Buggy for Nakama. Buggy wanted to fulfill Roger's Will and was mad Shanks didn't go after the One Piece. Once Buggy realizes Luffy is carrying on Roger's Will, Buggy will join the Straw Hats.

You know what I think?

I think Buggy is like the anime version of Domino from Deadpool.

When we first were intrroduced to him, he was that simple minded captain-clown with no proficiency and potential.

And now look at the guy - he is still a simple-minded captain-clown with no proficiency or potential - but now he is an emperor!

All because he has nothing more but luck!

If luck was an ability, than Buggy is a master in it.

Let Buggy fight against Imu - he would surely win in a very unconventional way. No Luffy needed.
 
Positions/Roles of current Strawhats:
Captain, Will of D. Carrier
Combatant, First Mate
Navigator, Quartermaster, Witch
Sniper, Gardener, Inventor
Cook, Royalty, Female Bodyguard
Doctor, Pet, Animal Translator, Scientist
Archeologist, Spy
Shipwright, Engineer, Cooper
Musician, Ghost Corpse
Helmsman, Lifeguard, Firefighter

Listing out the Strawhats ship roles and subroles gives a better picture on what may be missing from the crew. There are conventional as well as unconventional roles that can be demonstrated or have story relevance.

Ship Guard
Lookout
Apprentice
Cabin Boy/Girl
Ship's Cat
Chronicler
Powder Monkey
Nightwatch
Master-at-Arms
Boatswain
Sail maker
Scout
Striker
Strategist
Rigger
World Government Agent
Marine
etc...

Some positions or roles could be attached to a current member or even multiple. So if a new crewmate were to join than new crewmate would have to demonstrate they are better than every other crewmate at said role or position.

If someone else joins, which I do believe, then this future crewmate should be as useful as Jinbe, IMO. Jinbe, as a veteran, covers major needs for the crew. The candidate that covers the most potential important postitions and roles is the best candidate, IMO.

Below are some candidates and some roles they fill. List is not final. Add or subtract what logically seems suitable.

Vivi: Royalty
Kuma: Ship Guard, Revolutionary
Bonney: Cabin Girl
Vegapunk: Scientist, WG Agent
Stussy: WG Agent, Spy
Lucci: WG Agent, Spy, Shipwright, Ship's Cat
Kizaru: Marine, Scout
Smoker: Marine, Lookout, Master-at-Arms
Yamato: Ship Guard, Apprentice
Carrot: Lookout, Apprentice
Tama: Ninja, Cabin Girl, Monster Collector

We also can add Chief-of-staff to the list as possible position.
 
Do you really think Vivi stayed in alabasta to protect it? She's weak as fuck. Had to be rescued by Pell from a couple of fodder.
Well yes? then why not they send pell or chaka join BW? They let one from only 2 royalties in the kingdom join without questioning, surely one of their strongest guard can do better job then her no?
She stayed because she's the future Queen, and she has to lead her people. That responsibility doesn't end when the world government is gone, every country still needs a leader in peace times.
back then yes, but in the future? Maybe it doesnt need to be her this time?
And what's your source on Vivi staying in Alabasta being a sacrifice? Given how much she loves her country and people, you're gonna need to prove that she loves the strawhats and adventures MORE if you want to claim that.
Just in case if you forget, its vivi the one who asked what she need to do if she want to join, and spend night keep thinking about it, are someone who feel completely happy need to cry just because she think she never be accepted in the crew again? She would spend all her life in desert anyway and its not like alabasta doesnt have ship to bring her to the sea if she miss sailing,why she need to cry? Even yamato who totaly sacrifice her need to protect wano still say goodbye with a smile. you paint her like she an extreme nationalist, if she just really love alabasta the best thing to do in reverie is keep silent about shirahoshi and hide to minimize risk TB look at her direction and stop her father doing stupid shit.but here we are.

Are you really this dumb? She cried because she was saying goodbye, likely forever, to a group of close friends. That doesn't mean she regrets her choice. Yamato was not close with the strawhats, it's not even a comparison. And loving your people is being an extreme nationalist now? You're clearly just blinded by bias and I'm not interested in talking to you anymore.
 
I know that many people might not take the following statement of mine seriously, but I will write it nonetheless:

We have seen a character’s background, whom we first thought of to be on the evil side - Kuma. Now, that we have seen how Kuma came to be working for the WG, and have now come to see his real personality and we can empathize with him. Bonney summed it up in two sentences: “I don't care if everyone else calls you a tyrant ... 'cause I know there's no one kinder than my dad!! To me you are the coolest person in the whole wide world!!“

And now that we have seen Kizaru explicitly showing regrets in fulfilling his mission/command given to him by the WG, we know that some soldiers/agents of the WG are shoving their own feelings aside, if a job requires it.

If someone of the “evil side” was to deflect or change sides now, we as readers would now have those two things in mind and would consider the action of this characterr. And this is exactly what Oda is doing here – he is preparing us for the transition of someone, we still perceive as `evil´!

This person will be `pigeon guy´ – and Oda is going to do that with a boom! Remember his Festa-Letter for 2023: “What?! That person and that person are fighting against each other?!”

This fight needs to happen before chapter 1108, because this was the last chapter scheduled to be released in 2023 – the year, for which Oda announced the fight. And he also said that this battle is going to be a surprise for us. Kuma fighting against Saturn was not that surprising, since we could already deduct a little from the plotline that he would head to Egghead and somehow be involved in the fight. However, a battle between Kizaru or Saturn on the one side and Lucci/Lucifer on the other side would be a huge surprise.

And this will be the arc’s punctual next climax, Oda is slowly inching forward to.
