Ben should really get around to extracting the devil fruits from the prisoners at some point

Didn't they take 2 years to fully explore paradise? Unless there was unmentioned combat, they haven't faced the admirals since thriller bark. If shirahoshi is getting recruited then Ben needs to get a template to empower subordinates, my suggestions are Vandalu (Death Mage Doesn't Want a 4th Time) and Rimuru (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime)

So I guess there was at least one tech person template in the timeskip, either that or Ben took the idea from fiction while trying to merge his templates. Because I don't think zoids were a thing in any of the templates we know he has gained so far. I do like that he has made a bunch of new tech over the timeskip, but still don't know if it was needed.

Since no new templates have been mentioned, I assume any devil fruits encountered during the timeskip have been sent to the Revolutionary Army. So Ben should keep these two, the swamp fruit's unlimited storage body is similar enough to give a Rimuru template, as I've suggested before, and the target fruit would be good for ussop as a sniper, especially if vanderdeken was stupid about using it, I could see ussop using haki to tag his targets remotely rather than slaps

They maybe should have stopped at Fishman Island to recruit shirahoshi before the timeskip, but I suppose it can happen after

Guess the remaining timeskip islands are mainly libraries that can be copied, plus vegapunk's birth island, but I can see them recruiting the real vegapunk once they are in the new world, so that's unnecessary.

I was honestly expecting Hancock to join the crew, using either the method used on garp to deage gloriosa or the robot replacement method used by Vivi, I even thought Ben might move her devil fruit to the robot since it is something from the celestial dragons.

Guess Hancock and Luffy have some sort of fate binding them. Probably better for Ben to remove the curse as a crew member than on his own, otherwise his relationship with Robin could be affected.

Since it happens in his body, I guess Sunny will be aware that he could greet Robin as his and Merry's mama in the morning.

Are they on the Sunny? I thought that was being coated. I guess they could be on the Merry, but they just got the sunny because the merry was too small. Regardless, I see Luffy asking/ordering Ben to make a permanent teleport door from his cabin to the food island, Sanji might also ask for a door in the kitchen to act as a snack zone so he doesn't have to cook randomly.
