i just don't see a warlord joining a crew as lackey. and we all know oda will give us a really badass fishman to join
Isn't that statement contradicting itself? :ermm:
i just don't see a warlord joining a crew as lackey. and we all know oda will give us a really badass fishman to join
Isn't that statement contradicting itself? :ermm:
I was going to explain in detail in my last post how i came up with my conclusion. But i got to late on me so I'm going to going to do so now. First off I like to point out like most people have that luffy said that he wanted a crew of at least 10 and zoro was the first.So with that said we now have 8 now not counting luffy himself. That leaves 2 more people to join. Now like i said in my first post we have yet to meet the last to members of the crew but I'll get to that later.Now so what i think the first one will be a fishman and yes i said fishman not mermaid i think his job on the crew will be helmsman and he will be a octopus type fishman but not Hachi. I would like to see his fighting style as boxing and i would also like to see him having a flying fish like the flying fish rider that he would store ing the last spot of the docking system.
The reason for joining is he get a bounty while fighting along side the strawhats on fishman island.Dream boxing champ.Ok now for the second one i would like to seen will come after the grand line and she will a scout. she will be a fruit user The Tori Tori no Mi, Model: eagle. The reason for coming after the the grand line is scout were normally natives to the region in which they were sailing.Now I'll go in to the reason it is not some of the people that have been discussed time and time again.First off let look at the strawhats as being a power scale with luffy being the highest power and usopp being the lowest.
Now with that said general rule of thumb is no crew member is to be stronger then the captain which in this case is Luffy so that eliminates boa, **Jinbei and crocodile.**I know that you are going to say Luffy beat crocodile which means he is not stronger then luffy. Others that have been mentioned is ace but i think if ace make it out alive and whitebeard dose not. Then he will start chasing after onepiece himself and try to become thepirate king like the man that he calls his father wanted.Now for Hachi currently is already fulfilling his dream as a cook so no dream no join.Now for camie.Let go back to the first part of what i said about the power scale. oda has stated that usopp will always be the weakest. not saying she isn't strong but we also have to take in account she doesn't have legs yet so she can't go on land very well. and now last but not least perona do you really want to see here running around all the time whining about nobody doing what she wants to do or using here power to make every one depressed all the time. Really come now you might as well say the old guy with nami is going to join.
Just read this and understand a lot of my point of view
I read it. All I see in the first paragraph is your personal design for who you want. There are even errors in that fanfic (how is a flying fish supposed to stay alive in the docking bay with no water to breathe in?).
It sounds like your only real argument against Jinbei is the standard strength argument, which has been addressed several times already.
http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/8/8b/Thousand_Sunny_pg.192-193.jpg
that looks like it says water collects
"Collects" is much different than "resides", which would be required for a living fish. Basically, when the doors open to release a boat, water enters to allow the boat to float out.
@People:
lol @ hancock and jinbei
Anyway, there will be no more news crew-menbers:
- Brook is a musician, which is the first wish of Luffy. It end the recruitment.
- The grand Line is the part where Luffy builds his crew, his fame. The new world will be the build of allies and reach the top.
- The more important: The crew have been separated. It's like a judgement, they are not good enough, they have to come back stronger, if a new menber appear (which will not happen) he didnt participate in it, he will not be a full menber.
Lol, Luffy said he wanted 10 people. Which comes in agreement with what Oda once said.
The Straw Hats need to work together as a sportsteam. (Thriller Bark being an example.)
Oda's favorite sport is Soccer was stated in a SBS or interview.
And soccer you play with 11 people.
10 Players + 1 Captain = 10 crewmembers + 1 Captain.

I like it!
Can't wait to see the crew 5 years from now. Hopefuly all 10, 11 or what ever Oda wants will be there. It will be such a colorful group, the crew now don't even look remotely like a team, thats the greatest thing ever!
first off i would like to say is if you look at the overhead shot of the docking system you it look like water standing in each of the docks with that said i'm sure franky can modify it to hold enough water for a flying fish. Now let get back on track .
Here are some more points to why jinbei will not be the next crew member .First off his actions in becoming a shichibukai caused arlong and arlong park . We may see 3 deaths in this war one from each of the main superpowers WB from the yonkou,Garp from the marines,and jinbei from the shichibukai that way there is no real swing in power but still has a major impact on the world.

I doubt Jinbei will die… Hell Oda kills no one so far... And by the way. Why should he die now? He has his story with Luffy which has to be talked about after this war and problably will include Nami as well.
Really liking or not liking the persons which might join. FOR NOW there are some canditates with chances and coming with silly arguments like... hell too strong. Robin owned the whole crew and what happened? She joined without knowing she isn't that strong.
We have Jinbei, Boa, Croc and Perona mentioned by the most of the prople here and if I would have a ranking of a possible joining it would be
1. Jinbei
2. Perona
3. Boa
4. Croc
would I go about my fav or my theories and wishes it would be Croc by far. But Jinbei is showeda lot of nakama-like scenes. even more than Boa now.
First off his actions in becoming a shichibukai caused arlong and arlong park.
Robins actions helped cause Alabasta. and she did it on purpose
We may see 3 deaths in this war one from each of the main superpowers WB from the yonkou,Garp from the marines,and jinbei from the shichibukai that way there is no real swing in power but still has a major impact on the world.
*Jmibei isnt a schichibukai
*Jimbei doesnt even compare to WB and Grarp
*The government has options for new schichibukai
*They have tons of Kuma clones

I suppose that's possible, but those things are very large and it probably wouldn't be able to move at all. That'd be a really crappy way to keep a pet.

People forgive, which is a part of the manga. Robin and Franky were both forgiven for the damage they caused.
Seeing 3 major deaths in a single arc is so far fetched that you're better off just saying "he may not join when it's over" since it'd be far more believable. Also, this war IS supposed to make a major impact on the world.
Even though I don't think Jinbei will ever become a strawhat, the nami/arlong reason people are giving is ludicrous.
First off he is up there with garp and WB he wouldn't be excepted as a shichibukai if he wasn't .Since we can only assume he is going to fight with the pirate alliance but as we know him and boa are highly unpredictable.Yes he denounced his title but even sengoku was wondering if he was going to calm down and fight with them .Yes his loyalty is with WB because of his protection of fishman island .They all will all be in there groups replaced but there deaths will still make a impact the world. But if he doesn't die and WB does then he will more then likely become the protector of fishman island
This is something that has been gone over before, could Jinbei protect Fishman Island on his own? I tend to think he would try either way, which is one of the reasons I think he won't join.
I vaguely remember someone making a counter argument that Luffy would place Fishman Island under his protection after doing something snazzy at Marineford, but that's looking less likely now.
Fishman Island has a treaty with the WG so they wont bother them. The big problem is the slave traders. Slave trading has been shown to be an old, huge problem. Not resolving that problem won't fix anything in the end. If the slavery issue is resolved, then Fishman Island should be able to protect itself. I'll personally be extremely surprised if Luffy doesn't put an end to it before he enters the New World. That's just the way Oda's writing style has worked in the past.
If FI does need a protector, I've never thought Luffy was the ideal choice for that role since his crew is so few in number. Whitebeard can send people back to the island but Luffy wouldn't have that luxury. The more realistic options for that role, IMO, would be Dragon or Ace, since they would have the number of people necessary to actually protect it in practice.
Anyway, now that Jinbei is an enemy of the WG (who is on the doorstep of Fishman Island), he may very well cause as much harm as good by staying there.
if anybody reclaims fishman island as their own its going to be blackbeard or another emperor. that would be a way out for jimbei since he wouldn't be needed. whoever reclaims fishman island will probably upset jimbei enough to make him leave or he will be forced to leave. i'm hoping it's blackbeard who will claim fishman island and then have him start his rise to fame. if blackbeard does indeed release a bunch of level 6 guys and has them join his crew then he will be really far ahead of luffy in terms of power. that is why i see a shichibukai join luffy's team. even with the shichibukai i see blackbeards crew still being far, far stronger than luffy's. blackbeard will also probably gain many allies as he goes on through the new world. at the end it's going to be luffy and his crew and allies vs blackbeard and his crew and his allies.
Anyway, now that Jinbei is an enemy of the WG (who is on the doorstep of Fishman Island), he may very well cause as much harm as good by staying there.
that's a good point. whoever runs fishman island will most likely ask jimbei to leave since he caused much harm to fishman island by throwing away his title. plus if another pirate claims it whoever runs fishman island might partner with them and jimbei will have to leave.

Or Ace? Are you assuming that he becomes the new captain of the WB pirates and that they make it out of marineford? Or did you perhaps mean someone besides Ace?
Or Ace? Are you assuming that he becomes the new captain of the WB pirates and that they make it out of marineford? Or did you perhaps mean someone besides Ace?
Well I certainly don't think he'd do it from the grave. I've said countless times that I'll be shocked if Ace dies (not impossible but HIGHLY unlikely), which would mean that I expect him to make it out alive. The vast majority of Whitebeard's crew should make it out alive as well since Oda is writing the story. I'm not going to say that Ace will lead Whitebeard's whole crew, as they may very well seperate into several crews. I do, however, believe that he'll lead a crew which will be significantly larger than Luffy's.
Why would I type Ace if I meant someone else? He's a very good prospect for that role, considering his potential.
To be honest, I don't see anyone joining until the crew has assembled again. It just feels like it's too soon IMO.
I do think (and hope) a fishman will join but I don't see Jinbei (as awesome as he is) doing so.
if a fishman joins the crew then it's going to be the best fishman. everybody on the strawhats is the best at what they do. jimbei as far as we know is the best fishman. well at least the best fishman that isn't completely evil. i'm hoping there is some great white shark fishman that is completely evil and lives at fishman island and is stronger than jimbei.
^luffy, zoro, ussop and chopper are all not the best at what they do. You may have missed it but it's kind of their entire plots…

I think your analogy is a bit flawed
Jimbei : Best Fishman :: Strawhats :: Best in their fields.
^ The problem there is that being a Fishman is not the same as a career. That's like saying Chopper is the best deer, instead of the best doctor. As far as we know, Jimbei doesn't have a specific specialty other than combat.

I don't know why,but your comment made me baww at some point.
lol.
Anyone interested in this poll?
The question of the poll: Which former boss will join? Based on Greg's information.
http://vnsharing.net/forum/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=1421
They are not retarded. I don't why Crocodile got so many votes, including the mod's and super mod's.
I don't think anyone's joining
To me, with this whole time skip speculation going on, it's just not nessacary
There's no way a warlord (or former warlord) will join, IMO, so that rules out Hancock and Jimbei. Croc? LOL. Buggy? No way…we already have Luffy and Captain Usopp, the Straw Hats don't need ANOTHER captain. The Straw Hats are supposed to be underdogs, having a Shichibukai is too much of an advantage. Plus, a Shichibukai on a crew that they're not captain of would be really awkward.
I still think Perona is the most likely candidate. Her interations with the crew would be hilarious, she already has her own Jolly Roger, and Oda has to be keeping her in the story for some reason. Plus, it was kind of foreshadowed. Luffy did say he wanted a ghost as a pet.
Her and Zoro (at least based on the cover story) seem to be coming to some sort of understanding. Plus, considering Zoro's sense of direction, there's no way he's getting off of that island without her help.
Plus, her whole motivation (if you look a little deeper into her character) is that she's lonely. Zoro probably won't just leave her behind once he meets back up with the crew. So she'll just stick around with the Straw Hats. Her backstory will probably come later.
As far as Hancock's "dream" goes, my guess would be that it would be to live her life alongside Luffy and, as his quote unquote "wife", support him in fulfilling his dream of being the Pirate King.
It might be a little hamfisted, but if you think about it, Usopp and Chopper's dreams (being a "brave warrior of the sea" and "discovering a cure to any disease") hardly have anything to do with traveling with Luffy; the dreams don't always have to be some set in stone reason for their adventure.

Oda doesn't agree with you
When you’re drawing are there any rules for yourself with respect to things you absolutely will not do?
I like to draw party scenes. So I don’t want to draw anything that would ruin that atmosphere. And this is a manga for boys so I won’t draw anything about relationships. I get a lot of letters from female readers asking me to cover some kind of relationship but if that’s what you want to read, go read a girl’s manga, that’s not my job. I don’t care if someone falls for Luffy, but it’s something that would be over before you know it. But knowing Luffy, I don’t think that kind of thing would be a problem. (laughs)
I don't think there will be any romances among that crew… One Piece isn't a romance...romance isn't depicted.
Mistress Croc would be weaker than Luffy.
What? I don't think Oda show us the gender-changing hormone ability of Ivankov just for random stuff.
Quote myself here:
Crocodile is the manliest man in OP and he used to be a woman? That would be awesome!
WHY JINBEI CANNOT JOIN THE CREW!!:
To be honest, my Jinbei overview is rather deep… this is like a little sample from the surface. When I type stuff like the really deep stuff, people can't seem to accept it. So, I basically just stress samples from the surface until someone says "true"!! and then I stress another thing until it is confirmed so that people follow along. Then it gets to the deep stuff. In order to really convince you that Jinbei can't join though, this part basically relies on literal reads and judging his character. I can seriously go deep on this, but I will go "step by step" just to basically have people follow along.
Now, the idea that Jinbei is a bad person, I don't agree. He has never "killed" anyone in front of our eyes. He hasn't even been there to basically harm anyone since he was in jail. As well as the idea that his lack of DF doesn't really harm anyone. He basically doesn't seem like he wants to hurt anyone and seems to fear taking someone's life. As he didn't comply with Crocodile. So, if he seems so bent on non-violence, it doesn't suggest he is evil at heart.
BUT, Jimbei is too wide to fit through the doors, given that, it's hard to imagine that Oda would make a mistake that badly in an effort to basically leave a plot hole for Jimbei to join. He'd basically have to cover it up to redo the ship, which seems way too absurd. If he planned for Jimbei to join, he would have made the Sunny bigger or the man able to fit it. So, it throws off him joining... The ship is basically Franky's dream, so basically upgraded it for a bigger one is not feasible. I am so against Oda being that wrong on it.
Yes, I know that Jinbei is not taller, he is "3" Luffy's in width. The doorways are "1 Luffy and 1 Usopp" in width.
Usopp = Luffy just about...
So, 3 ≠ 2 Luffy.
Therefore, since it can only be a "Luffy and a Usopp" that can fit at once through a door according to the manga example, it shows that a "3" Luffy seems like it will break it. Then, "make it all wider" is something that seems so absurd because it's a plot hole and in addition you would have to increase every room for "2" Luffy to "3.1" Luffy... Of course, this has a side effect that Chopper will have a hard time in half form and that'll probably lead to someone dying even... All because Chopper couldn't open a door fast enough. Of course, that is before the problems with the layouts that the sunny already has and all the current stuff seems like Franky is better off to just get a new ship than bother.
Having to increase every door will lead to a completely redone ship.... IN other words, Oda will have to say that he made a plot hole present. So, if Oda wanted a character like Jimbei to join, in order to avoid a plot hole, he might have made the ship fit him or the character fit in. I can go into details why other things suggest he doesn't join, but this one is more "functional". You can just say "true"!! and then I stress another thing until it is confirmed.
You are awesome, Robby.
That made my day.
robby you have swayed me however i do believe their is a chance that Jimbei will inspire some fishman(or women) to join on their journey to FI
as for Perona i didnt think about Luffy's comment on wanting a ghost as a pet b4 as an argument but it could be an indicator and i do see her personality as compatibale despite peoples protesting
she basically is someone who needs a friend thats her bottome line
i think handcock will be the chi chi of One Piece rooting for Luffy and make him promise to comeback stronger or something
There's no way a warlord (or former warlord) will join, IMO, so that rules out Hancock and Jimbei. Croc? LOL. Buggy? No way…we already have Luffy and Captain Usopp, the Straw Hats don't need ANOTHER captain. The Straw Hats are supposed to be underdogs, having a Shichibukai is too much of an advantage. Plus, a Shichibukai on a crew that they're not captain of would be really awkward.
I'll put this simply this way:
There is no way a Shichibukai will join; BECAUSE IT HASN'T HAPPENED BEFORE!
The trouble with regarding the "it hasn't happened before" rule is Oda's abused it in the past to surprise us. Robin comes to mind, first villain to join the crew. Heck, who knew Robin would join? I know I didn't the first time I saw the Alabasta arc.
So I simply cannot accept the "it hasn't happened before" argument as a reason for something not happening. Lets look at OP:
-No one has stormed Enies Lobby
-No one has led a mass break out at ID
-No one has put enough of a fight against the WG
-No one succeeded in getting the Shardians land back.
And the list goes on.
The storyline constantly says "No one has… But we just did..." So I cannot accept this as an excuse for a Shichibukai to join. The shichibukai in my opinion, are on Robin's level. If you take Moria, lost his crew in the NW, Robin lost her "family" at Ohara. The only difference between THEM and Luffy's crew in fact is 1)their attitude and 2)their alliance 3)their actions. And most importantly, these guys are still trying to be their own masters as it were.
Jinbei isn't past accepting help, he admits he needs WB alive, so this alone means he isn't his own master. The fact he is trying to save WB indicates he needs WB to be alive, something the other Shichibukai don't care about really, they want to do their own thing. Jinbei isn't his "own master" as it were and isn't independant. So out of all of the Shichibukai, at the very least he does have some conditions to joining, so depite what you guys are saying, I'm not about to be swayed away from him as a possibility.
This is a manga where anything can happen. In the end I might put this down to this; Jinbei will need a replacement for WB if WB dies... Only two canidates I see fit the role, Luffy being the obivous as he is trying to get to the Pirate top plus is willing to 'care' for others and Dragon (being a revolutionary) the second because he might not turn down the oppotunity for an alliance with FI. Obiviously there is no indicatin the latter is showing his face any time soon, let alone going to happen. If Jinbei joined or not, either way, if he felt Luffy had the best chance he'd support him in one shape or form to protect his people.
I myself still maintain as I did many posts back Jinbei might be another Vivi so thats where I stand, but I can't really accept the "it won't happen" argument. That much, I am not reading OP for. I'm reading OP because what isn't suppose to happen in their world, happens. I love the plot twists and turns. So on the grounds of it hasn't happened before, I won't accept that as a reason for him not joining, I'll accept all the others, but not this reason.
@Robby: I don't understand. If you say Heavy point can't fit through a door, then how can Franky himself? Their build seems similar.
But, otherwise, that is an amazing theory.
@AdmiralYonkouMt.Bandit:
Improved, this thread has not.
Helped, you're post didnt do. My young Padawan.
Lol about the captain isue.
Luffy = Captain
Usopp = Ex-Captain of the Ussopp pirates
Robin = a ex vice president of the Criminal Organisation: Baroque Works
Franky = a ex boss of an Underground Organisation: Franky Familly + being called the boss of the Underworld of Water 7
Brook = was called the second captain of the Rumba Pirates.
Sanji = Head chef, I think he was. Well he was just under Zeff
Zoro bit difficult. He also could be a boss, of his own.
Chopper was never a boss or something
Nami same as above. Unless you give her a high function in the Crew of Arlong.
Then we have Vivi who were a princess of a country (you like it or not she was a SH)
So the next nakama which everyone thinks are
All three of them being Ex Schichibukai (still thinking that Hancock is going to lose her status)
Crocodile was a former boss of Baroque Works. But only when he has a deep past which means he was transformed into a guy. Being a girl formally and maybe be turned into a girl for entering crew. He joins.
He can't join if he is a male.
Jimbei
Being more a nakama figure right now. Willing to give up his life. Being an ex captain of a crew. Yes he can join.
If not, we get a Fishman who is close with Jimbei and has connection with our great friend Fisher Tiger.
Hancock
Says enought, Pirate Empress and Snake Princess of an Nation. Has lower chances then Jimbei. But still a chance.
And yes, Perona also has a chance xD.
And err Robby about Jimbei not fitting into doors… lol, Franky just says, oh great we get an oversized SUPAAAAH fishman in the crew which can't go in the doors. I think I have to make the ship greater.
And after his adventure in Vegapunks lab. Who says he isn't planning to improve the ship?
His dream is to get his dreamship to Raftel = end of GL. But the ship has to be coated. Why can Franky say. I gonna improve this ship a bit?
I think he also made an extra room for Brook when he joined?
Addition to ^^^ Perona is a princess of negativity and she wears a crown on her head, much like a lot of the other Strawhats have something on their head. :P :D
Also, she was the leader of the animal zombies and is able to walk through doors! Now there's something you can hang up in a christmas tree. :D

There's no helping with posts like yours. Same shit being regurgitated.
I'm actually for this thread being locked until this arc is over.
The fact that you ppl seriously consider Crocodile a possible nakama makes it worse. It's just sad.
No more interesting/creative posts. Just ppl reserved to different groups rooting for characters that aren't going to join.

I thought the new Robby's post was pretty creative/amusing, and that example is so recent that it is on this page even.
If you hate the thread so much, why bother even looking at it? It's legitimate discussion that many people want to talk about. If this thread was locked, which it has no reason to be, the conversation would go to all the other threads and annoy you even more. Then you'd have to pointlessly bitch about it in a bunch of different places.
The Crocodile theory, as stupid as it is (and it is really stupid), and least has a thought process behind it by comparing him to Vegeta. While I think it's still crazy, it's better than anything I've heard for Perona's case (who has legitimate core story issues against her).

The fact that you ppl seriously consider Crocodile a possible nakama makes it worse. It's just sad.
Yeah, isn't it.
PERONA FOR NAKAMA!
SaveAceArc <or whatever="" you're="" calling="" it="">as intresting as it is and as wonderful the new characters are, i strongly doubt any of them will join, it doens't seem like an arc for people to join in, lke Skypedia arc didn't have new nakama.
Hancock can't for her Shubukai
Frododile as muh as everyoen likes him I jsut couldn't see him drinking up beer and partying with the crew… He'd sooner try to kil them... And we all saw how angry Monkey got hen seeing him because of Vivi.
Iva would probablly go back to revolutionary-ing
Mr. 1 is loal to Frododile alone.
Potgas is too loyalto Whitbeard, no matter what he'll go on Whitebeard's path.
And anyway on the Frododile theory, it's likely he's goign to find a way to betray Monkey and get back into the Shibukai with Flamingo's help.
<Yes I 'nick'name the characers diffrently></or>
The Sea, how long ago did Oda say that there "wouldn't be any relationships"? If it was a long time ago, he might have changed his mind in that time.
Besides, who said it would be a mutual relationship? Hancock is in love with Luffy, but he's completely oblivious; I could see that staying that way for a while, at least until Luffy matured a bit.
@AdmiralYonkouMt.Bandit:
There's no helping with posts like yours. Same shit being regurgitated.
I'm actually for this thread being locked until this arc is over.
The fact that you ppl seriously consider Crocodile a possible nakama makes it worse. It's just sad.
No more interesting/creative posts. Just ppl reserved to different groups rooting for characters that aren't going to join.
Hear hear. Not for the lock, but seriously? Croc? I was against the theory of even Jinbei. Hancock could join, I guess Perona could too, but I'm not saying anyone will. At this point in the manga I just want to sit back and watch. It's been a great arc, but I'm DYING for the other crew members.
And wouldn't getting them back be enough? Why should Luffy want to recruit more members at this point?

Oda said it back then, and he said it again.
@Interview:
When you’re drawing are there any rules for yourself with respect to things you absolutely will not do?
I like to draw party scenes. So I don’t want to draw anything that would ruin that atmosphere. And this is a manga for boys so I won’t draw anything about relationships. I get a lot of letters from female readers asking me to cover some kind of relationship but if that’s what you want to read, go read a girl’s manga, that’s not my job. I don’t care if someone falls for Luffy, but it’s something that would be over before you know it. But knowing Luffy, I don’t think that kind of thing would be a problem. (laughs)

Hmmmm seems like a hint that Oda doesn't give a fuck about Hancock in regards to Luffy and her falling for him is just a joke to pass the time until crew reunites and Sanji is back to do his shtick. Therefore, she couldn't join and continue that bullshit but it's already integrated in her character so she won't join.

Weren't you the guy saying this thread is stupid because nobody will join and it's just regurgitating shit?
@RobbyBevard:
WHY JINBEI CANNOT JOIN THE CREW!!:
Wall of text
Nobody pay attention to that hack. Thats an imitator taking advantage of my current… demotion. You can tell Im the original by my join date. Anyway.
The doors on the Sunny are a fair point against Jimbei joining, but they DO have an aquarium below deck he coul stay in. ANd Franky does instant repairs and creates thigns with no trouble, like midair bridges. So I don't think carpentry is anything to hold against Jimbei, especially when he's gonna need a new dream after Whitebeard dies.
As for Hancock, I just can't see Oda taking her love for Luffy so lightly for the entire duration of the series, and in a very recent interview he reiterated no romance for Luffy. So obviously to resolve this, after the war they're going to go back to Amazon Lilly and have lots of offscreen loving, at which point Luffy can then go back to his crew (after turning 18.) Hancock will stay behind to raise Luffy's child, who we will see again at the end of the series. However, she will want an amazon on the crew (since we need another girl) so she'll send Marguerite to watch over Luffy.
So clearly. Jimbei and Marguerite will join the crew and Hancock will have Luffy's lovechild, and it'll all work out.

Who are you and why are you trying to convince people that I'm an imposter?
