General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

[thedarkdragon11]

I mean, I can’t think of a single member who wasn’t introduced with their skill.

Nami, Robin...

 

[Uncle Van]

Nami, Robin...

Luffy found out Nami was a navigator like 1 chapter after she was introduced.

Yes, though we never saw it in action immediately... Plus that's the time when things were going in fast phase...

Don't see how showing their actual skills plays a factor. We found out what Nami was about almost immediately after introduction so she ain't a good example.

Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook and Jinbe are better examples as you implied.

Nami, Robin...

we saw namis skills with navigation immediately. we see her use the weather to rob buggys pirates. And we see robins poneglyph reading ability before she was a potential straw hat

 

[Staticshadic]

From Luffy Perseptive he did not know what Ussop and Chopper role would be until they official join. Ussop showcase some of his snipping skills while shooting a cannon ball against a rock. While nami had to inform Luffy about Chopper skill set.
We would not see Jimbei role until whole cake island and Robin role would not establish until she official join the crew.

Luffy perspective and the audience perspective is different. We saw Usopps sniping skill and Choppers medicinal skills even if Luffy didn’t.

 

[Electricmastro]

if she joins she’ll basically be a cabin boy. At best a bosun, but she doesn’t know enough about the ship to be a real bosun

You mean like a ship officer bosun? I think that would depend of Luffy had officers on the crew to begin with. He's like the only major player not to have anything like that. lol

More along the lines of someone in charge of the inventory of the ship

Hmm, I guess she could do that, but I don't think a lot of examples have really been shown so far to really support that if you ask me. Maybe there will be more on that later though.

I know completely different what I am saying oda could make role for Yamato if she were join the crew. Cabin girl would not work since skill fighter as it already.

Log keeper
Ship defender
combatant

There’s nothing Yamato has shown that the ship needs so it’s really just guessing. Only reason I’m saying this is because she’s going to go do something with Kaidos inventory of explosives.

Honestly the fact that log keeper is available is why I think Sabo will join

Well I'm sure Yamato could have helped with guard duty quite a bit after Sanji was getting his ass kicked by Doflamingo and only averted a crisis because Law happened to be there.

So Yamato’s entire character will be staying on the ship? That’s not Luffys style. Might as well just chain Yamato up again.

Not entire character, but characters have offered to stay behind to help with the ship multiple times already, like Sanji, Usopp, and Franky guarding the ship while others walked around Sabaody until Camie got kidnapped.

Yeah but you’re saying that will be her entire duty is staying on the ship rather than being free and exploring the islands which is literally the exact opposite of what she wants.

Jinbei is really the best example here. There was no indication he was an exceptional helmsman until the end of whole cake island, hundereds of chapters after he was introduced and long after Luffy asked him to join the crew. No reason Yamato's skill can't be established later.

He was hinted at him at least being a helmsman back in his introductory arc when he helmed the ship leaving impel down.

 

[Ravagerblade]

Jinbei wasn't a helmsman when he was introduced, sure he may have took the Marines ship to Marineford but for his official capacity to the strawhats took awhile, have some patience ppl.

Remember Hindsight is 20/20, can't always see it in the moment etc.

He helmed the ship leaving onigashima for a reason. He may not have been “a fantastic helmsman” like we saw in WCI but he was still hinted at having the potential for the role
