I'm a glory hog so let it be known that the blood donor idea was mine.
it is known, the glory is yours.
I wish there were glory trophies.
that would be awesome. -
@Aegir:
Bulma has a TiT vibe.
i don't know what that means :P
-
I did think about the size being an issue, but there could be ways around i, still, there's always the small chance. We knwot he Thousand Sunny is here to stay though, so unelss Franky made it much bigger, well…yeah.
-
How 'bout Mermaid #7?
Or Ammo Knight #2?
ah yes, those were quite the unforgetable characters ^.^
-
am i the only one that thinks this? that if keimi were to theoetically join the crew, wouldnt she be sort of a "deadweight" on their travels, being that she has no legs and all?
-

She got along well enough on Sabaody.
I find it more an issue that, as far as we know, she can't fight. And of course she gets constantly eaten by sea monsters.
-
She got along well enough on Sabaody.
She was either on one of those bikes, sitting down, or on somebody's shoulder. "Got along well" wasn't exactly the case.
-
I most wanted Perona to join, since she made more logical sense then Boa for obvious reasons. Boa joining would have been epic, either way, the crew could use another girl.
More sense than another character that had no chance. More sense for a character that equally had no chance.
More sense.
-

Well there ya go.
-
So I'm new to these predictions but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Caimie has a snowball's chance in hell of joining. Nothing about her suggests next crewmate, everything suggests side character. Her starfish friend remains a possibility for crew, because, well, um, starfish are in this year.
Jinbe is out, I think. He's leadign the Fishmen Pirates, very unlikely he would leave his position at the top to take orders from Luffy, even if he does have the Will of D, even if he is Dragon's son. Jinbe is also, as pointed out before, of Roger's time. There is still a possibility he would humble himself for the greater good, I can't rule him out definately.
Hatchan wont join, the crew already have a swordsman and it's hard to see him fulfilling any other role other than annoying him, and the position of 'annoying Zoro' is already Sanji's. He becomes a possiblity if Sanji does in fact, die from epic nosebleed.
As for Caribou, yeah, something about snowballs and hell. He's nothing more than a murderous Usopp and he's been caught out plotting to kill the Straw Hats so often that they would be complete numbskulls to even let him outside that barrel. Not to mention he's a complete and utter doofus, who makes Buggy look insanely intelligent by comparison. Comedy relief comes from Brook and Skull Jokes, toss that barrel overboard and be doen with it.
Coribu is dead, the only crew he has the possibility of joining is Van Der Dekken's.
If anyone joins this arc, I will nto be surprised if we haven't met them yet. Nothing about the current list of possibilities really stands out and makes them crew-worthy, although developments in the story could push one of them in the right direction. If anyone here is to join, I hope it's Jinbe, he at least makes some kind of sense.
-
You know I wouldn't put it past Oda to actually use an already established character as the next crewmate. Back during the CP9 Saga it was looking like Paulie was going to be the Straw Hat's shipwright, but in the end it turned out to be Franky, who when we first met him was an antagonist to the Straw Hats. Actually that's how every character was introduced that ended up a Straw Hat. So yeah maybe Hatchan, maybe Hancock, maybe one of the new Fishmen pirates, who knows? But I'm leaning more towards one of the new Fishmen pirates. Mainly because, like Paulie, Hatchan is already living his dream, Keimi feels like she's going to appointed a position of change thanks to the Straw Hats interactions on Fishman Island, Hancock and Perona are still on Sabody, plus it fits in with the other allies of the time skip in that they remain allies, Jinbei may help Luffy from time to time, but I don't believe he'll actually join the Straw Hats. So yeah I'm voting for one of the new Fishmen pirates

It was always pretty obvious that it was going to be Franky. At least as early as volume 37.
Actually that's how every character was introduced that ended up a Straw Hat.
No. Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper and Brook were never antagonists.
So yeah maybe Hatchan,
No.
maybe Hancock,
No.
maybe one of the new Fishmen pirates, who knows?
Possibly. Of course we haven't seen them yet.
But I'm leaning more towards one of the new Fishmen pirates.
Rightfully so.

Yep. Or it could be another fishman that's not a pirate.
-
Zoro was introduced as a pirate hunter, Usopp tried to frighten off the crew when they first landed, Sanji was shown beating Fullbody within an inch of his life, Chopper knocked out a kid with his horn, and true Brook was never introduced as an antagonist, but before the big reveal of Thriller Bark, Brook was implied as being one of Moria's men, especially when we met Ryuuma and he was assumed to be 'taught' by Brook.
Also, back to my original point, I think maybe Hammond might be the one to join the Straw Hats. Just my twenty-two cents

Perhaps in your own bizarre butt-backwards interpretation of the events of Thriller Bark that's what appeared to be happening….....but no.
As for the rest, there's a difference between being depicted as villainous and being an antagonist. An antagonist is a character who opposes the protagonists (the Strawhats). Although Zoro may have been a pirate hunter and Sanji may have beaten the crap out some guy, they were never directly opposed to the Strawhat(s).
Of course, this brings up another good point that most, if not all, of the Strawhats have been depicted as being rebellious or unable to fit into society. Zoro was a lone-wolf bounty hunter who attacked a public official's dog. Nami was a ne'er-do-well thief. Usopp was a mischievous liar who was sort of the village idiot. Sanji constantly defied Zeff and man-handled the customers. Chopper...well, he wasn't really a rebel, but he was a social outcast. Robin...well, you know. Brook, again, not really depicted as a rebel, but he was already part of a pirate crew, so...
As for Franky, well, he was pretty the epitome of a rebel and Oda went out of his way to show it. He and Iceberg were both Tom's apprentices, and whereas Iceberg became a respected mayor and CEO, Franky became a ship dismantler. Iceberg was the cool and collected, but determined who was destined to look after Water 7, whereas Franky was a headstrong rebel who was destined for the seas.
And this is really what makes the Strawhats suited for pirate life. The rules, laws and quiet life of society don't suit them and so they seek out their dreams by travelling the world and giving themselves their own freedom.
-
God, I still remember the arc where Luffy had to defeat the cruel usopp and his army of racist long-nose supremecists.
Mind splaining how?
I didn't read the manga, or any thing Oda said until recently. Was all anime for a whilehttp://www.tenmangas.com/chapter/OnePiece516/175692-13.html

Well my memory isn't the best, but I definitely remember that when Ryuuma was introduced, in the present One Piece timeline, he did attack three out of the eight present Straw Hats, and whose shadow was possessing him at that time, and it does count as Brook's introduction, because that was when that last 'piece' of him was introduced.

Although Zoro may have been a pirate hunter and Sanji may have beaten the crap out some guy, they were never directly opposed to the Strawhat(s).
True, and I know I should've put this in my previous arguement, but Zoro did threaten Luffy's life during his introduction arc. Sanji did start his rivalry with Zoro off the bat, of course some might say that is irrelevant now, and up until he'd beaten up Fullbody, the marine officer was turning out to be a royal bastard who, in my opinion, was in line to acting like the next Morgan of the series, that is until Sanji kicked his ass. Whether Oda intended readers to interpret Sanji as a possible antagonist may have been intentional or not, but when I first saw him, before seeing him treating Gin, I was ready to believe that he was going to be a major obstacle for the Straw Hats.
Also I thank that you didn't disagree with my Chopper arguement, but I wish to add that Chopper, upon first interacting with Nami was very hostile, in his own cute way, and he did throw a steel railing at Luffy and Sanji, with reason.

And this arguement is good too. I like it. But still as I was saying in the beginning was that all the Straw Hats were seen as hostile and antagonistic in one form or another during their introduction arcs. Thus I do believe that if there is going to be a new crew member, it'll more than likely be someone we've all been introduced to before, and who either has changed, or will be changed due to the actions of the Straw Hats. Hancock, Perona and Hatchan are likely candidates (also I didn't like the fact that you shot down those arguements without reasons, oh well), but like I said, Hatchan is like Paulie, Hancock and Perona are nowhere near Fishman Island, and have no intention of traveling there. So that leaves, in my opinion, if they do grab someone from Fishman Island, it'll be one of the New Fishmen Pirates, more than likely Hammond because Luffy is gunna do something to completely change his mind about humans, which may force a conflict of morals in the Fishman, and make him see that his boss is bad, like Arlong, and he may join the Straw Hats, but there isn't anything to say he won't try to become Captain if he does join.
That comes from the fact that when introduced, even though he wasn't the leader of the New Fishman Pirates, he offered the Straw Hats a chance to become one of HIS subordinates, and all other Straw Hats have either been leaders, or second in command (Nami was the leader of her people whilst under Arlong's control, because all her people followed her lead in her trick to be 'ostracized' from said people).
Also what about Surume. Maybe after being tamed, HE'LL be the next Straw Hat?

Your whole argument was really great and generally about right.. and then you ruined it with this.
He's a big squid.
Prays for sarcasm -
Sunburst is the new AGOG. Except I don't like this one.

The biggest problem I see with predicting who will Join the SH's is a lot of the people drawing the conclusions joined One Piece very late in it's run.
Many find out about One Piece through the Anime watch it up to date - then proceed to look for the newest episodes find these forums - skip the manga section and go to the Anime find out their up to date but the Manga is a lot more ahead - so they read the arc that is current for the anime in the Manga then because the wait is still so long they read the Manga either forward or from the start.
When you can trawl through 10 years of information in around a week you miss a lot of the build up - people know Franky is joining - they know that Robin is the big surprise. So all the effort put into the subtle hinting is missed in the torrent of information they consume with such speed. Then they are up to date and missed countless conversations over time and learning from each other how to predict and what counts as foreshadowing.
Some are genuine people that come to the forums to post, not expecting the years of repeated claims that this forum has suffered and lets be honest they are not going to go through 500+ page threads to see if things have been brought up.
Unfortunately there is not much that can be done but wait to see who is genuine and who is not. Especially with the few trolls that re-create accounts just to come on and upset the few that always bite it will be troublesome.
Truely I think we're still a couple more months away from any foreshadowing of the next SH - or the strengthening of proof for any already foreshadowed. Each episode of One Piece is not going to provide us with a clear identity - it will only be when there is enough of the pieces there to be seen will some of the more adept and experienced be placing their statements of faith.
Don't take this to mean I think there should be no theorising - just a little less of the certainty that some people are pushing.
-
If only I had started reading one piece three years ago when my friend tried to show it to me, then I could be taken seriously on forums, ho hum.
maybe the reason, for the lack luster ideas is that there are NO potential new crewmates in the story right now. -

maybe the reason, for the lack luster ideas is that there are NO potential new crewmates in the story right now.Not really at all - there are many who come here and are able to make fine posts - Panda I think is one many are quite happy with and there are several others as well. Being late to the party does not mean you can't be taken seriously - it's how you present your statements and theories.
Unfortunately a lot of the people with Join Dates of Dec 2010 are people who were banned in Nov 2010 - some people troll and create new accounts as they go. IP Bans can even be worked around if you are dedicated enough, but once that happens more people just give up after a couple of weeks or months.
The Hostility at join dates is based on more then just a sense of elitism.
-

Exactly. I even remember when he was introduced, one or two people thought Hammond, of all people, was going to join. And it's still way too early in this Arc to find out a new crewmember.
-
True, and I know I should've put this in my previous arguement, but Zoro did threaten Luffy's life during his introduction arc. Sanji did start his rivalry with Zoro off the bat, of course some might say that is irrelevant now, and up until he'd beaten up Fullbody, the marine officer was turning out to be a royal bastard who, in my opinion, was in line to acting like the next Morgan of the series, that is until Sanji kicked his ass.

Are you really trying to argue that every straw hat shared a level of antagonism equal to Robin and Franky before joining? Even Brook, the first character to join on the spot?
…are you also making arguments for Perona and Hancock?
...You're new, so I'll give you a fair chance. I suggest you go back and read some of this thread. Learn what's come before before running for that theory.
-
Back during the CP9 Saga it was looking like Paulie was going to be the Straw Hat's shipwright,
I never ever thought that Paulie was starwhat material. For me it was Iceburg untill it was clear that Franky was Iceburg's equal.
And for the antagonist theory it's partly intresting, because of how Oda chooses to introduce main characters. There is always a world-perspective, reader-perspective and Luffy's perspective. You'll notice that Luffy is rarely wrong about a person, even if the whole world says otherwise.
-
I love the idea of "switching up crew dynamics" is throwing another woman on the crew.
Personality? Fuck that shit.
Relevance to plot? To hell with it!
All we need is another pair of titties jumping around.
-
I hope we get a girl who is extremely flat chested then, just to annoy those people.
-
@Zik:
More sense than another character that had no chance. More sense for a character that equally had no chance.
More sense.
Boa had/has her island to protect from being assaulted by the WG, so she couldn't just stop being the Empress, unless a new one would be able to form the same deal. Perona wasn't or isn't in any situation like that.
Either way, I realize Perona WON'T join. If she was going to, she would of followed onto the ship before they sunk down….Way too late to follow now. I'm gearing more toward a fishman/woman now, or maybe a mermaid.
-
is it AGOG reincarnated?
-
The problem with predicting the next nakama is that there is a whole bunch of [insert fav insult] who use extremely stupid and unrelevant plotpoints and/or backgrounds, to try to connect them in a pathetic attempt to "prove" or search for a "pattern" that will make their favorite character "nakama material".
Most recent example: all SH were antagonist even in the slightest sense at some point, conclusion? Caribou is eligible for nakama.
Or, every SH helped Luffy or someone of the crew before joining, conclusion? Perona is eligible for nakama for helping Zoro.
Or, every SH ended up liking Luffy before joining, conclusion? Hancock is eligible for nakama.
Seriously guys.
-
Let's get one thing straight. As soon as Franky gained new dimensions and was hanging out with Usopp in that under bridge dock, if you didn't leave any ideas of Paulie being crew right then and there, you were dumb.
Let's not even get into if you were hanging onto it all the way to the other side of Enies Lobby, god help you then.

^ It´s called hope =)

Not really, I thought that the whole crew thing would be holding him back. Which it did, but not enough to not drag him out to sea.

You're really splitting hairs here. We all knew some weird shit was up at Thriller Bark and I think most of us got the general idea that Moria was taking people's shadows and attaching them to zombies even before Oda outright explained it.
Oh and, ha ha, it was Brook's introduction because it was his shadow. What the hell are you talking about?
True, and I know I should've put this in my previous arguement, but Zoro did threaten Luffy's life during his introduction arc. Sanji did start his rivalry with Zoro off the bat,
Dah! They threw a paper clip at the Straw Hats! They must be antagonists!
of course some might say that is irrelevant now, and up until he'd beaten up Fullbody, the marine officer was turning out to be a royal bastard who, in my opinion, was in line to acting like the next Morgan of the series, that is until Sanji kicked his ass.
Fullbody was a weakling douche who made a complete ass of himself. He was never Morgan material.
Whether Oda intended readers to interpret Sanji as a possible antagonist may have been intentional or not, but when I first saw him, before seeing him treating Gin, I was ready to believe that he was going to be a major obstacle for the Straw Hats.
Man, you'll just say anything, won't you? Yeah, Sanji treating Gin. The very same in which Luffy identified him (Sanji) as his new chef? Oda never intended Sanji to be an antagonist.
Also I thank that you didn't disagree with my Chopper arguement, but I wish to add that Chopper, upon first interacting with Nami was very hostile, in his own cute way, and he did throw a steel railing at Luffy and Sanji, with reason.
The only reason I didn't go out of my way to disagree with your Chopper argument was because I thought it was a really stupid thing to argue against.
Again, hostile =/= antagonistic. And he had just helped in treating Nami! Oh, and if memory serves, the only reason Chopper threw a steel beam at Luffy and Sanji was because they were trying to eat him!
Jeez, what do you do when someone flips you off? Declare the lifelong enemies?
And this arguement is good too. I like it. But still as I was saying in the beginning was that all the Straw Hats were seen as hostile and antagonistic in one form or another during their introduction arcs.
I'll grant you that most of the Strawhats were initially resistant to the idea of becoming Strawhats or were people you wouldn't expect to join (except for possibly Usopp and Brook) but they were not all antagonistic.
Thus I do believe that if there is going to be a new crew member, it'll more than likely be someone we've all been introduced to before, and who either has changed, or will be changed due to the actions of the Straw Hats. Hancock, Perona and Hatchan are likely candidates (also I didn't like the fact that you shot down those arguements without reasons, oh well),
All these characters have had their chance to join, particularly Perona and Hancock who were left behind at Sabaody. Hatchan, as you said, is already living the dream so he has no reason to join the crew.
but like I said, Hatchan is like Paulie, Hancock and Perona are nowhere near Fishman Island, and have no intention of traveling there.
Then why did you just say they are likely candidates?
So that leaves, in my opinion, if they do grab someone from Fishman Island, it'll be one of the New Fishmen Pirates, more than likely Hammond because Luffy is gunna do something to completely change his mind about humans, which may force a conflict of morals in the Fishman, and make him see that his boss is bad, like Arlong, and he may join the Straw Hats, but there isn't anything to say he won't try to become Captain if he does join.
That comes from the fact that when introduced, even though he wasn't the leader of the New Fishman Pirates, he offered the Straw Hats a chance to become one of HIS subordinates, and all other Straw Hats have either been leaders, or second in command (Nami was the leader of her people whilst under Arlong's control, because all her people followed her lead in her trick to be 'ostracized' from said people).
There is nothing about Hammond that indicates him being a future Strawhat. He's a scumbag who told Luffy and his crew to abandon their dying friend.
And again, you're using superficial comparisons for qualifications of being a Strawhat.
Also what about Surume. Maybe after being tamed, HE'LL be the next Straw Hat?
Dude, just drop it.
-
Not really, I thought that the whole crew thing would be holding him back. Which it did, but not enough to not drag him out to sea.
What crew?? He was the head of a street gang essentially, and as soon as his character was revealed to be deeper then a yelling mean guy we also knew he was hugely wanted by the government. So chilling with his boys forever wasn't on the menu.
Nor was breaking up with his boys a big hump to get over in any way shape or form. It's not like he was the heir apparent of a kingdom or some shit. -
Remember the key requirements it takes to be on the SH crew:
- A Tragic Past
- A Dream that requires traveling the world to obtain
and to a lesser extent, 3) A role to fulfill
Antagonists and helpers are extraneous reasons.
Robin is the only case where we didn't learn the tragic past before joining. And technically Luffy until recently in the Little Luffy Adventures Arc.
Is there anyone that meets these requirements yet?
Not yet.
Although, I still liked this theory from a few pages back:
@The:Luffy is going to make Coribou they're Cabin Boy after finding out he has the same blood type as Sanji.
As for the sad back round I see it being slightly funny. Something along the lines of "I was an orphan, grew up in an orphanage run by super strict 'nun based characters' who beat us for misbehaving and such, as such I wrote letters to the marines asking them to save me from this hell and they never did, one day I ate the devil fruit and used it's power to destroy the orphanage and formed a crew with my fellow orphans. We go around killing marines because they never came to our aid and left us there to suffer' The end.
Nothing to back it up yet, I'm just saying I like this theory.
-
Ok then fine, this is me, sarcasm not having any part in this post, I concede defeat. I made a general comment with my screwed up memory, and now I'm throwing in the towel, washing my hands of this, and am not going to make any more counter points to my theory. Also I would like to thank you all for your counter-points, you've helped me to see I should definitely back up my arguements with more than my memories.
And also I would like to point out that my theories are just that, and if any or all of them end up being proven false, I wouldn't mind
-
^ It´s called hope =)
That is as stupid as hoping that one day 1 +1 will be 3 while ignoring ALL the other elements that point to the obvious result.

Guys we have no clues to any new memebers joining we know very little about any of these people. No one is truly out of the picture of joining and oda might suprise us with his choice or not include any new members an the crew the only position the strawhats don't have that most crews have is a helmsmen and that is handled ussually by frankey.

Yeah, cause crewmember joining is entirely out of Oda's hands.

Exactly. Aside from Jimbei, who is apparently not even going to be on Fishman Island, there are no reasonable candidates yet. Really this thread should hibernate for a while in the meantime.

Caribou is.

Most crews don't have a historian either, but they still have Robin. Position is completely unimportant now that vital roles are filled, its up to the quality of the member.

Let's have a talk about the sense or nonsense of a fishman/mermaid joining the crew.
I think it all boils down to Oda deciding to get over this discrimination theme on fishman island or to have this theme prevalent in his story till the end.

Nami's past was explained later on as well… People just ignore it cuz it took longer in Robin's case
