At this time, Carrot is 90% a strawhat
You can make a stronger argument for Kin'emon - the dude's been travelling with the crew for 3x longer than Vivi did now
I'd actually love to see Kin'emon join though I doubt it - there's several reasons for this:
1. He's strong. Not mad strong like Luffy/Zoro/Sanji/Jinbe but he would comfortably fit 5th in the SH power hierarchy and what a crew challenging Yonko needs more than anything else is power
2. He's funny - every SH (except Jinbe) has some degree of humour in their character - he fits in
3. I think it would be cool to have a crew with Brook the Ice swordsman (1 sword), Kin'emon the Fire swordsman (2 swords) and Zoro the Wind swordsman (3 swords)
4. All Strawhats have nowhere to go when they join the crew:
- Zoro was an aimless bounty hunter with no way home
- Nami wanted to leave her home to achieve her goal of drawing a world map
- Usopp wanted to leave his home to achieve his goal of becoming a brave pirate
- Sanji wanted to leave his home to achieve his goal of finding the all-blue
- Chopper was rejected in his homeland and forced to leave
- Robin was a fugitive running from the World Government
- Franky was a fugitive running from the World Government
- Brook had no home or friends, he was lonely
- Jinbe is wanted by the World Government and therefore cant remain in Fishman Island
- Kin'emon's goal of reinstalling the Kozuki line would potentially displace him - afterall, a wanted fugitive/ex pirate cant protect Momonosuke. He might have to leave
5. It kinda bares some parallel to Oden. Kin'emon to me seems to be Oden's emulator as he models himself after Oden
6. Kin'emon's fruit fits the number-puns that Oda's been setting up for the crew (all DFs names can be interpreted into number pairs and with the addition of the Fuku Fuku no Mi, completes numbers 0-9 for the crew. Go, Mu, Hi, To, Fu, Ku, Ha, Na, So, Ru can all be assigned numbers)
7. He has incredible rapport with Brook, Luffy and Zoro already - usually crewmates have rapport with Luffy. Carrot, for example, is lacking in this

I know am being greedy now, but I want three to join the SHs!
1- Snack
2- Bonney
3- adult Momo ( if he doesn’t turn adult by any chance no need for him in the crew tbh)
I understand the unlikelihood of this to happen, but a man can only dream!
Why Snack? That's interesting
