That wasn't an issue pre ts. If the strawhats needed to do something. They fuckin got it done. Whether it was oars or aokiji.
Sanji and zoro especially
It never mattered back then. Oda gives too much focus to luffy and doesn't rely on the crew as much. It kinda sucks and its a key element we've been missing since pre ts in a battle shonen. They only get minor missions.
Battle isn't even my main complaint. It was just a waste of a chapter that could've progressed the plot in a more efficient manner
