Think what you what, but Luffy and his crew will be going against the Beasts Pirates later in the story, so Luffy needs every opportunity to grow or he'll never get ahead.

As for the Big Mom situation, I doubt we've seen the last of Caesar and Germa 66. Let's just wait to see what they'll do before this arc is over. And let's wait to see how Sanji's plan will play out.
