I too was thinking of how at a disadvantage the BM pirates could be when getting close to the sea. Nearly everyone introduced is a devil fruit user. I don't think we have seen yet what the sea would also do to the homies. The homies are a little confusing in this aspect as we have seen boat homies that doesn't seem affected, I figured they would react similar to Moriah's zombies but the boat thing throws me off. If the Sun Pirates were to arrive they could easily turn the tide, dousing much of the area with water attacks.
