@silversatyr:
Dunno about that. DonnnyC prooooobably wouldn't have helped Luffy out if he still had his pin head. That was all on Luffy.
Don Chinjao is only one of that lot that had benefited from actions that are "all on Luffy", most were there because they were freed from being toys.
The Don and his boys didn't add Luffy as reason for going against Doffy -verbally… though he did admit the grudge is gone-, He gave 2 reasons for going against Doffy though, to "crush Doflomingo's business" and added to repay the debt to Usopp to reasons for helping. He said so here
Others made clear they were going against Doffy and ignoring the bounties was due to God Usopp.
Two -Hajrudin the giant and Cavendish- make clear they are forgetting any resentment they had toward Luffy because of Usopp.
Hajrudin, Don Chinjao and Ideo all say they have a debt to repay (first two clearly say its to Usopp and we can assume due to context Ideo means the same)
Elizabello is only one to say its a different reason than Luffy or Usopp -his country owes a debt to King Riku
So nope, this huge "alliance" (too many disagreement for true alliance) in this chapter is not due to Luffy's ability to make allies
Mind, I will say again, I do agree with Mihawk's comment Luffy IS able to make allies, I am saying that the huge gathering is not due to Luffy
