While Keimi may not be physically strong, she could prove useful because she can swim very fast. She could quickly save anyone that falls off the ship. Still after some thought, I've realized she, Hachi, and Pappag won't join. They don't have a dream they could accomplish by going with the SHs. IIRC they're living their dreams already.
Next Crew Member Speculation (Ver 3.0)
-
-
Could someone refresh me on the reasons we disqualified Jinbei? Or was it just because he's too damn powerful?
As of now I see possible candidates as
Hancock:
Broken power has been fixed in the past, see Robin, but Hancock is a bit much. Almost anyone is vulnerable to her attack, and plus she has political responsibility, like the one that restrained Vivi.Caimie: Rather weak, can barely move on land, would have to be in the ship mainly to be plausible. Also, no fighting ability, not even a weak one that could be developed later (see Nami).
Hachi: His history with Nami is easily excusable, but the fact that 2 swordsmen already exist, plus his second occupation is just Takoyaki makes Hacchi rather a weak candidate.
Rayleigh: No. You know what? Just no. Go away. Go die.
Jinbei: The main opposing argument is either overpowered, or is a shichibukai. Being a shichibukai in Jinbei's case really isn't much, it doesn't seem like he's in it for the prestige or anything. His power is rather alarming, if we're using bounty as an indication. I see him as a guide at best, though if he became a crewmember I would be totally stoked. The crew has no giant/ogre/brute. Franky is more based on his built in weapons, and strong hammer is like a finishing move. I'd like to see a fishman with a hand-to-hand style.
Bentham- As plenty have noticed, kazuki yao already voices Franky. The two voices next to each other would be easily noticable. Group outbursts would probably be the most obvious violation of this.
Inazuma- Didn't really think about it, but yeah, a possible new member. Seems odd to introduce him/her (weird jawline changing) and give him/her lines and then suddenly cut to Ivankov.

I don't think that ability is enough to qualify her for a crewmate. In most situations, it won't help her out at all and she'd end up as a deadweight. Besides, the other straw hats have already proven that they're capable enough swimmers to rescue the DF users in the crew.

I'm not voting for Bentham but people need to stop bringing this up.

In the case of Family Guy though, the characters have noticeably distinct voices. Mr. 2 and Franky on the other hand, have extremely similar voices. The only significant difference is that Mr. 2 has a campier delivery.
Anyway, might as well address my thoughts on the others…
Camie, Hachan, etc.: Nope. Hachan's already living his dream, Camie's dream has nothing to do with sailing around the world, plus the Sabaody Arc taught us that she'd be useless and pretty much helpless on land.
Rayleigh: No. He said he wishes to live in peaceful retirement.
Hancock: The day she'll join is the day she performs good deeds from the bottom of her heart, and out of genuine concern for her people and others around her. In other words, not anytime soon.
-
Didn't they change Jango's voice on that dance special??? I know it was a one time thing but y not do it again?
Caimie is weak…extremely weak to me for that matter but she could be a very useful person if she joins. Talking to fishes, Fastest swimmer, good designer etc. basically a cabin girl lol but from what we've seen we don't need weaklings right now since high tier opponents are coming.
I don't care if its Hancock or Jinbei as long as I see a shichibukai on board the sunny. It would totally look badass on Luffy's resume to have a former shichibukai on his crew. As for the merman nakama...someone with a weird fishman karate wouldn't hurt.
LOL Rayleigh...no

I completely agree. Having a shichibukai is his crew would make Luffy look totally badass. Having a princess of a country join his crew would also be great but Viv had to go and ruin that :getlost:
-
Vivi was useless as well, all she did was crying out loud.. pf
Another fact for camie is that even she is a mermaid and she a very fast swimmer, she rly sucks big time.. i mean wtf? she is a half-fish, half-human with the fastest known swimming ability and she always get caught.. the only purpose she could server would be to make fillers or the episodes after arcs funnier, end of discussion . Papagaa, Hachii and Camie are partners.. it would fit only for camie to leave them .. since luffy would protect her more and stuff and it would be like a sorter version of Franky's joining but still .. i rly doudt. -

Since Oda will definitely mold the story to fit a voice actor… I personally think Mr. 2 is a shoe in. Friends? Check. Strong, but not overpowered? Check. Awesome as hell? Double check. Dream? ... well, I guess so.

Besides, she had the potential to get stronger and improve like Nami or Ussop. Nami spent the whole Arlong Park arc crying also didn't she?
Caimie on the other hand is just way too weak right now, and I don't see any potential in her to get stronger.
-
mr 3 and buggy will join Alvida crew…
Frankey will leave the strawhats... HE GOT BLUEZ HAIRZ?!
-
Well Vivi wasn't THAT weak…she had enough power to have a single digit status in Baroque Works.
She had connections.
-
-
@Rue:
Rofl .. u think ? Because of her status, they treated her better..
No. I think that Igaram used connections and money in order to get the rank they did.
-
it was a joke that she was in the baroque works organisation….....also what do you mean money and connections? i seriously doubt this would be allowed as the number structure was based on strength, that's it. its more likely she beat the original miss Wednesday and took her position....after all its obvious that all the people below number five were just pointless fodder that were barely above average strength???
-
The next nakama should be female and a Gyojin (Fishman or better Fishwoman).
I wish Oktapako would join.
(BTW: If you don't know Oktapako, just look at this:
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/212/01/)
But she had to change her mind if that should happen.
After all she has a bad attitude (treated Hacchi like trash and so on…)
Maybe there are more nice Fishwomen at Gyojin Island who could join.
Don't like the idea of Hancock/Jimbei joining. To me Jimbei is just disappointing.
Hope that Oda somehow manages to change my mind about him. -

I'm sure the next nakama is gonna be female. I'm crossing my fingers for Hancock. I just wanna see how Sanji would react to her, especially after being on Okama Island with no women XD -
Having a princess of a country join his crew would also be great but Viv had to go and ruin that :getlost:
you are forgetting the mermaid princess…endless possibilities in this series...
-
For some strange reason, I just feel like Buggy will join. Maybe it's just me and about how I love when suckass villains become kickass heroes. Maybe he's better at being a good guy? Plus, where is he gunna go? His crew is gone, but he has the map to John's treasure. Perhaps his dream would be to find Captain John's treasure, but also to be reunited with his crew. Sure, he's pretty weak but being a splitman is really useful and all that. Maybe he'd be the crew's powdermonkey, seeing his facinations with cannons and stuff, until he meets up with his crew.
I want Bentham to join but I can't think of a job for him out of battle, plus he's already met Iva-san. He's kickass and stuff but I don't know.
I think someone from Fishman Island that knows a bit of fishman karate would come in handy. We already have Franky and Brooke who are like Luffy and Zoro with a few tricks but not for Sanji. I'm not saying that it has to be, but it would be….neat.

you mean apart from his amazing df abilities that allow him to be covert:ninja:
and gain information or impersonate powerful people??????Bon clay rocks

@John:

True, not many ships have a personal spy/scout kind deal…I think? It's very hard to get to the powerful people without being caught. The most powerful people will have powerful gaurds. Especially when the recently infamous Straw Hats are going that way. Bon Clay does indeed rock. I will be all for Bentham if a new dream pops up, for sure.
-
yeah that's what I thought the first time after the Alabasta arc…I thought that it was such a waste of an awesome DF if they won't use it again...apparently Oda did bring Bon Clay back. Plus it will be pretty damn useful for a crew where everyone is wanted and everyone knows what they look like...well they still have Brook but we know that Brook can never be discreet plus Kizaru now saw Brook and can probably get info from Moria or something and make the connection to his old poster.
-
I think, after watching the new opener, that hancock's boobs are perfect for the crew.
-
It's very hard to get to the powerful people without being caught. The most powerful people will have powerful gaurds.
He managed to get close enough to a KING (who would be considered a powerful person) to use his powers. So it's a given he's trained in covert-ops in getting close, neutralizing a target, and taking their place with no one the wiser.
As for him joining…it's possible, but I like the idea of that chick Okama (not Iva). Her design just...fits the Strawhats, with sometimes obscure and unsual character desgins.
-
according to the recent manga, my speculations of future nakama are.
Jinbei - lots of info that would lead us all to think he will join, or atleast be a huge part of the next arc. I dont see him joining considering how big he is/personality, he just really doesnt look like he would mesh in with the other straw hat members, notice how every single member (except robin mostly) seem to be similar and have similar personalities somewhat.
http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/b/b1/Jimbei.png
Look how BIG that mofo is, could you really see him staying on the sunny? he wouldnt even fit through a door on the sunny, let alone have his own room, it just doesnt work together seeing him joining the crew.
Bentham/Bon Clay A member I could possibly be seeing as joining, him helping Luffy out and doing all those favors for him seem to make it work out. Plus he seems to fit in with the other crew members, hes already considered a friend among all of the SH crew and his abilities would come in handy for the crew. Personally I dont really see him joining, I think he would want to serve under Iva because hes mentioned many times how much he admires him and respects him. Plus he fits in with Iva and everyone around Iva (transvestites). I could easily see him staying behind to work with Iva in every way possible. I think of course he'll be a major part of the finishing of this arc, and Iva will play a huge role aswell. So for him, I see him as the second most probable joining.
EDIT: I also see people talking about his voicing of Franky as well, He hasnt appeared in the anime itself right? so if they WANT they could easily find someone who could manipulate his voice very closely, the fact that he hasnt shown up in like 200 episodes (wild guess, sorry if im off). Will make MOST people forget his voice so it will be like "oh its bon clay sweet" but MOST people wont be thinking "what the hell, his voice is completely different, that pisses me off, I will stop watching one piece".
IMO voices arent that much of a big deal unless its someone who already plays a big role (IE: luffy, zoro, anyone in the SH crew). If Bentham does join, he'll probably have a different voice actor which really isnt a big deal at all unless your a baby, as long as the show stays awesome I really dont care that much who the voices are.
Inazuma Im with her pretty much on the same level with Bentham, she already serves under Iva, and seems to have done it for a long time (seeing as she looks as if shes second in command or the right hand of Iva). She showed major intrest in Luffy and Bentham by saving them and taking them back, plus the fact that Luffys haki didnt affect her proves that she is very strong, (probably around the same level as Kidd, Zoro, Luffy, and whoever else was in the auction house when Rayleigh did the haki burst) but then again Rayleigh is obviously way stronger than Luffy so Luffys burst might not have been THAT strong in comparison.
I find it weird that they had her seem to play a big part in the recent manga chapters (we ALL thought she was Iva), and she had all those lines and then it oddly cut off into Iva. Her name means lightning bolt in japanese which hints that she probably has some ability that makes her "lighting fast" which would be a good edition to the strawhat crew, they need someone who can dodge kicks and lazers the speed of light (points to kuma and kizaru) I could see her playing a big role in the defeat of many Pacifistas, Kuma, and possibly kizaru (if rayleigh didnt already take care of him).Anyways, the fact that she showed that much intrest in the straw hat crew leads me to believe shes a pretty good nominee for the new nakama of the strawhat crew, I predict she will play a big role in the finish of this Arc, she'll probably use whatever ability she has (if she has one) to release prisoners to aid luffy because everyone involved with Iva seems to love Luffy and want him to acheive his goal (thats why they stood there for 6(?) hours chanting for him to not give up)
If enel wasnt already a part of the series I would assume shes a logia for the lightning fruit, which in theory could be a possibility (because devil fruits grow every 50 years if im not mistaken(?) and wasnt enel technically an old geezer?) I highly doubt it though, there hasnt been someone with the same ability in the whole series so it wouldnt make sense for that to happen now.
Anyways, I say it will either be her or Bentham that will join, Jinbei joining makes sense but he just wouldnt fit in at all.

@Drake:
Jinbei: Size is not really an issue in my opinion. Brook and Franky are both too tall for the doorways, but they manage, the anime will just magick him through most of the doorways. I hope :(Bentham: He was in Movie 8, in which they omitted the existence of Franky (who had been in the crew for a reasonable amount of time already). Franky's "AAOOO" and Benthams "DONT JOOOOKE AROUND" have that same nasal tone.

yeah, i was thinking franky would whip up a special room for jinbei on the sunny if jinbei did join, I really just dont think it will happen, Just my opinion that he wont join, it would be gnarly if he did though.
And for the bentham thing, like in my edit, they can easily get a new voice actor, im sure a ton of people could manipulate Benthams voice, plus the fact that he hasnt had an appearance in the actual anime for a while will make it less noticable that there is a new voice actor for him.

-
I don't know but I have the feeling Bon Chan will join.
I think Luffy will ask him to join as thanks for saving his life in ID. Lets face it Bon Chan has saved Luffy's life more times than most of the strawhats with the exception of Zolo. and for those who bicth about him having the same voice actor as Franky, give it a rest already. Someone very smart pointed out Family guy as a way to shut you guys up.
I could also see Slivers joining on request by Luffy. It would be a second chance for him to relive his glory days. However I don't seem him part taking in any major show downs. He would just be along for the rideteaching Luffy some Haki.
-
Rayleigh is busted. He said himself that he just wants to live out a peaceful retirement.
And as I said before in regards to Family Guy, the characters still have rather distinct voices. Mr. 2 and Frank sound nearly identical, the only real difference being that Mr. 2 sounds a bit fruitier. Just Youtube his scenes and hear it for yourself.
-
Although I'm not for the Bentham for nakama why couldn't they change his voice actor if they're the same person? to some guy who sounds similar but is distinct in his own right?
Throw in something cheap like chalking it up to Iva doing something to his hormones and thus his voice changes a bit? lol
-
I'm pretty sure Bentham doesn't have any big dream to accomplish by going with the SHs. I guess he could want to go to Kamabakka but even then, I don't see him joining.
-
@ Drake:
He's a merman.
remember thousand sunny's aquarium
Yeaaaah :Dvery good point, I never thought of that.
I am rethinking myself about this now.
-
The Crew will be complete with Ace , Hancock and Bon Clay.
I really hope that all of them will join. -
i never get to like bon clay,im glad that oda left him at level 5,5 while luffy is heading to level 6.
Seriously i can't stand that guyAs for the possible next nakama,if some introduced character is going to join i would prefer hancock for sure.
-
The Crew will be complete with Ace , Hancock and Bon Clay.
I really hope that all of them will join.yeah, i also hope that WB, shanks, sengoku, the three admirals, dragon, luffy's mother and Garp will join too…
-
yeah, i also hope that WB, shanks, sengoku, the three admirals, dragon, luffy's mother and Garp will join too…
We don't even know if Luffy's mom is alive, or not.
-
We don't even know if Luffy's mom is alive, or not.
Seeing the track record of the crew's parents, I'm putting my money on dead. Hopefully we'll get a flashback from Ace soon that will shed some light on his and Luffy's childhood.
-
Bentham is so in.
-
Seeing the track record of the crew's parents, I'm putting my money on dead. Hopefully we'll get a flashback from Ace soon that will shed some light on his and Luffy's childhood.
So? They're all out of the picture, but not neccesarily dead. Luffy - father is alive. Mother unknown.
Zoro - probably alive and lame.
Nami - Bellmere is her only mother and she's dead.
Usopp - father alive and mother is dead.
Sanji - possibly dead but. not a fact.
Chopper - reindeer parents are dead, father dead, "mother alive"
Robin - father unknown, mother dead
Franky - probably alive
Brook - dead as hell, unless Brook is the son of Whitebeard.
-
-
you guys know it was a joke right?
-
Brook - dead as hell, unless Brook is the son of Whitebeard.
Dr. Kureha, totally.
But yeah, we don't even know who most of the crew members' real parents even are. That goes for Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Franky, and Brook. We only know one parent for Luffy and Robin, and Chopper's parents don't really matter.
-
I've actually warmed up to Bentham alot, like alot alot, his personality fits with the crew, and he is a dancer. I want him to join. He doesn't have to really have a dream, it could go a little like after all this is over he wants to go with Iva-san to kama island but Iva says he wants him to accompany Luffy for him. I could see it happening, plus if Dragon has a tranny nakama then Luffy should have a tranny Nakama!
-
Haha. That would be funny if Bon-chan's voice got all messed up from cheering Luffy on, and then he joins. (Since the VA issue won't be there anymore).
-
Luffy is gonna have an okama crewmate but it won't be Bentham, it'll be Sanji.

I dont get it? :blink:
Have you been reading the manga? I'll put spoiler tags.
! In Shabondy, the other SHs all get sent away by Kuma. Sanji wound up on an island of okama
-
I do like the idea of Inazuma joining, cause let's face it; he just looks awesome. But at this point, I really haven't seen enough of his personality to know if he'd be good or not.
I do agree with the VA point about Bon clay, even though at this point I do want him to join. I think he's probably just going to go with Iva, seeing a greater need for himself there than with the SHs. And in terms of an "exchange", Bon Clay for Inazuma, I just really don't know yet. Give me 2 more chapters, and I can tell you what I think better.
Jinbei has his own thing to do; he's not going to join. He could lead them to Fishman island, of course, but he's too much of a figurehead to accompany them.
