The fact that Kuma has nothing except his daughter is what makes me 100% certain he'd not be a crewmate.

Like I'm not throwing away the idea that he regains his persona, but knowing Oda, there's no shot that if he restores Kuma, he's going to be all "seeya" to Bonney.
 
Are you sure you want to dismiss statistics? You can, but I for myself are grounding my analysis on Oda's Gorowase and say Lucci will join.
Those are not statistics, its just a number seeking mindset.

Let's see whose methodical approach is going to be the best in predicting the 11th SH. And please, don't come at me crying or denying that the Gorowase was not a method after which you can predict a SH and that it was all pure coincidence after Oda makes pigeon guy join. The Gorowase is the main reason I chose him in the first place.

Nope, because nobody know what the fuck it means.
In short. A shining nakama action is a extraordinary action related to the post/role on the ship. It can be surprising or subtil but it must be impressive.

I've narrowed down different parameters constructing each shining nakama action for the strawhat:

- The role implies some specifications: (Knowledge of the climat)

- The Character is introduced with a certain capacity for the role in the crew: (A special power or feeling sensing the weather pattern for example)

- The character must face a challenging situation (There is a storm coming)

- The character must overcome a challenging situation with an amazing action by using their specific crewman skills: (the character must predict a storm while being sick)

- This action must get the character out of trouble or make them understand something (The storm was avoided and it was a tornado!)

- An important character present during the action must make an exclamation remark regarding the action (this is a manga trope); ("wow, they predicted such an unpredictible storm while being sick, amazing")


What is important to understand is that the Shining Nakama action take the role of what I call a "manga action" in One Piece.

A manga action (I don't know if it is called differently or not) is a specific and impressive action that makes the character stands out from the rest. For example, here is a manga action in Uchuu Kyoudai that I really appreciate.

Mutta, who wants to become astronaut and therefore a good engineer passes an interview. Too bad for him, the interviewer after discussing the candidates reaches to the conclusion that 3 characters where really distracted during the interview, they decide to shut them down until one of the mentor in the band intervene and say this.

"I actually played a joke on the candidate, I lossened one of the screw that was on the chair's candidate"
"In the group X, three people called my attention"

"The first person noticed the screw instantly but it seemed like he wasn't bothered"
"The second person unitentionally laughed when she noticed and was starteled by herself laughing"
and the third:



THis is what a manga action looks like. It ciment the character into a specific position because of their specific gift or skills. Here, this is the proof of Mutta skill for problem resolution and in engineering skills that he will depict later in the serie.

For the strawhats, this can be seen through their action into their post. And each strawhat have one shining nakama action.

But objectively speaking its as much tea leaf reading as Logikos arguments.
The difference is that my argument stands on storytelling facts.

Also would be weird if Bonney is Ginny. Not cause I'm against the clone idea, but because she doesn't look like Ginny, which is uncommon for a oda kid design

Bonney and kid bonney that oda drew have straight hair. Ginny has a very unique hair style complete with ahoge and Ginny has freckles.
I don't know why people are trying to make a theory here, Ginny is simply Bonney's mother. There is no need for a complicated theory here.

I literally just told you it works to predict luffys bounty and you ignored it lol
No it doesn't, the only reason why Luffy's bounty SEEMS predictibla is because Oda is using a simple pun.

It seems like you would be open to a bet, if I were to propose one to you? Lucci will join, not Caribou. And if not, I will wear whatever you deem fit as my avi for one month. If Caribou does not join, you will wear, whatever I deem fit. Are you in?
Soyface selfie is all I can offer, unfortunately. But I will change my PFP to that for a month if he doesn't join. And I will change my sig to anything you want, so long as it isn't ban worthy.
