Nice idea, never thought about it actually. On one hand it could be something really cool to have someone guided by the Straw Hats, but on the other hand it drops the crew's value somewhat if you know what I mean. There are many crews out there that have their elites and the rest are like good for nothing, and I don't want this with the Straw Hats. In short, I don't think I have a clear opinion about this, so I guess I'd be fine with it either way. I hope though, that if they will get any apprentices, then they'll eventually become a strong and essential part of the crew.
