Yeah the Idea so far is that the SH are making allies not subbordiantes so i think we will continue woth that trend to the end of one piece.

As to the question what will happen it is till way too early to even guess how one piece will end, but i think that thewre will be an epic ark after the SH are gonna recieve the One piece. The ark will probably revolve around dragon and the overthrowing of the world goverment. If i may make a guess i think that somehow one of the SH is gonna get captured or atleast a very important character that will be named later and Luffy is gonna decide to atack the marines (sort of like a second WB war). The difference will be that Dragon is gonna move with luffy. Now here is where the idea of allies (not armada) comes in that allies will join in with the SH to take down the Navy and the world goverment.

SO i think that there will not be an armada but this doesnt mean that the possibility of a makeshift aramda consisting of the allies of the SH pirates could eventualy be introduced to the plot. TO sum up i think we are gonna be stuck with are 9 lovable characters till the end maybe new members but the number still will be close to 9.
