i hope so, since i love Hancock
and it would probably be hillarious to see Hancock in the Strawhat crew(specially to see the reaction to Sanji))
but even tough i would love to have Hancock in the Strawhat crew that will probably never happen
i dont actually have any other characters that i would like to see joining the Strawhats at the moment

I am just copy, pasting this. Chapter 626 spoilers are out:

Translation by Aohige_AP

Chapter 626: Neptune Three Brothers
Coverstory: Baratie Linked Dessert Ship "Sister Anko" (Patti is on it)
(Anko is sweet beans, used in Japanese desserts)

The paper Queen Otohime got was a sheet of petition with World Noble signatures
A petition approving friendship between humans and fishmen
All the citizens of FI now agrees with Otohime, and she has gathered more signatures than ever before, more than the box can hold
Her efforts has finally come to fruition

There is a legend of mermaid princess that's born once every several centuries, that can empathize with Sea Kings. Shirahoshi is one.
The prophecy says one day someone will appear before her that will lead her to use her power for the greater good, and bring a massive change to the world.
If used with sinister intent, her power could bring end of the world... or save thousands of people if used with love and compassion.

Otohime is concerned that she may lose control of her powers and the Sea Kings could go on rampage if she loses herself like last time.
She asks her sons to protect their sister with their lives as both warriors and brothers if the time comes.

more to come...

I hope that person is Luffy

Continued...

Someone sets fire on the collected signatures.
As the soldiers put out the fire and tries to move the petition to safety, a gun shot is heard.
At first they don't' know what the sound was, but then they see Otohime being shot.
In the midst of chaos, Decken touches Shirahoshi (T corrected it, he originally said Otohime)
As Otohime lays there dying, she tells her sons no matter who the perpetrator is, don't allow themselves to be enraged for her sake.
Shirahoshi witnesses the incident, and almost loses control again.
To prevent her from crying, the two brothers (the younger two of the three) tries to cheer her up with dance and songs
Fukaboshi swears upon his mother to keep her promise, while weeping
Shirahoshi: We're almost there... we're almost under the real sun...!
Shirahoshi and the three prince vows to keep their promise, by locking their pinkies together
(yubikiri - a Japanese promise tradition)

end

Well, there you go. Otohime is finally dead.

Chapter is out on mangastream. I wonder who killed her, not like Vanderdecken had to go as far as kill Otohime to touch Shirahoshi. Could be the guy who is going to be the real opponent of Luffy on Fishman Island cause I stick with Vanderdecken and Hodi being only appetizers.

Who else . Shirahoshi is going to become a powerful ally for the final battle against the WG. That battle that Whitebeard predicted.

Why hope, when u know obviously it has to be Luffy
Hes the chosen one! *holy music in the background*

@mugi: u , u beat me to it

edit: Gotta say, i think the person who shot Otohime is Hodi Jones sinces hes so similar to Arlong and hates the humans. Just my random guess.

[leokiko]

I can never be so sure when it's Oda's manga

[sunnygrg]

God, I don't care what some of you guys say about Shirohashi not being able to join Luffy's crew (due to her size), but I have never wanted her to join their crew more. It's all starting to come together.

I don't care if Oda reduces her size and claims that it's the plot. I will still be happy.

Indeed.

There are two paths for her: *Hancock-path: becomes friend of the crew, and shows up afterwards to help them(sending Sea Kings ).
*Nakama-path: No need for an explanation..


or.. she dies(). Seriously, everything is possible, although those two are the most likely to occur.

I feel like her character is being built up to become the leader of her people and Luffy is just meant to give her a bit of a nudge in that direction. An ally to the crew for sure but given her roots and her being royalty she has much more important obligations than going on wacky misadventures with Luffy. She's clearly due to take on her mother's goal and will need to stay with her people to protect them with her power in the future. Vivi 2.0 if you will.
