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.
but still.. he isn't not that OP, all we saw from him was capturing some low-medium pirates ( most with no DF or any HAKI powers). I can see your point.. fighting Law is quite tricky, he has a quite a nice DF. Vergo its just about HAKI enhancements (and Vergo is the only one we saw being able to use it on hes entire body). And doffy.. once you know about the strings shouldn't be that hard
