I've honestly come to realize that Linlin may be a huge ally in the future, even if she is fought and defeated here. There are clear hints and ties to Elbaf for sure, but that doesn't mean she has to be an antagonist there.
Who knows how the rest of this arc ends up, but this chapter has convinced me that regardless of how she flip flops her personality, Oda is definitely looking to redeem her character. Her finding out what she did to those kids is extremely important to that.
