@RPGJay:
According to people here, the Straw Hats need:
-Another Woman
-A fishman
-A Logia user
Now someone tell me why any of those would be necessary or remotely relevant to the story? Last I checked, the Straw Hats didn't have any quota for members "uniqueness".
well this really doesn't matter too much, I mean why the fuck do pirates need an archeologist, well it's robins job title but she can do a lot more, i mean basically the whole thread is useless in your terms unless you have a specific role, which robin and usopp never really had till after they joined
and as for uniqueness they have a reindeer a walking skeleton (with an afro) and a huge ass cyborg, now I get they all had other capabilities but I think it's easy to see oda loves uniqueness, of course this doesn't mean he'll definitely choose a fishman but it makes it at least fairly possible they would join
of course idk what would happen, I'd like jinbei to join but I think he's to strong the crew would have to big a power up
I always thought a life guard for the SH's would be good, you know someone who when in dire circumstances saves the DF users since they expressed how much of a pain they can be in their battle against the flying fish riders
