Okay, Straw Hat fans! Let's talk. The big question. The one that keeps us up at night. Who will be the 11th Straw Hat?
We’ve been speculating for, like, ever. So many theories! So many hopes! But are we even looking in the right places?
The Usual Suspects
We’ve all heard the names. Yamato, the Oden wannabe. Good fighter, cool backstory. But… does she *really* fit?
Then there's Carrot. A cute bunny girl. Decent combat skills. But is "decent" Straw Hat material? I’m not so sure.
And of course, the constant calls for Vivi to rejoin. Sentimental value is high. But combat-wise? Not so much. Can she survive in the New World? I doubt that she can.
Why They Might NOT Make It
Honestly? They all feel… forced. Like Oda's being pressured by the fanbase.
Yamato’s whole "I'm Oden!" thing gets old fast. Character development is really important for the crew. She's still developing.
Carrot feels like Chopper 2.0. We need a new dynamic, not a copy.
Vivi is a princess. A leader. The Straw Hats are… pirates. It’s a clash of lifestyles. We want a crew member who wants to join them, not for one who is forced to!
My "Unpopular" Opinion
Brace yourselves. My pick for the 11th Straw Hat? Someone completely unexpected. Someone NO ONE is talking about!
It’s... Bartolomeo! Yes, you heard me right.
Bartolomeo? Seriously?
I know, I know. He's annoying. He’s a superfan. But hear me out!
Firstly, his Devil Fruit is INSANE. An impenetrable barrier? Perfect for defense. Luffy needs someone to protect him sometimes! He is a good candidate for the job.
Secondly, his loyalty is unwavering. He LIVES for the Straw Hats. He’d die for them. Talk about dedication!
Thirdly, think of the comedy! Bartolomeo simping for Luffy constantly? GOLD. The crew can make fun of him. He's the perfect comic-relief. He is funny!
Fourthly, he runs a fleet. Think about the implications for the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. The crew would have an insane increase in power!
He has weaknesses that could be explored. He has a serious lack of confidence in his strength. How great would it be to see the Straw Hats show him how great he really is?
Seriously! Picture it! Bartolomeo, screaming "SENPAI!" while protecting the Sunny with his barrier. It's PERFECT.
The Real Reason Why
Okay, deep breath. I know it's a long shot. A HUGE long shot.
But One Piece is about defying expectations. About friendship, loyalty, and found family.
And honestly? Bartolomeo embodies all of that. He deserves to be there. He is amazing and very funny.
So, call me crazy. Call me delusional. But in my heart? Bartolomeo is the 11th Straw Hat. And I’m sticking to it. What do you think?
Please note that the inclusion of any character to the Straw Hat Pirates is purely based on speculation and personal opinion. This is for entertainment purposes only.
