Forum:List of Possible New members of the Straw Hats (based on opinions, but well-reasoned ones)

Jimbei: He turned down the offer for the moment, but there is a high possibility that might still join later -- so far, except for him and a giant beetle, everyone that Luffy has asked to join his crew has joined.''' Margureite: Possible, but unlikely, I believe -- she did say the Straw Hat crew looked 'fun/interesting' however; in addition, she has been established as a haki user, which would be fitting on the crew. Aokiji: '''Would be kinda fitting, but highly unlikely; I'd say about the same probability as Smoker, Tashigi, or Sengoku -- pretty much zilch. That said, Aokiji, Smoker, Tashigi, & Sengoku are all very disillusioned with the World Goverment now, due to the breakout at Impel Down being covered up. The fact that in the new One Piece movie Z he is chasing the Straw Hats seems to make him even less likely of a candidate for joining, but you never know; Oda Echiiro is a tricky author -- he loves to throw plot twists at his readers.''' Princess Vivi: After the timeskip, who knows what she's been up to -- however, her realm (Alabasta) is significantly farther back along the Grand Line - in Paradise, in fact - so unless she has already gone ahead, it is unlikely she will be another member. Bon Kurei: Still alive after the timeskip, has an established alliance with the Straw Hats, would make the perfect spy, but is otherwise indisposed -- either he would have to break out of Impel Down, or the Straw Hats would have to come & get him -- both scenarios are unlikely. Kinemon [the Samurai in the current arc]: would make a secondary swordsman, but he can cut fire with his sword -- (does that include magma?) -- and his position as a samurai is rather unique so far, unless you count the zombie which had Brook's shadow on Thriller Bark. Coby: '''Knows Luffy & Zoro well, and the other straw hats as acquaintances -- was appalled when, during the War of the Best at Marineford, Akainu killed a marine who ran away. In addition, he seems sickened by the thought of further fighting due to his haki, and his own - apparently pacifist - nature.''' Helmeppo: Same as Coby. Boa Hancock: '''Not a chance, unless something major changes with regards to her Shichibukai position being used to keep Amazon Lily & the Kujas safe from invaders. (Not to mention that she would probably kill Sanji & Brook (again) for being perverts.)
