Agree, and not only the alliance (and Rolling pirates) but somehow the civvies (a.k.a civilians) will somehow play a part to assist the Strawhats, maybe as public support and vote to overthrow the WG systematically.

The pirates they befriended will be allies and contribute fighting power alongside the Strawhats, while the civvies (since one won't expect them to pick up weapons to fight) will rally public support for them to fight against WG.

This is what I think will happen during the final war
