It's pathetic that instead of a formidable crew Oda is just focused on showing off Luffу and Nika, and the rest of the group feels useless compared to that.
I wish Oda would follow his own logic, like when Sanji asked Usopp to shoot, because "there are things I cannot do but you can", the same should apply to Luffу, because otherwise it seems like all he needs is the feeding machine and probably Nami to help him navigate the sea.
