That was an awesome pic, and it got me thinking. When its Luffy's time for a big showdown (kinda like what Whitebeard is having now) who will show up to aid the Strawhats.
Along their way, the Strawhats have made lots and lots of allies, who I'm pretty sure is set up by Oda to help them in their final battle, my list would be :- Laboon and Crocus
- The 2 Elbaf giants in Little Garden (maybe along with their crew)
- The Royal Drum Kingdom Armada
- The Royal Alabasta armada
- Those monkeys from Jaya
- Ganforr and his army
- Water 7 crew (shipwrights and the Franky Family)
- Lola and her crew
- Those slaves they freed in Shabondy Auction house
of course the list will add along the way, but so far this is what i've managed to come up with. ANybody care to share their thoughts too??
