Hey, so there actually was a couple pieces of really interesting information that slipped over our heads! Our friend aohige gives us the 411:
Quote:
Whitebeard pirates commanders are not necessary numbered in the order of their strength!
They are equal to each other, and younger number does not necessary mean they are stronger or have more authority.
The 43 allied pirates of WB are, obviously, not part of the WB crew. They however respect Whitebeard, and in the case of need they gather to help.
Ace's case is a little different, since his entire pirate crew was merged into Whitebeard pirates.

Yes, very interesting, indeed. Looks like this explains how guys like Jozu and Vista can be numbered lower than Ace despite them having a couple decades' seniority over him. The whole deal about the NW allies is no surprise, of course. Still, it would be nice if Oda gave us a little more info about Ace's old crew....
