We were promised a "Huge incident". Manga is getting closer to ending. If they don't do shit now, there won't be any time for them to do any shit later.

If they read the papers "Starwhat goofy under siege in egghead" and don't come, might as well disband the fleet cause what's the fucking point?

vivre card burning up in wano is one thing. But them seeing the egghead siege news a whole day ago and not doing shit completely erases any purpose they had or will have.
Not using them for Wano was really bad, but LOda still has a shot at justifying their existence by having them play a key part in the inevitable Reverse Marineford 2.0 Hachinosu arc where Luffy has to go save Garp either after Egghead or Elbaf since Blackbeard has a really big crew with plenty of allies, but I'm not holding my breath. If Oda never actually does anything with them again outside of cover stories, its just gonna make a lot of the chapters wasted on them during Dressrosa look even more pointless and the arc as a whole needlessly long, much like with Wano.
