You didn't read the rest of the guy's post that I quoted, or maybe I misunderstood it…
He's talking as if what Oda does here is something no other author can do, which is a load of bull...
This is mider t in disguise isn't it!:wassat:

how about a marine female sees the world govt is corrupt and joins the strawhats we don't have a former marine in the crew she joins in the new world
we also get jinbe at fishman island his room is the fishtank which is big enough for him
A fishman, and old sage and a girl assassin.
I know it will kind of look like Generic Manga No 31 but I still think that would be nice-
I'd prefer anything having to do with an assassin to be comedic like the girl's not an assassin but aspiring, so she sucks at it cuz she's still a neophyte.
We have Brook, no need for an old sage.
@looking_at_you:

This is irrelevant. Jinbe's size was never an issue.

A ninja, lol (assassins are basicly ninja). A black-star/naruto type wouldn't be that cool but when it comes Oda pulling it…
! everything's possible…:ninja:
*giggles
I have no idea how anyone can consider Jinbe too large for the ship, not after we all have seen what Franky has turned into
! everything's possible…:ninja:
And then all hell broke lose and the waters were stained with blood and the earth scorched into a blazing fury that could only be seen as the end of the world
I think it's pretty clear that what people want right now is a younger member.
Why can't Vivi come back and re-join the crew now after 2 years I would like that

I like to extend the range of the assassin category to include hitmen as well (like the movie Hitman). I feel that'd be suitable as well. The pics he posted were basically ninja but I just don't automatically think ninja when I think of assassin.
The whole Naruto/Blackstar thing is tired. It'd be interesting to see Oda's take on that type of character but not for crew member.

It was always a stupid idea.

Really? How young? Never got that feel. If anything it seems members on here want a whorish female for nakama that oozes promiscuity just so they can feel justified in their the crew "needs" a girl posts. As long as it isn't an old hag(which would be funny) the age range is pretty wide.

I don't think everybody who wants a female character necessarily just wants them for the masturbation aspect. I want another female character myself and I am neither male nor lesbian. It just doesn't necessarily have to be our fishman member.
I get the feel people want a younger member around Luffy's age since our last three have been over 25 and that's partly why people have a hard time warming up to Jinbe. I admit I'm like this as well.

I was just talking about the general consensus of what most prefer around here.

That reminds me it's either a female or a fishman.

That's really just based off of who's recently joined not the ppl unless your source are not ppl from this forum. I haven't seen a whole lot of talk about the next nakama being young, specifically.
I wouldn't mind it though. Kinda doubt it though.
I always saw Chopper as fulfilling that younger member role.
If its an apprentice type character however I really don't see that happening until near the end of the series.
Well I just think that's the case, hence why people keep bringing up Jinbe's possible son or apprentice - someone young, so long as it's not Jinbe.
I'm not saying "young member" like Chopper. I mean someone in the original East Blue 4 age range - which Chopper is technically part of, even if he behaves like a child.
Oh I just figured it was more of "as long as it's not Jinbe" thing lol. IMO a fishman can join and have no connection whatsoever with Jinbe at all.
I'd probably prefer a troubled fishman almost going down that racist path joining than some Jinbe jr. character. I feel someone looking up to Fisher Tiger than Jinbe is way more apt and appropriate for the crew if it's a fishman to join. Jinbe's always accepted Luffy and all that other shit. I'd prefer a fishman that'll challenge Luffy and the rest of the crew on his views and principles until he realizes how simple minded he is and that he was always accepted.
Arlong's son hahahaha
I meant like people don't want Jinbe because they don't want another older character. At least Brook and Franky were rather immature so they didn't feel so much like mentor characters.
Arlong was probably in his middle 20s. I doubt he's currently past 30. There's no way he could have a son old enough to join the crew.
I would like it if the hypothetical Straw Hat after the hypothetical Fishman one had a Devil Fruit weapon of some sort.

Yeah and I was saying I thought it was more so ppl not wanting Jinbe.
I'm not gonna speculate Arlong's age. He can be 35 with a dozen bastard kids for all we know. Wasn't all that serious bringing up his "son" anyway just going off what was mentioned with Jinbe and the idea of it being Arlong's son being so funny and awkward.
I love how people keep forgetting that that Arlong held an entire island under ransom for nearly ten years.

Who forgot ?
@Zik:

We know Arlong is around Hachi's age. 22 years ago, we know Hachi was a child when he saved Rayleigh. IDK about you, but he doesn't look older than eight to me. I'd guess about 5 or 6. Hachi being older than 32 even after the timeskip would be a stretch IMO.
Plus I don't think we'll see teen parents in One Piece. IF Arlong had a kid, he or she would probably still be a child, preteen at most.
@Zik:
Who forgot ?
The people who keep bringing him up as possibly being redeemed.
But I suppose this really isn't the thread for that.
As for the Arlongs kin idea, would them joining really gel with Nami.?
Sabo's parents were assholes, doesn't mean Sabo himself was.

Agreed, not all assassins are ninja, but it seems to be a stereotype. But on another side, wow, a hitman for NN!
The whole Naruto/Blackstar thing is tired. It'd be interesting to see Oda's take on that type of character but not for crew member.
Agreed. Besides, I hate those two.
What I'm most interested in, is how powerful this next nakamate will be given the huge powerup the SH have now.
Wasn't Nico Robin an assassin?
Hmm… Considering how the Strawhat crew is kinda turning into, what we believe to be, a extremely similar version of the Roger pirates, perhaps he will get a apprentice. Heres why.
The strawhat originally belonged to Roger (this is not 100% confirmed but we can assume) but is later acquired by Shanks (who knows why). Perhaps Shanks was the apprentice of Roger at one point, so Roger felt obligated to give him the hat?
So if Strawhats really are as similar to Roger pirates, as speculated, then maybe they will get a apprentice who takes the role that Shanks might have...
Yes? No? Maybe so?
I would like it if the hypothetical Straw Hat after the hypothetical Fishman one had a Devil Fruit weapon of some sort.
Do you mean something similar to spandam's sword?
If so, then yeah I agree it would be cool and also a nice variation for a unique fighting style.
This could maybe work with the idea of a warrior that fights with a shield as his main weapon. Don't ask me how it would function though XD
This is not directed at the quote, but people in general should be a bit careful of just expecting a fishman to join in the FI arc. It is nowhere near guaranteed.

Yeah, something like that. It has to be something other than a sword or gun though, since Zoro/Brook and Usopp/Franky already have those weapons largely covered. Devil Fruit brass knuckles, anyone?
As for the Arlongs kin idea, would them joining really gel with Nami.?
It wouldn't that's I jokingly brought it up.

Power wise it'll either be monster trio level or mid range with room for growth to reach monster trio's level.
I still like the idea of a logia user since Oda could just make the potential battle wise nearly unlimited.
@Renegadesoul:

Is, she aint really lose the skills.
It'd be funny seeing someone looking to hire her to off some guy.

Eh, around Hachi's age doesn't mean exactly Hachi's age. Around can be 3-5 years around.
Hmm nobody uses a spear. That could have possibilities.
All I can think of at the moment. An axe seems a bit too brutal for a SH to fight with.
As for DF weapons I always felt a scorpion belt could be cool. Poisonous one.
For spears being mentioned, any polearm would do; halberds, naginta, trident, etc.

As mentioned and I'm repeating myself (from another thread I think) I see an apprentice for the end of the story or epilogue.
If one does join I'd have to think it'd be an inexperienced kid that happens to be extremely strong and just not aware or currently not capable of mastering all of his/her skills.

I'm a PURE cabinboy fan :wub: lol. Seriously I can see a cabinboy at near the end of the series.

*Imagines a hot girl using knuckles ala Tifa Lockheart.

A damn shield bro.
This is not directed at the quote, but people in general should be a bit careful of just expecting a fishman to join in the FI arc. It is nowhere near guaranteed.
I think it pretty much is.
A) Going to fishman island was first mentioned in East Blue.
B) Fishmen slavery has been a theme for the last three arcs straight.
C) It's been hyped since Water 7. You could argue that Arlong Park was part of it, along with the way Tom was persecuted in Franky's flashback.
D) We have a LOT of DF users, it'd be fantastic for the crew to get someone who is at an advantage in water.
E) Potential of a unique design and character, which has definitely been the case since we got the Grand Line.
F) Didn't you find it odd that we got a long arm and skypiean supernova but not a fishman? I think it's cause one was going to be important in Luffy's crew. (I admit this is a stretch, though)
G) It would help Luffy win over the trust of the fishmen in fishman island, which would parallel what WB did (WB had Namur as a division commander).
H) Would put to rest Nami's previous issues with fishmen and tie up that loose end. (Nami did not forgive Hachi, contrary to what everybody thinks) Since it's pretty clear Arlong will be brought up whether he actually reappears or doesn't.
One or two of these wouldn't mean anything, but put together and it's clear there is a lot in favor of a fishman joining to the point I can't see one not doing so.
If one does join I'd have to think it'd be an inexperienced kid that happens to be extremely strong and just not aware or currently not capable of mastering all of his/her skills.
Or maybe a boy who's a huge Luffy/pirates-in-general fan who lost his family or maybe just an orphan (you know, one who never knew his parents) who doesn't have anything to lose and wants to join Luffy as an expectator and an possible apprentice. And since it's a kid, he's just weak. However if he were weak, there would be the dilemma that Luffy wouldn't want to take him due to the huge dangers ahead. We still need an explanation of how Shanks and Buggy joined Roger for that matter.
If it's just a weak kid I don't see how someone like that could join. That whole looking out for each other only goes so far.
Getting bailed out constantly would be annoying to the flow of fights and brawls and how they escape from marines.
Shanks and Buggy were able to join the roger pirates cuz the crew was pretty big like enough members for that ship, not a dozen pirates. They had plenty of guys to keep an eye on them.
A damn shield bro.
Well I said a shield earlier but I did'nt want to sound like I was repeating myself XD
@Reyairia:

A lot of those reasons were hype for the arc it'self and not neccessarily a crew-member. I'm not denying the possibilty but I have to disagree that one must join. And even if one does eventually does join it does not have to be during the FI arc.
@Reyairia:
H) Would put to rest Nami's previous issues with fishmen and tie up that loose end. (Nami did not forgive Hachi, contrary to what everybody thinks)
Why do you think this? It seemed like she did to me.
What loose end(s) is there?

I don't think Oda would hype an arc so much if he didn't intend a crew member to join.
Why do you think this? It seemed like she did to me.
She didn't, though she acknowledged that he was genuinely trying to get it.
As for the loose end, the whole Fishmen-who-hate-humans vs.. Humans-who-hate-fishmen thing.
I don't think Oda would hype an arc so much if he didn't intend a crew member to join.
That really isn't based on anything.
You expect someone to join @ Raftel? or Elbalf? maybe Sniper island?
Raftel is the end of the line.
Elbaf has had hype, but not as much as Fishman Island.
We don't know if Sniper Island exists, and if it does we already have a sniper.
Sniper Island is in your hearts.
Am I the only one that isn't hoping for a new crew member?
This is unrelated.
Would you have wanted Vivi to join the crew?
Were you expecting her to?

Seeing as we were guaranteed at a minimum 1 more crew member, you are probably the only one.
No, Vivi is a little cry baby.
No, I saw her as a person who could be considered an ally of the crew, not a permanent member.

Nah Vivi pisses me off for some reason. I just never really liked her :)

How could you not have thought that Vivi was going to join? Her not joining was a plot twist.
@Cyan:
One Piece is clearly a new crewmember.
The most powerful crew member anyone could want, so powerful that "it" was stronger then even Roger. That is why the Roger's crew "disbanded".
Rayleigh sucks for not telling Luffy about it, now he's gunna get his ass kicked on Raftel and it'll be pre timeskip Kuma blasting all over again.
I think this has real potential.
I think people need to start warming up to the idea that cariboo is joining.
