The jaguar centaur ...didn't join the crew.........
You stated that Luffy's childhood or Punk Hazard might have clues to who joins. So I pointed out Luffy invited a jaguar centaur to join the crew.

Luffy invited Zeff, a cook, and then Sanji joins.

Luffy invited Crocus and Kureha, both doctors, and then Chopper joins.

Luffy invited Iceburg, a shipwright, and then Franky joins.

It's not an exact science as other invitations do not have a definitive or obvious connection to other Strawhats like the role invitation examples above.

Gaimon is the Guardian of the Island of Rare Animals.

The Zombie Tree and Zombie Unicorn are undead just like Brook.

Yamato invited herself but rescinded to stay as a Guardian of Wano.

There are other invites but not sure of the possible connections. But these invitations show a possible next crewmate being a rare animal that is a shipguard.

Soooo...the Hyoutauros invitation is taking another angle with showing attributes Luffy likes and may/will like. Luffy likes centaurs which Franky already covered on the train to Enies Lobby. So if not the centaur angle, then there could be another attribute of the jaguar centaur that may foreshadow the next crewmate.

The jaguar centaur was invited after Jinbe was invited putting them in the same situation, but Jinbe ended up actually joining, which was confirmed when he was included in color spreads going forward.

Luffy just recently invited Loki and a similar situation can happen.

He included Caesar with his crew until they parted ways , and now he included Lilith after inviting Vegapunk.

Hyoutauros and Jinbe are not the same situation. Luffy and Jinbe bonded over many arcs and became blood brothers. Jinbe accepted his invitation but delayed the actual joining. Luffy and Hyoutauros bonded over being "centaurs". Hyoutauros invitation was not serious from how the other crewmates reacted and I think Hyoutauros refused anyways.

Loki being invited is a step but not a realistic chance until it is proven that Loki can shrink for long periods of time on the Sunny. Can a Nidhogg shrink? Bringing the library owl is possible but why wouod it leave Elbaph? And as of now Loki refused. Not sure what role or attribute(s) could fit with the "real" next crewmate. Horns perhaps as Yamato has those as well though Chopper may fill that spot with his antlers.

Caesar was a prisoner not crewmate. Same as Caribou. He was not invited. Lillith is not unique since other Vegapunks exist. Lillith and Bonney seem more temporary like many others before them. Being included does not make them a crewmate and not sure what clue(s) you are implying.
 
Hyoutauros and Jinbe are not the same situation.
So, people join the crew when, the chapter name declares it, being drawn in color spreads with the current members, or either of those moments 100% confirms it?
Jinbe accepted his invitation but delayed the actual joining.
The moment Jinbe returned on Wano and accepted his invitation he was drawn in color spreads with the other members, and you users are still saying 'no' to that?

I was not saying that, and bro Jinbe was revealed during the east blue days some users may have missed, while there is Saboady Arc, and Amazon Lily, as other arcs that could have clues.

For example, no debut of Jinbe, but Boa Hancock and the woman of the island, Kuma.

As soon as oda started grouping arcs starting from Zou with the Yonko saga, is when the clues disappear.
 

CoC: Color of Clowns

Get French With It, Cut the Cheese
Bonney, Lilith, and Chopper work together to use Bonney's Distorted Future to make size and aging drugs.

The aging drugs help Luffy recover from his gear four and gear five cool downs.

The size drugs let Loki shrink and sail on the Sunny.

Yes or when they actually accept the invitation and leave with crew on the Merry/Sunny.

What are you talking about you users? Jinbe would have joined on Fishmen Island but needed to take care of Big Mom business. Once he did, Jinbe officially joined during Tottoland Saga. He declared it! He only stayed behind to make sure his Captain and crew escaped successfully. Jinbe's reintroduction in Wano was mainly for the other crewmates who did not know what transpired on Tottoland.

I don't know what you are saying or what clues you are referring to then. I'm trying to focus on invitations and clues that connect to it per what you stated.

I know a lot of users on One piece websites were talking about Jinbe being drawn in color spreads after he officially joined, but denying that it has anything to do with him or any character officially joining the straw hat pirates.

Why would somebody join the straw hats on Fishmen island deep underwater?

Jinbe had a whole cover story adventure before meeting Big Mom to settle things involving a poneglyph, has not much to do with Big mom.

We're talking about Hyoutauros' invitation, I think it's funny how it was competing with Jinbe's invitation, because Jinbe accepted it not Hyoutauros.

Punk hazard arc has clues for characters like Smoker and Tashigi.
 
Loki is the first legit new crewmember character since Jinbe.

Luffy genuinely asked him not like a gag way or even in the are you coming with us way after we bonded on this journey like Yamato,Kin, Momo and yes even Vivi to a certain extent.

He's genuinely intrigued by Loki's character, skillset and more important his well being. Remembered his name day one.



Every straw hat has been liberated by Luffy in some way before joining whether it be a physical confinement or metaphorical like regrets, life debts, etc. This is why Yamato and Vivi still seem like they're going to arrive any moment because they fit that criteria, but fall short majorly elsewhere.


I mean you can never say never with Oda. But the first time we heard about Loki was Whole Cake and seeing where we are now, Oda was teasing the next crew member bro.
