Your dream crew member?

[CJ]

Ky and I have been riding the Monet Crewmember Hype Train for years now. But it's got me thinking. What are the crewmembers that people have always wanted? These can be previously established characters or maybe characters you've imagined up yourself.

Obviously mine is Monet. With her role as an astronomer and her logia devil fruit, I thought she'd be a very interesting crew member. I even wonder if Oda had plans for her to be a crewmember and then went back on it. Either way, I'm sure we're not done with the character yet so we can only see for now.

Please keep manga related spoilers marked as such!

I've said it before, but definitely Bellamy. Only way to redeem this arc is if he joins at the end.

Monet and Bellamy are certainly good choices, and would have a lot of great moments should they join the crew, even if I may question the logistics of the how and why they would join. But mind if I humbly put forward another figure for consideration? Someone with a wicked scientific mind, and skills possessed by nobody on the crew to date? Someone with a strong personality, really, of an archetype that has yet to grace the Straw Hat Pirates? Someone who has already been proven to have excellent comic chemistry with the main characters? A rather important part of the current storyline, but one who has yet to be fully elaborated on? Someone who is already on the boat?

I am, of course, talking about Caesar Clown. Caesar should join the crew.

Now, I can see your arguments. He is, perhaps, a bit of a villain. But has Luffy not already forgiven villains who have done far worse? And wouldn't the potential benefits of having someone like himself on the crew far outshine the negatives? He's one of the few characters I can think of who could actually do things that one of the other characters wouldn't, and really, since he's been part of the story for so long (three arcs, assuming he'll be there for the next one) I can only imagine that Oda has SOMETHING big planned for him. Might be a long shot, but he's the candidate I support, for now.

Other than him? I dunno, all of Cavendish's scenes have been gold, so I'd like to see a bit more outta him, don't know if I really wanna see him on the boat, though.

Since Blackbeard has 10 division commanders under him I assume that Luffy will have 10 as well so we need 1 more or 2 more if you don't count Jinbe but I believe Jinbei will join the crew once Luffy's bounty rises from defeating Doflamingo, it will establish that Luffy has the higher bounty and has surpassed Jinbe in strength as the captain of a ship must be the strongest from what we have seen.

old character's I wished had joined the crew, there is only really 2 I wanted that being Vivi and Boa Hancock.

Hancock I wanted to join because she is a powerhouse, something the straw hats don't have when it comes to the female members and something I really want them to have. Really hoped it would have been Rebecca in this Dressrosa arc but Oda incredibly wasted her entire build up by having her miss out on fighting Diamante and instead gave it to Kyros who in my opinion should have lost so that Rebecca could finally turn her sword on Diamante and fight for real something she never did.

Nami and Robin have been left in the dust when it comes to major battles their last real contribution to fights where Yama and Kalifa.
Now I understand that having every arc feature full crew battles and giving each fight 2 or 3 chapters would drag one piece on forever but the two women are the only ones who haven't had a fight since the full crew battles stopped in Enies Lobby and with all those subordinates that Doflamingo had Robin didn't get to fight a single one but Franky and Zoro did, they were the only two who didn't get fights on Fishman Isalnd, was it really that hard for Oda to make two more random evil fishmen henchman and include them in the fights, and on Punk Hazard against Monet, Zoro took the fight because he cant go one arc without a fight and then Tashigi joined in instead of Nami and Robin who were both there at the start.

Pretty much I want an "Erza" for the straw hats, I like Bartolomeo but if he is the 10th and final member I'm gonna be extremely pissed off.

I would currently be happy with Monet, Rebecca or Viola joining the crew.
Viola is a now a former criminal of the doflamingo pirates and could be made wanted by the WG.
Rebecca is the daughter of a man who couldn't marry Scarlet without faking her death so would she be accepted on the throne should Riku step down.
And there's a good case for Monet here


simply put 10th member better be a female fighter of some sort who wont get left outta the fighs.
