The sea slugs can be bypassed, but they never expected that because they never expected any of Big Mom's children to be foolish enough to rebel against her. As far as Pudding is concerned, her directions appeared to be the most straightforward and safe method to reach Whole Cake Island except for using the mirror world which was not an option going in. Brulee is helpful for gathering information and moving troops quickly, but that ability can be used against her and her family if she is captured. They seemed to be running blind when the Strawhats were escaping compared to the organized defense that they had earlier. Just goes to show that complacency is never something desirable. Kaido does seem to be the kind who favors a full blown, invasion over something more subtle. He seems like the kind who would use a sledgehammer where flypaper would be better. That is even if he is managing to keep track of all of his enemies currently alive and well within his country. He seems to be taking less than stringent security measures considering that Wano was invaded by two pirate crews who have already caused him grief by cutting off his supply of Smiles. He still seems to be underestimating them, he will come to regret that later.
