Let's remember how the whole dea went when Luffy was all alone?

I remember really well how endless episodes and chapters the whole crew was absent from any scene at all. It just went arc after arc with only Luffy. Amazon Lily, Impel Down and Marineford casted only Luffy as the Strawhats representative.

In Dressrossa the same thing occured. Due to certain circumstances, the crew gets sepparated and the story has to continue with only a part of the crew. Who knows why Oda wanted the crew sepparated? I mean, poor Chopper, poor Brook and porr Nami. Not Sanji, Sanji definitely took the better course by not seeing the country of betraying beauties getting leveled.
