boa still givs off a Vivi flair. she doesnt seem like a worthy crew member now, but like people say, let's wait. whatever it is, Oda will pull it off well.
has there already been an atempt aty guessing what islands the others got onto? I agree with a previous poster who said that when Zoro and Kuma talked in private he was probably telling him about the crew's abilities/skills. and kuma used his knowledge of the first half of the grand line to find suiting islands to help the strawhats along. he did say farewell for a reason, possibly punishment for his treason?
nami: obviously will learn some cool wheather based tricks. lightning knot?
franky: genius' birthplace, island of the future. duh, he'll get some awesome upgrades for battle, similar to the dog we saw.
sanji: transvestite island. someone already theorised that the running will be training for strength. sure can well be. the fact that it's transvestites shows humour on zoro's or kuma's part, or maybe he will learn to overcome his fighting women thing. when there's a woman he is supposed to fight, cause she opposes the SH's he can just pull his memory of the TV's and go apeshit.
usopp: ranged-haki learning? he's already an expert shot, so what could be added?
zoro: likely something with abstract sword fighters who maybe deal with logia'neutralisation or something
robin: general fighting techniques/strenght training?
chopper: more medicine related techniques? much like in naruto, the soldier pill and similar things like choji's pills.
brooke: seeing as how these islands seem to go for very different, possibly highly specialised islands corresponding to the SH's character, I figure brooke will be sent to a music-fighting style island, or a scary island, where he might be taught to fight his own fear, and enforce it on others? like playing spooky music while attacking and making scary bone jokes. dunno, anything is open, but its a neat idea.
I apologise if this is being discussed elsewhere, or it has already been agreed to stop this theorising, but i find it highly interesting to ponder these questions. what are your ideas?
update: ah, found the thread
