User blog comment:Fliu/New Giant Warrior Pirates: Position of the fifth member?/@comment-24850639-20180327145322

I have read this information about the next member being a helmsman as well. Given how far out from the actual release of the chapter we are, I'm not inclined to believe it. Had this been new information as of this week, it's more likely I'd be sold. Personal opinion though, having a doctor is of absolute necessity. The Straw Hats  have shown that the helmsman position is something that can be rotated. A lot of people can assume the duties of a helmsman, but the skills necessary to be a doctor (let alone one for a giant) I would imagine are more of a rarity.

As for which giant it may be, I'm not sold on popular opinion with Gerth here either. The big difference between Gerth and Hajrudin (and most giants for that matter) is that she was actually friends with LinLin. Hajrudin is someone who only knows of LinLin through her atrocities, and thus it makes sense that he'd hold a strong grudge. Gerth on the other hand I would expect to retain at least some kind of positive memory of her friend. I wouldn't put it past her to fight Big Mom if she had to of course, but she didn't strike me as the kind of person that would personally seek out retribution against LinLin. So I don't think Gerth is a pirate or a marine, but rather someone who will be in Elbaf when we get there.
