Talk:Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance

Different Groups Trivia
Five different groups doesn't make it the largest allied group. The Straw Hats Grand Fleet has seven and the Whitebeard Pirates has 16 divisions not counting the allies. Rhavkin (talk) 16:19, April 13, 2016 (UTC)

Those are subordinates, not allies. The 16 Whitebeard divisions are part of his crew. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 16:19, April 13, 2016 (UTC)

They aren't subordinates according to Chapter 800, but lets say they are, the seven groups ware allied among themselves before coming to Luffy. And we don't know enough about the recruitment of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Spade Pirates for example, ware Independent before joining and then their captain became a division leader.

"These seven rowdy ruffians...have stepped forward as Straw Hat’s followers!" not allies, subordinates, even if they did invite themselves. And there is nothing to support the reasoning that the 16 divisions are not part of Whitebeard's main crew. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 16:46, April 13, 2016 (UTC)

They aren't subordinates. Luffy isn't their leader. They decided to work together before even suggesting the sake to Luffy. Rhavkin (talk) 09:01, April 14, 2016 (UTC)

Kaido is right about the fleet and Whitebeard Pirates, but the Whitebeard allies are much more then five and they are called allies and not subordinates for a reason. The Whitebeard allies are the largest allied group but since their current status is unknown the trivia should say "With five different groups in this alliance, they are 'currently the largest known number of allied groups" with the Whitebeard allies in a sub-note. 87.69.142.211 09:10, April 14, 2016 (UTC)

History
Should Law's and the Kozuki Clan's history really be part of the alliance history? All that happened before the alliance was formed. The Buggy and Alvida Alliance and XXX Gym Martial Arts Alliance history section starts when the alliance was formed not from the reasons for seeking allies. Rhavkin (talk) 19:49, March 13, 2017 (UTC)

You have a point. But they do explain how the alliance came to be in a certain way. I feel like that is worth noting. The other two alliances don't have much of a background as well, but I get what you mean. 20:13, March 13, 2017 (UTC)

So at least it deserve a major clean up. The relationship between Law and Rosinante, and the samurais separation is irrelevant, and nowhere it is said that Law allied himself with Caesar "in preparation for the alliance..." and not simply gathering information.

I agree, be my guest. 21:27, March 13, 2017 (UTC)

Firetank Pirates
I don't think the Firetank or Sun Pirates should be added to the alliance gallery yet. The purpose of this alliance, as stated in Chapter 819 and the page's introduction, is expressly to take down Kaido. The alliance right now is between the Firetank Pirates, Sun Pirates, and a tiny portion of the NMPS Alliance for an entirely different purpose. Neither of the two other crews have shown any interest in working with the larger alliance against Kaido yet. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 20:37, March 13, 2017 (UTC)

I agree. They shouldn't be included in this particular alliance. 21:26, March 13, 2017 (UTC)

I think it's a little more complicated than that. The question is whether or not the Sanji Retrieval Team are a subgroup of the alliance or just of the Straw Hats?

It's a given fact that the Fire Tank Pirates are allies with the retrieval team, but are they allies of the main group (whichever it may be)? The closest example is the Impel Down prisoners, who followed a (singular) part of the Buggy Alvida Alliance, and as a result are honor bound to its entirety.

On one hand, Luffy asked to pause the alliance activity until he brings Sanji back. On the other hand, he is aided by Pedro and Carrot.

Now, the derived decision affects the gallery, navibox, bounty, alliance strength, etc. and also, if the team aren't part of the alliance, then the Totto Land Arc shouldn't by in the history section as well.

Now I think that alliance with the retrieval team, count as alliance with the main crew which is the Straw Hat Pirates, who themselves are a part of the NPMS Alliance, so if you count one you have to count the other. If you argue that if they only allied themselves with part of the main crew(s) doesn't count, then I would like to point out that some of the allies in the Straw Hats "Allies" tab allied themselves with just a part of the crew, be it during their separation period or their split in the Dressrosa Saga.
