Forum:List of Possible New members of the Straw Hats (based on opinions, but well-reasoned ones)

Jimbei: He turned down the offer for the moment, but there is a high possibility that might still join later -- so far, except for him and a giant beetle, everyone that Luffy has asked to join his crew has joined.''' Margureite: Possible, but unlikely, I believe -- she did say the Straw Hat crew looked 'fun/interesting' however; in addition, she has been established as a haki user, which would be fitting on the crew. Aokiji: '''Would be kinda fitting, but highly unlikely; I'd say about the same probability as Smoker, Tashigi, or Sengoku -- pretty much zilch. That said, Aokiji, Smoker, Tashigi, & Sengoku are all very disillusioned with the World Goverment now, due to the breakout at Impel Down being covered up. The fact that in the new One Piece movie Z he is chasing the Straw Hats seems to make him even less likely of a candidate for joining, but you never know; Oda Echiiro is a tricky author -- he loves to throw plot twists at his readers.''' Princess Vivi: After the timeskip, who knows what she's been up to -- however, her realm (Alabasta) is significantly farther back along the Grand Line - in Paradise, in fact - so unless she has already gone ahead, it is unlikely she will be another member. Bon Kurei: Still alive after the timeskip, has an established alliance with the Straw Hats, would make the perfect spy, but is otherwise indisposed -- either he would have to break out of Impel Down, or the Straw Hats would have to come & get him -- both scenarios are unlikely. Kinemon [the Samurai in the current arc]: would make a secondary swordsman, but he can cut fire with his sword -- (does that include magma?) -- and his position as a samurai is rather unique so far, unless you count the zombie which had Brook's shadow on Thriller Bark. Coby: '''Knows Luffy & Zoro well, and the other straw hats as acquaintances -- was appalled when, during the War of the Best at Marineford, Akainu killed a marine who ran away. In addition, he seems sickened by the thought of further fighting due to his haki, and his own - apparently pacifist - nature.''' Helmeppo: Same as Coby. Boa Hancock: '''Not a chance, unless something major changes with regards to her Shichibukai position being used to keep Amazon Lily & the Kujas safe from invaders. (Not to mention that she would probably kill Sanji & Brook (again) for being perverts.)

MR. 2 IS ALIVE?!??! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the strawhats don't need a spy,they have robin who can bloom eyes or ears anywhere solid

I would have to hope for Vivi. maybe she got worried for Luffy after she saw the news paper. remember how she sort of noticed luffy's message in it. she could of figured it out and traveled so that she could meet up with them in two years somewhere in the new world. or i'd have to say that Kinemon is also a possibility right now like you said, but there would definatly be copitition between him and zoro. well at least on zoro's side. and i'm sure jimbe will join once they defeat big mam and secure fishman islands safety, but i'm also hoping for some new characters to join who we haven't met yet.

Vivi isn't gonna join... she's far too weak,but yeah jimbei's gonna join after they defeat bigmom
