So about characters joining do people believe this whole 4 in East Blue, 4 in the Paradise and 4 in the New World?
Also at least in the anime Luffy said he wants 10 guys. Which could mean people or guys. So 10 guys plus 3 women maybe?
10 male characters including Luffy and 3 woman characters?
The other thing if you look at the return to Sabaody, you had the fake Strawhats. They managed to recruit at least 4 named pirates.
1)Albion - Code Geass came to mind Suzaku Lancelot Albion. Lancelot Arthur, Knights of the round table (scabbards too would relate
to knights of the round table). Knight of the Sea Jinbe. But Albion looks like a fish character. Albion bandages for the Sun Pirates hiding
their slave marks with a new design over it.
2)Lip Service Doughty - looks like a guy and a girl. And also has multicolor lips in the manga, which can represent Yamato being a woman
and having her Oden thing going. If you look at his design he has a captains hat and long hair like that makes it look a bit like Oden's
hair piece design (that hat being the top half) and then long hair.
3)Super Rookie Caribou - well technically Super Rookie could be Yamato too since Yamato would be someone with conqueror's Haki. Technically
Caribou has been popping in and out of One Piece contrary to the other 3. The possibility he joins isn't impossible. Though his loyalties seem to
lie elsewhere. Same time he also has the post-Shinobu Momonosuke long hair. Momonosuke would be a super rookie given he's only 8 and has the
ability he has. A rookie version of Kaido.
4)Coribou - Well Coribou could represent a case where he was presumed lost at sea, then reunited and separated again. So Sabo presumed dead, reunite with Luffy in Dressrosa (The saga where Caribou and Coribou reuinited) and then parting ways. Caribou taken captive and to Kaido, where Luffy currently headed and seperated from his crew like Luffy was in Udon. Both having attacked and destroyed factories by Kaido. Coribou still with his crew, Sabo still with the Revolutionaries.
The Caribou, Coribou thing contradicts since if they were brothers then it couldn't be Sabo as Luffy is already in the crew. Of course Caribou is a Logia (as is Ace and now Sabo). And Caribou played the role of a dead revolutionary for a time (Sabo a revolutionary and Ace dead, Ivankov was possibly originally Dragon's number 2 and presumed dead and Sabo became the No. 2). But it could represent some variation of the Ace and Sabo dynamic. As Caribou was a Logia and Coribou wasn't just like when Ace was alive while Sabo was.
But the four that joined the fake strawhats seem to have matches with certain characters.
It would make sense as the fake strawhats looked like watered-down versions of the real one while the four new recruits are watered down versions of the four who will actually join the Strawhats. And given the pending Dragon and Sabo matter, Sabo could represent the dead Revolutionary figuratively as Dragon may cut ties with him. Leading Sabo to become the pirate he originally planned to be. But then someone would be assuming the Coribou role. Caribou knowing about Ancient weapons kind of fits the Revolutionary Army but also the Kouzuki. And he played a Revolutionary Army person who attacked Kaido's base. The Kouzuki going to war against Kaido.
Of course lost brother could also be Marco regarding Ace. And Marco became 2nd Captain of Whitebeard's crew in a sense when Whitebeard died. And Ace was meant to become Captain which would have Marco 2nd in Command. MArco was with the remnants of Whitebeards men as was Coribou with the remnants of Caribou's crew while Caribou was captured as Ace and Whitebeard (two meant to be captains) died. Now, Ace and Caribou - Logia. And Marco brother to Logia (As a Zoan that acts similar to a Logia). And Apparently Blue and Yellow make the color green. Coribou has the Green hair, Marco being blue and yellow make that color.
Could be absolutely random could not be.
So my guess since I don't control what Oda writes:
1)Albion - Jinbe
2)Doughty - Yamato
3)Caribou - Momonosuke
4)Coribou - Sabo
The Marco aspect came to mind later. But basically of 3 and 4 I'd say down to Marco, Momonosuke and Sabo.
Sabo especially with the mention of the teamwork between Luffy and Ace (And Sabo now having the fruit). Where
in this case Ace was recruited by Luffy who rejected and died but stayed a Whitebeard and put Whitebeard before
his own father. While Sabo was thought dead, found to be alive, not recruited by Luffy, and said his title as Revolutionary
doesn't come before Luffy.
Momonosuke I worry about as the flashback spoke of taking the Shogun would be seen as a political thing even in Lawless
Wano.
So maybe Coribou = Marco and Caribou = Sabo.
If that happens then that would mean the four in the New World would all be people who have links to Ace, whose death and the War
regarding him set all of this in motion in the first place. So them all being moved to also want to avenge Ace and the reveal of Ace's
bloodline would be a motivating factor in Oda setting it up like that.
Me personally, no matter how I look at it I just can't see Oda having a huge Dragon on the crew as one of the main crewmates. Seems overkill.
Technically the adding of this group is monstrous but then maybe it depends on the characters Oda starts bringing into the fold. As you see with cross guild, they just threw in World's Strongest Swordsman and Crocodile with an extremely powerfully trained Logia who Oda probably weakened earlier for the plot.
Of course the super rookie thing would be out the window with Marco and Sabo but of course Sabo was technically not a pirate.
Also lip "service" doughty. Samurai (Yamato) serve the Shogun. Doughty = brave, determined where Yamato wasn't afraid to face Kaido or
call herself Oden and everything else and was willing to face death to stop Kaido.
Mention of disguises by Luffy regarding fake Sanji and Zoro could be hinting Kin'emon's devil fruit but also Yamato having being wearing a mass the whole time. Sabo sneaking into Marie Geoise in a soldier armor.
It could just be straight up caribou. Since he technically did accidentally join the strawhats, found his way on their ship and keeps bumping into them numerous times. And keeps picking up info on Ancient Weapons. The plot seems like it would be more exciting if he gave away information that lead to chaos but his scenes could be hints that he joins anyway.
