No, Luffy was not included. When Mr.Oda was young he's favorite sport is soccer, that's when he learn the important of teamwork. So the Straw Hat Pirates was meant to be a soccer team(total 11 people).


Wow, I never thought of the Straw Hats as a soccer team, that definitely makes sense.

So I tried to place each Straw Hat in their position on a soccer team. Three forward attackers (Luffy, Zoro, Sanji). Three midfield attackers who can switch to defense (Franky, Robin????, Brook????). Four Defense man (Chopper????, Usopp???, Nami???, ????). And a Goalie (Chopper?????).

Oh, and I think Momonosuke will be the next to join as a cabin boy.

they need another female. Rebecca and Violet are great candidates.

But look at this:

Luffy, Go Mu = 5 6
Chopper, Hi To = 1 10
Robin, Ha Na = 8 7
Brook, Yo Mi = 4 3

In Order to make it complete we need 2 and 9 which are "ni" and "kyu"
Ni Kyu = Batholomew Kuma

OMG

there is no way that kuma would join
maybe it's reversed 9 and 2

In other forums nd in dicussions I've had up until now I kind of see a lot of poeple rooting for Leo .. And I don't dislike this idea! I mean he is difderent from everyone else, has a devil fruit power, and is quite powerful!

If it comes to me then I definitely would side with Jinbei! I don't have any reason for that, I just want him to join ^^

But what if the next member would be someone from the bad people they have encountered or will eventually encounter .. All of the current members were "good" (Robin wasn't really evil, neither Franky) it would be sth else if an "evil" one would join them after they fight/fought him/her .. someone like Crocodile fe. :D ..

The dwarf with the sewing fruit. We don't know much about him, but I have read some nice theories about him being used to counter Doflamingo's fruit.

Rebecca is the most well-positioned at this point, with a main focus, a tragic past and Luffy rooting for her; but I'm not at all convinced. She doesn't have any outstanding trait that could make her stay in the ship dynamic. And her dream doesn't involve being a pirate. We'll see.

As for actual preferences, I'm still fanboying Wicca (and about any dwarf). She's at a key point now, though. Depending on how things develop in the current front she will have a chance or not.

Bartolomeo... I would totally like to see him too, but it's very unlikely. Mainly, because he has his own pirate crew (and is very defensive about it), but also because if he ever gets in the ship, the character should have experienced a change. Currently, he admires the Straw Hats and believes that he is unworthy of being among them; if he doesn't change that view at the point of joining, he wouldn't be a full member in the same conditions as the rest.

What about Cavendish? He's my favorite among the new characters. And it would make sense since when he sleeps he suddenly(kyū ni) change personality. And if I'm right and his voice actor is Ishida Akira, the crew would be perfect.

Why not? Do you think Sabo should form his own crew like Ace and Luffy both did? Or stay with the Revolutionaries?

I think when they were kids they promised that they would have their own crew, but some things changed since then. Ace became Shirohige's bitch and then died o.O. So, I don't see a problem with Sabo joining the Mugiwara.

The problem about Violet is that if she joined then we would have 2 Nico Robin in the crew. Seriously they are basically the same character. The soldier isn't going to join as a toy like that. All the others make more sense than Sabo, at this point, that is. But why are people talking about Jinbei? He's the 9th already.

There's no way Sabo would work under Luffy, because he's like Ace, an older brother to Luffy...I won't bother typing it all, but I think it's evident just from that Sabo won't just stand and listen to Luffy's orders, also it's doubtful Luffy would be able to command Sabo as he pleases. And he's with the revolutionaries, I think this is in a way perfect: they all went to sea and found separate ways to fight against this world which is against their sense of freedom. Luffy was always fighting through like a pirate, Ace was always fighting against his own monsters in his head and his lineage, and he could've been a warlord also, while Sabo, who experienced the unfairness of the world hierarchy became a Revol.

Well... a 3rd one won't hurt. ;) I thought Brooke wouldn't be able to join because he was also a swordsman, though he is technically a thrust and stab fencer rather than a hack and slash swordsman like Zoro, and oh... Kinemon is also a hack and slash swordsman. XD

So maybe Kinemon might join or maybe not?

I have to agree. If Ace refuses to work under Luffy or Sabo, then neither will Sabo work under Ace or Luffy. Plus he has his own nakama now, the Revolutionary Army with a cause that he most likely believes in strongly. I just can't see him leaving his comrades nor abandoning those beliefs.

An steadfast ally is a stronger possibility.

I agree - Violet probably wouldn't join, though it would be interesting if she did. I can see how she would fall head over heels for Sanji (he deserves a girl after all the torturous treatments he's been getting from Oda XD), and so whenever Sanji flirts with Nami and Robin, she would stab him. It would be hilarious. lol

Jimbei is... interesting. I like him and I do like the idea of him becoming an SH member. But my gut feeling tells me rather than joining the SH directly as a crew member, he'll probably a fast "ally" of the SH like those other strong pirate crews loyal to Whitebeard, but not directly part of his crew. After all, Luffy did say he would want to make Fishman island "his territory", which is pretty similar to what Whitebeard did.

And this setup might foreshadow Luffy building up "allying armies" for each island or kingdom he rescues, which will be perfect for setting him up to be a "Yonkou" and then eventually the "Pirate King". And plus Jimbei might want to take up the cause and continue a crew similar to the Tiger Fisher pirates.

kiDnameDSkia said:

We have Rebecca for that already ;). But I guess Kinemon might ally themselves with the Straw Hats for a while and then go back to his kingdom after he's finished.

And then he'll end up as one of those "allying armies" siding with Luffy that I mentioned in the post above.

She makes a lot more sense than you think. Considering the mysteries around her backstory and her ties with Akainu and the Marines. Seems like an Arlong/CP9 type dynamic in the making there.

That's a good point you make here. As posted in the OP chapter 736 discussion I don't think OP will end Luffy being Pirate King (somehow he's too young for that). He will replace one of the Yonkou for sure, but that's it. Although I would really like Jimbei to join them. Having the strongest fishman in your crew, I mean what is better when it comes to fights in open water. Having DF users on board, which he can easily rescue if they fall into the sea. And it's a symbol of friendship between humans and fishman.

Then again I'm not sure. Fishman Island has to come in play one more time because of Noah and I think we will see the rise of fishman on land. Not sure if Jimbei has not to stay on the island to prepare this event in the future. A lot of posts here now even let me doubt if Sabo would join Luffy. Violet would be really interesting cause of her DF power, but she really looks like a Robin clone.

Well we know that with finding One Piece and becoming the pirate king you will figure out the secret that could start a war. And Oda said there'll be a huge war that will put Marineford to shame. He will probably become the pirate king and then the war will start.

Noah and the prophecy. I think after the fishmen leave fishmen island on Noah, Luffy will have to destroy the island to keep it from coming into enemy hands or some other strategic thing(or possibly to make sure the fishmen's resolve is clear, they have no home left, now they have to make on in the sun like the queen wanted).

Jinbei already said he'll join one day and like the already 9 crew member he has a strong characterization and a good backstory. Every important character needs to really stand aside from the others.

I'd like to see a new female character join, but as most female character are used for fan service she wouldn't really look different from Nami and Robin.

I could think of 1 or 2 women I liked

Perona's look stand aside from other women due to her make up and her power is hilarious, but she lacks a good backstory, and a dream like Luffy's crew members.

Monet was a bird of snow and due to her relation to Doflamingo she could have had a good backstory and a dream but unfortunately she is dead it seems.

Oh god no, he is like the male version of Boa Hancock. Funny side character but would get really annoying having him as a permanent member.

Even though I don't absolutely love her character, I still think the leading contender is Rebecca. If she gets the Mera Mera some how then I'm going to be 99.99% sure that she will be the next crew member. I don't think Kinemon or his son count since they are just hitching a ride, and quite honestly we already have a bushido sword master on the ship we don't need another one. Especially one that overlaps both Zoro's character and Sanji. For a while I was thinking it would be Thunder Soldier but he's got no goal outside of returning his kingdom to it's rightful king. I don't think Viola would join she strikes me as a Vivi character. I highly doubt anyone from Don Q's group will join up and pull a Robin. I'm almost 100% sure that neither Sabo nor Law will join since they lead their own groups.

So in my opinion I think it's either going to be Rebecca or nobody. Then again it could be someone totally unexpected which would not surprise me. I mean this is Oda we are talking about. He surprised the hell out of me with the Brook/Laboon connection, so I wouldn't put anything past him.

Lol a whole arc literally out of nowhere. When I read Shanks-daughter at first I had something like *joins SHs in order to take revenge on BB for his fathers death* on my mind

But I guess that would be too much bullshit piling up on Blackbeard, and a bit too much cliché.

I still think BB will be responsible for Shanks death/defeat somehow (more than Luffy, atleast)

I think that someone new will join at the end of dressrosa arc,and that he/she (pref she) will take Ace's mera mera no mi. This way the new char will have some kind of relationship with luffy. Luffy said that he doesn't want someone random to have Ace's fruit, this will solve that problem. Since I don't see someone else in the crew take it.



On the other hand, I'm also hoping that Sabo will join and take Ace's power, but I don't see that happening tbh.

Also I think that Rebecca is going to be like Vivi and stay behind in her country.

It may just be me but I also want to see Jinbe join and have the straw hats make Bartholomew a division/ally of the Straw hats. that way Luffy can start taking over islands and should another pirate attack them, he could leave Bartholomew behind to protect them. I think it would be really cool if luffy took over the whole new world, it seems fitting for the future king of the pirates.

I know this is rather specific but I have a feeling that the next crew member will be Rebecca. The only thing important in Rebecca's life right now is Soldier (aka her father). Rebecca is one of five people who might get the flame-flame fruit. Of those 5 people, two of them will give it to Luffy or someone Luffy has input in choosing (Sabo and Barto). Rebecca is already developing a friendship with Luffy and respect for him. I have a feeling after her father is released from being a toy he's going to die protecting her. Rebecca, using the flame fruit is going to get back at Doflamingo in some way where the authorities take note of her. After she becomes infamous she joins the crew. Wala, tenth crew member! Also, going with elements, Nami is best known for her lightning, wind and water in that order. Robin has the flower flower fruit which is closest to earth. Adding a third female with fire wouldn't be that bad of a mix. And lets face it, Robin and especially Nami need help in the big battles with the Navy.

I would so much love if Bon-chan could somehow become a nakama. I mean we don't actually know if he's dead or not, plus he has helped the mugis in MAJOR ways two or three times now..

But if we somehow rule that one out, I think Sabo.

SPOILER ALERT:
As manga readers would know (I don't read it btw) Sabo has returned and we'll see that in the arc the anime is at now. I think this maybe the flag we were looking for. Sabo will join the crew after years of being without a crew.

(I don't really know much about the manga. So my facts are based on the very little details I know from people who read it.)

So that's it. While Sabo maybe the most plausible answer right now, I would much prefer if Bon-chan is somehow alive and well and would join the crew in the future. :D

I also think it's Rebecca.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

I really don't think that Sabo will join. Even though it would be kinda nice to get another member who can actually fight and of course just because he's Luffy's brother.
However at this point we pretty much know, that he was with the revolutionaries all this time and it fits him perfectly. He won't leave them to be with Luffy or to be a pirate.
He always had a problem with nobles and the government, so he wanted to be a pirate. However revolutionaries fit his ideas even better.
Besides that he could have tried to meet or at least contact Luffy a long time if he really wanted to join his crew.

I don't think Rebecca is going to join either. She seems more like Vivi type, who's going to be a good friend only.

My best bet would be Bartolomeo. We're certain to see his background story sooner or later and he clearly wants to be with Luffy.

But honestly I'm not even sure if anyone is going to join them in this arc.

As much as I want another woman in the Straw Hats, Rebecca is royalty so I think she'll just end up a friend o' the Straw Hats just like Vivi back in Alabasta.

Jinbei, well, I think hes gonna die before he can make it to the crew :( I just cant imagine Ace being the only loss Luffy has to experience on his way to the Pirate King.

I had really hoped Monet wouldve betrayed Doflamingo and joined just because she was awesome. I mean a goddamn Harpy Snow Woman, is there a more fitting crew than the Straw Hats for her? Whats more she was smart and brutal! Oh it wouldve been nice :( :( :(

Bartolomeo cant join because, despite his girl-ish affection of the Straw Hats, hes the kind of guy who willingly kills. A trait none of the Straw Hats share, and whats more, he doesnt mind killing civilians.

Sabo would make sense seeing as theyre brothers but as children they all decided to become their own captains so that nullifies his chance in my book. And as Quinius says, the Revolutionaries fits Sabo so much better.

Violet cant join either because, like Rebecca, shes royalty and she seems rather infatuated with Sanji and we already know Oda doesnt want romance among the Straw Hats so shes a nope.

At this point I put all my hopes on Jewelry Bonney. Yes, she holds a grudge against Luffy because of the Tenryuubito incident but shes also after the one whos responsible for Whitebeards death, which could be none other than Teach, right? So that would make them allies at the very least. I also believe she may the daughter of Whitebeard because of her sorrow during his final moments. So given Whitebeard's own respect for Luffy, I think she has the best chance of joining.

That is a very original choice! Just imaging though! Having Luffy and Jewlery Bonney on the same ship would require Sanji to work nonstop cooking for them. They might even have to fill the library with grub;)

I was against having more female crew, but after reading the last chapter, I want Sugar! Bartolomeo or CC would be great too, though.
