The Big Mom Pirates had only two truly powerful fighters: Linlin and Katakuri.
Oven, who had inherited some of Linlin's physical gifts and possessed the Heat-Heat Fruit's power, barely qualified as a Top Combatant.
Lucifer and Cassius, whom Linlin had higher hopes for, still needed more time to grow.
Perhaps this war would bring about their transformation.
There was also "Ant King" Meruem, the monster Typhon had created.

Queen was something of a hidden asset for the Beasts Pirates. As a scientist, his true combat strength far exceeded what he had displayed at sea in previous years.

"Overlord Dragon" Zack and Anz of the Overlord Dragon Pirates.
And "Demon King" Nash, captain of the Demon King Pirates.
Counting Meruem, the six
