He switched their bodies so that they would need to return to him if they want their souls to return to the original bodies. Luffy & Co being with them doesn't change that one way or another. In fact it makes them more likely to return since Luffy doesn't consider Law a bad guy, and by helping them reunite, Law is for his own part showing he doesn't have anything in particular against them. It's not like they would board their ship and leave the island with the kids with half of the crew in wrong bodies.
