instead of Law here. Long story short: Law's not there with Bepo anymore!
Let's try to break it down:
Sabo is calling out for Ace and Luffy, but not for Dragon (despite Dragon also being a D. and it's a known fact ever since Dragon's and Luffy's family ties got revealed to the whole world in the newspapers), Koby is calling out to Luffy and Garp, and Bepo is calling out to Law. Do these three scenes have anything in common? Sabo's and Koby's do: they're both calling out only to people who aren't there with them physically (Sabo doesn't have to call out to Dragon because he's right next to him, listening as well).
So why shouldn't we draw a connection to Bepo's frame as well? Bepo has no reason calling out to Law if Law is right there with him. We know Law's goal: to know the meaning of will of D. and learning about history, it seems unlikely that he wouldn't pay attention to the broadcast (and so wouldn't need Bepo to call out to him), right? This should be important to him and we shouldn't imagine him sitting there doing his own thing, uninterested. Which leads to this conclusion I came up with:
Bepo's reaction suggests Law isn't there with him anymore. And that's why Bepo calls out to him, just like Sabo and Koby call out to absent people. Which leads us to two most likely scenarios:
Law is already on his way to somewhere else and asked Bepo to listen to the broadcast for him (which creates the question: what would be so important and couldn't wait an extra half an hour?)
Law is still unconscious after his fight with Blackbeard (not unlikely, but we know Law's unusual skill of staying conscious even after having his arm severed).
That's my analysis of the frame and the not-obvious information it can give us. Bepo indeed carried them to safety, they were in some place where they patched up their wounds and could even listen to a snail, but Law seems to be already away somewhere.

The title of the chapter is *mo も* in Japanese. It is probably the most difficult title to translate, because there are many Japanese words that begin with "mo" (ex. If). Here is a list I came up with related to *mo*. What do you think Vegapunk was trying to say?
and link to the post:
Sandman is Japanese, b comments in English. Oda is very tricky! Amur at Library of Ohara has some good ideas too.
Yeah buddy, I'd want some time alone too after that full-blown verbal holy war Kendrick Lamar dragged your ass with. Kinda shit that makes you need to stop and reflect on your life choices. Drake is back and he is straight-up pulling a Crane Wife hot on the heels of Stussy putting words to some interesting concepts we've seen.
It's been a while, so for a refresher I care a lot about X Drake coming back around because we dangled his report on Wano as a Chekov's Gun way back at the start of Egghead. If he's the one to open up a reinterpretation of Wano...Drake's scenes overlap with Kiku/Izo's a fair amount. So once again, hot on the heels of Stussy speaking that potential baggage aloud here's Drake playing very nice as a followup. Drake, Stussy, Marco. That was the trio I was looking for in this pseudo-anthology's third side story. Speaking of...
It's been a while. Always had nascent ideas about the idea Zoro busts out an attack called Rashomon with Kuma way back when. Of course I've made plenty of mentions of the film reference. Even if you haven't seen it you've seen the story structure. Three POVs on the same event, the real magic is in stitching the truth together out of three unreliable narrators. Marco's perfect to spell it all out as the sorta "framing device" between Wano & Egghead.
It's hard to tell week-to-week what we'll do with this one, but I think we can see what our trio is for Egghead:
First we step away to see a collection of side stories, end on filing in the truth of Sabo/Vivi in Reverie. This though obscured what happened in the lab.
Next we give Bonney a whirl through her backstory with Kuma, where he'll both be a bit of an unreliable narrator and also rewrite some events we've seen prior through giving his POV. When we return we reiterate last night was a gap and add the mystery pile of food for Luffy.
Vegapunk's Broadcast, duh. It was more of a distraction while we saw some relation to the main plot but it still fits the bill. We've done Stussy, we're getting Drake, if you do loop Marco in than it's a way to complete the ASL theme with an Ace connection too. And don't sleep on the York focus here either.
Of course, we'll need to see the next few chapters to really evaluate that. Each one have had their content that raises questions, unreliable narrators and oddball tropes like that. But let's get back to this chapter, there was a cool running line in there I liked:
I could riff on Koby, Grus, & Kujaku getting a bit meta here but I'll save that until I know the next few steps. Kujaku gets to shine a lil more in this SWORD segment as the one checking on Drake but her line here gets a lot more interesting when Bluegrass & Doll have a similar mindset attacking the giants. Bluegrass especially encouraging the young ones to step up and become a star. Makes me think a lot about our OP for the anime adaptation The end of the dream, the end of the sea...but first we have to make a shining legend of ourselves.
It's just funny to me one could interpret the lyrics to "Us" as a threat this arc maybe will break the direction I've long hoped it would is all I'm saying. Let's bring this all home with the main highlight of the chapter though.
It's not just the stinger, the Gorosei seemed a little shocked their first hits on Robonosuke stopped everything. York is relieved but recall last time we talked about her theory that's where the antenna snail was hiding was just that, a theory.
Type of thing that could go either way and either option could have a lot of ways of unfolding. That said...this is a perfect ending if some unknown force is about to take advantage of these gaps to justify being in prime position to hijack the broadcast. Kinda feels like it'd be a cop out to have Robonosuke hanging around this whole time just to get smacked around a little. Still very, very excited for this next stint.
