This article contains spoilers for the Final Saga of One Piece.

Summary

  • Every new character is theorized to join the Straw Hats.
  • The current crew already has a strong dynamic.
  • Vivi is believed by many fans to be the final Straw Hat.

One of the standout features of One Piece has been its gradual unveiling of the Straw Hat Pirates. Unlike other series, where the main crew is presented at the start, Eiichiro Oda prefers to introduce new members at a leisurely pace, making each addition seem organic and fitting within the narrative. This method of character introduction often sparks speculation among fans as they try to guess which characters might join the Straw Hat Pirates. These predictions frequently find their way onto the internet and various social media platforms.

In the contemporary era of the One Piece series, certain members of the fanbase are growing tired of recurring introductions of potential new crewmates, as they anticipate each one to become the next Straw Hat. For some fans, it seems that every fresh character is a contender for

Fans Have Been Trying To Guess The Next Straw Hat Ever Since Jinbe Officially Joined

From Yamato To Bonney Many Characters Were Potential Candidates

Initially in the series, Luffy expressed his desire to have ten crew members excluding himself, stating this would create an ideal team. Currently, with Jinbe joining on Whole Cake Island, there are nine additional Straw Hat Pirates besides Luffy, leaving one member short of his goal. Yet, it’s possible that Luffy merely guessed when he specified ten, so the series could end with more or even fewer members than initially planned.

Oh just shut up and come with us already! – Luffy to Chopper

Over the past few arcs in One Piece, particularly Wano, fans have been eagerly speculating that a new character might join Luffy’s crew soon. Among the popular theories during Wano, some believed Yamato would join, while others thought X Drake could be a possibility. However, neither of these predictions came to pass, and the speculation shifted to Egghead, with Kuma and Bonney being suggested as potential new crew members. But now, since the Straw Hats have arrived on Elbaf, fans are excitedly discussing that either Loki or Gunko might become the next addition to the crew.

Fan Speculation For The Final Straw Hat Has Gone Overboard

Every New Character Is A Potential Straw Hat At This Point

  • Every New Character Is Theorized To Join The Straw Hats
  • The Straw Hats Already Have A Strong Dynamic

To put it simply, I’m always thrilled to ponder which characters might join Luffy’s Straw Hat Pirates in the world of One Piece, but considering where we are in the story right now, it seems like we might be reaching a bit too far. Each character that’s been introduced thus far has felt like a significant addition to the narrative tapestry. Yet, many of the characters fans are eagerly anticipating joining the Straw Hats seem less than ideal additions, given their current story arcs and character traits. Even someone like Yamato, who seemed like she could blend well with the crew personality-wise, has commitments, such as defending Wano, that wouldn’t mesh well with being a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. So, while it’s fun to imagine, it seems we need to give these characters more time and development before they can realistically join our beloved pirate crew.

Furthermore, many fans of One Piece are convinced that the Straw Hat Crew’s current harmony is flawless. Introducing a new character at this stage, particularly a significant figure like God’s Knight Gunko or Loki who have only recently entered the narrative, could pose challenges in developing meaningful relationships within the group during the ongoing Final Saga.

The Final Straw Hat Already Exists

For Many Fans Vivi Will Be The Final Straw Hat

It’s widely believed among fans that if anyone were to join the Straw Hat Crew as its final member, it wouldn’t be a fresh character like Loki, Yamato, or Gunko. Instead, it would likely be Vivi, who is already considered an honorary member. Unlike most new characters, Vivi has strong connections with several members of the Straw Hats and fits well within the crew’s dynamic.

But if there is one day where we meet each other again… will you take me as a friend? – Vivi

In conclusion, while Vivi could be an excellent final addition to the Straw Hat crew, there’s a possibility that no more members will join. It appears equally plausible that the current crew composition will persist until the end of One Piece. However, if someone does become a part of the team, let’s hope they blend seamlessly like all previous newcomers have done.
