For those of you who don't know a while back Oda Confirmed the notion that we were getting more crew members in the mugiwaras. But my biggest complaint is do they have any positions that need to be filled?

They have the core six needed to run a ship
  • Captain
  • Navigator
  • Cook
  • Doctor
  • Shipwright
  • Cannoneer(in this case a sniper)
And three extra too
  • Historian
  • Swordsman
  • Musician
What else could they possibly want/need?! Like Seriously when these new people show up will they be a fisherman (We already know the crew can fish so no) A Blacksmith (They only have two sword users and both have boss swords that are top tier so no)...

I guess the real question is when we do get more crew what will they do?!
What could these new crew members be or do exactly?

For those who don't know the new nakama thing its old but still way latter than when brook joined
So its a guarantee we get more crew

So If (Cause my stupid beta brain won't work right now) you could list off possible straw hat roles that need to be filled that would be great and I might rep you if its real helpful.

They dont need people to fill positions in, look and whitebeards crew and other crews, aslong as they have members they can trust, thats all they need

A Spy/Dancer You know who.

An Ex Marine who knows how the insides of the WG work.

A Logia. Just because.

A Messenger. Someone who can convey messages quickly and help coordinate assaults with allies. Possibly a DF power that allows this. Something like what Inoichi did.

Maybe a specialist Helmsman. Would help if he's a fishman too. =D

A helmsman or a great pilot of ships would be extremely useful.
But Violet won't join (I want her to too, but she is like totally the heir to the throne and stuffs)
And The Straw hats aren't underground brokers the idea that they need a marine on the inside for what? So they can report all the cool adventures they are having to someone?
A logia isnt a job detail.
And a messenger sounds great too.
+Rep for the good ones.

Nami already does that. Its her big dream. To make a map of the world.

Buggy and shanks or naw?

LMAO
One of them Should be Called Banks and the other Suggy. Just to be a nod to shanks and buggy.

Violet should join. The heir will be Rebecca though. Violet has a very handy DF that could mean SHs are never caught off guard. She would be a very useful addition. But so far she doesn't have the build up to be a SH.
I said Logia just because it make the crew more diverse y having all 3 types of DF users.

1 more suggestion actually - Someone who wants to collect a certain type of DFs. That way, the DF explanation later on would also help his dream and all. And make things interesting.

And violet can't just decide to make her little kid niece queen... She literally Is the only of age ruler besides king riku who won't be king..
A DF hunter. Not a bad Idea. OR A Collector. Whats the word... for someone who searches for rare items and long lost treasure.?

Cheap power ups are cheap.

Teach had a cheap power up, also they would need to find a Op devil fruit first, which would be close to impossible, also Imagine if they found the time time fruit, like Law you can create a room and manipulate time, slow it down for chosen targets so it seems your moving at super speed, stop time, this ability would be Op

Who said they need to have a positions to join SHC? A sad past is the main requirement and Luffy needs to like you as well

Current:

Captain
Navigator/Cartographer/Weather Scientist
Cook
Doctor/Medical Scientist
Shipwright/Mechanical Scientist
Sniper/Strategist (For big events where allies are involved)
Musician
Historian
First Mate

Need:

Helmsman--Jimbei
Lookout/Crow's nest-- Violet
Astronomer for when they go to the moon-- Monet
Blacksmith? Not sure of relevance...

Idk if the really NEED a helmsman, as that position would be filled by someone else, like Franky. But just in case... And Jimbei was helmsman after the prison break/going to the war, and maybe en route to Marine Ford the second time (for 3D2Y)

Violet may join because of... things... For the future Royal family, i'd say it would be Kyros as king. His wife died, so there would be no queen. And Rebecca as princess again. It just seems as though Violet could leave... Plus she'd be a great asset, and great for the after parties.

Monet I don't believe is dead. That may just be me, but I think she will make an appearance similar to Robin after Doffy is dealt with.

...Bonchan as scapegoat lol.

Luffy said he wants a magician as part of his crew in the early parts of one piece. So if he finds a magician, he will definitely make that person part of the crew. And also Jimbei.

I think he'll keep crew to minimal,but increase his allies atleast now it looks that way.
and now that the main positions are filled as stated above Messenger would be great,and i think sub positions should be filled for eg.

under usopp group will be the ammunition handlers or supporters,
under chopper Fighter + medical team,
Under brook Fighter + musicians
same goes for sanji

Something like underlings of commanders and the main group will be commander [something like WB ship]

since crew size is gonna increase i think it should be done but not for all for eg sanji doesn't need helpers,same goes for chopper
Brook needs the underlings or fellow musicians
But its unlikely looking at the size of their ship.
