Problem 1 - Katakuri: I do not understand... why hasn't any1 used Haki against Katakuri so far... Alabasta arc aside (as the concept of Haki wasn't introduced until later) But I expect a Shichibukai level person  to at least have Busoshoku Haki. Yet, Both times he tried to hit Katakuri was with Fishman Karate. Even Luffy fell for him twice without Haki-ing himself up.

Problem 2 - Smoothie: She had been the most unexplored commander with barely her powers shown. She has to jump in quick before Oda gets called an opportunist. Though She sure will, with Big Mom hurt and the ruckus around... Those who fell by her shriek are down for some time... But those who didn't, can and have to tackle the rebellion.

Problem 3 - Caeser and Brulee: Caeser is loyal to himself. Until he has assured himself his heart, he is not going to betray the alliance. And he wants to stay safe from Big Mom, so he has the motivation to stick with the cause. Brulee is in too deep to confront big mom again. As we have seen how ruthless Linlin is to her children even on their most honest mistakes, we can all agree on the punishment she will have when she faces Big Mom; if that ever happens. Brulee knows her fate, but still, there is a possibility for her defection.

Problem 4 - Vengeful Vinsmokes - I seriously don't consider Vinsmokes as a threat... An Anti-hero, sure. But, with everything going on the way it is, Vinsmokes are sure to realize they are in peril, and enemy of the enemy is a friend. Even if they don't accept Sanji, they will at least see the efforts of Straw-hats as friendly, and align themselves with them. And with their Raid-suits on, they are more help to Bege's Plan than a problem. If katakuri and smoothie are an unexpected hindrance, Vinsmokes are sure gonna make this sticky ride a smooth one! (Get it... Hehe... soooo Funny!)
