I think we may get more than just 1..

People I considered to join:

Kinemon:

I'd like Kenimon to join.... He's made me smile just like all the other SHs and he fits in decently with them. He argues with Sanji but seems to be forming respect for him as well. The way they're helping him without any reason could easily, and likely, show him that not all pirates are the detestable people he perceived them as.

On to his son. Just because he has a son doesn't necessarily stop him from making his own decisions. He could easily leave his son in Wano and join the Hats because he feels so indebted to them. Who's to say his son doesn't have a mother to take care of him? Yasopp left Usopp. Dragon left Luffy. Roger left an unborn Ace. But they still loved them nonetheless. His son could also die or already be dead. This is a development yet to be seen so I don't want to rule him out just because he has family ties. That doesn't seem to stop most fathers in this series from living their lives..

He seems to have a unique Zoan DF power which easily sets him apart from Zoro and Brook. No one ever said you could have too many swordsmen anyway. Besides, they all use different styles: Brook-1 style with music, Kinemon-2 style with sorcery, and Zoro-3 style Iai & Demon.

Jinbei:

I don't really care either way if he joins or not. He helped them greatly which warrants him joining. But I find his character a little bland.. Oda put his joining off for a reason I'm sure...maybe because he's still considering all that would come of his joining...though Jinbei did say if he met them in the future he hoped the offer would still stand. He is a fishman which would make for diversity. But on the Sunny, I see him being off to himself. Like Zoro, but Zoro has close ties with Chopper and Luffy.

Like I said, I don't really mind either way if he joins or not. But I'm having a hard time fitting him into their little family. In all his time he hasn't really made me smile or anything so if he did join I'd probably not even care.

Perona:

Not really a possibility. I just like her a lot and wished she joined. Sanji would fulfill her need for someone to cater to her needs, but that'd throw off his Nami-swan and Robin-chwan bit lol.

Aokiji:

I'm not sure about him. Though he is seemingly an ally to Robin, I doubt he'd stoop so low as to joining a pirate crew even if he left the World Government. I think it may be him who showed up in Punk Hazard though. Mainly from the shoes..

Not considered:

Jewlery:

No real reason to join. This character seems to be liked by fans so they want her to without any reason. She saved Zoro. So did Rayleigh. She's cool, but not really SH material. Plus she was a former captain. Not to mention Akainu has 9/10 taken her to Impel Down..

Monet:

Although she is a female, and the SHs do need another female member, she has done nothing so far to even think she would join. She's also way to similar to Robin.

Vivi:

Simply because she declined much earlier in the series. She's not very strong, but Luffy doesn't seem to mind strength when it comes to nakama. I'd love her to join, but she has duties as a princess to fulfill. She is an honorary SH if nothing else.

All in all, I think another female would be nice. I thought about Koala for a while and still like the idea of her as a badass janitor for the Sunny. But who knows who'll join next. I REALLY want Kinemon to join out of all the characters seen thus far.

Luffy, in the beginning, said he wanted at LEAST 10. He only has 8 so far. Oda could pull a fast one and count the Merry and Sunny, but I doubt that lol. I happily anticipate another 2 members joining before they reach the One Piece (the treasure of friendship/family Roger likely intended it to be hehe..plus berries). The series seems like it's far from over really. There are still quite a few mysteries to clear up and so much he could do with the New World that if he ended it soon I'd feel like the story had untapped potential.

Sorry for my essay, that's just my take on the (possible) new nakama.
