    The next Straw Hat

    Who do you think the next member of Luffy's crew is gonna be?

    My money is on either Perona or Boa, probably Boa since Luffy really needs someone to teach him how to control that Hako of his if he wants to have even a chance of surviving in the New World, but recent developments place Perona in a pretty favorable position too

    I guess Margarette is also a possibility but i don't really see it happening

    I don't see Boa joining up since she has some responsibilities for her Island. I don't think the next one has been introduced yet.

    To be honest....
    I think the BEST addition to the crew at this time would be a fishman.

    I would say Hachi, but they already have a cook. Maybe Boa can go, and leave Margaret in charge or something?

    Margarette (spelling?) seemed like a pretty obvious "join my crew" candidate, but seeing how she didn't follow Luffy to Impel Down it seems like a long shot now. But who knows, maybe they'll meet there somehow - "we came because we were worried". Er. Or maybe not...

    Besides, the crew already has a sniper. What positions are still "open"?

    As Assertn pointed out, they definitely need a fishman. They need to balance out the fact that they have several hammers. Right now they have no one who feels at home in the sea, which is not a good thing considering all the water and sea creatures they are usually surrounded with. IF and WHEN they get to fishman island, they should definitely pick up either a Fishman or a mermaid.

    I vote for a mermaid! Unless it's a really cool fishman.

    Anyway, I can't really see Boa joining them for various reasons already stated plus the fact she has so much presence that it would be hard to imagine her becoming just another crew member. She's used to being a ruler of an island and a shichibukai.

    Margaret was a nice chick but got no history and reason to join the Straw hats and thus I think falls short of Luffy's requirements. The others all have a reason of their own to be there.

    Perona would need to develop and change a lot to be even considered for such a position.

    I vote for pandaman to become a crew member

    A flying zoan type would be good alternative to a fishman.

    Although didn't they say something back in the Alabasta arc about there being only 3 known flying zoan types or something?

    I remember that too

    An ancient Zoan would be awesome, like a pterodactyl

    If we really thought this from the pov of a pirate crew, what they are missing is a parrot. They should just find a really smart one.

    No, you missed the fishman part. A fishman who's eaten the kawai¹ kawai fruit (parrotfish?).

    ¹ If I recall correctly, that's parrot in Japanese.

    koi fish?

    Only thing... a fishman that becomes a hammer in water kind of defeats the point.

    Maybe the hammer part only applies to humans?
    You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie

    Hmmm... if the elephant sword fell in the sea, would it die?

    Any sword would get rusty and thus eventually die in sea water.

    Oda like to throw curve balls so it's possible that Boa might join the crew.

    edit: damn sorry, i forgot this was in the anime section
