L did every case by himself. Yes, Watari did help him, but for the most part it was mostly him as a leader. And even when he has a small group of multiple people that are willing to fight for justice, he decides this is an emergency to society's construct as a whole and decides to use his last bit of hope. Another perspective would help. Another point of view....of someone, who is just as smart as him. Someone who ran away from the orphanage only leaving him a single letter. V should be 19 now, and L decides to contact her to get help with the Kira case.
