I agree, any allies they can get at this point will be very helpful. Ideally I would like for all of their allies that they have helped to pitch in and support them in this battle, but that might be asking too much. Still, it would be a nice scene for chapter 1000 since I assume Oda is planning something special for that particular chapter.
