I'm starting to find it funny how a lot of the people that say Boa has (and to a lesser extent Jimbei) no chance of joining have been coming off like nothing more than trolls.
And once again, arguing civilly, the droogs label me a troll.
Where if anyone cleared the bias out of their eyes they'd see that the only candidates that had/have any real shot are Boa, Jimbei, Mr. 2. and to a lesser extent Margaret.
Did you put your hand in the new crewmate grab bag and come up with that shortlist randomly?
Just because I heard Hatchi I'll throw out reasons why I think his chances are small imo:
You mentioned Jinbei as a likely crewmember. That's even stupider then Boa.
1. No big dream or any that I could see thought up for him as a SH
Well alright, point#1 is a pile of garbage, moving on.
2. He's weak in comparison to everyone who's currently a SH,
Such muscleheads like Nami, Robin, Usopp and Brooke could grind him into dust!
remember he got beaten by a half dead Zoro back in the Arlong arc,
When everyone in the crew except Luffy is weaker then Zoro who cares.
and Sanji, Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Usopp are much stronger than back then,
And Hatchi can't be?
even the people that have joined since have had the time to gain strength or joined strong enough where they wouldn't need nonstop protection from the others,
Are you serioulsy implying Nami and Usopp are stronger then Hatchi? lolllll
whereas if brought Hatchi in now as the SH will be headed to the NW he'd have an even worse time based off his level fighting strength.
Based off his performance in Volume 10. Based off a worthless thing like that. Great point.
Then consider that when the SH reunite they'll likely have powered up, and even without a power up Hatchi would still find himself definitely weaker than Chopper and likely weaker overall than Nami and Usopp.
Again, lol.
The 2nd reason, partially the 1st and change number 3 to selling takoyaki with Hatchi and thats what eliminates Caimie imo.
When did Hatchi state his dream was to sell food.
People keep harping on Shichi status as things that disqualify Jimbei and Hancock, especially Hancock. Hell, Jimbei for all intents and purposes probably isn't a shichi now and certainly wont be one for long when he shows up at HQ with Luffy.
People keep talking about this thing I won't refute!
Then there are the people stuck on the idea that if Hancock loses her status AL gets destroyed simply from what Nyon said but ignore that Nyon also said that Hancock's retarded love sickness would kill her if she doesn't stay with Luffy.
Not what she said and as far as we know not discredited.
Point is that Oda could take the plot any direction he chooses
This isn't a fucking argument.
and could easily have Sengoku or likely the Gorosei
say it isn't worth wasting the man power/resources post war on going to the calmbelt to destroy AL,
And AL still loses it's protection as an isloated kingdom, which is half Boa's motive.
then continue and say to unfreeze her bounty and make sure to capture her and the SH. On the otherhand Oda could take it the other way and have Boa fall out of love with Luffy so that she can stay and defend AL, w/e point is that people keep holding their opinions like they are hard facts when they aren't.
Boa already left Luffy.
