Short comment about Enel: The most overrated character in one piece.he is just a weekling with an imbalanced DF.Kinda like Ceasar.If you take out his ability he is a medium fighter and if you rememer the fight with Luffy, most of the time he was running away and hiding behind obstacles(golden sphere)

About the marineford war: I'll have to disagree with some of your points.First of all the contribution of the 7bukai to the war was huge.Doflamingo beat one commander(Atmos) and held another on his tracks(Jozu).Mihawk faught a commander(Vista) and held him up from advancing.Hancock did a minor job but still took out a whole lot of new world pirates.A combination of 3 7bukai took out a major threat that was Oars Jr.

On the other hand, about the ID escapees, first i have to say that Jinbe would be there either way since he is a WB ally.Further, Luffy didn't really make a difference since he only took out marines up till captani rank.About croc and Iva i agree with you.But the biggest difference is the situation.I believe that if Ace wasn't captured the course would be completely different.WB would be able to go all out from the begining, time wouldn't be an asset and most important of all the battle would not take place on marine ground(huge advantage).
