User blog comment:Ricizubi/Do you believe that the 10th memeber is Shirahoshi? or Jinbei?/@comment-1362207-20111029212652

I have said it before I will say it again. I don't think there will be a new Straw Hat... I mean... MAYBE Fukaboshi and Jinbe would but... It just wouldn't seem right... They all went through the sadness of there separation and the happiness of being brought together again. A new crew member wouldn't have that... (Thank you PX for bringing this up.) Plus you gotta understand, Its the second half of the series and Oda may be very well done with new Straw Hats. Besides, other than Helmsman I can't think of a occupation. Plus, while Jinbe DOES have a tragic past. He lacks a dream. Fukaboshi we haven't really gotten very much into yet.. but still. As for Shirahoshi, its out of the question, no way. She is, first of all, way to big to fit on the Sunny. Second, she can't fight. While she has gotten better over the course of this arc, She is way to timid to traverse the New World. Anyway, until I am proven wrong, I am a firm believer that there will be no more crew members! ( this has been copied from a previous post I put on another blog. Why? I JUST did it and didn't want to post it again.)
