Gin: If Gin would join the SHS, Sanji wouln't join so I believe he choose Sanji over Gin.Why I say that he choose between them?The reason i say this is that:

. He never let 2 people join in the same arc.

. Gin would be in the trio, in the place of sanji and probably Oda didn't wanted that

. Maybe he is planning to put a more serious person afterwards in the SHS..
