If a new member is to be added I would want it to be someone that is closer to an apprentice than to the current crew members. SImilar to how Shanks and Buggy were for Roger, I'd want the new member to be someone younger and looking to head out into the world. If they have a DF I wouldn't want them anywhere near to have perfecting it's use. On the ship the person would be a helper all over the place, learning a little of everyone's job.
