Less than half an hour after Lucifer's departure, a pirate ship bearing the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates arrived.

Sakura Flower Island was part of Whitebeard's territory. If someone caused trouble here, the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't simply turn a blind eye. If they did, their authority would be questioned, and soon, anyone would think they could act recklessly in the Four Emperors' territories.
