One Piece Chapter 756 Discussion

Ciara said:
Franky not wanting to join till the end of the arc is solid argument but I'm still not seeing Rebecca, Viola or Kyros (that might be the silliest choice, actually, he's just shaped as the Tragic Avenger Wanting To Settle Down After His Revenge/Dying For His Cause so much it's not even funny). If there is something Viola and Rebecca would want, it's to rebuild the kingdom that went awry for so many years and catch up with lost time. Also it's too late for giving them a logical dream, I guess (wasn't Franky's dream stated somewhere during Water 7?). Also Viola's past isn't very thorough and Rebecca is overshadowed by her mother. Yeah, it's her tragedy as well, but it just seems that Scarlet's and Kyros' sorrow is more touched upon there.
Bartolomeo, as lovable as he is, is just a fanboy (:D) and that wouldn't go well with the Straw Hats (Chopper tends to fanboy nearly everyone in the crew but notice how toned down it is in comparison with Barty) and he also has his own crew. Bellamy... huh. Him joining would certainly add a shock value and... that's it? I just don't see why should he join.

Predictable reaction from a op fanboy.....

Actually Franky's dream wasn't stated until they were forcing him to join, he originally said it was to build a ship but that wasn't the whole truth. It was Iceberg that reminded Franky of his dream at the end of the arc.

Even though I personally find her kind of bland I got a vibe from the moment that she was introduced (Rebecca) that she would probably become a crew member.

Tellings someone to drop a series just because they talk negative about it is a fanboy logic. and since you're also a fanboy you're trying to convince yourself what a fanboy is not.

NenuserZodiac said:
@dr_dante One piece characters has never gotten any character development. They're static.

The story is repetitive same shit. everyone knows oda story pattern now. The series was good but now that's a thing of the past.

You guys only like the characters because they act goofy and stupid and it gives you guys humor.

why u feeding da troll, dante?

NenuserZodiac said:


They're all the same since chapter 1. please give me a character that has change. -_- If you don't think this series is repetitive then know series is repetitive.

dr_dante said:


if u talk about characteristics, then yes its the same since chapter 1. Even the FT Lucy, Erza behave now is also the same as they were since the beginning. is that makes them repetitive? hmm?
if you wanna talk about development since chapter 1, then you should realize Luffy now has gear techniques and Haki, Zoro's improved pound cannon, Sanji's Diable Jamble, Nami's weapon from bo-staff to clma tact, Chopper's gaining control of his monster mode, Brook's new soul solid technique, Usopp's plant-eating weapons, Robin's new gigantic leg stomp and Franky with his Shogun robot

Yeah, a 2 v 1 with her dad would be fine but her getting crushed and then Kyros finishes the battle would be a little lame. Especially with how awesome that final spread was, I think she deserves a good fight after it.

NenuserZodiac said:
Bullshit! Fairy tale characters get more development than one piece characters. I said character development not power development.

All I have to say is that they're more manga that are way better than one piece. Try toriko or hxh. You one piece fans only watch mostly one piece because it has gazzilion episodes. So you miss out on great series....

Ciara said:
I see, didn't remember that part clearly, thanks. But even then Franky was established as a new Straw Hat so firmly that it was just to make up for the quota: he already got a fight, he got a tragic past - the days back then when not everybody got one so it was a reliable indicator - he got some serious moments with the Straw Hats and so on.

Fullmetal89 said:

Lastly, if someone else is going to join the Strawhats at all after the time-skip(not counting Jinbei) I think it's going to happen towards the end of this arc. I'm convinced that no one else will officially join the crew if nobody joins after this arc. There's just too many candidates in this arc for not one of them to join. Biggest three being Viola, Rebecca and Kyros, as well as some dark horse candidates like Bartolomeo (highly unlikely) and Bellamy. Though my favorite is still Baby 5 but she has had little to no development in this arc unfortunately.

Hmm, actually I think it's worth mentioning that there were quite a few characters with sad flashbacks before then like: ChouChou, Laboon, Vivi, Wiper/Gan Fall/other Shandians, Montblanc Cricket, and a number of others.

Humza_96 said:
Yeah I wouldn't want Rebecca joining. She's annoying and is just fanservice, she adds nothing to the crew as she's not really that strong. Viola would be a useful member but I doubt she'll join.

Jinbei was one who I thought would definitely join. Having a fishman would have been useful to the crew especially as Jinbei is a former Schichibkai and insanely strong. He also has his own back story.


If Kyros was just a talking soldier (like I thought before lol) he'd have been a funny member to add.

Humza_96 said:


You've been reading One Piece long enough to know that no-one dies and that none of the Strawhats will kill their opponent. And anyways without the other members of Doffy's family Sugar is unguarded and not exactly a strong opponent. If someone can get the toys out of the way I'm pretty sure Usopp




LOL Yeah I was thinking the same thing. She'll put up a decent fight but get overpowered. Then Kyros is gonna save her.

Also Robin finally fights someone who's actually strong rather than the usual one hit minions. With Bartolomeo there she should be able to beat Gladius. I want Bartolomeo to join the Strawhats or at least be an ally.

I quite liked this chapter a lot better than the last few.

short_review said:


Hum. In all honesty I think we're gonna see them a lot in the future. I really think Momonosuke is someone important. Imo Momonosuke & Kinemon were close to the ruler of the kingdom of Wano. Then Kaido came and maybe took the kingdom for himself (?) and that's when Momonosuke witnessed something he shouldn't have seen.

That would explain why they were afraid when Luffy and the others talked about Kaido, why Dofla is interested in Momonosuke, why Momonosuke is quite sad, why he plays Shogun and why he has these strange visions of something asking him who he is.

Humza_96 said:
The least we can expect from the Wano Kingdom is that Zoro will finally get in a serious fight. It's a country full of samurai there has to be at least one powerful swordsman there. The first New World test for Zoro, everyone else he's fought are weaker than the baboons he trained with.

Ciara said:


But then again you don't see characters like ChouChou or Laboon joining the crew. Vivi was a massive red herring and that was intentional. Shandians and co. were given a flashback as a whole, which served to show their conflict and didn't focus on a single character's tragedy. Also by then it was proven it's all about the land and naturally none of them showed a desire to leave. Montblanc Cricket showed up back then when Straw Hat Crew consisted of young and/or beautiful people + Chopper as "and now for something completely different", so he didn't really fit. Also it was already said he was past his prime and Straw Hats piggybacked his dream of reaching Sky Island. Hancock on the other hand is just more valuable as a crew's friend and plot device with her position and influence (but that became clear later so I don't blame people for speculating about her inclusion to the group). And this is all with forgetting about the fact that Luffy actually goes his way and asks people to join when he's interested in them.

I can't think of other flashbacks but yeah, a lot of people in One Piece gets one to put more emphasis on their inner conflict/situation/insert relevant stuff here. It doesn't necessarily make them a candidate for a potential Mugiwara. That's why I also consider things like being helpful to the crew, how they interact with them, if they fit and so on. Also "the feel"/"the hunch". You could say that Rebecca kinda fits the bill but she doesn't have the "feel like a Straw Hat", if you know what I mean. That's the reason I'm not thrilled with idea of her joining.

HalibelTheEspada said:

Well, I agree... they are rather different situations. Although they've all been pretty diverse. And just for the sake of argument, Usopp's, Nami's, and Franky's (really all but Robin's and Brook's) pasts involved multiple characters who suffered, that are still alive. I'm just saying there's not always hard evidence on if they're going to join or not.

Ya know Robin can always bust a few nuts if she's fighting a man.

true. But she would probably reply with this.
