@DEE:
I agree with Mugiwara-Kun on a few points,
Noone could predict if Cariboo will join or not… but like I said before @ the Spoiler thread, No one knows. His ambition is to kill the strawhats in order to get a famous name or w/e else.
He is a Logia for sure, we saw this on the first ep he used his powers, but like someone said in the past pages, he is able to control his logia powers, and got hit by surprise in a funny contexte. he wasn't trying to run or fight against Sanji nor FranKy.
and he is attending the perfect timing to try and kill Luffy.
We still don't know if he was serious when he was beggin luffy to back off because of that Kraken or was just tryin to pretend hes too weak to cause trouble.
But we know that hes very agressive and that he got a famous name & bounty for killing the marines ? and Noone of the current strawhats is the kind of pirates that kills or bury alive marines thats Totally insane, I don't except this at all! They're pirates, but they're good people.
So, if you get me, you'd prolly understand that Cariboo is like Eustace Kidd, or maybe his subordinate. who knows, this is one piece.
annnd, if Cariboo wasn't really playin the role of the afraid guy and was serious, then I think the fact to see Luffy using King's Haki to tame that little guy as he called it, he will prolly back off and get down on his knees or w/e. He would make a good SH, just like Squardoo & WB.
(But nothing is sure ya know, He got a very bad reputation for killin innocent people, I don't think that he'd get a chance to join)
so lets just see what oda plan for the next² week.
It's true that he wants to kill the Straw Hats, and i agree there are many arguments going against him joining, but i just really like his character and think he could be a decent addition to the team.
On the other hand, when he saw Zoro he was genuinely impressed to say the least ("WOOOAAH Roronoa Rozo !") which could mean he realized he was in way over his head. I hope he just gives up on his idea to kill them.
He is a different kind of pirate than the other Straw Hats, but so were Robin and Franky (remember what he did to Usopp) when first introduced, he could change or have good reason to do what he does. Also he could embody the dark tone the manga is taking by being ruthless.
