Because Luffy doesn't have an entire fleet of 5600 crewmen and 7 captains that were promised great things in the future.
Oh wait…
These fleet and captains you're mentioning are independent pirates. They're not always with Luffy, they're simply allies not members of the crew.
If they're called upon to fight as needed, they will simply fight the allies and bulk of the forces of the main enemy's crew. But the top dogs has to be taken care of by the SH themselves… in ideal cases.
Some long-term predictions: Vegapunk with Paw-Paw fruit for Nakama!!! Kaidou is gonna be killed by Blackbeard and get his strongest Zoan DF!!!
If we think that in the end each of the SH can fight against a captain of BB fleet, then we hardly need to think as someone as Weevil. Even Carrot is a better choice than him is we can think about it for example. She doesn't need to be 450 million bounty Warlord level to join.
It's too soon to know anything.
Exactly, so stop talking about Weevil.
My intent is just to mention Edward Weevil's name here, so maybe we can watch out for him too.
That's the complete opposite of what the thread is for.
We're trying to sniff out the next member(s), narrow our options down. Not expand them, especially not pointlessly.
This is like thinking that a good way to catch a murderer is to arrest the whole town.
As for why even I came up with him is purely based on good feeling.
I have a bad feeling about your good feeling.
I just considered that SH might want another monster in the team.
What does that even mean?
Here in normal land these Battledome terms don't really mean much, so what do you mean "monster".
And also, the likely next crewmate is Jimbei. Jimbei. A former Shichibukai.
If you think more muscle is needed….there you go.
And anyway, the Strawhats don't "want" more muscle. That's never going to be a crew position they seek out. Nor is it going to be a major factor for Oda.Recent big bads often have 4 top underlings.
When this thread isn't calling a common occurrence unique, it also loves to declare patterns that don't exist.
Such as Kaidou, a guy who has big bads under him called the "Three Calamities". And Doflamingo, a guy whose crew was as follows. And Big Mom's current lineup of three top guys.
So actually no, this irrelevant pattern doesn't exist.
But let's point out too that its irrelevant, because ….so what even if they did? There's only one crew that Oda is making mirror the Strawhats, and the number there is eleven.Story seems to find a way to reduce them to 3 but
So its three then. Right.
I think 4 is probably a non-spoken standard number in terms of top executives in the NW
Why would a bunch of unaffiliated vagabonds and bands of thieves on boats have a standardized number of anything.
Does Pirate Corporate pass down the "Best Practices" manual to all branch offices?So maybe monster trio is not gonna suffice from now, We might need 2 more monsters. MAYBE.
The recruiting of new members has never ever been based on this mind numbing combat junkie garbage.
Guys I think San Juan Wolf is good guy, he gun join, betray the BB pairats, he also big, discuss.
The next SH is Obito. He is the coolest guy.
I think Edward Weevil could be a possible candidate for next new nakama (after Jimbei). With luck, Luffy will encounter him soon. And after some stupid things, he could get along with Luffy. They are both idiots and have grudge with BB. The story needs to just separate him with his mother. He has Nekomamushi's build and probably antics too (I wish)! And SH could really use another powerful fighter.
How is it that even after such a long time, and story evidence, people still somehow get the impression that Luffy( And Oda) even give two shits about a character's power level in order for them to join? I mean come on it's 2016 ffs.
Wonder if we should make a thread for next grand fleet members instead of actual member. I also wonder if the minks will join after Wano…
Still someone want to bet that Jinbe won't break anything?

So your saying it would be better for the tension out of an arc should be taken away because there happens to be two people on the island able to take out the boss rather than Luffy being the only one? Luffy may not give a crap but Oda would be stupid to do so because it would make for bad writing. Also story evidence for how Oda doesn't care would be great!
Jinbei and Pekoms will Join during this arc. And Jinbei will have an eyepatch.
Pekoms being 330mln and now being shown to be "lower rank" than top 3 fighters in Big Mom crew, he could fit.
That and fact that Luffy was worried about him and… plenty other reasons I listed in previous posts.
Pekoms will Join during this arc.
No. He's still loyal to Big Mom. Bege is probably going to try double-crossing BM and any of Pekoms' questionable actions will be overlooked by her.

The story evidence is the entire manga.

There is no precedent for someone stronger than Luffy joining the crew so how is it the entire manga?

lol
You don't have any idea what you're trying to do here do you.
You're trying to assert some random concept that has no reason to be expected, and then asking for evidence that it wouldn't happened.
That makes no goddamn sense.
People are asking YOU for a reason to think this would happened based on the manga.
This conversation is going on for no reason. To keep it short Luffy (or Oda) doesn't ask /have anyone to join his crew because they need strong people. If you think the only reason somebody like Weevil should join the crew is because he's strong you're thinking way too hard about the fights and not about his role on the crew.
I don't think that Luffy will ask Weevil to join the crew if he is killing all the Whitebeard pirates. I strongly believe that the new pirate will be Carrot, but IF someone whith a connection with WB is going to join Strawhats, it would be Marco.
And Jinbei will have an eyepatch.
there is nothing such as taking off an eye there http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/830/10
but something like "being the King" which probably also means having babies with her. because you know, we still don't know what this means http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/552075onepiece7723243.jpg

Weevil will join the alliance somehow. Believe me.

Zoro was much more famous than Luffy when he joined, and when Robin joined her bounty was nearly triple Luffy's.
On the opposite end, Usopp is weak as all get out and that wasn't a factor at all in his joining. Brook was asked to join on the spot, long before he had any actual showing of fighting capabilities, backstory or bounty.
Zoro and Luffy have never had a decisive fight beyond "they're basically equal", same with Zoro and Sanji. The crew pretty much concedes that post gears and Haki Luffy is the toughest, and its in Luffy's personality and desire to go against the top bad, but other than that? On Fishman Island Luffy and Jinbe had a qick exchange to show they were about equal, with Sanji in the middle. They don't care. (And subtlety that was lost int he Viz translation then is Jinbe switched from "Luffy-kun" to "Luffy-san" after that.)
Luffy was fine with Sabo taking his place at the tournament. And he was fine with tag teaming wit Law against Dofla. And he was cool with letting Crocodile and jinbe out of prison to help him out.
The Supernovas are generally treated equally. Luff, Kidd and Law at the top maybe, but they're in general treated as a whole group of equals, regardless of feats or bounties.
Toss in time and time again how we've seen a weaker character overcome a stronger one through wits or trickery. Like the time Perona instantly destroyed the entire crew except for Usopp.
Strength doesn't matter to Luffy. And it doesn't matter to Oda. He toyed with power levels ever so briefly among the CP9, and then immediately dropped it and never brought it up again… and in fact made it immediately irrelevant by giving two members new devil fruits right after that.
If Oda cares at all, it's to the degree that he held off Jinbe's joining until he had a chance to inflate everyone else's bounties a bit, and to not have three warlords in the same fight on Dresserossa.
(And subtlety that was lost int he Viz translation then is Jinbe switched from "Luffy-kun" to "Luffy-san" after that.)
wow,never noticed that.that's a cool little detail.but also i think unexpected for jinbei.never thought he was the kind of guy who priorotizes his respect based on strength.though i guess as a pirate and a fighter,strength does play a role in how he treats people
and yeah,not only is it not supremely important that every crew member is weaker than luffy,it is nowhere implied even indirectly that jinbei is stronger than luffy.
and bounties don't mean anything to crew members joining.
Zoro was much more famous than Luffy when he joined, and when Robin joined her bounty was nearly triple Luffy's.

You mean as Franky's and Luffy's exchanve at Water 7? Do not get me wrong Roby but…
I look at it even more different That little fight has done nothing for me proving that Jinbe is close to Luffy... And seeing Luffy currently and even at Fishmen Island showed me that at least Luffy was right above Jinbe even at that time. Jinbe's reaction after seeing Luffy's growth was telling as well.
Hell even Sanji, weakerst M3 member, was teamed up with Jinbe to let they seem equal AT THAT TIME.
That's why I have no doubts that now with Jinbe joining soon we will have it more "clear" that at least the M3 is above him and still has "more" room to grow.
What I feel is that someone possibly being stronger than Luffy isn't a huge deal. He's not like most captains - he's young, half of the crew is around his age, everyone addresses him by name, and no matter what kind of insane or dangerous thing he does, they always follow his command.
Jinbei respects him a ton, so even if the two were equal….shrug
Jinbe fought with Sanji in order to ease the tension between the two. Sanji was the only Straw Hat who had severe issues with Jinbe, even after he explained himself in the flashback.
Their relationship had to go from "If you are sorry then cut your damn belly open Jinbe!!!" to "ey bro, don't corner people going on about duty and join us" by the end of the arc, and letting them battle together achieved that.

Perhaps if you hit 10 next to head icon you loose an eye and 100 would mean head. There is no telling yet, I am guessing really. My guess is mostly based on Oda saying there will be character with an eye patch at end of One Piece.
So your saying it would be better for the tension out of an arc should be taken away because there happens to be two people on the island able to take out the boss rather than Luffy being the only one? Luffy may not give a crap but Oda would be stupid to do so because it would make for bad writing. Also story evidence for how Oda doesn't care would be great!
Read the manga called One Piece. It will definitely educate you on how Oda works as a writer.
Luffy asked Brook to join before he even saw him fight. Is Luffy doesn't ask people to join because he thinks they're strong he does because he thinks they're cool. XD
If Oda cares at all, it's to the degree that he held off Jinbe's joining until he had a chance to inflate everyone else's bounties a bit, and to not have three warlords in the same fight on Dresserossa.
I see what you are saying but I'm not trying to argue whether Luffy cares or not because he doesn't. But I do think that Oda cares to some point like you said. Luffy has met some powerful people and the only person that I could say with almost 100% belief that he asked to join was stronger than him is Jinbei and then there was something to delay him from joining then he pops back up when it is at least believable that he is stronger than Jinbei. I understand that it made sense to Jibei's character but I still think that if Oda really had wanted to he could have made it fit.
I agree with your comment but I think it also had to do somewhat with the overall strength of the crew. Yonkos look like they have 3 subordinates (i know there were 4 sweet commanders but now there is only 3) so while Luffy takes on the bad guy you have Jinebi Sanji and Zoro take out the rest. I doubt it will be that straightforward but at the time of Luffy's request the SH weren't going up against people where that extra strength was needed and Oda would have had to either add characters that are noteworthy or beef someone up or incapacitate one or the other somehow. It would just make his job that much more complicated. I mean imagine if some like Jinbei was on Dressrosa? Who could stop him if Doffy was occupied and Fuji made the same gamble. If you put him with the Swirly brows there would have been less drama about the Big Mom ship. It was just easier to wait instead of write someone that strong into the story. So he let an arc go by before he put in someone that strong so that the level of the crew and the level of the enemy are still in balance. Does that not make sense?

Robby isn't talking about strength so much as stature there.
Yonkos look like they have 3 subordinates
Blackbeard has 11 main subordinates so no.

The author, by not creating that character. Boy that was easy. Maybe next time don't talk like the series is a real place the author has to react to lol.
If you put him with the Swirly brows there would have been less drama about the Big Mom ship.
Oh no! An author's worst nightmare! Drama!

You just said it. It makes sense for Jinbe's character.
That aside, it also mixes up the formula and surprises readers. We were all primed for him to join at the end of FI. And he didn't. Oda delayed that gratification for a while and built it into the story in a meaningful way.
It wasn't just about holding the bounties off, he could have easily inflated them 50 mill each right after Sabondy without a problem, with them getting news of their new bounties right after. There was some status involed, some waiting for the rest of the crew to show their own merits before adding someone else that famous into the group… but again, Robin was by far more infamous with a much higher bounty when she first joined, and that wasn't an issue then either.

And Oda could have easily added a fourth. He's balancing the ranks against what's there. Jinbe has the built in handicap of "Not nearly as strong on land as on water" working for him in every situation. But having extra strong characters around isn't an issue. Dresserossa had like a dozen bonus allies all of similar strength to the crew, some of which got full blown fights like Bart and Kyros and the entire colloseum… including a powerhouse in Burgess, and Sabo who is arguably stronger than anyone there once he got his fruit.... and Oda still rotated them and set it up to make it work, even giving some of them flashbacks. Even Fujitora who you point out, was simply set up in a way that he wouldn't get in the way of the main battles... and was given a giant cage to help deal with.
It's not about having too many strong guys in one place. Hell, look at the war which collected every character in the series pretty much in one place.
Oda may not have wanted two warlords helping take down the last warlord, but just as likely he wanted to keep it personal for Law and wanted to keep Jinbe's story set aside to logically bridge into this current arc, just like all the other Fishman Island setup for it. Oda probably misjudged the pacing of Dresserossa a bit and didn't expect it to go quite as long and thought we'd be here a little sooner,(Judging by coverstories and retconning the time the tea party was supposed to happen) but other than that? Nah.
If only there was already a big character who is strong, has affiliation with the 7 Warlords, and had ties to Whitebeard
! Jinbe
Robin was by far more infamous with a much higher bounty when she first joined, and that wasn't an issue then either.
To be fair, Luffy got the 100 million bounty like 5 chapters before Robin joined. Not that it matters since Luffy has already surpassed Jinbe's 400 mill.
Robin joined in 217. Luffy's new bounty was actually revealed the same chapter. But Luffy, and the rest of the world, didn't find out about the increase until chapter 232 after Jaya was done.
it didn't matter to Luffy that Robin was more famous or potentially stronger than him. And considering Oda had given Robin that high bounty that she'd had for almost two years in real time, (plus they had indicated that Robin got her bounty in one go and when she was 8.) power level and reputation meant nothing to the crew or the story.
As usual.
Luffy never cared about someone's strenght when he invited him/her. Hell, he even asked Gaimon to join, the guy stuck in a treasure chest for 20 years.
As for Oda, his tendency when introducing new crew members has always been to create characters who have a fine degree of specialized skills, with good potentiality for the future, but far from monstrous. I don't see Weevil join, especially after what he has done to many pirate crews under WB, to whom Luffy owns a great debt.
Pauly CONFIRMED for next crewmate!

Thats true the only person he wanted for strength was Zoro otherwise he didn't care he thought the rest of the members were cool. Expecting Jimbei to join. Wait a second if Jimbei joins that would out the crew at a total of 10 right what about Vivi isn't she technically a member still ?
Vivi is like a close friend of the crew, but not a pirate. She is the princess of Arabasta, and she has some obligations in the kingdom.

Vivi is honorary member, not an official. She doesn't count towards the final # of Strawhats now. There are too many factors in the way for her to be a pirate, her duty to Arabasta being the biggest.
As usual.

Michael Jackson's zombie for new member!
The only people Luffy chose to invite to his crew for their skills was:
Zoro (for his strength)
Nami (for her navigation skills)
Sanji (to have a cook so the crew never goes hungry at sea)
Franky (for maintenance inside and outside the Sunny)
Brook (because Luffy really wanted a musician in the crew)
Usopp joined because Luffy, Zoro and Nami already saw him as friends before, during and after the battle against Kuro and thought he would tag along. Luffy invited Chopper because he's a walking, talking tanuki reindeer with seven forms. It wasn't until after they joined that Luffy realized Usopp's skill as a sniper and Chopper's as a doctor.
Robin is a different story however. She saved Luffy twice (from being buried alive and from the poison) and he saved her along with Cobra after he beat Croc, even though she was willing to give up on her dreams and die. She was fascinated by Luffy, and was willing to join his crew and Luffy didn't mind.
The face of a Straw Hat.

Yeah good point honorary member sounds a lot better for her. Interesting enough I found this as one of the covers 
Notice the kid on the bottom right with the '10' even though Jimbei joining is obvious just wanted to point this out.

Folks who read One Piece… Just better people. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Must be pretty hard for you Jinbe fans out there. Despite all the evidence and at this point admittance that he will join, people still deny it for some reason. I could understand before Fishman Island, but at this point Oda can only hit people over the head so much before he gives someone a concussion.

None of them actually joined because of their skills though, their skills being useful to the crew and ship was a consequence of them joining really, not a prerequisite, from a meta level maybe but not from an in-story perspective.

They didn't learn Brook was a musician until later. Luffy actually invited him to join because he can poop.

If they hadn't found the right person when they did in those cases, they would have been more actively searching at those points once the need was clear, particularly after Nami almost died due to lack of doctor. Though Franky is the only case they were absolutely looking to fill a position beforehand and were hell bent on getting a shipright and weren't leaving water 7 without one,
The others positions they sort of lucked into finding the right person around when it became obvious they needed one.

Didn't Usopp say that he had 8,000 warriors or something? Is that where you got that number because all of his 'lies' become truth?

Pretty much. But it's important to note that the Grand Fleet as a whole only amounts to 5,640 members. The reason why it's around 5,600 is because Oda likes making a pun on how Gomu Gomu in Japanese sounds like pronouncing 5, 6. Since we're still gaining allies like the Minks, I have no doubt that it will become 8,000 by the final war.

I think it would be even better if he himself had 8,000 under his specific fleet. So that he was in charge of them. I did see the pun i there cuz he likes to do that a lot its funny how he throws stuff in there. Makes it seem like nothing is random.
