While I understand your point, I think a bigger theme of One Piece than friendship has been letting the people you love go if it means they can follow their dreams. This was hammered in with Ussop when Kaya lied about not wanting him to leave, Sanji when the cooks pretended to hate his food so he'd give up his sense of responsibility to them, Franky when the Franky family stole his speedo to force him to go to the Sunny, and Jinbei when his crew gave their blessing (though this is the one case where he actively asked for it). Arguably Chopper to an extent as well. Law can't possibly reach laugh tale with his crew. I don't think he will simply decide to abandon them, but them actively letting him go would be very in line with the series.
The key difference is that unlike them, the Heart pirates aren't a direct hindrance in the path to his dream like staying at Baratie was for Sanji, Syrup Village for Usopp, Water 7 for Franky, etc. Law and Kid are completely fine carrying their crews and in fact, last chapter showed their worth a bit with them protecting their nearly dead captain. They made it all the way to Wano with their crews after all so its not a stretch for them to reach Laugh Tale with the top heavy format.

True but I just think it’s Law being a tsundere. If you notice Law complains about stuff but ends up doing it anyways
Luffy, Kidd and Law all reacted the same. All 3 got angry at being giving orders and at the idea that they are someone else's underling. Don't see why Law alone should be singled out as a tsundere.
 
You can't have characters join the SHs when they don't contribute anything for the crew, I just don't understand this fanboyish stuff.

Every SH has a fulfilling role:

Luffy – Captain
Zoro – Right hand man, swordsman (samurai)
Sanji – Chef
Nami – Navigator
Usopp – Sniper
Chopper – Doctor
Robin – Historian
Franky – Shipwright
Brook – Musician
Jinbei – Helmsman
Every other character mentioned like Carrot, Law, Tama, Hiyori, Kin’emon, Pudding, Momonosuke, Smoker falls out from the competition because they don’t fulfil any specific role to join the SH’s, especially Law and Carrot.

Although I’m not into Yamato’s character yet, and I don’t what role she fulfils (I haven’t caught up with the manga), but it’s obvious that she’s the next SH to join. The problem with Yamato’s character first and foremost is her name, and trying to be someone who she isn’t, in this case a man. So, I guess her role would be a front fighter or some sort.

Other far better candidates to join the SH’s who do fulfil specific roles are:

Monet – Astronomer

Caesar Clown – Scientist

Another least possible candidate to join the SHs would be Boa Hancock as a front fighter like Yamato and the reason would be her “love sickness” for Luffy. Even though I like her to join, the possibilities are very low and the only way I see her is accompanying Luffy is through his journeys as an ally who will anytime come to help him with the Kuja Pirates.

Law complaining about Zoro ordering him, and doing it



Law complaining about Kid getting the last shot, and still letting him do it





I think it's just a character trait he has. If he joins he will likely retain his own stubbornness. This character trait could be used to prop up Luffy, similar to how Xebec was able to tame "monsters who didn't take orders" under him like WB pointed out

Monet and Caesar have always been the worst candidates cause they gleefully kidnapped, drugged and murdered children.

Luffy and Kidd did the same thing so again, why does Law get singled out as a tsundere? All 3 are very similar and portrayed the best candidates in the new generation, so why specifically does one of them need to be working for the other?

im crazy for thinkinh Law could join but you literally suggest a guy who kidnaps children and experiments on them :crazwhat:

When has Luffy ever done it? Luffy has only once acted like that and it was at Saobody, since then he has been shown to be the leader even amongst Kid and Law.

why I think Law and Kid are different? Simple, Oda thinks the relationship between the 3 is different

Worst because they murdered children, but their roles are specific and contribute a lot more than any other mentioned character. Caesar can bring a lot to the SHs with his knowledge of science. Monet can help them with astronomy concerning the Celestial Dragons and the people on the Moon and other stuff.

It's an anime, not the real world. Both of you don't look at this logically don't you. Also Oda can pull off a redeemable arc for both of them considering the plot holes in the story he's made.

Law's role is a doctor, Chopper already full fills that role. It would be bullshit for Law to join the crew and leave his own, that would be a massive bullshit in the story. Law and his crew are already unique.

So if you think that someone many SHs hates, kidnapped and murdered children when one of the main characters love children, kills his own subordinates and was described as the type of person the main character hates the most, was never a candidate, you simply don't think logically?

That's like saying someone is a coward for not wanting to drink sulfuric acid.

ok lets see the logic, what do the straw hats think of Law?

and what do the straw hats think of Caesar?


Now why would it logically make sense for a scumbag who's disliked even by Luffy join over the guy they like? Also if 2 doctors is a lot why did Oda give Chopper and Law different roles in Wano? I'm fine accepting Law joining is unpopular as hell, I'm fine even conceding that it may not happen. But one thing I do truly understand is that the Straw Hats are good people, even the most villainous ones in Robin and Franky were hinted at being kind people who care for others.

Monet may have helped Caesar to do experiments, but it was because of her fear of Doffy, that Doffy might kill her if she failed to accompany Caesar. The kids also thought that Monet was nice to them; although they didn’t know that Monet was nice because they were being experimented on, and at least Monet didn’t treat the kids like how Caesar treat everybody else.

Caesar never regretted what has he done in Punk Hazard, and he was a coward; he decided to help in WCI because he didn’t have any choice. Monet appeared to be afraid to be killed by Doffy if she failed, buy she pretty much willing to die and had the courage to do it. And we’re not talking about their possibility to join, it’s just how different Monet & Caesar were. Another suspicious thing was when Monet knew Chopper sneaked and let him go. Was it confirmed that Law was the one who gave Chopper that note?

I didn't even mentioned nor brought up their background. I was only talking about their capabilities and what they can do and their meaningful role. They can't join? Fine with me. I'm not a fan of either Caesar or Monet.

Wano has nothing to do with Law joining the crew. It would be butchering the Heart Pirates. Law isn't an "unpopular" character, but he's not gonna join the crew because of his role in the story. Kaido should've disbanded the Beast Pirates and joined Roger to find out about JoyBoy.

Ok? Law is the important guy of that crew, not his crew. This is as silly as saying the Franky crew would be butchered by letting Franky leave, or the sun pirates.

Law isn't an "unpopular" character, but he's not gonna join the crew because of his role in the story. Kaido should've disbanded the Beast Pirates and joined Roger to find out about JoyBoy.
His role in the story is to find out the truth of the Will of D and I highly doubt he doesn't get to complete it on screen. It's literally one of the strongest points in my reasoning. He's not Kaido nor he will ever be, neither is Kid btw.
 
Anyway regarding Yamato’s role, I think there are 2 possibilities: log keeper, or tank. Although it’s been stated that Nami is the one who’s been log keeping their voyage, it’s possible that Yamato has her own log besides of Sunny’s log. It’s like she has her own journal, like Oden has.

And if Yamato is the “tank”, she is more of a defensive instead of offensive like Zoro who is a combatant. Luffy Zoro Sanji Jinbe will most likely deal with the biggest threats, so Yamato fits if she’s there to protect the weaker ones. Luffy Zoro Sanji Jinbe are not always there to protect weaker ones most of time, therefore Yamato will be there to protect the ones who needs protection

I think most assume it was Law but it was never confirmed

Monet wasn't afraid of Mingo. Mingo himself said all his subordinates are willing to die for him, and even Vergo smiled when he thought his death would benefit him. Monet was ready to commit suicide for Mingo before he even said anything.

As for being killed for failure, Trebol and Diamante was scared about the punishment Mingo would dish out on them for failing their tasks. It's the same for entire DD family.

But you said Oda can make a redemption arc for Caesar and Monet. That directly involves their background.
