I have come to the conclusion that Caribou should not join the crew.
Why ruin such a goated character with this lame ass crew to begin with, the 10th spot should be reserved for lame retconned jobbers like Vivi, Yamato, Bellamy or whomever (not Pedro because Pedro is dead, and he’s not retconned but a one of a kind jobber character who ”sacrificed” himself with a 1 week lifespan left)
Caribou has bigger plans for his future than following a loser like Goofy, you can‘t really work under someone who’s inferior to you it just never made sense. After Caribou saved the raid this how these strawhat bozos repay him? Despicable. They will regret this soon and realize the consequences of messing with someone of Caribou’s calibre.
Unlike the other irrelevant characters he still has some sideplots going for him, he doesn’t need to join the crew to get ample screentime.
Sorry Waribou bros this is the end of the line for me, I don’t want to see one of my favorite characters ruined.
