I like Vivi but she would make a boring character on the ship. If you look at the straw hat crew, everyone has almost some unique characteristics (be it personality or devil fruit), I don't see anything interesting about Vivi. |

Kinnemon
I'm hoping it's Kinnemon. I really love Kinnemon to be a part of Strawhat crew since he's more comfortable now with the crew. He even has combination attacks with Zorro and Brook so I assume he's the 10th member. I didn't forget the promise of Jimbe to Luffy but damn, I would love Kinnemon to join them.

During Marineford war he had three members on his side (Hancock, Crocodile, Jinbe), two future members (Law and Buggy) and Kuma and Miwakh helped during the training. After the training he recoved Hancock, Jinbe and Law. They can't be "crew members". The seven representative are "allied crews". The next members are the samurai. Oda gave various hints in this sense... |

I don't think so. Increasing the crew fold by four people? not a chance. I mean the larger the crew gets the harder it is for Oda to manage and things are tough as it is. The reason the samurai are here is most likely because they are gonna be the focus of a major story arc, which will probably happen when they get to Wano. Though the samurai probably will join the Strawhat Alliance when this is all over

Kinemon is a canon member of the crew but his role as Straw Hat pirate is unrevealed (at moment). |

It took me a little while to realize why the case with Yamato and Momo ended up the way it did, and the conclusion I've come to is that Momo is being built up to eventually challenge Yamato to prove to her that he is capable of defending Wano on his own and further encourage Yamato to sail out not only to embrace her freedom at sea to the fullest, but to also accomplish her greater purpose of finding the answer as to why Wano should be opened, likely by going to Laugh Tale.
After Momo read the journal and realized the last page was missing, it left him concerned as to why his dad Oden would want to open Wano in the first place and then decided not to open Wano after that. So it's probably not that Momo is concerned about if he's able to open the borders, but why he should open the borders, and him wanting to surpass Oden would lead to him working hard on his bolo breath aiming and arnament haki usage, presumably trained by Hyogoro, in such a way so as to ultimately become a reliable enough defender. Maybe he'd even challenge Yamato to a fight after finding out she lied to him about why she stayed in order to prove to her once and for all that he has become reliable despite his past failure with the admiral. Would make for a nice parallel too in just that Momo tried fighting Kaido to get him to leave due to him taking peoples' freedoms, he'd then fight his daughter Yamato because he'd want his friend to live out her freedom at sea to the fullest. I admit I'm not the biggest fan of how Oda had all this play out, but assuming he's doing all this for Yamato and Momo's benefit, as well as our benefit of not having our time wasted with Yamato's sailing narrative pushed as much as it was after all, then I think it would make the most sense in that case. |
