"but as much as you guys want it"? I never said that this is my utter most wish, but it is what I believe to be the most plausible guess if there is to be a tenth member (which seems to only be based on Luffy saying he wants a ten man strong crew before entering the grand line, something he did almost 500 chapters ago with four members beside himself). Everyone in the crew now has shown their loyalty to Luffy by training/studying "for the sake of the crew" for two years. I there is to be a tenth member it cannot join in the same haphazard way as the others have, but must show the same trust and respect for Luffy or the crew as the other has during the time skip. This could be Sabo, Luffy's brother and was-meant-to-be crew mate, or ex-straw hat Nefertari Vivi.
