[X] Bartolomeo joins (and pays back his debt to Nami)
[X] Tashigi stays behind (And becomes a good little Marine lapdog, just like Contessa wants))
-- I don't think Tashigi has been quite heard enough to convince her to join us. Yet. We can revisit her once she's seen the events in Alabasta, or maybe Punk Hazard, where the World Government and/or Shichibukai are exposed as corrupt.
[X] Garp and Smoker catch up, but Dragon intervenes, then realizes who he stopped and jumps on board. Now we're wanted for harboring the most wanted man in the world.

Dragon wiped the sweat off his brow as his son's ship got under way. An errant cannonball came whistling through the air, but one the kids jumped up and kicked it off course. Dragon approved, his son had some strong crewmates. He looked back at the shore, where Garp still stood. Even from here, he could feel the man's glare. 'I'm a grown man, the leader of a goddammned army, the most wanted man in the world and I still nearly pissed myself when I saw him...'
"Oi, who're you, old man? Why'd you jump on our ship?" Luffy demanded.
"I...er, I saw Vice Admiral Garp there and kinda panicked. Didn't mean to hop on your ship, really."
"You know Grampa Garp, old man? How? Who are you?"
"Luffy...I am your father"
No one understood why Taylor collapsed to the deck, laughing.
