I hate how I see a lot of people against Jinbei joining. Like???? Why????? He's the most worthy out of anyone thus far. What's worse is that those same people want him to die in the current arc. Like wtf are people on???

there is no way she's joining, just because you like a character you don't need to come up with the he/she's joining bs

" Pudding joining isn’t too crazy of an idea" ... Yeah, nah. That's not going to happen. Jinbe has a hell of a lot more to offer the Straw Hats in experience alone than Pudding could even dream of from under her carpet.

Not to be bitchy at all. I'm just shocked that people even still consider it a possibility.

I don't think anyone said they were against Jinbei joining. Also, I agree Pudding is still a bit of an enigma, but people exaggerate how confusing she is. She's clearly helping the Strawhats now, though she's doing it now only for Sanji. Moreover, I believe Pudding as a love interest for Sanji in fact lowers her chances to join because Oda said no romance among Strawhat members.

Thank you all for the comments @skyelentnight , @iamtiredoftryingnames , @namibean, and @spartan1204 ! I don’t have any statistic to show around but according to what I’ve heard and what I also assumed, there really are people who don’t want Jinbe to join or who don’t see any point in that. I'm actually surprised that there are actually people who are against Jinbe joining the SHs but in the end, it's just like some of the people don’t want Pudding to join or see the logic in that. 

I guess we’ll have to see more chapters to find out what Pudding really wants. Of course, it’s good that she wants to help but I still see it more possible for her to go search for Lola rather than staying with the Straw Hats but Oda-sensei will let us know later for sure!

Obviously, there's no accounting for taste because everyone has their opinions and there is not a single solution that would please all of us because there is that saying:  once you bow to one, you bend over for the other ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This was already pointed out in the earlier post considering this topic but if someone is worthy enough to join the crew it’s Jinbei. In addition to previous reasons @pernanegra also mentioned the Fishman karate which is not only really strong but pretty unique skill. In addition to all of this, if something then the latest chapters proved that Jinbe has already deserved his place among Straw Hats. He is clever and strong and has lots of experience (plus he already had decided to join Luffy’s crew) so now we can just sit down and wait when they’ll hold a welcoming banquet for Jinbe and also for Sanji :)

Jinbei doesn’t add too much to the crew yet he’s joining, so Pudding joining isn’t too crazy of an idea

Hmmm... interesting point @spartan1204, although I disagree in this one because well Jinbe is joining anyways and in my opinion he has already proven that he is worthy enough to receive his place as a SH member with many ways. First of all without his help Luffy and Nami would be left inside the book prison.He is physically very strong and therefore only even this alone would be a reason enough for everyone wanting to hire him. Secondly, he has really good mentoring skills. Best example of this is placed to the pre time skip when Luffy was completely lost and driven in the mental breakdown after Ace’s death but Jinbe was the one to kick him up to the game again in middle of his sorrow. Latest chapters (sorry for spoilers) have also showed his ability to be the voice of reason. The others were devastated by Pedro’s sacrifice but Jinbe told them to keep up the fight because thanks to Pedro they were a bit in safer waters (until Momma strikes again).  Someone might think that voice of reasoning is “Zoro’s job” and yes he is usually the one who doesn’t let the emotions control in distress (for example in Luffy vs Usopp-chapter) but still, they are a team and they have tried to guide each other together at bad times, it’s not a job for only one member. 

As we learned in Fishman Island-saga, Jinbe has done bad things in his past and yes we can say it’s his fault that Arlong did what he did in East Blue and he admits it. However, Jinbe has showed being regretful about the events and even though his mistake caused Nami some deep wounds she was ready to forgive him, after all the years of agony.  What I try to say is that Jinbe is already completely accepted into the crew (he has no grudges with anyone and he has been a big help in general, in battlefields and outside of them) and that’s why I see Jinbe joining to the SH pirates much more logical than Pudding’s, currently.

Maybe what bothers me the most about Pudding’s possibilities to join the SH crew is that she has not shown any remorse about anything. Let’s say that I don’t hate her but like said earlier, she is too complicated for my brain at the moment. I don’t actually even know anymore what she actually thinks about Straw Hats, genuienly.  If we throw away the shippy goggles from this analyze (i.e her joining SH just because she likes Sanji-kinds of arguments) the possibilities for her to join decreases, in my opinion. Why? Because we still don’t know a thing about her real motivations. She can say this and that but since she has been a bit swingy with her thoughts lately, how we do even know whether she even wants to join the crew in first place? Yes she might want to get rid of BM but what if she wants to walk her own path after the victory? Or what if she really just despises all of them Straw Hats and what if everything else is just an act? Like said, we really don’t know much about her so it’s really hard to read her plans at the moment and that’s one reason I see her joining the SH crew a bit far fetched (this of course doesn’t mean I’m absolutely right about anything because I can’t read Oda-sensei’s mind).

Yes the aftermath about everything that has happened in WCI can be postponed to later chapters and we don’t know yet what Oda has prepared for us and them but so far it just doesn’t seem fair at all that someone who lied a lot without any regrets and caused quite a ruckus (planned or not) would be forgiven easily and let to be part of the crew. If that’d happen it would require crew chemistry and that Pudding would be genuinely sorry about everything without her having personality swings. At this moment she isn’t really popular among SH for reasons so she needs to work hard if she wants to regain any respect. As said anything can happen but I just would like to see that IF Oda decides to add her as a new SH that he would give her plausible reasons/storylines which allow her to join not just because “she is the fiancee of Sanji” and “she is now in love with him but can’t decide”-kind of reasons.
