That sounds like Usopp is schizophrenic. :gokulaugh:

Well, if you really think about it - mybe he is ... . :bamathink:

Hana = 8 and 7, which leaves 2 and 9. Currently, Luffy has an alliance with Lucci, whose DF is the neko, neko no mi. Ne-ko: Ne = 2 (pronounced), Ko = 9.
Ni = 2 also. And niko is actually Robin’s last name. There’s just not a lot of good verbs coming from 29.
 
Honestly, this is the main thing that makes me doubt another new member. It's so late now, and the strawhats are always seperated these days. A newcomer might not feel like part of the group before the end. It's why characters like Law seem more likely to me, since they already bonded with the group. Vivi fits this too, but I doubt her for other reasons.
Oda literally got to have a deer feel like part of the group in 25 chapters and a swan man as part of the group even though he’s gone. So if people still want to say it’s impossible for Luffy to get a 10th person, I’ll leave that to them.

I don't think it's impossible, but the strawhats just don't interact as much as they used to. In Drum kingdom, 25 chapters was more more than enough. Today, 25 chapters might not show 2 strawhats interact with each other the entire time. I'm just saying it's more difficult. When I say doubt, I mean to say that this is the argument I see against it. I still give a tenth member at least a 40% chance
 
Why people want Vivi so badly to join? What she can deliver? What she can do to make her a nearly good SH? She has that SH Vibe? What is her role in the Crew?


Oda said in a interview that nobody weaker than Usopp will join, Vivi is stronger than Usopp?
I think most expect her to gain some kind of ability. Right now she's extremely weak compared to NW Fodder like gifters
 
what would tama even do she has like one ability (unless im forgetting something but whatever) and its a gimmick
like i think shed be a great addition in regards to personality and uniqueness but...

and weak sauce no skills no special role potential nami-clone vivi would fit better with the revolutionaries narratively and in terms of what she can offer

carrot has very little personality, has no fitting position she could occupy, and is basically just nami + brook in terms of combat
as much as i wanted yamato to join and still kinda do lol shes too strong
bonney might join but has a gimmicky ability so will prolly just be a temporary member
smoker is just...no
no hate to fans of any of these characters just my thoughts

hancocks ability is too busted and i dont see why or how shed join + too much of her and shed get even more annoying than she already kinda is

Just throwing my hat into the ring here but I can’t help but shake the idea that by the end of the story Vivi will replace Imu as a head of the world government in some shape or form - installed as an intermediary before the need for such a figure disappears. Given the Revolutionaries are based on several leaders and groups that ascribed to Communism, this is also a key tenet of Marxism.

I think that stops her joining the crew officially as her role lies elsewhere. That being said I can see Vivi and Wapol hiding in Elbaf like Saul. It’s clearly a very safe place to hide from the Government - there is no doubt we see her again and she may tag along from and during Elbaf to Laugh Tale (which I expect will be 4 arcs, 5 at a push).

the argument that she is weaker than Usopp is also a valid reason she may not join. I am not opposed to the idea but she would need to acquire a Devil fruit while on the run (and may be provided one for protection purposes if the Revolutionaries have some lying around). It’s perfectly possible that Vegapunk comes to Elbaf and even makes her a fruit or somewhat Seraphim-like so she can be useful if she does indeed join the Strawhats. I can see this happening too given in most instances the crewmates had nowhere for them to return to and the only way to complete their journey was to join the crew. I believe the only exception to this has been Jinbe

Yay, someone shares my head cannon, because these are my exact thoughts about Vivi. I don't mind her being with SHP, I just feel like from narrative point of view there are some other things she must do.
