the image of the sub category or the image of the parent category

this is correct for the parent term

$image = get_field('category_image', $current_cat );

this would be used for the child term

$image = get_field('category_image', $child );

however, this may not be returning what you expect it to return, and what it is returning would depend on where you are adding the shortcode.

$current_cat = get_queried_object();
