Luo Lan traveled through the pirate world, becoming captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Squad Zero and activating a god-level manga system. He knew full well the fate of the Whitebeard Pirates at Marineford. So, he retreated to gain experience and improve his own strength. With the Battle of Marineford imminent, Whitebeard needed a period of intensive treatment due to health issues, so he temporarily appointed Luo Lan as acting captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. Months later, when Whitebeard completed his treatment, he was utterly stunned! Marco: "The Undying Flame is the true way to activate the Phoenix Flame!" Jozu: "Eighth Death Gate, open! Who can withstand my [Night Jozu] move?" Vista: "When I master the dual-sword style, my Zanpakutō, Nosei, that's when you prepare your final words!" Little Oz: "The super-multiplication technique in Butterfly Transformation Mode is so fascinating!" ... Whitebeard: "I asked you to temporarily take charge of our group, and you've actually raised the captains' strength to that of a general?!!"

Lu Ming used to regard the Celestial Dragons as termites and scum. When he traveled to One Piece and became a Celestial Dragon, he found that being a Celestial Dragon was really nice. He could drink the best wine, play with the best women, and command the admirals to come and go at will. The only thing that made Lu Ming dissatisfied was that there were too many people sharing power with him. So Lu Ming sprayed his hair with hairspray and stood in the sky of the holy land of Mary Geoise: "This world only needs one Celestial Dragon!" PS: More women, more Celestial Dragons
