Unintroduced character because first of all we can rule out the likes like Sabo, that kind of characters are like special NPC that they will never join the crew; secondly, the new crew member always comes with overwhelming amount of back story that most the SH crew needs to be highly touched and most importantly the new crew member has to spend alot of time fight along with SH members/or the SH crew fight in the interest of the new member.
So far the only exception from what I said above is Robin but that's because her ability of reading history stone is too critical and she does have a huge back story and she fought along with the crew for quite a period of time (think of that she had a 'trial' period with them but then she was forced to leave the team (temporary) because she loves the crew T_T such a good arc).

plus i could see Luffy giving the fruit to anyone he accepts, he doesnt want someone to do evil with Aces fruit

Omg Enies Lobby arc T_T .. luffy and the crew was so awesome at that time .. to challenge the entire world just to save one women.. that's to much badass
i mean it would be normal for shounen shows but the execution and the emotions of that arc was too good.
Rebecca == very fast(new fighting style), dark past and she is given too much focus in the episodes. Again guys possible 10th nakama xD

I can see Violet having a several possible motive for wanting to join the Strawhats:
After living as a pirate for 10 years, going back to being the heir to the throne of Dressrosa would bring dishonour to he family and bloodline. This combined with a sense of guilt over serving the Doflamingo Family while rebecca trained and fought to overthrow DD could cause her to forfeit her position as first in line for the throne to Rebecca, adpot her "Violet" persona completley and let the rest of the world believe that princess Viola died back when Doflamingo took the country, to embrace the pirate life amongst the kind hearted Strawhats.

Remember the Kuma's theory about his DF, being the only DF "numbers" absent from the strawhat crew. When a guy asked Oda about that, he answered "no comment", so i'm pretty sure there's something fishy in there.
|
SH crew obviously going to save Kuma.
Franky will change him to normal. Vegapunk is Franky's final boss.
|
Out of Violet and Rebecca I would take Rebecca because it would be cool for the SH to have a front line fighter that is female.
|
Viola doesn't look anything like Robin lol;
Jimbei for 10th.
um
|
Isn't there gonna be 2 more strawhats? If Luffy takes BB then there are 10 more of BBs crew but only 8 of the Strawhats(9 if jinbei makes it that far) or am i forgetting someone/thing?
|
There are currently 9 strawhats, Jinbei would be number 10
|
On potential crewmembers and why they're not joining:
1. Rebecca refuses to hurt people. Disqualified, as it means she can't actually protect nakama, 1v1 someone or actually partake in fights. Also going back to being princess.
2. Viola/Violet has a campaign breaking DF. It would take all the fun away from Luffy and his exploration. He'd never invite her to join. Also going back to being princess.
|
I think the biggest problem with Violet joining the crew is that she might actually take Sanji's advances seriously. Nami flirted with Sanji during the Baratie Arc for a free meal and other favors later on, but is generally annoyed by Sanji's flirting. Robin is just polite to Sanji and ignores his advances. Violet seems like the love Sanji could have had if he stays with her, but of course he'll stay with Strawhats so it will just be a big tease for Sanji. Granted Violet was just manipulating Sanji too, but it will affect Sanji too much if Violet stayed.

There would need to be 11 strawhats for that situation to play out.

1. Isn't that more just because of her situation? Besides she has fought countless times in the arena so she obviously is capable of doing all those things you listed. The princess thing is a reason, just like Vivi.

There is no law in the world of OP that states that a princess cannot become a pirate. In fact, Violet already is one. Sabo was born a noble, dreamed of becoming a pirate but ended up as a revolutionary. Luffy is a pirate, his father is the Revolutionary leader, despite the fact that Garp is a legendary hero of the marine. Doflamingo was born a World Noble but ended up being a Pirate. People in OP are free to pick their own path. Vivi CHOSE to stay in alabasta herself, nobody forced her.

He's a swordsman vice admiral. No, Vice Admiral Bastille is a Giant. Check the source if you don't believe me.

Uh duh? I was referring to a very similar situation that already happened and how that played out. Basically Oda already has a potential place for her after this is all over.
