One Piece has now fully thrust itself into the final saga of Eiichiro Oda's massive long-running manga series, and unfortunately, the fan-favorite fighter Yamato is not an official part of the Straw Hat crew like many fans had hoped.
In fact, Yamato openly declared that he would join Luffy on several occasions, however, in the end, he changed his mind. Yamato decided to stay back in Wano simply because Oden started his journey by going from region to region in Wano as well.
In chapter #1051, Yamato openly declared he would join the crew.
One of the hottest topics amongst One Piece fans was Yamato's choice to not join the Straw Hats at the end of the Wano arc. The Oden copycat instead decided that they should truly follow their idol's path, choosing to travel around Wano like the former shogun once did before setting out to sea.
Yamata is going to become the 11th member of the Straw Hat pirates soon. We thought she will become one by the end of the Wano arc, but unfortunately, she stayed to help Momonosuke and the others raise Wano back to glory again. But Yamato is confirmed to be the unofficial 11th member of the Straw Hat pirates.
12/12 Usopp, The Sniper
Usopp is the sniper of the crew, who joined Luffy on his journey during the Syrup Village arc. Usopp is known to be a coward at times, and by his own admission, he often can't keep up with the rest of the crew.
Fans already saw this with Jinbe, who was made the Helmsman of the crew upon joining. Yamato needs Luffy's approval to join the crew and, once he gets it, he's officially going to be the 11th member of the Straw Hat Pirates.
One Piece has now fully thrust itself into the final saga of Eiichiro Oda's massive long-running manga series, and unfortunately, the fan-favorite fighter Yamato is not an official part of the Straw Hat crew like many fans had hoped.
The Laugh Tale arc will inevitably take place toward the end of the story where the Straw Hat Pirates finally reach the Final Island, Laugh Tale. After decades, Luffy will finally accomplish his dream of finding the One Piece and becoming the Pirate King.
After his death, Yamato chose to become Oden, impersonating him and adopting his mannerisms. As a result of this desire to become Oden, Yamato decided to become a man and identify as Kaidou's son, and Kaidou and his crew refer to him as such as well.
So Yamato's not a part of the Straw Hat crew heading into the final saga. Chapter 1057 of One Piece sees Yamato reveal to Momonosuke and Kin'emon that they are in fact going to stay in Wano.
Since the original penning of this article, the manga has provided us with a definite answer. Yamato is a trans man and uses “he/him” pronouns.
Yamato ate a Mythical Zoan Class Devil Fruit known as the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami, which allows her to willingly transform into a hybrid or full form of the wolf deity described as being the Guardian Deity of Wano.
As with Law, Kid will likely never end up joining the Straw Hats unless he somehow loses his own crew. He already has his own group and goals, the latter of which directly competes with Luffy's ambition of becoming King of the Pirates.
So the theory suggests Vivi to be the 13th with her Celestial Dragon lineage tying her to the dragon sign.
Vegapunk! The final member of the Straw Hat Pirates may not be who One Piece fans were expecting. Dr. Vegapunk, the genius scientist responsible for the most advanced inventions in the world of One Piece, is on the run from the World Government and has asked Luffy to take him on his ship.
Clearly, Vivi has a deep love and admiration for the Straw Hat crew. However, that's where the relationship ends. There was never anything that deeply personal between Luffy and Vivi.
Carrot gnaws on Luffy's ear. Like a regular rabbit, she likes to gnaw on things, including people such as Luffy. She loves carrots to the point where her provisions for the trip to Whole Cake Island consisted entirely of them, and she ferociously attacked Luffy when she saw him eating her carrot.
Well, Chopper is actually the youngest Straw Hat, and he is periodically treated as such. It is not unusual for Chopper to be babied by characters such as Robin and Zoro.
2) Zoro. Zoro's awakening of Advanced Conqueror's Haki solidified his place above the Straw Hat chef. Zoro has always been the second strongest member of the crew, a worthy title for the ship's vice-captain to hold.
Big Mom regains Zeus. On the day of the Fire Festival, Zeus joined the Straw Hats on the Thousand Sunny as they entered the battle with the Beasts Pirates.
