Hmmmmm...Personally, I do not think that Arlong will join the crew...especially since he was such a major villain and also because his overall personality, look, and attitude isn't what a potential Strawhat crew member should be. However, I do believe that Luffy will recruit another member soon. This new member will most likely be someone who has NOT been revealed yet. I think it would be cool if the new member was either a fish-man, or a mermaid(which would fulfill Sanji's dream XD). Arlong will almost definetly be mentioned, and if he managed to escape from prison, than he will definetly be at Fishman Island.
