Maybe the kid with the pacifier sent you back… if so then welcome to the living
Dr. Blackbeard had an encounter with Ace before. The news of Ace's death will certainley affect the man, and he'll grieve, and then meet up with Luffy, who is also mourning for Ace.
Plus, the symbolism of having a Blackbeard on the Strawhats team, when they eventually fight the Blackbeard pirates… is too great to pass up.

Welcome back you mean.:ninja:
Anyways, I stand by my poll choice. But I kinda want the next crewmate to be someone totally new. More fun that way.

Hmmm… I want Devon as 9th Straw Hat.

Oh, I get it now. Arihiko really does resemble Kuwabara. Thanks! =D
With all the huge guys BB has, it doesn't seem THAT unlikely now that a giant relatively large human could join SH
Eh, what are all the cons against Perona joining…?
Dr. Black Beard for the next nakama! Think of all that he could contribute to the group dynamic!
I mean actual things, I need actual things rather than sarcasm. Type 'em up for me, please…
You know I really would like to know the end of that sentence… whoever stopped you is now my nemesis
C'mon! He is dead and his name starts from A~ :ninja:

whats about a cute mermaid who will join…thought that would be the most likely choice...
all about a ghosty girl and a doktor who got kicked by ace:getlost:
weird weird
I mean actual things, I need actual things rather than sarcasm. Type 'em up for me, please…
Is it ok if we type them in the past and make you search for them instead…?
Most importantly, Jinbei and Hancock are the better candidates. Why can't they join? NO SARCASM, BLUENO!
Oh don't you dare try to wake up the monster!!
What do you know, The fish took the bait…..:devil:

Absolutely, both joining would be amazing.
Jinbei's good trait is the strength he has, he is a fishman, unique design, and not too over powered.
Hancock's traits is her design, she can teach the crew to use haki (like training Luffy to control his, Zoro to imbue it into his swords, Sanji his legs, and Sogeking's bullits), she can fit inside the boat, and could fit arguably better with the crew personality wise
In my opinion, the best candidates are indeed Hancock and Jimbei. I place Hancock higher, but I guess that's just a matter of taste. Both have been an incredible aid to Luffy, both are loyal, powerful and would add something cool to the story. I wouldn't mind both joining, but that seems unlikely. Not only we never had more than one character joining at once, but Blackbeard's crew has 10 people including captain (and excluding horse), so I don't think both will join.
(However, Luffy did want to recruit ten people… so anything is possible, even if unlikely. And who can say if Blackbeard will not recruit more people later?).
Between the two Shichibukai, I'd prefer Hancock. Her personality is amusing, while Jimbei has been somewhat bland (honor, loyalty, desire to die fighting... and that's all). I think most of his supporters are amazed at his fighting skills, and so am I, but so far I can't imagine how he would interact with the rest of the crew. Maybe there's more to him than honor and debts and guilt, but who knows?
Also, the reason so many people point that Hancock can't join, that she must protect her island, is a reason I don't see Jimbei joining. He wants to protect Fishman Island, and now that Whitebeard is (probably) going to die, I think he will feel the need to protect his people. I can see Jimbei staying with Luffy through Fishman Island. But can he go with the crew after that? I don't know.
As for Hancock, I've made clear several times why I'm cheering for her. While her power is somewhat cheesy, I'd like to see a kickass female in the crew. Her personality would clash with many other characters in different ways, and while Jimbei is friendly and loyal to Luffy, Hancock is actually willing to follow him.
Also, while Jimbei may see the need to protect Fishman Island himself, maybe the best way Hancock can protect Amazon Lily is by staying far away from it. Her betrayal, once (and if) found, will put her in danger, but Amazon Lily without her may not be a big target to the government.
I think we will only find the true next crewmember much later. I have a feeling Oda will drag this for some time, maybe until Fishman Island wraps. Until there, the odds for both Shichibukai will revolve constantly.
If you want to post links and such, that's fine… If it's anything old from the past thread, I already know about those... I mean to ask if there's any more...
I got the following:
--no past
--no dream
--no risking life
--no sexy appearance
--no way out of the island she's on
--wants moria
--loves things that aren't on the sunny
--will die
--is weaker than usopp
--people hate her
--she's boring to some
--she's annoying to some
--horo horo horo horo
--horo horo no mi is too overpowering
--horo horo no mi sucks
--no position
--she's a commander of zombies.
--she's fugly
--she's not in this arc
--she's into slaves
--she's planning on stealing from the sh crew.
--she's going to zombie zoro
--she's going to only train zoro
--she's fodder
--she's never met luffy
--she's never fought a boss with the group
--her lips
--her eyes
--she whines a lot
--etc.
Are there any important ones that I am missing?

I wholeheartedly agree.
Hancock joining has been pretty shaky from the start. Last chapter was the final nail in the coffin against her joining in my opinion. I'd love it if she did but I just can't see it happening.
Also, the reason so many people point that Hancock can't join, that she must protect her island, is a reason I don't see Jimbei joining. He wants to protect Fishman Island, and now that Whitebeard is (probably) going to die, I think he will feel the need to protect his people.

The big difference is that Hancock protects her island simply by existing. Jinbei can only protect his island by fighting.

Quit ignoring my question and trying to derail the topic, Blueno.

Oh bother. Sorry, Urouge.
Most importantly, Jinbei and Hancock are the better candidates. Why can't they join? NO SARCASM, BLUENO!
Reasons against Hancock:
–Oda says no romance.
--AL is dead.
--She's totally unsupported by plot.
--She's better left at AL.
--I'm basically bored of this already... I can't even bother to post this... There's far too many of them.
Jinbei:
--This is based upon his size.
--Other than that, he's bound to be stuck at FI, if he isn't then he may join.
--If he dies, that's another one...
I'm just assuming Jinbei wants to die already... So, I hope Oda will give him his wish and he would stop screaming it all the time.
The big difference is that Hancock protects her island simply by existing. Jinbei can only protect his island by fighting.
Also, the problem with Fishman Island is that the main offenders are not marines, but pirates and slavers. After the war, you can bet they'll be stronger and in larger numbers.
Now, the only thing threatening Amazon Lily is the marines. The same ones who are losing their headquarters and a lot of their Calm Belt-travelling Warships. The marines will be weakened (a lot) after the war.
And while I think Blackbeard will fight Whitebeard, I'm anticipating him saying to his crew something like "From now on, let's be rampaging punks!" and let them loose on Marine Headquarters. I wouldn't doubt that DoFlamingo would love to see it happening (and may even help).

That was a convincing argument for the recruitment of Shichibukai candidates.
I would go a step further and say, with the way things are, Jinbei is definitely not coming on board. He might be a staunch ally, but he will be protecting Fisherman's Island and become part of the Fisherman Island arc.
I don't know. Do you guys think a Shichibukai is going to join the Strawhats? Don't you think that would be a little too much for them? I mean sure Jimbei and Hancock are good characters…well, Jimbei's a good character, but it's not like they could fill any position that the crew needs. And why would they want to travel the Grand Line, anyway. They're Shichibukais, I'm sure they've already traveled the Grand Line, they wouldn't need to do it with Luffy and his crew.
EDIT:
@Decide:

Robin?
Reasons against Hancock:
–I'm basically bored of this already... I can't even bother to post this... There's far too many of them.
That's a horrible reason!
Jinbei:
–This is based upon his size.
Didn't I say no sarcasm?

So he might join? Excellent.
–If he dies, that's another one...
Didn't I say no sarcasm?
Also, the problem with Fishman Island is that the main offenders are not marines, but pirates and slavers. After the war, you can bet they'll be stronger and in larger numbers.
Yeah, but a lot will happen in that arc. It's impossible to guess what the outcome will be, but it's safe to say that the situation will be a whole lot different when they leave than when they arrive.
Now, the only thing threatening Amazon Lily is the marines. The same ones who are losing their headquarters and a lot of their Calm Belt-travelling Warships. The marines will be weakened (a lot) after the war.
The problem is that even if they're weakened and can't attack right away, the threat of them attacking eventually will still loom large. There'd be a tinge of a bad taste about that with them losing Hancock's diplomatic protection followed by her taking off. I can't recall Oda ever tying things up with a style like that.
I can imagine some ways for the issue to be resolved, but I'd say that it has to be completely and totally resolved first (which aint easy, but possible).
Hancock for Cabin Girl of the Strawhats.

…Ivankov and Inazuma for nakama. :ninja:
Just kidding. But they'll probably travel with Luffy for a bit, at least until they get Sanji from that island. In which case, I would demand an okama for na-Oh! Sanji is an okama now, right? o3o I almost forgot…:ninja:

Shichibukai didn't become shichibukai by being the most powerful pirates. They are powerful and influential, but only to the point that the World Government is still strong enough to quell them and control them.
On Thriller Bark, Moria mentioned how Kaidou, a Yonkou in New World basically wiped out Moria's crew. Yonkou are much stronger than the Shichibukai, at least powerful enough to stand alone against the World Government and the other 3 Yonkou. The world government's resources are strained simply fighting against a single Yonkou - Whitebeard.
The Shichibukai are mostly active pirates on the current half of the Grand Line. They are no doubt powerful enough to sail into the New World, but definitely not at the level to stand on their own to rival Yonkou.
Remember, Ace was considered strong enough for Shichibukai. He is a mere division captain of a Yonkou in the new world. These division captains are perfectly capable of taking down vice admirals.
Luffy's crew, as with all the crews of the Supernovas that made it thus far in the Grand Line. Their captains all shown similar level power when fighting the Pacifista series. We can thus say, they are on par with Luffy. Luffy is without argument, at the level of Shichibukai, having narrowly defeating two.
Throughout the last few arcs, we are being told of the strength of the pirates that are in the New World, from Wano Country samurai, to the revelation of the Yonkou, to the fact that starting in New World requiring one to have Shichibukai level abilities.
While having a Shichibukai before going into the New World would be ridiculous considering how powerful they are in this half of the Grand Line, having one as a crew member in the New World would be very plausible.
perona -could- join , when oda would have a fatal disease and AGOG would be the first to be asked, if he wants to write OP to an end…
