@omy785:
Maybe it's true that we aren't patient. However we were patient enough with Perona, Margaret, Kayme, Shiraoshi, Monet, Barto, Bellamy, Leo, Rebecca and so on…if you know what I mean
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
I don't think there's any doubt about it
Yes people have been burned before. I get it. I was on the Leo then Kyros hype train. Besides we have hindsight with these examples to learn from. Only 1 nakama has joined in whatever arc a nakama has joined. The next nakama prediction will be better than the last because it will be more thought out.
I was thinking Leo because he was a unique race, strongest among his race, and potentially very useful Devil Fruit(Surgeon, Sailmaker, Tailor, etc…). His name though also matches with a noncanon character. It also breaks the name theory if you believe it in any capacity. And he is just too small to be the main crew. So at least he is a Division Commander in the Strawhat Grand Fleet.
Kyros had it all except a crew position and a bigger dream beyond Dressrosa. He was the Wiper of Dressrosa. Rebecca held him back...how I see it anyways.
Perona would have been at the same time as Brook with same horror theme. And Zoro isn't recruiting. Brook>Perona
Marguerite was different but Jinbe pretty much took "nakama that gets recruited while separated from others" role. Wasn't among strongest of Kuja clan. Jinbe>Marguerite
Keimi was in Jinbe's territory of joining. Weak. Jinbe>Keimi
Shirahoshi...a crybaby and she can't even be on the ship. A princess.
Rebecca...just a crybaby with a useless fighting style. Nami clone. A princess.
Mansherry...healing that could hurt her. Too small. A princess
Viola...Devil Fruit powers too hax for Lookout. Robin clone. A princess.
Monet is dead...or not. But she is evil. And will be back...probably.
Caesar is irredeemable.
Bellamy never fit. His powers and Luffy's are too similar.
Bartolomeo was unique but he is like a representation of some One Piece fans. A troll. Shtick would get old unless regulated. In the end he is a Division Commander of the Strawhat Grand Fleet.
Law will remain captain of his own crew. Strawhats already have doctor.
So patience is key. And new nakama will be one of the strongest and/or have an elite skill. A NEED should also arise soon. Example: Maybe the need is to SNEAK into the Tea Party? A new nakama is coming. Oda alluded to it. So someone you have seen/heard of or will see VERY soon will be the next nakama. They need to develop though soon. Yonko fights are in the horizon. No new nakama should miss a Yonko fight.
