I don´t know about you guys but ever since I read those three names I was like "WTF? Who are they?" I mean I know it was explained that Luis Arnote was an expedition leader, that Willie Gallon was a physicist and that Jou Wahl has seen Jaya once, but it never really explained who they were.
Well though I didn´t think much about them at first I always began to ask myself the same question the more often I´ve read their names: "Why did Oda even bother to mention them in his manga?" I mean couldn´t all that happened also have happened without including them to the story?
And then I came up with a very veeeeeerrrrryyyyy whack idea that better should have been kept a secret but since it is just the way I am I´m gonna spill it out:
What if those three guys were actually crewmembers on Gol D. Rogers ship?
I mean being an expedition leader doesn´t mean that you couldn´t have crewmate on someone elses ship before. And why shouldn´t a physicist be member of a pirate crew. And for Jou Wahl it wasn´t even said what his profession was.
Plus, if they would really have been his nakama, then wouldn´t it be a big tease for us if Oda would have included this information when he mentioned them? I until now, it appears that nobody bothered much about who they were, could be another yet sinister scheme but Oda himself.
I agree that it is all far off, it´s just a stupid theory but I think that it as some point has something interesting to it.
Any thoughts? :molly:
