Luffy stated that he wanted 10 strong crewmates not inculding luffy but if you count the thousand sunny you have 9 if jinbe joins that wil be 10 im pretty sure that oda plans to complete the crew withen the next 50-100 chapters because it is late in the series and many major events are coming like straw hats vs kid pirates or strawhats vs blackbeard pirates. also because it is after the time skip the new crewmember must be very strong to fit in with the rest of the crew and jinbe fits this and all the reqrenment requirments fo the straw hats.
