General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

[Electricmastro]

The issue is not her holding herself back though. Strawhats are a crew that learn and move forward as the story continues. She may hold herself or not, issue is her knowing already everything, meaning that she, in a metaphorical way, never becomes “part of the adventure”. If diary lacks specific details though, I see no problem with her joining.

I see your point. Yeah, it really does go back to how detailed the log was. Since it was a made a point to show to readers that Yamato has it, I’m sure another point will develop from that later on, and not necessarily as keeping Yamato from traveling with Luffy I’m sure.

I hope no one expects Yamato to join the crew for the sake of Log keeper positions

She might actually. After all, number of crewmates are determined according to Luffy’s desires. Besides, main roles are filled (Combatant/VC, Cook, Navigator, Doctor, Carpenter, Helmsman) and other characters join if Luffy wants them to join and if they want to join. Whether their roles are sidelined/useless or not, it all comes down to Luffy’s decision at this point. Carrot may join as a Lookout and Yamato may join as a Log Keeper. It comes down to not their respective roles, but to with whom Luffy wants to go on to an adventure.

Yamato will allegedly join assuming she has no place in Wano anymore

Differently she might become the new Shogun, however she needs the population's favor first

I'm a Carrot hater and I don't like Yamato either so I will let you do your own thing but for me, Jinbe was the last addition to the crew.

Unless Ulti and Page One joins

She needs to get rid of Oden facade first though. Her story will definitely revolve around her finding her own identity and accepting herself.

Oh, yeah. This would actually make me give her one more chance but I don't think Oda will abandon this shit.

Well, it doesn’t matter whether we like them or not lol. It comes down to whether Luffy likes them or not.
After all, the crew doesn’t need a 5-star hotel restaurant chef either (the role could easily be filled by Nami) but Luffy likes Sanji and his food, so he is in the crew. Primary factor is Luffy liking a person

So Luffy won't take her 100%.

He already told her something like there was only one Oden and etc with this annoyed ( I think it was this ) look on his face.

Luffy doesn't like ambitionless clowns and Yamato does not have her own ambition atm.

Oda will definitely continue with the gag but she will grow her own character as the story continues lol. The only difference is that, her development will be shown if she actually joins.

Also, a lot depends on how much people dig Yamato. If she joins the crew she will definitely dress like Straw Hats and I wonder if she could actually sell figurines on the level of Nami.

Does Oda care about that though? Usopp has a huge fanbase and considerable amount of haters at the same time (I personally like him a lot) yet he is kept in the story.

Nami is nothing more than a figurine seller. Robin too but she sells fewer figurines than Nami.

Nami and Robin are not relevant to the story anymore so Oda makes sure to dress them sexy or something so figurine creators can make money.

How are they unimportant for the story? Importance in the story is not equal to fights and strength. Robin is always important as she is one of the keys to Laugh Tale and Nami is the navigator of the crew. They can travel across the GL/NW safely thanks to her existence. She was the primary reason SHs decided to save children at PH and minks at Zou in the first place. Her story is connected to Jinbei’s through Arlong.

If Luffy wanted a crew based on strength/conquering the seas, he would have recruited only strong people like Zoro. This is the fundamental difference between Luffy and BB

Oda made them irrelevant what you not understand?

They will not shine again because Oda uses them to milk money from figurines.

The only shine they will have is Robin reading poneglyph and Nami finishing the map. Besides that, he will dress them in sexy outfits to sell toys and figurines.

Well... I disagree on importance part but I respect your opinion. Besides, there seems to be few more arcs after Wano. Let’s see what Oda has designed for the crewmembers and new recruits (if they exist). Until then, all we can do is talk and express opinions lol

After all, Oda turned one of the most “seemingly unimportant” SNs, Bege, to a really important character and a potential ally for the final arc just through one of the arcs. It all comes down to his decisions.

@Seth there's a difference between "prominence" and "relevance."

No matter what I think yamato will go for an adventure, she can go either as a SH or alone. She has been living inside pretty much caged whole life, her only hope and happiness being odens journal. The journal may contain some important spoilers but I kinda doubt yamato knows about it even if it was written. Her reaction to the journal was same as oden i.e. She is excited about what outside world is like . She doesn't feel like someone who has all the info. I would expect someone who knows everything to kinda act differently than being cheerful and excited.

 

[MugiwaraMaster]

Yamato is not another Pudding.

Her tears when those cuffs came off were genuine and if she’s willing to beat her fellow crewmates like Ulti, clearly she hate anyone who sees Kaido as a good man.

 

[Kafkananta]

I feel like the girls on the crew is doing supportive work in guiding the crew.

Nami - navigate the ship using map and log pose
Robin - dechipering red poneglyph to know where raftel is

Following that, what if the 11th crew (a girl) is also the key on reaching raftel?

If that's the case, Pudding with ther third eyes is a great addition (not really possible) to the crew with Monet (don't mind Monet : ^)
