I get his reasoning but it is flawed. They are Pirates. They live on the same ship 24/7. And they are human. It defies logic to deny them love.

I'm more inclined to believe that the relationships are happening off screen. The interactions between Luffy and Nami, for instance, feels very much lika a relationship. Nobody else on the crew would dare to talk to or treat Luffy the way she does. There are also a few subtle hints about a potential relationship between Robin and Zoro if you pay close attention.

He may keep the relationships off screen for the most part but there are clear signs of them existing even if he refuses to acknowledge it.

I believe Luffy doesn't include himself in that 10. He wants 10 crewmates which actually leaves 2 spots open.

Yamato is out. She is forming her own crew. Most likely she will join the grand fleet.

Vivi is definitely getting 1 of the 2 spots because Imu wants her so joining back up with Luffy for protection is the obvious choice.

And Luffy is nothing if not predictable. There is no way that he doesn't ask Loki to join.

There is room for 2. I believe Vivi and Loki are the choices her.

Why not. They have done it before. Besides. Luffy is predictable. There is no way in hell he doesn't ask Loki to join.

Also I believe that Luffy didn't not include himself when he said 10. I believe that's the number of people he wanted to recruit which means there are 2 spots for crew on his ship.

Luffy didn't say he was one of the 10. He said he want 10 crew mates. That would mean there are technically 2 openings on his ship. Vivi is obviously going to be one of them because Imu wants her so Luffy will protect her. And there is no way Luffy doesn't ask Loki. There is room for both of them.

Vegapunk is not a crew member. Plus I don't think Luffy counted himself as one of the 10. I really think there are 2 spots on his ship. Which actually makes sense. So Loki and Vivi make sense to fill those spots.
