Too many good guys that are helping the alliance, making it a bit unfair for the enemy. Now the Calamities might get jumped, same with Perospero. As long as the Calamities look impressive by the end of everything (by taking down or handling some of the wounded Scabbards), it's cool, I guess.
I'm curious to see what Apoo will do. If he's switching, best to do that soon. If not, I guess he'll go down and regret joining the Beast Pirates. Either way, Drake should get some feats soon.
