OnePiece : Adventures of the Pirates: OnePiece : The Story of the Straw

The Egghead arc has finally wrapped up, with the Straw Hats successfully fending off the Gorosei and setting sails for Elbaf Island, the island of the Giants. Well, as opposed to what we thought at the beginning of this arc, Luffy’s crew is leaving the futuristic island with two new people onboard. They are none other than Bonney and Lilith, one of Vegapunk’s satellites.

So, let me explain what events led to them boarding the pirate ship, and who do you think should become the next member of the Straw Hat Pirates. You can cast your votes down below.

Note: The two characters mentioned below could potentially turn out to be the 11th member of the Straw Hat Pirates. However, as of now, it seems like they could become a temporary member of the crew like Vivi or Carrot. That said, we can find out who the fans want to be the next member of the Straw Hats crew.

Jewelry Bonney: The Joy Girl

Jewelry Bonney, the daughter of Kuma, was an unexpected addition to the Egghead Island arc at the beginning. Later on, it was revealed that this arc revolves around the life story of Bonney and her father. It quickly transformed into an emotional rollercoaster that left fans like me teary-eyed.

As a result, Jewelry Bonney’s popularity skyrocketed during this arc, and she has become one of the most popular female characters in One Piece.

You may wonder what makes Bonney a prime candidate to join the Straw Hat Pirates as a member. It is because her entire family i.e., Kuma and Bonney’s was associated with the tale of Sun God Nika. Furthermore, she shares many characteristics with Luffy, such as eating heartily.

Currently, Bonney has boarded the Giant’s ship with Sanji, Franky, and Luffy. Remarkably, she has managed to fulfill her father’s ambition by fighting alongside Luffy, the current incarnation of Nika, and emerging as the Joy Girl. It was a beautiful occasion that brought Kuma’s tale full circle. We expect to see more adventures with this Joy Boy and Joy Girl duo in the future.

Lilith: The Only Surviving Vegapunk

If you remember, Dr. Vegapunk asked Luffy to permit him to board his ship, which was an unusual request at the start of the Egghead Island arc. So, we were looking forward to the world’s smartest man traveling the seas with the Straw Hats, bringing extraordinary intelligence to the crew.

Unfortunately, the main Stella aka Vegapunk, and other satellites such as Pythagoras, Edison, and Shaka met their end in the very arc. The only last remaining satellites were Lilith, Atlas, and York.

Since York sided with the World Government, she became a traitor and that left us Lilith and Atlas. Sadly, Atlas decided to sacrificeherself by blowing up to let the Straw Hat Pirates escape from Nusjuro, one of the Five Elders, in centaur form. Therefore, the only surviving piece of Vegapunk is Lilith and she is with the rest of the Straw Hat crew on the Thousand Sunny right now.

Lilith represents the “evil” aspect of Dr. Vegapunk, yet as was previously seen, she transforms into a dependable and compassionate person when it comes to her friends. Out of the other satellites, she is the bravest, which qualifies her to be one of the combatants of the Straw Hat Pirates, even if it’s temporary.

That said, who do you think should become a member of the Straw Hat Pirates even for a temporary period? Let us know in the comments below.
