[Theory] Theory about the final four straw hat

[Tomato God]

There are lots of patterns that dictate the strawhats and who will and will not join.

1. The Three Seas Patterns
   
   Spoiler

   Monkey D luffy has gotten four new crew members in every ocean he has been to.
   

   • East blue
     1. Zoro
     2. Nami
     3. Usopp
     4. Sanji
   • Paridise
     1. Chopper
     2. Robin
     3. Franky
     4. Brook
     The pattern being that its a male crew member. Then female crew member. Followed by two more male crew members.
   • New world
     1. Male
     2. Female
     3. Male
     4. Male
2. The Devil Fruit wordplay pattern
   
   Spoiler

   In Vol.59 SBS:
   ''D: Odacchi! I noticed an amazing thing!!! It is that if you show the Straw Hat Devil Fruit users in numbers, it will be the numbers from 1~10!!
   Luffy→Gomu Gomu (5.6.5.6.), Chopper→Hito Hito (1.10.1.10), Robin→Hana Hana (8.7.8.7.), Brook→Yomi Yomi (4.3.4.3.)
   
   (1.3.4.5.6.7.8.10), but there is no (2.9), so is the one who ate the Nikyu Nikyu (2.9.2.9.) no Mi, Bartholomew Kuma, gonna be a Straw Hat next? Please tell me!!! P.N. SHANKUS.LOVE
   
   O: WHAAAAAT?! (shock) Gosh that surprised me! Why was I surprised?! NO COMMENTTTTTTT!!!!!!!! NEXT!!''
   
   
   Meaning that the next fruit would have to be either Fuku fuku (Clothes man) Or a Paw man (nikyu)
3. The Coward the Fighters and the Lady Pattern
   
   Spoiler

   This one is pretty much straight forward and expands on the first pattern.
   In each of the seas Luffy gets two very powerful crew members that are male one female crew member and one cowardly crew member.
4. The Crew Number Pattern
   
   Spoiler

   The Crew members are each given a chapter.
   Zoro's chapter is "The First Person"
   Nami's chapter is "The Second Person"
   Ect.
   But the pattern is that the woman crew member and the person that joins after them do not get a chapter named after them immediately upon joining.
   Ergo Nami's chapter "The Second Person" Comes after the defeat of arlong almost 30 chapters later.
   And Similarly Usopp's chapter "The Third and The Seventh" Comes in the same time Franky joined.
   And the pattern follows Robin and chopper as well who haven't been given number chapters either.
   Robin who would be the sixth and Chopper who would be the fifth

With this we can fill in the bubbles.
We have 2 people promised a spot as a crew members if they get the chance. And one named devil fruit that should be in the Straw hats based on the second pattern. And we also need a coward. And we need a woman.

The Following Fit All The Patterns Perfectly Without Flaw:

1. Jimbe - Strong Male crew member. Was promised a spot in the crew but had to work so he wasn't given a number chapter. Suspiciously he is the second one offered but not given a number or a crew role the first being Vivi a woman. Meaning that He would fit in with all the patterns. And since he has no DF the third pattern does not apply
2. Vivi - A woman And she was offered a position as crew before Jimbe (Meaning they both wouldn't get numbers right away. Which they have not) She declined and since she has No DF the third pattern does not apply here either
3. Unknown
4. Momonosuke - his unnamed DF wouldn't disrupt the numbers because its a failed DF. He Is a coward and would fit the bill to make all the other patterns come true since he is initially viewed as weak but has potential. His DF being Smile also fits as well due to the 29 number being said as Niko (Meaning the sound effect for Smiling) Which is The same as what is used to make artificial DFs

And to further my theory. All 3 of them are in the New world Right now at this moment. And one is with the straw hats at this very moment.

HIGHLY doubt Vivi will join as unlike the other SHs, Vivi has no foreshadowing.

Momonosuke has no chance in hell. No foreshadowing and he is freaking 8.

 

[loj]

I can see Carrot joining after todays chapter she fits in perfectly.

She's crazy,she wants to explore the world,is a female,is a mink.

If not her Jimbei is a safe bet I think.

 

[Prince Badman]

well i guess Jinbe would be a SH fleet captain + captain of sun pirates....vivi i dunno.....she is the sole princess of the Alabasta kingdom..she would be leaving behind all her responsibilities so i doubt her joining will be unlikely especially when her father is on the verge of dying

 

[Angelic.]

Naw. Vivis dad is dying unless he gets cured by chopper. I mean he won't die this is op after all lol.

Hmm even though this is an old breakdown of the crew joining patterns I just realized something not many have touched on that I've seen and that's that the first 4 are human and the 2nd 4 are "monsters".

What I mean is Usopp Zoro Nami and Sanji are regular humans despite the crazy strength levels. They use their human bodies and weapons to fight. The second 4 are all different. Robin is the closest to a regular human but she does have a DF and was called a demon. Chopper is an animal. Franky is a Cyborg. Brook is a skeleton. All 4 of those could be considered "monsters" or oddities but whatever you want to call them the point is still their not human in the sense that the first 4 are. I wonder if this'll play into the next 4? Maybe all new races, fishman, giant, long arm etc.? Idk it may be nothing at all but I thought that was a neat coincidence.

Hmmm only person on the list , I like is jinbei, for the crewmate spot.

Vivi needs to lead her kingdom, and will probably join the revolution, as the example country that will cause others to follow to Dragon's side, thus setting up the final war, on a grander scale. Would be disappointed if shes back to being a pirate, and ignores her people completely like that.

I think at this point, Strawhats should also start having normal "fodders" (for lack of better term) on their crew, so it gets the more "pirate" feel. I mean looking at Roger's flashback.. that seemed like a wild crew. So hopefully it won't be limited to simply 13/14 people, but also have some "Fodders" or w.e as well.

And when are we going to start acknowledging Barto and etc as Strawhats?? lol, considering they're part of the Strawhat fleet, hence strawhats. =D

HIGHLY doubt Vivi will join as unlike the other SHs, Vivi has no foreshadowing.

Momonosuke has no chance in hell. No foreshadowing and he is freaking 8.

Would be weird if Luffy's crew doesn't have any kids pirates on the crew. Roger had Buggy and Shanks. So Momo wouldn't be so surprising. And we don't even know how old Oden was back then.
