User blog comment:AYET/Strawhat Pirates Armada/@comment-5387880-20130506185338

In my opinion there will never be an armada of the SHps because then the theme of OP would change completely. We would focus on many people instead of 10-11 like we are doing for 15 years now. Also an armada is used for taking control of islands so u could keep people of the armada in the island to protect it, that IS NOT THE GOAL of luffy and even if he wants to take some land for himself he would put allies-friends to protect it and help when there is an emergency.

''Yes but how would the SHs fight with no military power if there is a war against the WG? ''They would use all of their allies-friends that they made in their way to find the OP. Jimbe (if he doesn't join), the fishmen, the WB pirates, the friends of the strawhat members before they were formed [johny, yosaku, sabo,   the 3 friends of usopp that will be probably men by that time etc). There will be some hundreds more by the end of OP so it should be enough.

''' P.S. No need for an armada. '''
