Aside from the various reasons each of the three main "candidates", Carrot, Yamato, Loki, individually have for not joining the crew, which have been thoroughly explored, here as elsewhere, the very concept of a new SH should disgust the fanbase given how poorly Oda has treated everyone already a crewmate since the timeskip. Aside from Nika, only Sanji got some spotlight during WCI; no other SH receives proper on-panel treatment. No one. Not Zoro. Not the two eyr-candies. The whole crew are cardboard cut-outs. The latest addition is a walking nothing in the shape of a sharkman. The current crew size is untenable. Wanting yet another SH is pure selfiness for want of shipping and/or I-told-you-so's in the fandom wars. I'd rather get introduced to an interesting side-character for half an arc and never see them again, than to have a novelty face join the crew only to be sidelined over and again.
Lmao OK. We're the selfish ones, fuck off.

I'd get you guys a mirror but you'd still miss the point.

If the best arguments for Loki not joining is his size and him losing to Shanks, I think we're in really good spot as the Loki4Nakama agenda. The context of Rocks story only enhances his chances of joining someone like Luffy.

The scapegoat about strength ring hollow with every passing chapter. The EoS enemies are filled with Immortals, Demons, Mythical Zoans and thats before even mentioning the Admirals.

The Blackbeard pirates have a well balanced enough crew to warrant someone of Loki Calibur joining Luffy and company. Red Hairs will redher and Cross Guild is one Doffy break out and Moria reimmergence away from being true contenders in this race for One Piece.

The Elbaph devil fruit being held back for a reason is very telling. Rocks also only wanting Harald to eat it is another hint, and I doubt it was to add strength, Harald is clearly shown to rival Xebec in strength. He wanted him on his crew.

So what's the reason I wonder? Maybe to fit on his ship?
It's Loki being too strong. Nobody stronger than Sanji is joining. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji has always been the top 3 SHs, and there's no reason to assume Oda will randomly toss it aside after enforcing the dynamic for more than a quarter century.

Sanji will have to surpass Loki and become a top tier for him to have a chance.

( also this is peak ^ )


Of course. BECAUSE SHE IS KOZUKI ODEN!!!!!
She's joining soon after her cover story ends and the circus is gonna recruit plenty more Clowns for the pessimistic naysayers who bully others for wanting her and others to join.

We waited 10 years IRL for Jinbei despite slander and denial but he joined eventually.
Its naive to assume others won't join, we've had only 1 new SH post TS and Zeus technically is a nakama too but they're quiet about that.

They just hate these characters and their fans and the rest is excuses, deflection.

Tbh people being too strong to join is a stupid excuse too, stupid powerscaling brainrot. Just insecurity from fans of certain characters too.
 
JB isn't even a character. He has 2 panels.
Those 2 panels are peak, and so far Joyboy is a Jesus copy paste.

Literally, there is one real deity, that has a transformation that looks like the Nika form, and that is Jesus:









Luke 9:28-29

28 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.

.

Revelation 1:14-16

14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.


.

White clothes, white hair, eyes like a flame of fire, sharp twoedged sword, his countenance shining like the sun shineth in his strength

By the way, Nika has a two-edged sword, like Jesus does, pretty specific detail when you add everything else too

I don't care about I told you sos because from day one I thought Yamato will join, it's someone else's issue if they don't want her to or don't like her, but Yamato is the second best character, I only like Joyboy more
Don't be so selfish dude. Wanting her to join is selfish duh. (Sarcasm ofc)
 
Yamato is the one character who did not join because she was too strong

I remember during the Wano fights people were talking about, yeah Yamato may just join later because she is too strong for the crew now
Yamato didn’t join because she had no dream which is the bare minimum for a Straw Hat

Just see Yamato.
She is like Jinbe in fishman island.
Jinbe didn´t join the strawhats until Sanji and Zoro got stronger.
Yamato(if she joins later, big IF),will only join once Sanji and Zoro gets stronger.

For Loki it is impossible.
Loki might be stronger than Kaido or at his lvl, Sanji in EoS is need to be on that lvl lol.
Same for Zoro.

Someone strong like this wont join.

I'm one of those who think people overrate Yamato's strength. Not only was she outdone by Zoro against Kaido, Gearless Luffy fought much better than her and was taken more seriously by Kaido. Zoro, Kidd and Law are more powerful than her.

Yamato's biggest issue was her dream, which would've been completed by simply sailing with thr SHs. She would've been the only SH with a finished dream, and sailing is just a secondary reward for SHs who all have bigger individual dreams.

That's a reach lol. I highly doubt Oda has even read the Gospels or Revelation... Most Japanese people aren't Christians

To the grand fleet at least sure. Or they can stay in Wano and protect it in her stead, its not rocket science.

Well they can do both, they dont need to leave Wano to join the fleet and the fleet is almost useless and irrelevant anyway. Yet I don't see you hypocrites constantly complaining about that too.

Nothing like Worstgen for a healthy dose of pessismism.

If Oda is truly gonna chicken out of her joining after all that work, that build up like he did during the end of Wano already, which was so forced, then he truly is the coward he said he was, I'm surprised he was even that honest about it. It's bad enough what he's done to Carrot and the trolling with the rabbit symbolism in Egghead and Elbaph and no cover story for her, not even any panels of her at at all too. Just one cover page and being in a colour spread at least if not more.

Well

According to Zoro, base Luffy's roc gun was stronger than what he did

Zoro also did not fight Kaido alone

And the Kaido Zoro fought was holding back a lot more than the Kaido Yamato fought, the story kept saying his haki was getting stronger


Zoro post King fight is YC1

Yamato is YC+

Zoro and Sanji became as strong as Yamato in Egghead


And Kid and Law are also far stronger than Zoro and Sanji, Zoro and Sanji can only stall an emperor, two Kids or two Laws defeat the world's strongest creature
