User blog comment:Dandalore/Strongest Crew Ever!!/@comment-1781187-20110205020509

sure they are some of the strongest characters and just like their Straw hat counter part, professionals in their own field. but as a group i dont think they would work. Koshiro is too "nice" to be a pirate, blantaly refusing to teach his students how to be pirates. Shanks is a great captain but he isnt as strong as he could be becasue he is missing an arm. Saul and Bellemere could get along, seeing as their ex marines, but bellemere seems to serious to go along with what others want. hiriluk is a quack and his doctoring skills arent that good, considering he hurt most of his patients. and i think zeff would compete to be captain, despite being weakened, as he is missing his leg. and those are just the terms for getting along. there is no navigator, laboon has no necessary skill, tom doesnt seem to have any fighting experience, hiriluk has bombs and concocted weapons thats about it, both zeff and shanks are not as strong as they were and bellemere is only a captain in the marines (morgan was at equal rank and was weak). and we dont even know if Saul had any abilities past other than being a giant, who already have super strength
