It's a crew of less than ten people in the New World and their captain is a man who enjoys making enemies out of the world government, local villains, the most nefarious pirates, shichibukai... You name it. It would be a veritable suicide not to gain as much fighting skills as they can whilst still staying true to their original interests. However, that doesn't mean they would all enjoy fighting or seek fights like Luffy & Zoro. Nor does it mean they would just uselessly sit on their hands whistling away. Even if it hasn't got so much attention lately, but Nami is still drawing her maps and studying strange weather phenomena. Sanji is trying new ingredients and recipes. Chopper is studying medicine and physiology as much as he can. Franky is developing and tinkering. Robin is exploring every ruin and remain of ancient times they come across.

It's a shounen fighting manga, so of course the focus is on fights and such, but like I said, I'm still happy all the other stuff making the characters who they are isn't completely forgotten. And no, I'm not making any proclamations about how things should be. I'm just stating how they are and why I'm happy with it.
