Who is the terrible soul that voted for Nami's death?
Hey, at least we're all on the same for Chopper. Oda would never kill the medic.

If Oda killed Chopper, I'm sure Japan will be filled with screaming children and middle/high school girls for a month.
Jimbei isn't going to die. It's like a bunch of people jumped on a bandwagon when they realized he's most likely going to join.
Vegapunk's dragon for SH pet!
Vivi should reunite with them at Reverie and sail with them again for the sake of saving Alabasta from tyranny under WG control / authority.
Smoker is one step away from being a pirate:ninja:…....my one completely ridiculous "get the hell off this site, you know nothing about OP! RAAGE" theory........lol
Kinemon has grown on me.
I still want a botanist. Preferably another female crew member to balance things out more.
I don't really think any SH's will die. IF one were to die, I think it would be Usopp as a "brave warrior of the seas". His dream is intangible.
As for Sanji fulfilling his search for All Blue, I think there's a good chance that All Blue is not in the New World.
I think given that the series doesn't end at Raftel, there's no reason all the SH's dreams need to be accomplished at once in a terribly cliche scenario wherein Luffy becomes pirate king arriving on thousand sunny on an island housing the true history surrounded by the all blue with Laboon waiting just around the corner while Mihawk shows up for a duel with Zoro, Chopper finds some plants that allow creation of a panacea, and Nami sits on top of of the highest vantage point on the island and completes her world map
Luffy, Robin, and Franky's dreams do reach "completion" upon discovery of Raftel.
However, Chopper's quest to become a doctor who can cure all diseases and Usopp's desire to be a brave warrior of the seas really have no set end point.
Zoro wants to defeat Mihawk, Sanji wants to discover the all blue, Nami wants to draw a map of the world, and Brook wants to reunite with Laboon.
Considering that a war with the World Government will come after discovery of One Piece and the True History, I think it's quite plausilbe that Oda will avoid this cliche by having the SH's sail to the other blues and remote parts of the world, discovering the all blue, allowing a reuinion with Laboon, giving Nami the opportunity to draw a world map, and allowing Zoro to fight Mihawk at different points, thus fitting more naturally into the story.
I mean, when Whitebeard says the war will engulf the entire planet....I'm thinking it's not just going to be one massive battle at Marijoa. We already saw that scenario in the Summit War wherein the Whitebeard Pirates faced off with the Marines in a day long battle at Marineford. The final war will not be the same scenario. If the war is against the World Government....it means the entire world. We've seen Mihawk, Shanks, and Whitebeard get from one place to the other pretty easily. I'd imagine the SH's will have this same freedom and mobility by the time they reach Raftlel, thus allowing them to travel all over the OP world.
If I could link some Tropes Ace & Whitebeard's death was for these.
Obiwan moment
Kill One Others Get StrongerWhere as Jinbei would be
Dying Moment of Awesome
I still truely think that Jinbei is going to join just to die - not in a mean I hate him way - he is actually going to be one of the more fun characters, Oda will probably have a lot of fun with him just to invest in the whole "unkillable" ideal people seem to have.
The only trope I could imagine Jinbe pulling off is a Disney Death.
@Rotten:
Definitely Ussop. There's NO way Zoro is gonna die, he has the devil with him.
The crew can go on without ussop. However, the other crew mates play more important roles. Harsh but Ussop is the only one they can do without
Why? Because he's only a sniper?
By that logic, you could say the only important members are Nami, Sanji, Chopper, and Franky, and everyone besides them are irrelevant.
Hey, at least we're all on the same for Chopper. Oda would never kill the medic.
Seeing as how Chopper is literally a merchandise mascot, killing him off would cause severe backlashes.
@Vongola_Boss_XI:
I still want a botanist.
Usopp is basically a botanist-warrior now. Good day.
I feel like it would probably be Zoro. After he has become the strongest swordsman, of course.
Edit: People need to shut up about the NO ONE WILL DIEEE ODA WOULDNT DO THAT shit. This is a hypothetical thread, fuck off. But since you people don't seem to understand shit, I guess i'll say it in a simpler way: It means "What if?".
Is that clear enough for you?
He's not saying anyone will die. It's What if someone would die, who would it be?
Understand yet? No? Of course you don't.
I've thought about it a lot and I always end up with Usopp…his whole character seems like a general add-on to the crew, so it's kind of leading up to his true placement in the story...
I've also had thoughts about Sanji dying, maybe drowning in the All Blue.
A Strawhat already died, seeing another would be way too much.
@nodensuke:

I completely forgot how a SHIP got me to tears. D:

No.
Yeah, it won't happen.
Buuut if someone really would die, I'd say Usopp, dying as a brave warrior of the sea.
16 characters of This
I've always had a hunch that Luffy was going to die at the end of this series. A lot of writers don't have the balls to kill off the main protagonist in the end, but I can see Oda doing just that. He said he was going to end One Piece the way he planned to when he first started.
EDIT: Why is Luffy not an option??
Luffy or Usopp.
Luffy because Roger parallels.
Usopp because Brave Warrior of the Sea certified.
I've been dead set on Usopp for awhile now. Brave warrior of the sea and whatnot (plus, how tragic would it be if he died right before the Strawhats got to meet up with Shanks' crew?).
However…
I've argued before extensively for Sanji dying. Even though he's one of my favorite Straw Hats.
Basically, he's one of those massive inferiority complex characters and is constantly competing with Zoro to prove himself.
He hold debts to heart far too much. His leaving Baratie while crying showed just how much guilt and debt he felt towards Zeff.When he was ready to give his life for the crew, Zoro took him out and took his place. Sure, he survived, but the idea was that he wouldn't. The way I see it, given Sanji as a character and their relationship, at some key point later in the new world Sanji would give his life for the crew or specifically for Zoro.
As for his dream, I feel it's one of those that could be accomplished prior to death. Maybe his place of death would be All Blue.
edit: come to think of it, Sanji is rather sacrificial in nature. Saved Luffy and Nami from the avalanche while risking death to himself. Took a blow from a bazooka to protect Nami (and her dress). He's happy that his body took the blow from Caesar instead of Nami's. And of course the time he saved Usopp and took a full second hit from Enel.
I want to see this happen now.
I really want to see this happen now.
Edit: Actually, that reminds me of a line from the 6th movie that was directed at Sanji and Zoro:
“Were the rabbit to die, the fox would be lonely and deeply distraught.”

EDIT: Why is Luffy not an option??
Luffy already has a given possibility that he'll die like Roger at the end of the series. But that's not the question, which of the strawhats would die on the journey in the New World?

It would be even better if, instead of dying for the captain, Sanji sacrificed himself for Zoro.
So much redemption. Especially because it would be someone other than Nami and Robin.
If Usopp were to die, I would say before the crew reach Raftel and some force is catching up on them(maybe Blackbeard). He'll then stay behind to buy them some time. But that actually sets up for a miraculous comeback when the crew is fighting the WG so I'm not sure.

No.
Exactly..!!
If Merry's death can bring basically every One Piece fan to tears, having a crew member who is not a ship die would be….
Well, it's probably safe to say the hardcore fans of that crew member would be just as dead as the character..
TOO MUCH.
Back in the day when the use of Rumble Balls exposed Chopper to a serious deal of risk, I used to think that one day he will fatally overdose on them.
It would be even better if, instead of dying for the captain, Sanji sacrificed himself for Zoro.

Redemption for what? For being an ass of a rival towards Zoro?
Because… lol.
Do people really think Sanji has no respect whatsoever for Zoro just because of their rivalry and the occasional fighting gag?
Brook. As he has lead a long life, mostly fullfiling. There's one thing that would kill him in the spot that's non violent and in control of the first candidate to Final Boss of the story (Blackbeard's touch). Would be cruel and gutwrenching. His dream isn't as epic or world changing it's "Reunite with a friend that I haven't seen for 52 years and it's still waiting for me". Even if he doesn't die until finding Laboon, how much life would there be for him after the reunion, either he decides to Live for ever or to die there and then.
Don't take this wrong, I like Brook a lot, but I do fear for his life, as it's the one that could be most easily taken away.
Speaking of "ifs":
IF Usopp's dream is to become a Brave Warrior of the Sea AND
IF Usopp becomes a Brave Warrior of the Sea
THEN Usopp has become his dream AND
IF a Man's Dream Never Dies
THEN Usopp is effectively immortal.
I'm going to go ahead and not vote. None of the straw hats will die in the new world,
I have a feeling Robin will be the guy, or rather, girl who dies in New World. I mean Ace and Whitebeard had their epic deaths in the first half, so I have a feeling that it would be Robin who dies in New World, you know? With the poneglyph crap and the Ohara bruhaha, I have a feeling it's her.

Oda has a lot for Robin, I mean she must be alive until Raftel to read the Rio poneglyph dont you think?

Hmmm. Never thought of it like that.
Jinbe would be the only one to make any kind of sense, both because some sort of sacrifice (ace-style) would fit his character, and because of his unusual half-in stance with the crew.
However I firmly believe he will not die and will become the 9th SH regardless, so no vote
No one dies! I would be so heartbroken if it happened.
But if I have to choose, maybe Zoro? He's my favourite Strawhat. I imagined he has already achieved his dream but his other dream is to make his captain the Pirate King so he will sacrifice his life to save Luffy, finishing what he has done in Thriller Bark. He will smile smugly at his death like a D. even though he's not one, but because he knows that when he dies, no one can take away his title of being the world's strongest swordsman EVER. He is already a legend.
Great stories always end up killing off very important characters (not saying that one has to do that in order to be great) but it might be going overboard to let Luffy dies so I say let's kill Zoro instead. Same dramatic effect, enough to make the fans cry. I don't want Luffy to die because he's the next Pirate King who will change the world and complete what his predecessor cannot finish, so he has to do things differently from Roger, which for me, means his end is different too, so he can't end up dead like Roger.
It's funny how we all want our favourite Strawhat to die.

@400MillionBelis:
That's why the thread says "if" and "were".
I am appalled. I believe this thread was clearly asking a theoretical question – I believe it because I intentionally made this thread with the premise of trying to make that clear in the original post so I wouldn't have to see garbage like this. It doesn't matter if you think it won't happen. That's what theory is about, it's not a hard concept to understand.
If all of mankind was ignorant, then I believe your responses would be completely and 100% warranted. However, since not all of us are ignorant, these questions give us great situations to imagine. Don't want to participate in the discussion? That's great, in fact, I would encourage just walking off every time you heard somebody say something you don't like. Suffice to say, both of you failed to do that.
Let's be adults about this and let people discuss what they want, since the poll and rest of the discussion seems to be interesting.
If Zoro dies, then it should be while he and Tashigi are killing each other to death. Tashigi will either have to improve her sword skills, or Zoro can have a huge handicap (exhausted from double battles with Mihawk and Shilliew.)
i also see usopp dying. after that "brave" status, maybe something will happen but i like the idea of Usopp being the one telling the stories of their adventures to people (after they get OP or disband/something like that).
but i like the idea of Usopp being the one telling the stories of their adventures to people (after they get OP or disband/something like that).
But then they wouldn't be lies.
the heck, no Luffy? Like it or not, out of the strawhats he always had the MOST chance of dying.
Brook has already died, so your argument is invalid. :ninja:
I think Luffy will do a Roger after becoming the pirate king and hand himself to the marnies, so he has my vote!
Yeah… Roger was waiting for the man who would act exactly like him
The only way I can see any of them dying is after he/she has archieved his/her dream.
So Usopp is a possibility, because he's already mostly there and maybe Sanji once they find All Blue. Nami is impossible because making a world map will take ages. I rule Luffy out because Roger went down basically because of an illness and Luffy dying of an illness would render Chopper's dream obsolete.
Zoro… maybe. At the very end. Or Brook. I can't really see Robin or Franky dying.
maybe Sanji once they find All Blue.
Despite saying myself what the heck Sanji is going to do with the All Blue, I meant it in a way on how cop-outy and untouched this fact is when it comes to Sanji himself. Really, the only times Sanji mentions the All Blue is mostly for laughs.
It's obvious what's he's going to do with it - his going to fish there to cook the best food in the world, and one that will hopefully stop world hunger. Yet it's untouched upon. Sigh…
I'm going to hesitantly say Robin, if only because she still doesn't have an official "Sixth Person" chapter named for her. Could be foreshadowing by Oda. Maybe she will sacrifice herself for the crew, and that'll be the name of the chapter as a way to honour/cement her as a true Straw Hat. (A chapter title might seem like the weakest evidence, but remember "The Third And The Seventh". It's very much a 'thing' in the way Oda structures the story.)
(Incidentally, I'm still waiting for the rest of the crew members to have a chapter named after them, representing an important moment in their roles (ala "Member Of The Straw Hat Crew: Pirate Hunter Zoro" when he "sacrificed" himself for Luffy in Thriller Bark. I wonder if that'll become a structural theme as well?)
Aside from that, Usopp is the obvious choice.
the heck, no Luffy? Like it or not, out of the strawhats he always had the MOST chance of dying.
But that's not the question.
It could really only be one of the SHs who completes their dream prior to finding One Piece. However I have a feeling since Luffy's crew is so small nobody will die because unlike Whitebeard, Luffy will always be close enough to his crew (physical closeness). To pick one you have to start by finding out which ones can't die?
Zoro- he could beat Mihawk before Luffy find's One Piece but the odds that the first mate of the second Pirate King dies before Luffy achieves his dream doesn't fit the story. Zoro has spent too much time protecting Luffy's dream to not see it come to pass.
Nami- you can't map the whole world if you're dead
Usopp- he is the most likely candidate, as being a brave warrior of the sea can be achieved before Raftel
Sanji- if All Blue is on Raftel then Sanji can't die
Chopper- could happen but once again he might need something from Raftel to be able to cure all diseases
Robin- Rio Ponyglyph is on Raftel (so it seems) she can't die
Franky- has to sail 1000 Sunny through the Grand Line so he can't die before it lands on Raftel
Brook- said he will see Laboon AFTER completing his journey with Luffy so he can't die (plus he's already dead)
I'd say Brooke, but he's already dead SKULL JOKE!!!
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
@Portgas:
I think Luffy will do a Roger after becoming the pirate king and hand himself to the marnies, so he has my vote!
Luffy wants to be free, not imprisoned.
The Strawhat with the highest chance of an actual death is Luffy at the end, and he's the only one not on the poll. So this looks pretty pointless in my eyes.
@Miss:

I agree. I predict he dies like Gol D Roger.
ALSO GET THIS THEORY! USOPP WILL DID THEN BLACKBEARD WILL SWITCH BROOKS DEVIL FRUIT INTO HIS BODY AND USOPP RETURNS!
wham bam
@Miss:
The Strawhat with the highest chance of an actual death is Luffy at the end, and he's the only one not on the poll. So this looks pretty pointless in my eyes.
The question was essentially who has the most chance of dying during the Straw Hat's adventures through the New World. Luffy is not, and will never, die during, so he is not part of the question.
You guys realize that Roger turned himself in cause his illness was incurable, so tell me why will the same thing happen to Luffy??? Luffy wants to be the freelest man on the sea so he won't be turning himself in and its immpossible for Luffy to get an incurable illness since its Chopper's dream to be a doctor who cures all illness.. So I don't see Luffy dying even after one piece ends.
the hat itself will die

No one said Luffy will die of illness. Luffy dying at the end of the series has been thrown around because of various hints in the past, the most glaring ones are the Hormones thing that Ivankov did TWICE to Luffy, which is supposed to cut down years from his lifetime.
