I'm rewatching the Dressrosa arc (again!) and a theory just hit me.
Law is so obsessed with making sure his plans are followed exactly because when Cora told him his plan, he ended up not following itβhe broke it to protect Law.
Cora said everything would be fine, that they'd both make it out... but it didn't happen.
That's why he clings to controlβbecause not sticking to the plan once cost him everything.
Law isn't obsessed with perfectionβheβs terrified of losing someone again.
Since then, Law holds onto his plans so tightlyβnot because he needs control, but because heβs scared.
Scared that if someone strays from the plan, they'll end up like Cora.
And he canβt go through that again.
