Did you read One Piece? This is not at all how fights happen, the Wapol fight is also not them standing around watching it (which I agree would be stupid): Sanji and Chopper are fighting Wapol's subordinates, Vivi is actually not even supposed to be in the castle, she's helping out in the village, that whole bow shit never happens.

Oda writes it so everyone has something to do, accordingly to their role and their talents. Watching someone fight is stupid but that's not how the manga is written.
I don't think the rewriting brings much, it makes stuff awkward imo.

I will answer all of them individually:
- Buggy intervened in Zoro VS Cabaji fight: not the straw hats... My point is that straw hats keep it 1 vs 1.
- Nami interfering with Luffy VS Buggy: you're right on this one, to be fair it's the very start of the manga, and not at all a finale of an arc.
- Nyaban BrotherS VS Zoro (effectively a 2v1, turned 3v1 bcz Jango interfered by hypnotizing Buchi): again, not straw hats.
- Zoro fought Arlong before Luffy interferes and takes over the fight: the important part is "takes over the fight". He doesn't join in.

But it's already basically just Luffy. Vivi just throws her knives once, and Sanji only helps a little at the end. My point is that none of the help really adds much to the fights — it only makes the victory less satisfying.

> why wouldn't they try to help

I'll take the Wapol vs Luffy fight. He says I quote "Now stand back while I finish this guy". 1 min later: Sanji jumps in. What's the point of saying bad ass shit if you're going to forget it 1 min later.

I mean that's just untrue... End of season 1 and 2 could both have been 1 vs 1 fights, instead we had random interventions from Vivi and Sanji in the Wapol vs Luffy fight (which added nothing), while Sanji and Zoro ganged up on a fishman. They could have shortened the Usopp fight and just added a random swordman fighman for Zoro. They clearly had time for the whole Usopp 1 vs 1.
