I wouldn't include Brook here, the guy has had some great moments throughout the New World and he was the MVP in Whole Cake Island. I don't think we can say that the character who first faced an emperor among the Straw Hats, stole her poneglyph, broke Carmel's portrait, subdued an army of homies... plus other small yet interesting things (the concert in Sabaody, using his new abilities to free them from the cage in Fishman Island, finding Kin'emon's torso and defeating one of the dragons, defeating Giolla...) hasn't been a main player in the New World.

I think the problem with this quartet are Robin and Chopper, mainly. Robin has been quite a plain character who doesn't really have anything to do apart from reading poneglyphs, so the spotlight will come by end of series; and we all know that Oda basically sold Chopper to merchandising and flanderization, and on top of that he has consistently introduced characters who are either better doctors or have some kind of curative ability that renders the reindeer virtually useless. They both better do something, because they are harming the group as a whole, in which as I said Brook has been a main player so far and Franky is in the middle, more or less.

yeah it was never CLEARLY suggested , not even in the slightest huh

Caribou asked the same thing and the poor guy isn't assumed as a member by default. There's a big difference between considering Yamato as a potential crewmate and literally including her in tons of threads that revolve around the crew in its current condition.

you mean this :




yeah i do believe that He will get a ride on the ship til he gets back home or find his crew but it will be more like Ceasar Clown which's something situational and Luffy agrees to that so i dont see the problem (obviously Luffy says as long as you've changed so Caribou needs to not betray us in this war)

i haven't been caught up to the forum opinion on this matter or the agendas around here but here's mine :

- Yamato and Tama already asked Luffy to join the Crew
- Yamato after the defeat of Kaido has no reason to stay in Wano as she wants to travel the World and be on the PK ship like Oden
- Momo wants to be like his father thus his journey will probably mimic Oden's

Last Chapter Yamato even mentions the Dawn and how Momo is the one to bring it which put massive ties to him and Luffy ... Everything points towards these 3 joining

Like you could probably make an argument for each not joining that would make some sense but in general everything is pointing towards them sailing with Luffy to Raftel (you could add Carrot to the mix and remove Tama idc its still the same)

Yamato and Momo are really important characters for end game stuff and Raftel and I'm 100% convinced they are joining
She has no dream after opening the borders other than the generic dream of leaving Wano and looks like a carbon copy of Nami.
Momo needs to lead Wano. He would get nothing from Sailing with crew because in story time The SH will find OP in a couple months

idk if ur serious and want to discuss or just a troll but for one this dream concept could still be introduced , ffs we have a guy that his dream is to become a brave warrior and another guy that wants to meet a whale ... pretty sure Oda could tie in some Oden related dream of travelling and reachign the one piece

momo cant lead wano , hes too young its up to his sister to take that vacum and he has bigger importance to the story and unlike shirahoshi , rebecca or vivi who all chose to stay for their personal reasons this one is different imho and he already has a dynamic inside the crew

the difference is her dream will be completed right when she leaves Wano. Her character arc will be learning Identity theft is bad and was introduced 80 chapters into her own arc. Imagine if Franky was just another prisoner in EL and we didn’t see him W7 at all. She also has no position on the crew.
Well the strawhats journey will be over in a couple month in story time so what’s even the point. He’s also way too weak. It makes no difference if he sails with them.

People are really slow on the uptake that the story is about Luffy and the two most important story characters after him, and the ones that receive the most focus, are Zoro and Nami. Oda has called these three the “triggers” of One Piece. There is no divisions among the crew that exist other than those three and everyone else.

The story keeps developing, new plot twists are introduced and it is only obvious that the more powerful chars will be joining and becoming nakamas. That makes it just more interesting.
I expect not to see much from Nami or Usopp as it has been for many chapters and in many arcs. Their almost non-existent fight models are predicted and we all know they won't do any major fights to win a battle. The focus turned to others, more powerful fighters and introducing other chars. It is what it is
