Chapter 394: The BIGMOM Pirates Split
Originally, Kuzan, Sakaski, and Borsalino were going to be the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters, but now only Borsalino and Luquet are completely at odds with each other.
Because Borsalino wanted to use the Five Elders to deal with Luke, his path to becoming a general was blocked, and Luke did not take him seriously at all.
Unlike Sakaski and Kuzan, the two have been training very hard over the years, only Borsalino is very lazy.
After Sakaski was forced to leave the navy, he had been holding back a strong desire to torture himself more than ever before, greatly improving his strength.
After Kuzan was ambushed by Sandra and almost died, he fought even harder than before.
The will-related training of the two people has also been progressing rapidly recently.
On the contrary, Borsalino has been somewhat depressed since he failed to defeat Su Luo, so no matter how angry he is, Borsalino can no longer cause any trouble.
Ever since the news that he failed to defeat Su Luo spread throughout the Navy Headquarters, his prestige plummeted. Even his subordinates felt that there was no future in following him and instead wanted to switch to Lu Kai's side.
Lu Kai also proposed to Zhan Guo several times to transfer Su Luo from Pushu City back to the headquarters, on the grounds that Su Luo's secondment period had expired.
Although Zhan Guo was unwilling to break his promise, he still refused, saying that he could not find a suitable successor to the director.
Especially after the two attacks on Pushu City, the importance of Su Luo was further highlighted, and Zhan Guo became even more worried about letting him leave.
But Zhan Guo also assured Lu Kai that Su Luo’s contribution would not be insignificant.
So when Su Luo was transferred back to the Navy Headquarters, that was when he was promoted to admiral.
Lu Kai initially sent Su Luo to push the city forward in the hope that he could gather as much intelligence as possible through his ability to detect other people's brain waves.
At the same time, it was also to fulfill the two-year agreement with Katakuri and release Charlotte Linlin.
The requirements to become the director of Impel Down Town are very high, and the review requirements are no lower than becoming the admiral of the Naval Headquarters, because Impel Down Town is, in a sense, more important than the Naval Headquarters.
This importance may not be apparent on a normal day, but once something happens in Impel Down, the turmoil it causes to the world will be greater than that caused by the Navy Headquarters.
Therefore, both the World Government and the Marine Headquarters attach great importance to Impel Down.
Although Lu Kai was reluctant about Zhan Guo's unwillingness to let Su Luo go, he had no choice but to agree. At the same time, he was also trying to help Zhan Guo find a suitable candidate.
After escaping from Impel Down, Charlotte Linlin used the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit to turn water vapor into a new thundercloud, named it Hera, and then rode Hera all the way back to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms.
In the past few years, Katakuri has fought everywhere and accepted challenges from all external enemies, and as a result, he has firmly consolidated his position as one of the Four Emperors.
All of Charlotte Linlin's children also changed from misunderstanding Katakuri at the beginning to supporting him wholeheartedly.
After all, they didn't know that Lukai would release Charlotte Linlin from Impel Down, so Katakuri was their biggest reliance.
Moreover, Katakuri is different from Charlotte Linlin. He will not suddenly suffer from food cravings, nor will he deprive his subordinates and children of their lives.
On the contrary, Katakuri is very emotionally stable and takes great care of his brothers and sisters, sparing no effort in nurturing them.
Today, the Big Mom Pirates are even more united than before Charlotte Linlin was arrested.
When everyone saw Charlotte Linlin suddenly come back, they were overjoyed. This meant that their pirate group now had two Four Emperors-level fighters.
But things did not go as smoothly as they expected.
Two years of imprisonment made Charlotte Lingling's personality even more eccentric and violent.
The first thing she did when she came back was to take away all of Katakuri's authority. Not only did she not praise Katakuri at all, she even scolded him.
Many people felt uncomfortable about this, but seeing that Katakuri had no complaints, no one expressed their dissatisfaction in public. However, the more this happened, the more they felt sorry for Katakuri.
But then, Charlotte Lingling planned how to take revenge on Lu Kai, and on those who had insulted her, by killing their families and destroying the country.
As soon as Charlotte Lingling made this proposal, all her children were immediately frightened.
Katakuri doesn't care about his power being taken away. In his opinion, as long as his family is safe, it's fine. However, Katakuri firmly opposes Charlotte Linlin's proposal.
Charlotte Linlin was furious about this and threatened to completely destroy Katakuri.
Due to the huge disagreement, the two finally had a big battle. The battle ended in a draw, but in the end Katakuri was forced to leave Wano Country.
But Katakuri also took away 17 brothers and 15 sisters, as well as the pirates from the Big Mom Pirates who were willing to follow him.
Afterwards, Katakuri began to build a new base on an uninhabited island suitable for living recommended to him by Lukai, and formed the Katakuri Pirates.
Luke had already told Katakuri what might happen after Charlotte Linlin returned. Given how much Charlotte Linlin values her status and face, she would definitely cause trouble again after she returned.
By that time, Lu Kai will no longer be so kind.
However, in the past two years, Katakuri has figured it out. His goal from the beginning was just to protect his family. If Charlotte Linlin persists in her ways, he will have no choice but to break up with her for the sake of more family members.
After all, Katakuri thought that he had done everything he should do, so he had nothing to regret.
Moreover, Katakuri, who has met Luke frequently in the past two years, has long given up the idea of teaching Luke a lesson.
The more Katakuri interacted with Luke, the more he felt that Luke was a monster.
In the past two years, Katakuri and Lukai have fought at least ten times, but no matter how much Katakuri's strength has improved, the gap between him and Lukai has not changed at all, but has become larger and larger.
Even though Katakuri is now as powerful as Charlotte Linlin, Lukai can still crush him.
Therefore, Katakuri is increasingly inclined to form a firm alliance with Lukai, which is beneficial to him in every way.
The news of Charlotte Linlin's escape from prison and the split of the Big Mom Pirates quickly spread throughout the world. This should have been a huge event, but it did not cause much of a stir around the world.
After all, this incident is comparable to Sandra's attack on Marijoa, the capture of 10 Celestial Dragons, the forcing of the World Government to destroy its own Great Wall, and the execution of Luke.
Later, in cooperation with the World Government and Divine Punishment, Luke rescued the Celestial Dragons based on the information provided by Divine Punishment and once again defeated Sandra.
Compared with Sandra's attack on Impel Down, it is indeed a bit lacking.
The World Government particularly wants to conceal these major events.
However, the hegemony of public opinion has already shifted and is no longer controlled by the world government.
This is what gives the Five Elders the biggest headache.
