He doesn't find himself now doesn't he?XD

Haha, true. Guess I just skimmed that line and didn't read it properly.

And Samurai!?
No.way.
Oda has purposely given each strawhat member a unique fighting style to make each member one of a kind.
They don't need another swordsman.

Don't get me wrong, Mone the Harpy seems like a perfect addition to the Straw Hats. Her addition would add another female in an attempt to balance the gender quantities, a seemingly Zoan-user, and a scout as mentioned. Certainly unique enough to be a Straw Hat.

But I just see the Samurai's introduction eerily close to what we've seen from a Straw Hat recruitment.
Luffy blatantly asks him to join (this isn't as unlikely as Jinbe or other jokes).
If he doesn't join, he doesn't have a crew or group to go with instead (unlike Mone).
He clearly has a mission that would make him go through the New World.
He's already building relationships with the Straw Hats.
He's pretty crazy/unique.

I know another swordsman is repetitive, but it seems that it's set up perfectly.
