Theory The Final Straw Hat Crew Line Up Theory

#1
After the events in Wano, I am sure that Yamato would join the Straw Hat Pirates just like how Oden joined the Whitebeard Pirates in Chapter 964. In the latest chapter, Yamato stated that she wants to go onboard Luffy’s ship. Luffy said he will remove the Shackles from Yamato. Luffy always does what he says and he never breaks a promise.

Once the events in Wano is finished and once Yamato is on board with the Straw Hats, we would also get to see Carrot join the crew as well. Carrot would join the Straw Hat Pirates just like Nekomamushi and Inuarashi joined the Whitebeard Pirates in Chapter 964. She would stow away just like what she also did after the Zou Arc when she hides on Luffy’s backpack in Chapter 823-824.
Now for the final Straw Hat member, we would get to see who would join them on the next arc. The next arc would probably a follow up on the events of Levely. As we all know, Wano is a closed country, communicating with the outside world is not likely to happen until the war is over. After the events of Wano, someone might tell Luffy about what happened in Levely. There are three things that we can decipher from Chapter 956:
  • Someone died as stated by Morgan on his news and Wapol knows something that happened during the Levely and he might be a witness.
  • Something happened to the Nefertari family as stated by Garp when he was talking to King Neptune and Shirahoshi.
  • Something happened to Sabo that shocked the Revolutionary Army.
In Chapter 908, the Gorosei are having a conversation with Im-sama and they are talking about a “Great Cleansing”. Pictures of Luffy, Vivi, Shirahoshi, and Blackbeard were shown but it seems that only the picture of Vivi is still not ripped off.
This means that Vivi is the current target since she is in Mary Geoise at that time. The Nefertari is one of the 20 families that formed the Word Government years ago but they are the only ones that did not stay in Mary Geoise. Maybe Im-sama and the Gorosei see them as Traitors that’s why they are targeting them in their “Great Cleansing” project. So the question is who died?
Im-sama or the Gorosei ordered the CP-0 to kill Vivi. They failed to assassinate Vivi but this somehow resulted in King Cobra’s death. The CP-0 retried to kill her but Sabo saved her, the World Government knew the connection of Vivi and Sabo with the Straw Hat Pirates that’s why they framed them with the death of King Cobra.
Just like Robin, Vivi would go to the Revolutionary Family while the events of Wano is happening. She would be training under Sabo for a while. Once the events of Wano is done, Sabo would help follow the Straw Hats. Alabasta would be controlled by the World Government since their King is gone and no one would take over, Vivi would also not return since it would be dangerous for her to go back in Alabasta. She would join the Straw Hat, Luffy and the Crew would accept her. In Chapter 216, Vivi asked the Straw Hats if they will take her as a NAKAMA if they meet one day and the Straw Hat raised their arms with the X mark saying that they would. This is a huge foreshadowing by Oda that Vivi would really return and join the crew permanently.

I don't think so.
All 3 last members won't be female. Nope.


Aside from that, I don't think that carrot will join. She will join the grand fleet with some minks. But not the crew itself.


As for vivi, honestly, I like her. But she has nothing to offer the crew. No power, no ability, no role in the crew. She is weak as hell. So she wouldn't fit into the crew.
That's why I don't think that she will join.



Aside from that, I do believe that there will be 3 members who will join. And yamato is a given. Imo.


We all have seen many theories which were based on patterns on how oda let's characters join the strawhats. So no point in repeating all of that.
To conclude, imo it will be 4(east blue) + 4(paradise) + 4(new world).

The last 4 seems to be non human and... related to ace.

Jimbei and yamato.

But we will see.

They've hinted Otama joining since she once asked Ace to take her with him. He didn't and she waited at that torn down town for him, Luffy may end up fulfilling Ace's promise.

Caribou also asked Luffy to let him board his ship back in Udon. Luffy took a hard look at him and said OK, he's not a bad guy anymore.

And now we have Yamato.

I believe these three will end up joining with Momonosuke who'll find out about his importance/destiny in Laugh Tale. The scabbards and Hiyori will look after Wano.

Luffy will create mini xebec
He will have strong grand fleet

Katakuri leading bm pirates
Yamato leading beast pirate
Marco leading wb pirates
And the last one will be between shanks or bb crew

Also yamato is too strong, carrot is more balance to me, oda once stated that he didnt want main protagonist (SHC) too strong...

There is no big names that will join the grand fleet. Grand fleet captains are under Luffy

That was before he made Shanks crew so powerful, a crew that Luffy's crew has to surpass.

Shanks crew is like Rocks 2.0. The strongest crew that are sailing right now.

To be honest make sense
Yamato has no interest take over father Organization after finding out dad tried kill her if she were leave. It make sense for her get out there Unlike katkurai who well respect individual. Yamato doesn’t have the luxury because no one freed her themselves beside luffy. If anything She would face more backlash being yonko’s child that ruined there country for 20 + years. Not just by her father’s crew but wano citizen. The One piece world very discriminatory base on lineages like criminal acts, people who oppose the government, and your child of criminal. Just because aiding the ally forces doesn’t mean the world will automatically trust her as person. Sure Momo some of samurai could try voucher for her. But the citizen of wano and others outside wano are not so sure about this if they can trust her base 20 years rule and oppression by her father. Even though she had nothing do with it the world doesn’t see that way. Knowing this aspect she fits a lot with straw hats. Especially knowing that cp0 is there she is likely going get bounty on her head As result all of this. Which would cause her to leave as she originally attend.
She also similarities to female straw hats that came before us like Nami and robin. Working with Antagonist switching sides give little about her backstory. She also different which race is also bonus.
As for carrot sure she had history for quite sometime. Has interaction most of other straw hats in whole cake island. She would do something pedro couldn’t do actually travel future pirate king.
Vivi I think make most logical sense. Base on the the official one piece YouTube channel you do see vivi along with all other straw hats. Plus her family has been mention multiple times through the story . Weather, the elder stars consider her family to be traitors and finally garp mention Incident that happen alabasta. It make me wonder why does world government think nefertari consider traitors.

Comparing Yamato and Carrot as for the latest chapter

Dream
Yamato - follow Oden Path
Carrot - finishing Pedro dreams ( minks tribe need to see dawn)
Too many people carrying Oden Will and Path - Carrot win. Race over individuality

Drawing - untill Yamato DF were shown Carrot Sulong trumped

Fighting - pretty unique both have fighting style that none strawhats have. Draw

Quirks - Oden vs non clue cuteness. This is a tough one but I choose cute over creepy.

Job - Yamato doesn't have specific job to relate to strawwhats rightnow. So Carrot win

Sad backstory - Carrot win over abused child which Sanji already have. No more daddy issue. Your mentor died in front of your eyes win over abused child. Luffy got beaten by Garps to make him strong. So be beaten up by Kaido because mentioning Oden lose to Mentor dying in front of your eyes.

Age wise - 15 over 28. Carrot win

Strength - Yamato win but stawhats doesn't recruit only strength base.

Relationship with the crew - Carrot known and likeable by whole crew. Yamato only Luffy right now. Carrot win

Character development that Luffy need to resolve - Carrot none pretty much resolve straight away after Pedro death. So Yamato win

Yamato need more but who knew Oda, he just suprise us

Vivi alredy a crew. No need to compare.

Remember the DF Straw Hat Number Theory? gomu gomu = 5,6; hito hito = 1,10; hana hana = 8,7; yomi yomi = 4,3. People at the time suggested this would make Bartholomew Kuma, Nikyu nikyu = 2,9 the next straw hat, and Oda laughed it off, but did make it seem like the SBS question asker was on to something. Well, I spent way too long looking at all the different ways to pronounce 9 and 2 in Japanese, and mixing them together, and then seeing what words they could make, and I didn't get too many. (rotten-rotten fruit and instant-instant fruit are possibilities too) but the ones that stuck out were with Kyuji kyuji (9,2). It can mean "giving food to an animal" (給餌) or "Ball kid" (球児). "給" and "球" can also be pronounced "Tama." We don't know her Devil Fruit yet because it would probably spoil this. Tama is the next Straw Hat, imo
