I'm waiting to see if someone says they need a helmsmen before we get another member.
If they do..it's gonna be Jinbei or random fishman (or woman)

Huh? I don't know, that's really dictated by the fanbase. As long as they're, by far, the three most popular choices, it won't change.
Well, that's a fine prediction, but it's far from certain like you had suggested. I certainly give credibility to the theory that Jinbei will defend FI under Luffy's name. A precedent has been set for it, and it makes sense.
I think it's very likely this arc revolves around Mariejoa and the revolutionaries. This is really the time in the overall storyline where the revolutionaries have to move. So I figure the revolutionaries are more equipped to realistically defend FI later.
Either way, there are plenty of possibilities, so only one of them can't possibly eliminate a character's chances.
Ah, I had never considered the chance of the presence of the revolutionaries, I mainly thought the arc to be used for further demonstration of the SH pirates compared to the strength of the people in the first half of the grand line did not see this arc lasting more than a couple of chapters so they can finally reach the new world, if the revolutionaries are indeed there, that would mean the marines and the world government would have showed up as well, since the main purpose of the revolutionaries is to combat the world government. If the WG is indeed at FI, it would be a great oppurtunity for the SH crew to get their bounties increased and have new poster pictures.
Also to return to the point of this thread even though I do not think there is much more to cover in regards to why Perona should not join the crew seeing as she is already loyal to moria and faaaar to weak compared to the rest of the crew and she serves no purpose in regards to position. I find it much more likely that pwngoat would join since atleast it would have a crew position (pet) even though the chances of pwngoat joining are ridiculously slim, I still find them higher then Perona which is laughable.

I said it way back… Before people randomly pulled jobs out of their asses... The only job, which is left and we know is there, is the helmsman. See Burgess at BB's crew. So if anything it will be a helmsman in my eyes and I stand to my point that we will get only one additional member and it will be final.
Why?
1. Vivi, who is said to be a nakama by Luffy
2. BB's crew, so far, has only one more member. If he still get one other, which I doubt, than we will see.
I hope we get another girl, but whatever comes Oda will just make us love it.
Like Franky's new look…

Franky's new look is SUPPPEERR!!!!!!!!
It's funny that he went from bottles of cola to kegs of cola lol look at the size of the bottle he is drinking
It was kinda hard to drink those little bottles with those huge hands.

Heh, Luffy directly or indirectly imitating Whitebeard becomes more plausible by the chapter. The way everyone responds to Fluffy is proof of Luffy's infamy, and it will only continue to rise from this point on. Anyway, if such is the case at Fishman Island, I see no reason why Jinbei's position would be any different than Franky's was: obligation and responsibility keeping them there to 'protect' those they care about, dreams suppressed from years of hardship, and a bounty on their head creating more danger to their home than their strength would protection.

i see Rayleigh being the one who tell luffy what he needs for his crew in order to get to raftel

Jinbei does fit all my requirements to join the crew as the helmsman except for one, he has no big dream. e.g. Luffy being pirate king, Franky building a ship that sails around the world, and Nami drawing a map of the world. Jinbei even has enough renown to join the current strawhats, maybe even as the third strongest, but having no dream besides finding a place to die endangers his chances of becoming a member along with needing to protect FI under Luffy's name. Unless he plans to die on raftel of course, though that sounds a bit random.

This is all ground that has been tread before, so I won't dig into it too deep, but those who have been arguing for Jinbei (ie: myself, Urouge) have always maintained that any and all major developments for Jinbei would happen on Fishman Island, where it is not only relevant, but central to whatever is happening in the story at the moment. Fisher Tiger as near as guarantees back story for Jinbei, while that bit about Arlong might as well be carving it in stone. Like Franky, or Zoro, or Nami, or Chopper, or Brook, the flashback would serve as the foundation for their goals. As the most recent examples, neither Brook nor Franky had a clear 'dream' or 'goal' before their flashback, and even then it wasn't until the end of the arc as a whole that we saw it for what it was. Jinbei should be no different.
Urouge… If we won't get an goodbye for Perona, cuz she isn't as important as perona, when will she be finally out at the poll as well?
This confused me like hell.
I fear this to be the next plague, hopefully the crew is complete before he comes back in to the story.
@Dwin:
Next crew-mate is Sabo. Bet it.
Your account?
Well, jimbei could really join. tho i would have liked hancock more.
Hes no longer a shibukai, hes been already seen with luffy..so the consequences if he joins prolly woudnt change to much.
We just have to see how the situation now is in FI after Whitebeards dead and jumbei no longer shibukai.
He prolly would make a good addition tho i just dont like him as much as…
Opration Jimbei Drop
You guys have become too accustomed to shooting fish in a barrel.
The real game begins now.
No worries Jiimbei fans are mostly rational, there wont be any whining in the forum if he joins he joins if he doesnt who cares, unless Perona fans jump the boat and start making their terrible theories but I predict they will jump to the boat of the first Fishwoman/Mermaid we see there.
Caimie doesnt count.
Plus they must hate Hancock and Jimbei.
Perona Ghost or Perona herself is traveling with Zoro and showings him the way, thats why he wasn't lost.
I think Bonney is the next crewmate.
I think she is why the Sado flashback occurred for one. I believe the theory she's a noble, and if so, then her dream of getting away from nobility and being a pirate will play up Sado's dream making for a bit of drama. She is in need of rescue, setting up a plot where she may escape and run into the Starwhats, and as a female character she is different than our other two leading ladies enough to make her stand out as not just a copy. Her Devil Fruit is sadly a indicator I may be wrong (In that it's Over powered and oddly made for a crew member, much like Boa and Perona).
Why are you obsessed with Bonney of all people.
New poll choices please (based on what people are saying):
Perona
Jinbei
Bonney
Sabo
Camie Akainu
How about no.
I say so.
Who is still saying Perona anyway?
Jezz, Hostile much Retsudo? How is logically suggesting a character and then showing a point against it make me obsessed with the character? Since my personal dreams of "Bon-chan becomes a girl and joins (thus negating the anime voice actor problem)" and "Crocodile joins for the lulz" didn't pan out, I gotta go with someone else, and logically that would be one of the rookies shown that got beaten, and the bit of foreshadowing with Bonney makes her fit that role.
Hancock is not out yet. She will change her mind and is joining o.o
How is Hancock out of the picture? Luffy even said that he wants to see her again.
Genuine idiots or undetectable sarcasm?
I believe it's the former.
Luffy's going to FI and Hancock's going back to her island.
She'll never be a Strawhat. At best she'll be one of Luffy's allies against the WG.
Hancock is out now. She is a strong ally and will likely be seen again in future arcs though. Allies such as the Kuja pirates may start becoming more important as the story progresses into the New World.
The whole "goodbye" scene was a gag, from the fake mustache to Hancock misinterpreting Luffy's "see you later" as another marriage proposal. Nothing will come from it any time soon. At most, Hancock is an ally now.
Let's imagine you're Luffy. Right now you're focused and excited to get back with the crew and continue your adventures. So you say "see you later" to someone who was a big help to you and carry on. The "later" you spoke of isn't going to be until after uniting and continuing the adventure (ie going to FI). And if you honestly think Oda is going to do something as pointless as drag out Hancock joining to happen after FI with Hancock following Luffy or something, you need to seriously reevaluate things.
tl;dr: Hancock is out. Get over it.

what do u mean at best?
didnt she basically say "im your ally" in her bye bye scene
Because she can't fight with luffy unless it's some kind of battle that would bring about the collapse of the WG.
If that happens it won't be till somewhere near the end of one piece.
New poll choices please (based on what people are saying):
Perona

Why the heck would Akainu be on that list? :blink:

Hancock is gonna have a role on the Manga, I dunno if we'l ever see Luffy with her again until the ending, but Oda has something thought for her, for sure

Let's see… Robby said that pirates killed his dog Tiny when he was little.
...Tiny must have been a bad pet. That's why he so often gets angry when others don't follow his orders. They remind him of his bad dog.
I just had that pop in now. I have no idea how it came by in the first place.

The cucumber will join. Chopper will become attached to it.
He just takes it with him.

I support this happening lol

I would guess that when they leave for FI without her would be the most likely time. Unless of course we get a flashback of her saying goodbye to Zoro before that.
In the interest of disclosure she would be my pick out of the 3 listed to join.

She is a freaking Warlord, of course we'll see her again.
