Since then, the Straw Hats have only grown stronger, but it would be inaccurate to say that the gang is already at the peak of their powers.
The Straw Hat Pirates can still grow stronger, and its founder Eiichiro Oda one pieceWe have lined up new Devil Fruit users for Elbaf Arc. Lastly, Oda is making the Straw Hats stronger than ever.
One Piece Elbaf, Straw Hat Devil Fruit User Final Lineup
with one piece At the end of each chapter, it is essential for Eiichiro Oda to complete the Straw Hat Crew. Currently, Luffy only has 9 subordinates, compared to his original target of 10, and this has been officially confirmed. one piece July 18, 1997 Chapter 1. If you look at the Blackbeard Pirates, who have 10 Titanic captains, and Shanks, who has 10 powerful officers under them, Luffy is one person short. This person will most likely join the Straw Hat Pirates after the Elbaf arc officially ends.
“Let's see… I need to get some sailors first. I hope I can find at least ten!” — Luffy confirms that he wants 10 men. 1 dress
Moreover, since the candidates put forward by Eiichiro Oda are all Devil Fruit users anyway, there is a high possibility that the next Straw Hat will also be a Devil Fruit user. today, one piece It is at the climax of the Elbaf Arc where Nerona Imu fights the Sun God Nika. Now that this battle is set to conclude in the coming months, one piece Finally, by diverting the attention of the Straw Hats and acquiring the last Straw Hat and a powerful Devil Fruit user, they are officially able to further strengthen their power.
Why Loki, Gunko, or Bonney Could Be One of the Straw Hats' Next Devil Fruit Users
Currently, there are several candidates for the position of the final straw hat, and starting with Loki, they are all devil fruit users. Loki is the cursed prince of Elbaf, hated by the entire country. in one piece dress In 1152, officially released on June 23, 2025, Monkey D. Luffy officially invited Loki to join the Straw Hat Pirates. With such a huge offer, Loki is the most direct candidate for the position of the Last Straw Hat. At the time, Loki rejected this offer. in one piece In chapter 1180, Loki also officially revealed that the only place Imu could find him was Elbaf. This suggests that Loki will once again reject Luffy's offer and stay in Elbaf. However, in One Piece Chapter 1188 on July 12, 2026, Luffy once again called Loki Nakama, implying that he has not yet given up on taking him to the Thousand Sunny. Once Elbaf is done, we'll see whether Loki will join the crew. If so, he would be the last Devil Fruit user to wield the power of Ryu Ryunomi, Model Nidhoggr, which was officially revealed in One Piece Chapter 1175.
“Loki, join my team! If he joins me, he can't complain if I let him go, right, Hairuddin?” — Luffy invites Loki and Ragnir to join the Straw Hat Pirates. One Piece Chapter #1152
Along with Loki, Princess Shuri is also a strong candidate to take the position of the final straw hat. This is because Shuri was manipulated by Nero and Imu, and her hometown, the Kingdom of Esperia, no longer exists. Shuri has always been under Brook's protection since she was a child, and Brook has already enlisted the Straw Hat Pirates' help in rescuing her. If Princess Shuri escapes death in this arc, she will most likely sail with the Straw Hat Pirates and become the last member of the crew. Shuri is a user of Aro Aro no Mi and her Paramecia type Devil Fruit will certainly increase the crew's overall firepower tremendously, making her the fourth strongest member after the monster trio.
“Brooke, when I grow up, I want to sail the seas with you as a pirate!” — Shuri says she wants to sail with Brooke. One Piece Episode 1185
Lastly, this is the case of Jewelry Bonnie, who has been sailing with the Straw Hat Pirates for quite some time. Bonney wields the power of Toshi Toshi no Mi, one of the most powerful Devil Fruits seen in One Piece. That said, she is the least likely candidate to become a Straw Hat, as her main goal is to return Kuma to his former self. To that end, Bonney will likely stay on Elbaf in the new laboratory he discovered 3,000 years ago with Vegapunk Lilith.
Bibi lining up as a candidate for the Devil Fruit Straw Hat
As confirmed in One Piece Episode 216 on January 28, 2002, the case of Vivi, who is already an honorary member of the Straw Hat Pirates, must also be considered. Vivi is currently affiliated with Morgans and Wapol, and has already sent a message to Monkey D. Luffy asking him to reunite with him and the Straw Hats. That means Nerona Imu is currently pursuing Vivi as well, and there's no telling who will get to her first.
“When Luffy transforms into freestyle, do X's appear on his arms? It looks unnatural to me. The hands appear blurry, but the markings are very clear.” — Nico Robin shows Vivi's message. One Piece Episode 1130
If Vivi were to reunite with Luffy and the Straw Hats, she would undoubtedly become a member of the crew. In this case, she may be a Devil Fruit user as Eiichiro Oda set up Hitohitonomi, model: Zaza, for her. This Devil Fruit was first revealed in One Piece Chapter 1182 in the 24th issue of Shueisha Weekly Shonen Jump on May 10, 2026. Considering that the god Zaza only comes to pray for rain, Bibi is the perfect person for this ability, and it will give her incredible powers at the end of the story. Either way, it's nice to see the final Straw Hat, who will most certainly be a Devil Fruit user, introduced by Eiichiro Oda at the end of One Piece.
