Why the fuck can't King and Queen just do shit themselves
I thought it was bad in the beginning but it makes sense. Someone has to order the crew around since Kaido isn't smart enough for that and is just a brute.
They are organizing the counter attack and blocking access to kaido.
The longer the assault takes, the better their odds of winning are since there are a lot more people on their side.
They will probably intervene if it's really necessary like when Queen caught Luffy and Zoro and threw them back on the floor.
