True true, while we are not sure that he has 9 fleets only .. he might have recruited even more stronger pirates whom also are a fleet commanders like his other pre-time-skip crew-mates. I am predicting a huge and wide-scale war when BB and Luffy faces .. and if Luffy is going to face BB and his fleet .. he is going to need a fleet himself .. AND NO .. he does not have to make anyone crew-mates .. he just will need some help from the remaining Whitebeard pirates. Now I am so looking forward to their battle ^_^
