If you believe your strong enough, you dont need armadas. It all depends on the captains choices. Some captains believe they dont need a large crew (Luffy, Arlong) but theres others who believe they are nothing without it, but wont admit it (Foxy, Buggy, Krieg, etc), then theres others who want a crew they can deoend on, because theyre strong (Shanks, Kid, Law etc).
