User blog comment:Ricizubi/It will be Shirahoshi, if this doesn't convince you even one bit that I give up/@comment-208.102.66.133-20111208065403

Shirahoshi would just be annoying. I don't want someone as weak as her to join right after the other's trained for two years nor do I want the Straw Hats to become her baby sitter. I want another girl, but I want a strong female character like Nami and Robin. Not someone who will be dependent on the crew.
