User blog comment:Videogamep/Wanda for Next Straw Hat!!!/@comment-24850639-20160120155549

The Grand Fleet kinda threw a wrench in things as far as recruiting goes. You now have to look at every potential candidate as being better for the crew, or better for the fleet. Jinbei seemed to be a sure thing, and now its possible that he instead might lead a Fishman unit of the Straw Hats with the rescued Sun Pirates as a foundation.

I like Pekoms too, but the more I think about what just happened, its hard for me to not put him in the same box. The Minks absolutely love the Straw Hats now, and they can ALL fight, so I don't think the amount of people who would want to help would be limited to just Wanda or Pekoms, especially if they will need Inu and Neko again in the future for whatever "the world is waiting" on in regards to them. IF Pekoms is still there on Zou right now, then I see him more as our source of info on just who Big Mom is and where she comes from, how her crew is structured, etc.
