That's funny. Afterall, I mean One Piece doesn't have a history of "killing" characters only for them to actually haven't died, right? I don't have to name the characters. You know who they are.
So you're wasting spots on the list for "joke" characters? The list is useless then since it isn't as accurate as it could be in terms of how people actually feel. Multiple choices is a joke too as the likihood more than 1 more Strawhat joins is highly unlikely. I don't believe a new character will join after they find the last Lode Ponegliff as then Laugh Tale is right around the corner. It would be hitching a ride for a completely new character so only other characters would be someone Luffy already knows AND who contributed directly in helping Luffy become the Pirate King. Pedro fits that depending on his status.
Pedro was essential to them getting their 2nd and 3rd Lode Ponegliffs. Pedro provided information and distraction for Brook. Pedro sacrificed himself for Luffy and half the crew to escape to live for the opportunity of defeating Kaido. Pedro asked Luffy what he planned on doing after defeating Kaido which Luffy had no clue of thinking that far ahead. But Pedro had. That leaves a chance that Pedro thought how he could help Luffy with the last Ponegliff. How Pedro either faked his death or protected himself similar to Candy Armor I don't know. But there was no body. Hence hope.
All the characters on the list are jokes. There isn't any good reasoning Oda would make them crewmates IMO.
No. Sulong Pedro and the other 3 transformstions must happen. IIRC Luffy didn't see Sulong in Wano and it would be a crime in writing for Luffy not to react to the transformation. I'll keep rolling the dice on Pedro being in this Germa cover story or the next cover story. All Strawhats besides Luffy have been in cover stories, FYI. It could mean something.
For me it's either Pedro as the Shipguard or a new character that is integral to getting a copy of the last Lode Ponegliff who has a clear crew position.

What is the point of the poll then? To be funny?
