Everyone has been talking about and discussing possible new crew members, especially before the Dressrosa arc ended. But, since none of them joined the Strawhats (but became their allies), everyone is convinced that a new crew member is coming after Zou or the arc after. Surely we haven’t had anyone join in a long time. The last member Brook joined in the Thriller Bark arc and after that no one officially joined. Luffy made a lot of friends and they reunited after the timeskip. Later, Luffy asked Jinbei to join, but he is still not officially a Strawhat. And then he made an alliance with the Heart Pirates, but that is an alliance, Law is not a Strawhat. Also, Kin’emon, Momonosuke, Kanjuro and Caesar also aren’t Strawhats, even though they are traveling together.
With the new arc, there are some possible candidates, especially since they are Minks, but I believe that the one to join will be Caesar Clown. Here are the reasons why:
Oda also said next Strawhat would be an old enemy in the Jump Fiesta interview.
- He has nowhere to go or to be safe. He has nobody who trusts him, and all the Yonko are after him and his weapons/chemicals. Can’t become ally member
- Caesar has a dream, much like the other Strawhats. He wants to surpass Vegapunk and become the best scientist. This is why he harms people carelessly
- He was an enemy, like Robin, Nami, Franky. Doubted them initially, but it reinforces how much we like them
- He sort of fits in, and has shown a variety of other emotions aside from just being a psychopath
- Strawhats do not have a scientist or logia yet (this is not the same as Chopper’s medical skills or Franky’s inventions, so don’t confuse them)
- Caesar is a representation of Vegapunk (Luffy=Roger, Chopper=Hiluluk and Crocus, Sanji=Zeff, Usopp=Yasopp, Zoro=Mihawk, Franky=Tom)
- Caesar connects everyone else’s abilites (missing piece to a puzzle):
– Help Chopper with medication (with chemicals and drugs)
– Help Franky by replacing cola (Or can help make cola through sugar chemical) and can provide Franky with information on Vegapunk and his inventions
– Help Usopp make pesticides and growth of hormones for plants
– Provide flames and gas for Sanji’s cooking
– Something stupid for Luffy, like fireworks or cooking meat with flames - Very powerful (Top 5 in Strawhats). He has poison, flames, air, many other elements other logias are limited to
- Potential interest in Ancient Weapons and how they work, since he creates his own weapons
- Foreshadowing: Goat symbol of the Strawhats (Chinese Zodiac signs)
- Knows the secrets of SMILEs and Shinokuni/gas weapons. Stopped gas on Zou
If you are still mad about his evil acts, here’s how he can redeem himself:
If you supported Monet, then you should by default support Caesar because she was evil as well. He seems to have changed a lot since he started traveling with the Strawhats. Luffy and the Strawhats have brought him humility, like with Big Mom, so now he is beginning to know human emotions and fear. Since his dream is to become the best scientist, he was doing it in a bad way due to bad influences (Doflamingo).
Similar to other Strawhats:
- Zoro cut down people for their bounties
- Robin betrayed many people and didn’t care if people died as long as she learned about history
- Nami stole from people to help her village
- Franky stole fortune from Luffy and beat up Usopp to build his dream ship
Ultimately Luffy saved them and gave them a better way to achieve their dreams, like he will do with Caesar. Caesar never got a flashback, so he can have a very sad past that justifies his initial crazy nature. He will achieve his dream just like the rest of the strawhats by becoming best scientist, stopping his chemical weapons, and learning about ancient technology.
All rights go to the maker of this theory.
