Of course the new people wouldnt get the attention the originals get, they could show up after time skips(i doubt Luffy will be PK at his current age). All I'm saying is look at the Roger Pirates, Golden Lion Pirates, Red Hair Pirates, and Whitebeard Pirates. I know they were involved in an older age butthey all have nice sized to very large crews(using those as examples because they are strong crews). Shanks crew is a decent size but do we actually know all of them no, only a select few. So there can be a large crew for the Straw Hats with all of your favorite characters keeping the spotlight.
