Charlotte Linlin's death caused a massive uproar across the seas.
That was only because the Pirate World now had quite a few more powerful figures. If this had been the original story, the shock it caused would likely have been far greater.
After Charlotte Linlin died, the Navy began infiltrating the New World again. The Dragon Hunting Pirates did not seem to care much about it. Doflamingo simply handed several unimportant countries on the outskirts of Totto Land over to the Navy.
After all, Totto Land in the New World had many territories that were practically exclaves. Charlotte Linlin had only brought them under her command because they produced delicious sweets.
