General & Others Next Straw Hat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

[RobinsFeet]

Maybe Smoker is on Egghead and he gave Luffy food? I still dont understand why Oda wont tell us where tf he is. There has to be a reason why he is not with that blue haired weak ass bitch anymore. Maybe Smoker now knows the truth about the world government and will switch sides…

Its either Smoker ve Kuzan
Or Kizaru vs Kuzan

Losing to an admiral, and then to an ex vice admiral would be hilarious

Stupid question but on the poll is "Pot Goblin" the user or is that a nickname for Kizaru?

"As you may know, the Straw Hat Pirates are led by Monkey D. Luffy, a young man who dreams of becoming the Pirate King and finding the legendary treasure One Piece. He has set a goal of recruiting around 10 crewmates, and with the latest addition of Jinbe, the former captain of the Sun Pirates and the first fish-man to join the crew, he has found nine, leaving room for one more character to join.

You have mentioned Carrot and Yamato as the two main candidates for the 11th crewmate. Carrot is a rabbit-like mink, a race of humanoid animals that inhabit the Zou island. She is a member of the Inuarashi Musketeer Squad, a group of warriors that serve under one of the rulers of Zou, Inuarashi. She is also a friend of Pedro, a former pirate who sacrificed his life to help the Straw Hats during the Whole Cake Island arc. Carrot stowed away on the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats' ship, and joined them in their adventures in the Wano Country arc. She has shown great admiration and loyalty to Luffy and his crew, and has expressed her desire to see the world with them. She also has a special ability called Sulong, which allows her to transform into a more powerful form under the full moon.

Yamato is the daughter of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors of the sea and the main antagonist of the Wano Country arc. Despite being the heir of the Beast Pirates, Yamato has always admired Kozuki Oden, the former daimyo of Kuri and a member of the Roger Pirates, the crew of the previous Pirate King. Yamato has inherited Oden's will and wants to open the borders of Wano and free the country from Kaido's tyranny. She also wants to sail the seas with Luffy, whom she considers to be Oden's successor. She has declared herself to be the ninth member of the Straw Hat Pirates, even though Luffy has not officially accepted her yet. She has a powerful Devil Fruit ability that allows her to transform into a white dragon.

Both Carrot and Yamato have strong reasons to join the Straw Hat Pirates, and have demonstrated their compatibility and usefulness to the crew. However, it is ultimately up to Luffy to decide who will join his crew, and he has not given his answer yet. Therefore, the question of who will be the next Straw Hat Pirate remains unresolved for now. 🤔

However, there are some other characters who have been speculated by the fans to join the crew, or at least ally with them in the future. Here are some of them:

- **Trafalgar D. Water Law**: Law is the captain of the Heart Pirates and one of the members of the Worst Generation, a group of notorious rookie pirates. He formed an alliance with Luffy to take down Kaido, and has been working with him since the Punk Hazard arc. Law is a brilliant strategist and a powerful fighter, with a Devil Fruit ability that allows him to create a room where he can manipulate anything within it. He also has a mysterious connection to the Will of D, a secret that Luffy shares as well.
- **Marco the Phoenix**: Marco is the former first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the strongest crews in the world. He is a loyal follower of Whitebeard, the former strongest man in the world, and a friend of Ace, Luffy's adoptive brother. Marco has a rare Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit ability that allows him to transform into a phoenix, a mythical bird that can regenerate from any wound. He joined forces with the Straw Hats and their allies to fight against Kaido and his crew in the Wano Country arc.
- **Boa Hancock**: Hancock is the captain of the Kuja Pirates and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a group of powerful pirates who work for the World Government. She is also the Empress of Amazon Lily, an island inhabited by female warriors. She is considered to be the most beautiful woman in the world, and has a Devil Fruit ability that allows her to turn anyone who is attracted to her into stone. She fell in love with Luffy after he saved her from being enslaved by the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles. She has helped Luffy on several occasions, such as during the Impel Down arc and the Marineford arc. She is currently on the run from the Navy, as the Warlord system has been abolished.
- **Vivi Nefertari**: Vivi is the princess of Alabasta, a desert kingdom in the Grand Line. She met the Straw Hats during the Whiskey Peak arc, and traveled with them as a temporary member until the end of the Alabasta arc. She helped them stop the rebellion that was orchestrated by Crocodile, one of the former Warlords of the Sea. She decided to stay in her country to fulfill her duty as a princess, but she still considers the Straw Hats as her friends. She has a pet duck named Karoo, who is also very loyal to the crew.

These are some of the possible candidates for the 11th Straw Hat, or at least their allies. However, as I said before, the final decision is up to Luffy, and he may surprise us with his choice. 😊"

The past is about to repeat itself. In Enies Lobby, after the Buster Call was triggered, Cipher Pol 9 was defeated, and left to die by the WG. After escaping, Spandam blamed them for the failure and destruction of Enies Lobby, and Marines were sent after CP9. While eventually they rejoined the WG and joined CP0 during the Time Skip, for a period, CP9 was wanted by the WG/Marines.

Well, where are we now? Kaku is down. Lucci is going to be down soon since he's fighting Zoro. What happened to CP9 agents who failed or were defeated? They were either arrested, or killed. So, is it fair to assume that CP0 works the same way?

If Lucci and Kaku fail here, guess what Saturn is going to do?

That's right; leave them to get Buster Called like the "insects" they are.

I COMPLETELY FORGOT the government just arrested or killed CP9 who failed. Even if Saturn doesn't order their arrest/murder, once he sees Stussy is a traitor, and Lucci and Kaku are down, he'll leave them to die.

Just like before, Lucci and Kaku will get Buster Called by the World Government, but, this time, they won't rejoin them.

Then, they get teleported to Wano Act 4 to finally witness the reveal of Pluton, since that's how CP9 was introduced, searching for Pluton.

I'm not sure if this will lead to Lucci becoming an ally, but it's a definite pathway. I could see Luffy telling Zoro to save Lucci and Kaku from the Buster Call, leaving Lucci in a Alabasta Smoker situation.

Smoker and Luffy were captured, nearly died together, then Luffy had Zoro save Smoker, making Smoker finally accept that Luffy wasn't his real enemy. Lucci won't become an ally this arc, IMO, but something will stop him from being an enemy and open up that pathway.

I like that chain of events. In return, I want to share my headcanon (I derived it from the results of my analysis. But they are still theories - So I probably should not have written them down here. But ... oh, well):

Spoiler: Just random stuff

Shaka is revealed to not be dead. The SHP's and Vegapunk are on their way fleeing the island. Until Kizaru rushes to either kill Vegapunk or tries to prevent everyone from fleeing. This is the moment a vampirised Lucci (He was bitten by Stussy) forces himself between Vegapunk/the SHP and the admiral and prevents the latter from reaching his goal. With that help, the group makes their escape.
Almost able to leave, the SHPs/Vegapunk look back at Egghead from afar and see a defeated Lucci being apprehended by the WG. He is to be executed immediately and Luffy sees that. Shaka looks also back and sees his brother Lucci there about to be killed. Shocked, he takes off his helmet and we see him just looking like Lucci underneath. Kaku protests that they have to help Lucci, because he was and is like a brother to him. He cannot do anything, since he is injured, but pleads for someone to help his big brother. Luffy understands their fellings very well and gives the command to head back and free the former CP0 agent.
Lucci is not happy that everyone turns around and tries to save him. He yells at them to flee, since he has found peace in the fact that he will die here. And for the greater goal of saving his two brothers and father, Shaka, Kaku and Vegapunk, he is ready to make this ultimate sacrafice. We get to know that he is used of being perceived as evil, and that everyone sees him as a devil/weapon. He himself just wishes for peace, since in his childhood he followed his clone-fathers dream (Vegapunk is his father) of acquiring peace everywhere - this is why he was cloned, to be a soldier for peace.
Stussy gets up and tries to backstab the group. Heaving, she tells them that she is angry at Lucci, because he knew she was on the WG's side all along and therefore has attacked Vegapunk. Lucci, knew, she needed to save the Stellar, because if the Stellar had died, Punk Records would have died with him. This is why she pushed herself between Lucci and Vegapunk. Lucci banked on her interference and this way, got her out of the way. Stussy tries to make it harder for the SHP's and Vegapunks to head on, before someone stops her.
The group approaches Egghead again and enter a battle with the marines. Here, we see the 9 VA figthing the SHPs and Luffy, Shaka and Vegapunk try to reach Lucci. Luffy is reminded of Marineford and envisions that Lucci's scar on his back turns into the symbol of Whitebeard and that Lucci's tattoos turn into the letters "A S C E". And suddenly Ace is sitting there instead of Lucci, waiting for his execution and his brother to save him.

It motivates Luffy, since he wants to prove himself that he can save the persons, who are dear to him. He engages Kizaru again and fights him. Ultimately, Lucci is being freed. Kizaru attacks Shaka and Lucci throws himself before his brother to save him. Luffy sees that and is reminded of Ace doing the same for him back in Marineford.
With foresight, Luffy is able to avert/block the attack that was aimed at Lucci. And while Lucci and Shaka are able to escape, Luffy starts fighting Kizaru in earnest, telling him that nothing is more important that his friends and family.

Insert one or two flashbacks of Lucci's past and the small time skip somewhere in that plotline and you have my headcanon for now.
- First flashback is about Lucci, Shaka and Vegapunk, who are having problems with pirates. This is why all three of them do not think so highly of pirates.
- Second flashback: During the time skip we see how Chopper discovered that Shaka was Lucci's brother, as he takes off that helmet, while he tends to Shakas head-wound. We also see, how Lucci and Luffy get along and how well Lucci maneuvers the whole crew through all that had happened a day prior. We see that Lucci is a great strategist/chief of staff and thinks of a plan to flee from the island.

At the end, we either are informed that Luffy had asked Lucci to become a SHP or that Luffy asks him after the battle has ended to join him. Lucci accepts. End.

I'm going to back Yamato again. She wants to join, has a dream and an open invite, and she knows Luffy's secret dream. Maybe she'll show up later on and be a Jinbei situation. It's the only way all the blatant teasing makes any sense, especially if the other option is no one joining after all that buildup.

I'm fully aware that it's cope, but coping is more fun than telling everyone that no one will join.

@Ravagerblade help convince me

Pretty much yeah that, And iirc something gotta happen with that Under Wano and Pluton stuff... So either way it's gotta have a continuation, Quite possibly BBP some how take it, leading to Yamato pursuing which then lands her close to where the SH's are... (a what if) /shrug

Imo the pluton stuff is Yamato's dream if she joins, to open Wano's borders. So that would be endgame, possibly in the final war.

I'm iffy on that one tbh. But it's ultimately up to Oda. Yamato does need a serious enough Dream to be competitive enough if you know what I mean, even if Choppers, Usopps and Brooks aren't the most worldly (at least imo).

that's the consensus that I've been seeing, even from people who were initially against her joining

I think that's the best part of post-arc clarity, now that the character isn't in the arc and people cant wank or shit on every panel they're in its easier to have consistent conversations about the character's chances

hated that everyone just either wanted to be right or wanted to win an argument, I've even come around to believing Carrot has a chance of coming back and joining given how things were left off with her
