Jinbe is most likely gonna join them after an arc or two, so I highly doubt that anybody else would join them too.

And no, Law is not the kind of man to follow anyone. Plus SHs already have a doctor.

Althoug Jinbe said he won't join the crow until he finishes some business but he still is my strongest guess, But i would like the idea of Boa joining the mugiwara's

Well, this is my own Opinion here.

Jinbei - Already promised the S/H's(Luffy), that he would join the crew after he finished some business he had to take care of first. Help get Fish-Men Island fixed, (Disband from Big MaM), The he has to take care of the Sun Pirate's.
So I see him coming in a later Arc.

As of for right now, I'm Going to go with Rebecca!!! *She's Just Awesome!!*!!

We might end up with more crew members than we expected, a lot of tentatives had been throw around

We had Luffy's nº1 Fan, The Samurai-Family, History's strongest grandson, the gnomes, and maybe someone else i didn't remember. Any of them would bring variety to the crew.

I don't think Rebaca is joining, most likely his father (we all know the soldier is his father, right?) will become human again, and she will stay with him ruling the island.

Yeah, maybe just like Vivi.
Temporary Member.....
Lots of it...

I think Rebecca is a nice addition to the crew (given that she get the mera-mera no mi). She has nice fighting ability which come along the observation haki that Luffy saw, besides I think Luffy will only let her have the fruit under the condition that she joins them and that will be the best way for her too since Blackbeard obviously has the fruit on his radar.

Based on the few latest chapter, probably the next crew member would be

I don't think that Rebecca or toy soldier will be part if the crew...all they want is Doflamingo to go down in order for them to live together. If one of them would join the crew then there is no point. I think Viola will be the next strawhat. Luffy needs a dancer for his crew. And even though she doesnt like it she is a member of the Donquixote Pirates so if Doflamingo stops being a shichibukai (highly possible if he is defeated by Luffy) she will get a bounty and won't be able to stay in Dressrosa as a princess. So I think it will be Viola and that's it. No more new people in the strawhats crew. Except from vivi, Bon-chan and jinbe who can come with them anytime they want

BUMP ?

I think it´s on again!

I always thought, that a little girl would be nice, since it´ts another "kind" of member and would "complete" the crew. A cute innocent Person, which supports for a example a strong character, like giving Zoro directions and stuff :3

AND now there is this sweet girl named O-Tama; a litte Kunoichi <3 i would understand, if they didn´t take her with them, but this potential!

She could be a little helper or a "spy" or just to push the monster trio *_* i would love that!

Don´t destroy my dream ?

Team Tama here.
Survived a Kaido attack and potentially can become stronger than Poseidon as she can tame beasts of land, sky and sea.
Nami could become her teacher in ninjitsu.

SHPs could take her to Ace's grave. The sphinx called Tama is there as well, forshadowing.

There you go. It was Jinbe and he at least made the list. The poll is done.

But why was this a poll on not an open topic?
Rebecca was 16? Ok then.

I know the crew is technically full (if we count Luffy as part of his projected "10" ), but I'm wondering if Yamato might join them.

She's never left the island and is gonna want to set out, she's got a connection to Ace, and she's literally asked to join in 985.

It'd be nice to have another member join directly after an arc, since we've waited for Jinbe to physically join them for so long. And the fact that she's an overpowered female character is a nice bonus too.

What do you think, will she actually join?

2021 writing here: yamato will be next crew memeber

2023 writing here, just as Egghead seems to build up to an ending.
Let me put in writing that I am 100% convinced that no one who wasn´t teased or shown in the first half can join as there is no time to flash anyone out. Especially with how the manga is written after the time skip. Let´s look at the last 3 members, aka the crew members with the least page time. A shipwright was needed the moment Ussop´s shitty repair jobs were shown (later arcs like Wano show that he is now a top-tier hand worker). Brook was seeded with Laboon, Luffy wanted a musician early on and he wasn´t introduced that much after Franky. Jinbe was seeded through Arlong and was a lead character from Impel Down to Seabody. His joining was set in stone in the blood transfusion scene, one of the more interesting scenes in the whole manga.
We had to wait till Wholecake´s 3rd act for him to actually join and he skipped way too much of Wano or media tie-ins (Stampede or 2023´s Odysee skipping him is weird AF) but even this late addition goes back to chapter 528 in 2009 + Arlong. Oda´s original crew drafts from the 90s even included a Fishman. The unredacted version first shown in 2020: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/3/38/Early_Crew_Complete.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20200925174620
The 2 weird-looking characters on the left are a carpenter (the Klabautermann kinda took this design) and a botanist. Robin´s fruit and time skip Ussop cover that so all aspects of the sketch became canon with 2 major diversions. Vivi, a last-second idea, is missing due to that reason and Robin is the least rooted in all of this.

I like Carrot, her position would have been the lookout and she works well with the crew but there is no real reason why she needs to go with Luffy to the end of the line. Yamato exists only in Wano act 3 so putting that character in the crew is full-on lunacy. The Wano trio Luffy invited are perfect Grand Fleet members on the other hand even if Momo can´t really lead them on the sea due to his position outside of time-limited missions. Put a Mink or two on that ship and off into the Final War they sail. The Amazons and a version of the Sun Pirates are also perfect for the Grand Fleet. And I guess the Franky Family. X for Nakama is a terrible question this late in the game. We are in The "Final Saga" after all. The fifth after the time skip. The crew is full.meme

That said, I can see Vivi rejoining for a limited time. Let´s put the odds at 60/40. Either till the end of the conflict with Imu or to Laught Tale if the island is visited after the war with the World Government. She can´t publically return to Arabasta without it being nuked and a Yanko might need a diplomat. Luffy has claimed land, a fleet, the ruler of the planet wants him dead and the news is fabricating bullshit left and right. There is no way she would stay on the ship longer if the crew isn´t disbanded after Luffy is crowned pirate king after Imu is deposed.
Oda called her crew member 5.5 in an SBS, she has a jolly roger like the rest of the crew and she has card 0013 in the Vivre Card - One Piece Visual Dictionary. The crew is 1-10, the ships are 11-12 and Roger -the first named character- is 14. Here: https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Vivre_Card_-_One_Piece_Visual_Dictionary/Cards
Don´t think about those numbers too much, they just mean that she is part of the crew section, cuz she was. Imagine if she fully came back on the ship after over 2 decades and bits parts on covers and Levely + Egg Head. Very few manga could do such a thing. A reunion is currently built up, 100% happening even, but does that means she has to re-join? Maybe, maybe not but it makes little sense to consider anyone else. Not Bonney, who ended up being princess number XY, some marine or whoever. Caribou for Nakama is of course hilarious and he heard Luffy´s dream but the revolution can have him to cuncude that cover story.

Mark me down for: 60% Vivi, 0% No one fully new and 10% Someone already revealed ages ago. None of these odds are for epilogue chapters or Two Piece: Electric Gumiloo.
