Going back to my poneglyph = strawhat theory
So Jinbe is already part of the crew and is from fishman island. FMI being the location of a road poneglyph and ancient weapon
He has connections with Sanji with him being a short of duo with him and fmi likely having ties to Sanji’s dream
Yamato might officially join post elbaf. Being from wano the location of an ancient weapon and road poneglyph. Wano coincidentally also has Zoro’s dream to become the wss and I can definitely see them making a duo as well. Yamato even knows his uncle
Now we got Loki another candidate to join the crew. Loki obviously being from elbaf an island potentially tied to nika and has potential to be a duo with Luffy being the Kuzan to his Blackbeard. While we don’t know if there was ever an ancient weapon or road poneglyph on the island it’s definitely possible that big mom and Imu stole them
All that being said Loki could be a red herring and not actually join due to being too important
Kinda like vivi, momonosuke, shirahoshi, and potentially carrot with their ties to the void century
Even made a thread on it in regards to carrot
If Loki and carrot are too important then who from those islands? Idk
They should have ties to Nami and Usopp tho. The mink being to Nami and giant Usopp
Outside of carrot and the dukes the most relevant mink to the strawhats would be Pedro Wanda and pekoms. Wanda while close with Nami isn’t so much with Luffy and the rest of the crew so that leaves Pedro and Pekoms. Both of which are definitely alive just like the fishmen pirates, vinsmoke, and pound
Zou could also tie into Nami’s dream of making a map of the whole world considering zunesha has walked the whole world. She was also given a national treasure and it’s an island in the sky
The only relevant giants to luffy besides Loki and the giant captains is colon and ripley. Maybe mosa if they’re from the heaven realm idk
We already know Usopp’s dream is very connected to elbaf
