Why would they care less if he's alive or not though?
So the bounty hunters/marines don't kill Caesar too. Or so he doesn't kill Caesar in his death throes, remember he still has his heart.

How do you guys feel about Caesar being the next nakama? He's a scientist, stuck around for quite a while, and has an interesting dynamic with the other strawhats. He would also be the first logia to join the crew and could be a middle of the pack fighter if he were to join. The big three are arguably stronger than him at this point. Oda just needs to flesh out his back story and have a moment where Luffy gains his respect. I mean, he's already assisted with the minkmen and he could help Sanji escape cake island when shit hits the fan.
You're saying that as if Crocodile was a bad guy anymore. The dude was willing to throw his life away to protect the man who beat him up and ruined all his plans.
I still think Caribou is the best choice for new nakama. The way his character acts and is would create a new dynamic in the way the crew interact with eachother.
Not happening. Caesar isn't a team player and he's wanted too much by the other Yonko to ever be a productive crew member. The only reason he's even compliant is that his heart is in a lockbox thanks to Law. I'm also pretty sure Luffy hates him, doesn't trust him, and wouldn't want to expose his crew to one of Caeser's betrayals.
Crocodile has a better chance of becoming a Straw Hat than Caeser.
What I hadn't actually picked up on before is that Pudding is the 35th daughter. 35th. Some unlucky bastard had to hit that 35 times. Oda is a cruel, cruel man.
