You have to remember, Whitebeard had 16 division commanders and only 5 ships. The other 43 were only affiliated crews, they didn't sail about with WB all the time, in fact, when Shanks and Whitebeard had their meeting it was only their flagships that were present, though that may have been a agreement between the two not to bring too much military power to the meeting. So, while I get that you think it would be ridiculous for us to start leaving behind nakama, Mihawk said Luffy greatest ability was his perpetually making allies everywhere he goes, so I think the Strawhats may eventually have a fleet of ships comparable to those of the Yonko. I personally think that all the Supernovas will become one big crew, I reckon Sabondy was all about foreshadowing with Kizaru, the Tenryubito, Rayleigh and the other 9 all being introduced there. Anyway, I understand your point better now, still don't agree though
