Okay, you've pretty much listed everyone luffy has made friends with and I don't think some of the listed will ally with luffy in terms of digging along side him in a war similar to whitebeard. Here's why:
Crocodile: conditional to whether or not he gains from it himself.
Shanks: milestone for luffy to beat, no way would shanks bail luffy out after he's come so far.
Rayleigh: he's not going anywhere, he'll sit and watch and comment but let's face it, he has no real reason to get involved and so most likely won't.
Skypiea people: highly doubt they'll come down to earth. They don't even know what's going on down there.
Newkama pirates & revolutionaries: I just don't see luffy and dragon fighting side by side. Sabo though... The part of friction between dragon and luffy seems believable, but mainly because the idiot gene seems to have skipped a generation.
Mihawk is just extremely unlikely, I can really only see him juking it out with zoro and wrapping up that storyline.
Coby yes, Garp no
Smoker and issho, perhaps.
Basically anyone from gol d rogers time is a no, their era is over and their story has been... Partially explored.
I'm not sure how the marine situation will resolve, which is what I love about op. I mean they can't exactly just kill akainu and I doubt he will change his absolute justice persona.
The last fight will probably be Blackbeard and his 10 crews vs luffy and allies.
As for current events, I wonder what'll happen to doffy after luffy kicks the crap out of him. I find it hard to believe Oda will kill him off, but then again... It is oda! Can't wait for dress rosa to complete!
Edit: I also have a problem with how weak smoker is! To not even damage vergo, let alone joker is about sanji level... And for him to mimic the garp/roger relationship, he'll need to step it up a lot.
I would not say that about Rayleigh and the Skypeia people won't help, those 2 years of training with them will not go to waste, look what it did for Robin. Luffy does have a huge fighting force that will follow him, it wasn't big before but after the Whitebeard Saga, where he gave the order to back up Luffy (final orders op). In addition almost every puppet and the nation of Dressrosa is indebted to Luffy at this very moment, in addition he also has the people of Skypeia, Alabasta, and Fishman Island who owe him a debt of gratitude. Luffy is the type of person that you want to follow, and i think when he needs them everyone will willingly fight for him.
I agree, I don't like how weak Smoker is, But i think i can understand it. I think you are extremely underating virgo, Virgo is fucking stronk as fuck. He is probably physically stronger then most characters maybe even doffy himself, but he doesn't have a devilfruit, and he got whooped by Law who did have an OP devil fruit.
Smoker isn't that weak, he did lose almost all his fights, but they were versus Law (op), Doffy (possibly more OP), and he got pwnt by Virgo, who is doffys right handman.
