A lot of people are indebted to the Straw Hats and when the war comes, they're going to have a whole lot of allies.

The Rolling Pirates and the Thriller Bark Victims Association, the Rosy Life Riders, the Sun Pirates, the Heart Pirates, the Barto Club, Cavendish's crew, and basically any pirate group related to all of the Colosseum fighters.

From the marines, we'll probably see Aokiji, and I wouldn't be surprised if G-5 side with him in the end, or if Brownbeard and the centaurs that turned themselves in on Punk Hazard show up too.

And let's not forget all of the nations that will want to support him: Drum Kingdom, Alabasta, Skypeia (if they bother to concern themselves with Blue Sea politics), Water 7, Fishman Island (with its new army and the power of Poseidon), the Happo Navy, and finally King Riku's Dressrosa and the Tontatta Tribe.

And that's just ''so far. ''The Straw Hats will continue to rally support as they move through the New World and if finding One Piece starts a revolt against the World Government, then you can bet that nearly half of the world will align themselves with Luffy.

Just as a footnote: what I'd love to see is Water 7 as a mobile battleship. Not because I think it's likely to happen, just because I think it would be freakin' awesome.
