The way I see it, the fruit will go to either Sabo or Burgess, but most likely the former. It just seems silly that Oda would pull the Sabo trump card now of all times only to have Burgess take the fruit from him. It would be a pretty triumphant moment for Sabo to inherit the fruit of his deceaded brother. Plus it would bring into question exactly what would happen to Burgess if Blackbeard caught wind that he failed his mission. He could either accept the news fine or he may go ballistic, and I'm interested in seeing how he handles that kind of failure within his own crew.

RE: Next Strawhat Crewmate (Vol. 6)
As much as I'd love to see a new crewmember after all this time having the same 9 Straw Hats, I honestly don't see it in the cards just yet. A lot of this arc is focusing on Law and Doflamingo, and for the most part whenever a character joins the crew they usually have a pretty significant role in whatever arc they're a part of. While we could easily get another Robin situation where the next crewmate comes totally out of left field, I feel like so much other stuff has happened in Dressrosa that it would kind of be a little overwhelming.
I do think Jimbei will join eventually though, most likely as the final member to cap off the Straw Hats. I think we'll get at least one more aside from him though. I'm not really sure what occupations would be left but I'm sure Oda would think of something.

Hey hey hey
How's it hangin everyone
I pretty much got into One Piece at the beginning of 2013 when I decided to watch through it and Dragon Ball at the same time. While Dragon Ball was definitely a lot of fun, I pretty much instantly fell in love with One Piece; I always had a fascination with the art style and after finally getting around to watching it I was basically hooked. For the most part I wanted to follow the dub up through Enies Lobby at the very least but it ended up being so good that I gave in before the fourth voyage was released and started watching the subs, and then I basically plowed through the rest of the series in about a month's time (insane, I know). While some important stuff was spoiled for me before I eventually got around to watching it (a certain someone's death in particular comes to mind) they didn't make those experiences any less impactful.
But in any case I've been all caught up with both the anime and the manga for about a few months, and after finding this forum I figured that I might as well join and talk about this series and other things with the rest of you guys.
