Also, when Sanji says "I have no allies I can count on", he's clearly referring to those inside of Mama's territory. He's telling Purin that there isn't anyone around him in Germa or Mama's crew that would help him out of this situation. He OBVIOUSLY knows that he can count on his captain and crew, but again he's trying to protect them from Mama and Germa right now. Oda is simply trying to convey the gravity of the situation. He wants to make it appear that there are no loopholes to exploit this time, so a big conflict is inevitable. I'm excited to see how it develops.
