General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

[Malakhith]

@Malakhith That's a very wholesome analysis of Tama, well done

Thanks man! :cheers:

If Carrot stowaway, she is bound to shine sooner or later.

There are multiple possibilities but right now, I think she could justify this move by not wanting the responsibilities. Carrot will most likely not be an official member until much later.

Yes, I also believe she's meant to find moments to stand out while on the crew. However, if she's on the ship, it can't just be as an unofficial tagalong anymore. When Nami joined, despite all the developments that only happened later, she was still considered part of the crew. Same with Usopp, same with Robin. And if Carrot is on the ship with the intention of staying on it and Luffy accepts that, that in itself earns her the right to be called a crewmate.

King is on the Sunny and is already a Straw Hat

DON'T TELL ME HE'S IN THE BARREL

 

[King4nakama]

He is in the barrel

 

[Carrota Guco]

Carrot vs Wet Hair Rapistibou. This may be the deciding battle for naka

 

[ChimneyNakama]

I'm not in danger, Wanda. I AM the danger! A Strawhat opens a barrel and gets clawed, you think that of me? I AM the one who claws!

Come on, Kyarotto! last push! PUUUUSH!

 

[TEACH D TEACH]

He is in the barrel

Green Bull really did a number on him

I feel like this completely unnecessary flashback about Yamato in 1059 was just to wrap up her not joining thing once and for all. Like a way to clear the path once and for all and start a new chapter in the "joining race" right from 1060. Either Carrot or someone new, but definetely Carrot.

If it's to wrap it up, then why is Yamato still bringing up wanting to be part of the crew?

 

[Jesse Pinkman]

Looks like oda backtracked. The fan rage was too much.

Yamato definitely is joining now.

So that people keep buying her towels, while in hope she'll join

Yamato is not joining

 

[Jesse Pinkman]

Yamato is not joining

The last chapter clearly shows she wanted to protect wano.

She will likely join after wano borders are lifted.

or join after helping momo master his fruit, the fkashback was clearly as setup for the possibility of yamato joining in the future, Luffy wants her in the crew and was actually against Yamato's idea if not for the convincing done by yamato

If we go back to Wano, Tama joins too

If Yamato joins then Momo, Kin'emon, and Tama will join as well which is far too many crewmates and would be an unprecedented move by Oda.

Besides, Luffy has a stronger connection to Momo and Kin'emon knowing them since Punk Hazard while also stating to want a ninja since Zou (maybe as far back as Alabasta) which helps Tama's (and Raizo's) case. Yamato does not have any real narrative edge to be recruited over the others nor any noticeable foreshadowing before Wano that I can recall.

They will likely all join Luffy as allies during the Final War after Wano's borders are opened to use Pluton to team up with Poseidon (Shirahoshi) and probably Uranus. Unless Caribou tells the unknown person those details that changes those options.

King 4 Nakama!!!!!!!!!

She isn’t joining. She wants to protect wano.

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

She isn’t joining. She wants to protect wano.

The cope will never end
