Since when were you under the illusion that Hancock supporters were any better than Perona supporters?

And that's after we had already said we gave up.

@Halfmetal-lich:

Deicide is right..we had already admitted we were wrong and shut up about it. WE didn't bring up the Hancock in the bag theory.

Actually, I think I'm partially at fault for that. I did bring up that I'd love for Hancock to be in the bag, but I said it just to make an example that I'd love for something absurd to happen and change things, but didn't expect it because it was absurd to begin with.

People just took that as some dumb theory, instead of what it was meant to be.

Halfmetal-lich

Zik: We were all just joking around with the idea of something that we all know is not going to happen, you just thought we were being serious.

But whatever, it doesn't matter anymore. We were wrong.

JERK DISEASE

I have officially checked off Hancock in my sig seeing as the Hancock faction leaders have surrendered.

BoaHRuffyLover

What is this!?
I will never give up for hancock joining the strawhats!!!!
Nothing is impossible!!!!!!
Nobody knows!
And now lets just wait for the next chapter we will be enlightened.

:wub::wub::wub::wub:HANCOCK FOR EVER!:wub::wub::wub::wub:

No matter how hard you try you can't stop it :happy:

And decide what the fuck are you saying ???

reading about Hancock joining is better than any perona related matter.

please proceed..

I'll be cheering from the sidelines as you go take down Perona.

Be nice on Jinbei though, eh?

Why is Hancock support in the poll increasing!? :O

Okay, go ahead, and congratulations!

@herr_sebbe:

Probably because the polls are no longer closed to new members, since the tournament ended.

Zik

@Deicide:

Here's the reason:
And that's after we had already said we gave up.

So the reason you speculated Hancock might be in the bag is cuz you wanted to be on the level of Perona supporters?

Actually, I think I'm partially at fault for that. I did bring up that I'd love for Hancock to be in the bag, but I said it just to make an example that I'd love for something absurd to happen and change things, but didn't expect it because it was absurd to begin with.

I came in the thread ignoring the tit guy expecting to at least be seeing ppl wrapping up their grossly wrong support campaigns only to read "Yeah I'm wrong but I'd love for Hancock to be in the bag."

People just took that as some dumb theory, instead of what it was meant to be.

Dumb theory, hmmm… where would something like that be?

Zik: We were all just joking around with the idea of something that we all know is not going to happen, you just thought we were being serious.

Oh well considering past theories by Hancock supporters I could not tell the difference since I definitely didn't laugh when I read it.

Dr. Kaxbe

Poking a hole in the "Jimbei is too big" argument, if it hasn't already: LOOK AT NEW FRANKY. THE DUDE IS HUUUUUUUUGE.

You're STILL arguing that? :blink: God, you're slow.

Last 2 Crewmates?

Something in the latest Chapter thread kicked this Idea in.

@Nekketsu:

Slowly Luffy's crew is becoming Roger's v 2.0

If this is the case - Shanks and Buggy.

Could this happen? I mean the crew have aged a little probably not enough for a young SH version of Shanks and Buggy but that would show a level of full circle.

Meh I don't like the idea >.<

Seems Isrnick mentions similar about it on the following page didn't read ahead just posted.

Doom

I wouldn't count Hancock out yet. Like said before she and the kuja haven't got a goodbye. The last thing Luffy said to them was "Alright, let's go!". The random okama that took Sanji even got a goodbye. Also Nyon and the Boa sisters quite possibly want to see Rayleigh and Shakky again, while they are there.

Pacifista Franky

Let's hear the Pro Perona supporters' theories about how and why Zoro arrived first on Sabaody.

Then we'll hear from the anti Perona people.

Proceed.

Neutral guy here says VIVRE CARD, he just has to follow it if you are talking about the lack of direction, otherwise I dont really know how Perona could be usefull.

Zoro even hasn't found the stairs right in front of his eyes in EL xD

GetsugaZoro

He didnt have anything pointing him in a direction when he was in EL, if he is lost he can just look at the card again, yes he could have looked to Usopp and Nami in EL but didnt well, we will see next week…

@Deicide:

Arguing what? I was never arguing. Just inquiring and pittying the thought.

Kishido

Just let us quit the bag thing… That was more of a joke and I seriously doubt that someone think it will happen

Cymelion

@KiShiDo:

He is fine with directions he just follows them in the wrong way.

When told to go North - North is up so he goes upwards.
When told to steer the ship he followed a cloud (Might be Anime only in which case disregard)
When told to remember the groves he remembered Grove 1 because thats all he saw.

Directionally challanged he is yes but sometimes it is also luck that gets him going the wrong way or possibly the right way.

It was most likely dumb luck that he got to the ship's location first. If anything, he got there before meeting with Rayleigh, Shakky, and the others. Franky had to ask where the Sunny-go was.

Dumb luck could have gotten Zorro to sabaody…eventually.
But he arrived first and I don't think Oda would have made it so without a good reason in mind.
Why have him be the first to arrive ?

As a joke. Somebody has to get their first, it might as well be Zoro.

good idea, it is kind of joy to see two XX bite each other

Envy

They exist in the One Piece world, just not in the Straw Hat crew. Once a female joins the Straw Hat crew, her boobs gradually increase in size.

@RPGJay:

Aww, isn't that cute? You still think you have a chance.

Well either that, or it would just be horrible storytelling.

It isn't horrible story telling…

@Megadoomer:

Wait, sorry, wrong user. …Or is it?

Looks your favorite character is out and gone– ironic that you'd go first even after all that shit, eh?

@KiShiDo:

Well, even if I was rude in the past… I feel sorry for Boa supporters BUT I still don't get one thing...

Why do they suddenly give up... Boa is maybe not that important anymore to join... BUT she hasn't got any goodbye screen, which she deserves.

Really someone transported Luffy to SA so maybe she is still near or whatever... I can't see why suddenly all of you give up

They give up because the reason is simple: Amazon Lily. Oda has no reason to start a bunch of pointless arcs that stall the future, therefore, he wouldn't have ever planned to introduce some arc that would allow her to join. This is supported because the hype for Fishman Island outmatched the ideas to center arcs around Hancock, and the same thing constricts it from happening two years later, even though he could have had the necessary time skip to allow her race to escape the island. The reason he didn't take the time to do that is because it would have been boring to watch it happen, and it would have considerably stalled the manga.

It's easy to be convinced 100% Perona won't join. There hasn't been anything in the story at all that would hint she would join.

EDIT

I'd call it sad or pathetic but theorizing that Hancock is in that bag Luffy's carrying seems right up Hancock supporters alley. I was about to sigh but it's no surprise, even expected.

It still depends on what purpose her character has and what significance her interactions inspire, for the future and from the past…

Answering that isn't something any single person can do yet, due to the writer never giving an answer to it.

No. They already do not match.

Furthermore, the next member will be that fishman guy's replica then.

It shouldn't be expected that we would get a "how" he did, but it'll just be the same as how Hancock's snake was able to inform Hancock on the battleship–even if it sounds silly, it happened and we have to accept.

If Zoro used Enel's spaceship, then that's fact.

If it helps, I think that chances are either Mihawk dropped him off, Perona helped him herself, or Zoro went on his own.

Which ever option you like, that's probably the one you can have faith in for the next week...

If Perona isn't there, then chances are she didn't help him, or she did but left.
If it's just Zoro, then it'll either be Mihawk helping him or Zoro going on his own.

he also asked directions from a passerby about where to go for Grove 1…

Yes but the fact that hasn't been answered does not mean it is a hint to her joining the crew in the least bit.

If you want to discuss her purpose go to the theories thread.

AGOG

I had said: "She will be a temporary member like Vivi…"

Then, I upgraded that to "eventually" she will possibly join the crew.

Her being taken from one place to another place, and if she is found to be on SA wouldn't it mean she's undergone a Vivi?

Move from the Twin Capes to Whiskey Peak and then end up in Alabasta as a plot device to advance the speed of the crew, and keep the story at a faster pace than normally expected...

There is a possibility Oda could very well do this sort of thing. We didn't know who Vivi was or what she was doing... We have about the same going on for Perona, and a faint idea that could have her on SA, if need be.

Could Oda have had this in his mind, and decided to speed up the story's pace?

I don't think anyone knows that for sure, but at least it seemed to have some sort of curves so it doesn't seem flat.

Don't worry, it's very likely that next chapter will be the one to disprove that she might have come with Zoro.

There was no reason for her to come with Zoro anyway.

Yeah, hopefully. Just one more week before the Perona supporters will go down.

@AGOG: Doesn't this belong in the Dumb Predictions thread?

Ruhpool

Tho i have to admit that i said earlier that i have given up my hope on joining Hancock, iam now not those 100% sure anymore.

Iam not saying that hancock gonna join nor iam saying that anyone right now gonna join(Perona, Hancock, Jimbei whoever).

But i think, that the first thing has to be the reunion from the strawhats before there could be a new member really introduced. Else it would ruin the reunion and focus the attention more to the new member than the reunion.
What woudnt be right.

Btw i never said(iam not posting alot anyway) Hancock will join…i more likely said i would find her a great addidtion and would like her to join the SH....

The point is tho iam not sure if i find it personally good to have the "remaining" members join real late in the whole story(if the 10 member theory is accurate).

Megadoomer

Looks your favorite character is out and gone– ironic that you'd go first even after all that shit, eh?

I accept that, and support basically any way that Oda will take his story from here on, within reason. At least I didn't decide to bet my account on it.
