Oda put's those "clues" a lot (you say it wasn't confirmed til 731, but to me it was ;p at 589). Also if you look at 589, at the same page; you realize Kunai's also alive... whahahaha. loool

Oda didn't say that, I'm pretty sure 'Luffy' himself, in the story, is the one who said that, perhaps somewhere near the beginning.

It was awhile ago though, so I guess it might be possible for him to have more than 10 'other' members, doubt it but I'm not gonna hold it against Oda if it happens.

We're struggling to keep the pace with just 9 members :). Just think how long an arc would be if we had like 20 member. Oh, God... A day in One Piece would take a year to write hahaha.
It's probably highly unlikely, the SH crew will make any new members from now on.
It's just Law...

Man... He didn't board the ship... (Jinbe, that is)
Just like Vivi. Vivi also said "next time will you let me sail out with you?". And the whole crew, show the X on their arm.
Jinbe also says, i have things left to do... And so he "didn't board" the ship....

1) Was it "trust" issue"? I mean if he just "believed" in Luffy, then he should've just gone with them; and trust in Luffy that he'll take care of Big Mom, right? Did Jinbe think Luffy can't take on Big Mom?
If that's the case, then he "definitely" can't be on SH ship.

2) Okay, this is more likely what happened... Which is, he was worried about Fishman Island... That after Luffy leaves, Big Mom would come and destroy it. (So basically even if he believed Luffy could defeat Big Mom. He thought If Big Mom comes without meeting Luffy on the way... Then Luffy won't have the chance to protect the Island)... Okay so this is the more likely... But what does this mean then? It means Jinbe's priority is: 1) Fishman Islan... then 2) SH crew.

Everyone on the SH crew has something pulling them forward. "Their dreams". But isn't Jinbe's dream just to "keep the Island safe"? That's what he's wished for whole his life; and what he has been doing all his life... So even thought he thinks he'll be able to "help out" Luffy after making sure Big Mom won't attack Fishman island. But that's just for now. I mean, even if he makes sure Big Mom isn't going to harm Fishman Island... Someone else will come out to threaten the Fishman Island. So Jinbe's hands will be tied... And that's okay, cause thats where his "heart lies".

Vivi -> to her country; Jinbe -> to his country; Rebecca -> to her dad. (Rebecca will probably just choose to live with her dad, and refuse to be the princess. Which will leave Viola the whole "responsibility" of being the "heir" to the country and stuff..)
They're all following "whats most important" to them at the moment. and that's that.. really...

Uh, if he was afraid of his hometown being destroyed that's completely legitimate, y'know how Nami stole money for Arlong regardless of the crew? More or less the exact same situation, and more accurate comparison than Vivi since it isn't actually his Kingdom(and vivi was never planning on joining anyway). And here we are, Nami in the crew since.


but he can always die if your hoping
edit: Better argument is that the King was considering putting the straw-hats flag on there in place of Big Mom.

and perhaps it will be there...after big mom is defeated? ;o I mean if/when that happens, it oughta have the same effect big mom's flag has...more or less.

It's same with Nami yes. But then, Nami had to "finally give in" and let Luffy take care of Arlong... Luffy was "waiting" for Nami to "admit" (to put Luffy first...to trust him) (he just slept until Nami asked for help) But look at what Jimbe's doing... He's trying to handle it himself..
So Nami joined after Luffy beat Arlong; but Jinbe won't join even after Luffy beat Hordy... First Hordy was threatening the island, next Big Mom, and next someone else will pop out.. New rookies etc. It will never end. He couldn't leave his island and come aboard, like Nami did.

Also Nami had another dream to draw the map of the whole world. Does Jimbe have anything like that? I haven't seen any.

And really the most important thing is. He is (super) old & boring guy... His power is "physical"... At least if he had the "puffer-fish" ability, he would be more funny omg. But his power's just "raw power"... And his character's always "conservative". He never "agree"s with Luffy's way of doing things. You can tell from the interaction they went through right before going to defeat Hordy. They even fought.... Jimbe's almost like an older brother to Luffy (im not talking about strength, just respect wise). Luffy don't need any "older-brother"s on his ship... Cause giving out orders to your elders would be kind of disrespectful, and "disobeying their wishes" (like it doesn't matter if Luffy ignores Nami/Ussop/Chopper warnings...) Anyway... There's lots of reasons why Jimbe should never "set sail" with the SH crew... But obviously he's still an SH crew member in heart. and a "reserve" member...

I think, they already put the Straw Hat pirate flag on there... But that's just for show... That doesn't mean anyone there is actual "SH crew member"; it just means the island is "under protection" of Luffy. And thats true, cause Luffy'll be really pissed if someone comes and dares to destroy the island he went through lots of trouble to save...

Nami absolutely tried to handle it herself too, by stealing treasures, there's nothing wrong with Jinbe trying to handle an issue without punching someone. This has nothing to do with trust. Luffy's probably going to defeat Big Mom in due time anyway, it matters not.

So Nami joined after Luffy beat Arlong; but Jinbe won't join even after Luffy beat Hordy... First Hordy was threatening the island, next Big Mom, and next someone else will pop out.. New rookies etc. It will never end. He couldn't leave his island and come aboard, like Nami did.

Hody is entirely irrelevant, it's Big Mom why he won't join. He straight out let Luffy handle the whole Hody issue himself even, since it wouldn't look nearly as good if he was the one to beat Hody(?). He didn't argue against him at all, I mean it's not like he declined because of Hody anyway, it was again...Big Mom.

Fishman Island seems to be a much more notable place than Orange Town anyway, the reason Fishman Island wasn't being attacked from the beginning was because of Whitebeard's flag...Whitebeard died, so Big Mom claimed it. And when Luffy defeats Big Mom, he can claim fishman island himself. That's the whole reason why he challenged her anyway IIRC.

Also Nami had another dream to draw the map of the whole world. Does Jimbe have anything like that? I haven't seen any.

Doesn't he want fishman and humans to be friends and stuffs? Maybe he can achieve that by travelling with humans or something? *shrugs*

also he's still going to die...I say there's 40% chance Jinbe dies, I can make bets.

And really the most important thing is. He is (super) old & boring guy... His power is "physical"... At least if he had the "puffer-fish" ability, he would be more funny omg.

He has a great gag of naming plans that don't need names, it was great. 8/10 gag
But his power's just "raw power"

Like Sanji?
And his character's always "conservative". He never "agree"s with Luffy's way of doing things.

Usopp thinks Luffy is crazy for jumping into danger all the time, bruh. Not to mention Usopp and Zoro in water 7 disagreed with moving on from Merry and Usopp rejoining easily, respectively.
You can tell from the interaction they went through right before going to defeat Hordy. They even fought....

Also something else Usopp did, what are the odds.

Jimbe's almost like an older brother to Luffy (im not talking about strength, just respect wise). Luffy don't need any "older-brother"s on his ship... Cause giving out orders to your elders would be kind of disrespectful, and "disobeying their wishes" (like it doesn't matter if Luffy ignores Nami/Ussop/Chopper warnings...)

Zoro's best display in perhaps the entire manga was in Water 7, and he was "older brother" to a T in that arc, remember? The whole Usopp joining thing? Usopp's relevant alot..

Now does he need two older brothers? *shrug*

I think, they already put the Straw Hat pirate flag on there... But that's just for show... That doesn't mean anyone there is actual "SH crew member"; it just means the island is "under protection" of Luffy. And thats true, cause Luffy'll be really pissed if someone comes and dares to destroy the island he went through lots of trouble to save...

Yeah, that's not what I meant. I meant they considering putting the flag there...in place of Big Mom's, hence the whole Big Mom destroying the island thing won't hold up.

That was "before" she joined... That's the whole point. We're "done" with Jimbei's story, but he still hasn't joined; so we can't go have "another drama" to make Jimbei join. He lost his chance... It has everything to do with "trust"... If he trusts Luffy, he would just leave, and believe in Luffy; that he'll take care of Fishman Island. But as it is, he is not only worried about Fishman Island, but also for SH crew. He thinks that they would get smashed by Big Mom's crew.

Hody's irrelevant? Hody was gona destroy Fishman Island, and Jimbei couldn't stop him... So he had Luffy stop him. But it's still not enough? Now Big Mom; later it will be "someone" "something" else. The old bastard's too worried for his island (that's all he's worried about).
[quote=ashfrliebert]

For like 1 chapter from 100 chapters he was in? ... He has "awful naming sense; that's why he should join; really?... :D

ashfrliebert said:
Like Sanji?

No Sanji has the "Power of the Ero's", thus he "burns" with passion. He can also "sense" when women he loves are in danger. Did i say he can go on fire? (Jimbei can't,He just pretends to hit; then Oda draws a shockwave for him after like 10 seconds have passed... It's not a "cool" power...) Also Sanji's fighting has "Full Table Course" :D. He can also "fly" sky-walk. He can change people's facial bone structure ;p Jimbei can't do any of that.
ashfrliebert said:

Okay the whole ordeal with "Merry" was different than just "disagreement". The core of the problem was not that Ussop disagreed with Luffy. It was that Ussop didn't "trust himself". but we can talk about that in a different place. So Nami/Ussop/Chopper always cry against Luffy, but once Luffy makes a decision, thats that. He's the cap. But Jimbe.. don't do that...
ashfrliebert said:

Also something else Usopp did, what are the odds.

Again Merry was a special case. While Jimbe just won't "budge"... Ussop does what Luffy tells him to do, everytime. (Merry was a special case) (also Ussop's actions were justified, when they all heard Merry's voice). If they knew Merry was alive, they would've all agreed with Ussop. But let's try not to talk about Merry for now...
ashfrliebert said:

Now does he need two older brothers? *shrug*

No, not at all. Luffy tells Zoro to do outrageous things... Zoro "never, ever" complains. The thing at Water 7 arc, is something Luffy understood. He didn't even argue with Zoro. He just had "forgotten" about it. what i mean "forgotten" is Ussop's "pride" issue. Cause they just got Robin back, and Merry was gone...; so they just thought Merry's gone so no problem Ussop coming with. But the other issue was Ussop's pride. And there was no "disagreement" on that.. (maybe just Nami/Chopper) They just weren't thinking about it, cause they were happy about getting their nakama back. Zoro merely reminded them.
ashfrliebert said:
Now does he need two older brothers? *shrug*

What I mean older brother, is telling him "how to do" things... The way Luffy does things is "very selfish". And althought Ace/Sabo didn't "stop" Luffy; they also never "followed" Luffy. They did what they thought they should do for Luffy. They didn't do "what Luffy thought" they should do. You see the difference here?
For example, like before Water 7 arc, they meet Aokoji. When they start fighting Luffy "orders" them to back down. And Sanji/Zoro without 1 word does so. If it were Ace/Sabo/Jimbe; they wouldn't do that. Of course they want the "best" for Luffy and what not. But they won't do what "Luffy thinks" they should do. They''ll do what "they think" they should do for Luffy. Both cases, they all "love" Luffy. But it's different than just to be "friends" and "nakama" (be under 1 ship). Cap is Cap. Without a Captain, a pirate crew won't hold up (like Zoro said).

Omg, so basically Zoro and I would agree that Jimbe can't join :D. But the problem's really in Jimbe's hands. If he decided to "let go" of all his worries and "what he thinks is best"; to decide to follow "what Luffy thinks is best". Luffy asked him to come, he said "Nah. But can i do it later". So basically said "no for now". Luffy wanted him then, Jimbe thought "otherwise"... They didn't "agree" see? Luffy don't "force" anyone to join. But you can clearly see "what Luffy wanted". (cause he asked..)

I hope they get all captured. It makes a more interesting story.

The chances of that happening are practically 0%


^Second that, I mean not even fate wanted Luffy to be caught, always rolling 1 for fujitora when he was asleep. So for fate to roll a 6, luffy and co must be well enough to make a decent escape.

And LOL! Sengoku is so chill now! XD Pretty sure he understands how Garp feels now, all the freedom and joyfulness and whatnot. But damn, if Sengoku turned into Garp, I'd imagine Garp sulking away, blaming himself for Ace's death, especially after Dadan's speech.

Luffy eating, sleeping, being awake, and hurrying all at once XD new skill acquired!! or should it be skillS ? Bet he is going to make a speech to rebecca and probably the king, and indirectly mark Dressrosa as his territory.

Kyros, Rebecca, Bellamy, or Violet for Straw Hat? Hmm...

Perhaps Violet because she's a dancer and every Straw Hat member has some sort of hobby/profession.

This particular female Marine seems to be the the previous owner of Tashigi's sword, Shigure.
Tsuru used to have the same dark blue hair Tashigi does, so I wonder if they're related or at least Tashigi was personally trained by Tsuru's fleet.

Wow cool dude... I don't know about Tsuru/Tashigi relationship, but that marine just "has to" be related to Tashigi somehow. She was probably a "mentor" to Tashigi huh? But if Tashigi has her sword, that means the marines dead or something (highly probably). So she should come out in Tashigi flash-back, to somewhat level.
Oda doesn't do "random" things like that. That's awesome dude. It's "totally" the same sword. Oda pays lots of attention to his "katana collection". Kunai's katana is not just any katana. It's the Mei-to Shigure.

As i was looking for Mei-to Shigure's name, i look up katana's in One Piece wiki. And Zoro's katana is one of the "Great Grade" (level vise), called "Wado Ichimonji". It's on par with the Wano Kingdom's "Legendary" Shusui.

How did Kunai have that great of a sword? I hear Oda is somewhat "Samurai-story" fan. He has history writing samurai stories. And also have been "planning" for Wano Kingdom (in OP) for a while. So there's no way Zoro got that sword from Kunai "just because"... Otherwise Zoro would die so fast, Oda gave him a "super sword" at the beginning... There has to be an "explanation" and back-story. Don't you think?
If it was her dad's, i don't think he would've given it to her at such a young age. So it must have been her "mother"'s; and given to her when she died. Just having that "crazy super sword" who was Kunai's mother; who was the dojo master? He just gave away 10,000,000 belly sword away to a kid? (he's not greedy) Just who was he?
Who thinks there'll be more "explanation"s and back-story to Kunai/her dad???

Am i the only one? Especially the fact Oda, wouldn't just leave Wado Ichimonji in someone random's hand. It like one of the top twenty something swords in One Piece world...

Exactly this.... why are people acting like every fiber of Law's being from the day he was born has been solely to stop Doflamingo for Corazon. I think it's dependant on the translation... but I don't see anywhere that Law says outright that he never actually intended on beating Kaidou. Even where he suggests it, I think it's just trying to convince Luffy that he doesn't owe him anything, and not speaking entirely truthful.

And like Hiroyuuki just said... the Heart Pirates have been no where to be seen this entire arc. If that wasn't all part of another plan, then why in the middle of the battle against Doflamingo, would Law send 4 of the Straw Hats off to pick up his crew on some other island? He had to have known they wouldn't get there and back by the time all of this was over... so he clearly already had something set-up for some other goal (namely going after Kaidou, just judging by where the Curly Hats landed) after everything wrapped up on Dressrosa.

Commentator1 said:
nah, WB traveled together. I think they got 4 ships "just for the war" (maybe not). But even if they all had 4 ships. They were all 4 ships. All WB ships right? and they all traveled together.

What I mean when i say "allies" is like the 42 pirate groups to WB. WB's crew consisted of 12 (13?) Commanders, each leading a dozen or less people. Which makes it about 100 (in numbers). The SH crew won't go big like that... So different right? SH allies won't put SH flag... That's what I'm saying man. That's what im saying...
I disagree about the ships... it wouldn't even make sense for them to make 3 ships for that single incident... if nothing else due to time constraints... everything was announced on the fly, I really doubt that they were like "What!? Ace is being executed today!? Let's have 3 gigantic warships made real quick!". And in addition to that I think if they really only ever used 1 ship before, I think suddenly splitting them into 4 would make them weaker.

Another thing is you're very off about their numbers... there were 16 division commanders, each who were said to command 100 men. That makes 1600 members, not 100. I think the very purpose in having division commanders was so that they could have some organization, and if they didn't each have their own ships, I don't think there would be much way to pick them apart and say "alright you're under my jurisdiction here, and no one else's."

I definitely agree about the Straw Hats not getting that big though... it doesn't seem their style at all.

Yeah...no, as someone mentioned, he was annoyed that rebecca and kyros relationship is being kept a secret...so he's going to reveal it to everyone. I am certain this is what's going to happen, wanna bet?

It's been made a point throughout pretty much the whole arc that Rebecca is a princess instead of fighter. Why would she ever join?[/quote]Lol why are you challenging my statement like I was opposing your thoughts? If nothing else, I agree that seems like a sound theory. My bad if my side-note statement seemed like a hardass, unwavering resolution.

If you payed attention to my other comments at all though, you would clearly see where I'm constantly saying "I don't want Rebecca to join, I think it's incredibly unfitting for her to join." Hell in that exact same post you just responded to, I said just that and more.

I would much prefer that guy's theory over mine, just at the time I couldn't think of anything else. Despite what it may seem, I actually don't know everything. (I just know what I know.)

That's connected to Ceaser/ and Momonusuke. For some reason, Dofla wants to "capture" Momonosuke. We also see the "samurai girl" on Kaido's island. So there's definitely something "fishy" going on there. My guess is that Momonusuke and that girl are siblings; and they must somehow possess "special kind of blood" or something that Dofla and Kaido want... And the girl obviously was kidnapped, and Momo/Kinemon/Kanjuro going to save them (well gona try). That's another reason Momo/Kinemon were "surprised" (after leaving Punk Hazard) to hear that Law and Luffy had agreed on defeating Kaido. So just in case Luffy/Law got chewed out by Dofla; that was Law's insurance, to make sure to make Kaido come get Dofla (Ceaser = DF fruit = Kaido's plan; Kaido pissed = Whoever at the end of Kaido's rage dies...) :D (Kaido's 1 crazy dude... He can't even die. He's raging. He don't give a shit to anything no more lol)

Well, we know that the "main-ship" had more than just the commanders. Cause 1 we see BB eating with Ace. Also when BB killed Tachi (ex-4th division Commander); they were on the same ship. Either they were on the "main-ship"; or the WB's have multiple ships. Also when Shanks come aboard, there's lots of members. And its a big ship anyway.
So yeah, if there's 1600 of them; that's fine; cause really my point was that "official SH members" will stay under something like 20. 20 is at max, and that's including "reserve" members like Vivi/Jimbei. Each arc, Oda will have to make each SH member go through each of their journey. So too many enemies back-story etc. Unless it stays somewhere around 10 (which is still pretty high...).

If you payed attention to my other comments at all though, you would clearly see where I'm constantly saying "I don't want Rebecca to join, I think it's incredibly unfitting for her to join." Hell in that exact same post you just responded to, I said just that and more.

Yes. Rebeca's not even a fighter... Why on earth she should be on SH ship? right? Anyone who thought there was the "slightest chance" must not be an One Piece fan... And the most important thing is Rebeca's dream is to "live with soldier-san"... That's what she's going to do. Not become a SH member. Not become the princess (Viola will). But to live with Kyros... That's her dream.

Well Luffy already claimed that "Law was a nakama", so after a little drama; Law will officially join... You can wait for it; or take my word for it... Either way, it's gona happen, no matter what.

"Either way, it's gona happen, no matter what."

That's not gonna happen, no matter what. Why? Because one piece is mainly about nakamas. I'll let you mull it over. But nothing is really certain. I'm just matching your assertive claim.

Haha. You'll have to explain: "Because One Piece is mainly about nakamas", line to me a little more; if you want me to mull over it...

Otherwise, I'll just think you misunderstood what i said, and move on...

No, don't think that. It makes me look bad. I suggest think me mysterious. That's way cooler. 😎😎😎😎

A'ight, you can move on.🙋

no rly i didnt know lol.. but anyway, i remember an Oda interview too where he said they'd only have a dozen of members, but there is my main problem with that part.. like.. how the hell are so few even gonna compete with any younko?

it just confuses me so much to find a way that the straw hats would be able to beat any younko without a decent amount of men.. ok, allies, but then again, how many men do the younko have each and how many allies..? its just the same result in the end, so i rly can't see them beating a younko without enough men..

Okay, there you go... You are saying that yourself now: "Oda said"... If Oda said it already...

http://opforum.net/showthread.php?tid=6501

I think the implication of many new nakama can imply that Oda can freely break the limit of 10. Of course, he can just make two members join successively, but that really only means "at least two", I think he can fairly go beyond that limit if he wants.

I'm also pretty sure Luffy said "about ten or so guys would do" anyway(chapter 2 I think), which seems to have been done to allow him to not limit himself by too much anyway.

I still hope Law isn't joining, considering he's a rival and all...but hey w/e happens, happens.

not to mention Robin fits the straight-man anyway, albeit is (gagged to be) slightly crazy with the whole occasional morbid-comment gag.

nice, didn't see that interview yet, so that's another possibility too huh.. well, lets hope (in my case at least) that bellamy and bird-kun join in the coming chapters and law only after they defeated the younko then ;p 1 of both of them and viola would be nice too though..
but i can see sanji meeting bird-kun for the first time though, smth like: 'luffy why bring such an ugly bird for dinner?' would be fun and ofc chopper's scared face XD

Many people seem to make a confusion between "i like this character" and "this character meets all the criterias to become a crewmember"

:/

For example I don't like Bellamy that much, but with this arc he became the most believable new crewmember.

I'd prefer Law but Law has already a crew and I can't really see Law working under Luffy.

Nice to see Sengoku considerably less tense after stepping down as Fleet Admiral. Wonder where Luffy is going? To Rebecca?

Luffy should go to Rebecca and not fight the marines. Seriously, he needs more rest!

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!
