@Triceron:
The 'Why do you need' argument works both ways."Why do the Strawhats need another crewmember?" See what I mean?And if you work things in reverse, dismissive arguments come up with the same results.Brook - Already have swordsman, Musician is Luffy's ongoing jokeFranky - Sanji does fire, Usopp is weapons master alreadyRobin - Nami is female, Historian isn't needed for pirate crewThere are other (more important) qualities in being a Strawhat besides roles and purpose.
You are my man!! Thank you!!! I can not understand the whole representing thing. So for those who say why the SH's needs a Fishman, a Logia, another girl, helsman etc requite them the question why not???Well i can tell you why we need them.
Fishman: Another Unique character for a quite strange crew (Reindeer with human speak, Cyborg, living Skeleton, Rubberman etc), another unique battle style (well unique in the crew) Fishman Karate, right now 4 df user 5 non a fishman will be of great help in situations that will have "people at sea" especially if you get four other people (i say) two out of them df users (13 sum 6 df 7 non). Another big issue is who will face San Juan Wolf… Well look a few chapters or episodes ago what Jinbe did in Wadatsumi!!! want more? for the helmsman skills of Jinbe well Franky is not official the helmsman of the crew its the shipwright and heavy guns expert (Usopp the slightl one) in a sea like NW Franky addresses situations very seriously as it should be in some other of his posts a seasoned helmsman like Jinbe can handle better.
Logia: Well there is no particular reason, but do not tell me that does not want a logia user especially a woman we have not seen any so far (Why another girl issue? my view is that the crew of 13 ten men and 3 woman is okay for balance.) Why especially Monet? I said it already for the fly thing, okay Robin can fly but see is not her element!! Last thing about the Logia what I personally see is a crew of 13 members (6 df users 7 non 3 of them Paramecia 2 Zoans 1 Logia), 3 Girls 10 Boys, and the whole unique theme as allready said. And i cant understand those who say Monet is dead end of story. Oda you?
@desijut:
I cant see the SH going backwards on their quest unless they had a good reason to go there.Another angle i think needs looking is that SH only have 3 Haki Users. I imagine Kinemon having haki and i can see him travelling with SH to wano whenever they reach it so they're in a better position untill then, even more so if Law stays with them.
Where we have seen that Punk Hazard is after Raijin Island? For the haki thing we have three right now and we are in the middle of the story.
@The:
I could see Kuzan joining the crew. Every SH has a dream, something that people seem to forget about when they randomly throw out possible Nakamas. Now Kuzan left the marines because he could not serve under Akainu and his version of Absolute Justice. Kuzan has shown in the past that he hates this idealogy. I could see where Kuzan's dream is this; To take back the marines and make them a force of good in the world, realizing that not all pirates are bad.I think it goes without say that one of the final battles, if not the final battle of the series, will be againist the marines. And it's easy to predict the marines falling in battle, and being further annihilated upon the void history coming out. If the marines are to rise from the ashes and become a force of good in the world they will need someone to lead them, and that man is Kuzan. His time as a SH and a Marine Admiral should allow him to build an organization for good in the world.This dream though comes from an assumption that under the leadership of Akainu the marines have gotten more aggrassive and maybe eviler. Kuzan's battle with Akainu undoubtly left him injured, so we could see something where because of those injuries he's not as powerful as he once was. Handicapping him like this would perhaps allow him to join the SH's and not interfere with the Monster Trio.
Well sorry but my opion is that he join Dragon. But you are right about the dream thing and and indeed almost nobody has mentioned so far.
@The:
Another Nakama canidate that I feel strongly for though is Kinemon. His flaming sword was foreshadowed and his inclusion with Brook and Zoro form a Three-Musketeers vibe. Futhermore he's had nice interactions with Sanji, and Luffy would love to use his legs again. And his DF is interesting, but none of thatis real proof. Kinemon's dream I believe will be this; To meet Dr. Vegapunk and see if he can reverse the DF on his son. This dream though folows the assumption that Momo can't turn back into a human. I think we can say with ease that at some point we will be meeting Dr. Vegapunk, between Nami finding him interesting and Franky's connection to him, and even Kuma. Dr. Vegapunk may not even be an enemy per say. Many people here are making a big deal of Momo joining, but I can't see it. This is afterall the New World, where the toughest pirates are. Th SH's needed two years of intense training just to make it her. Why would they allow a kid to join them? He'd be a large liabilty going forward, even if he is a dragon. Furthermre why would Kinemon agree to let him go? I could see him tagging along if Kinemon joins, but not by himself.
Im one of those people making the big deal of Momo. The only way Kinemon to join is to kill Momo (not Kinemon someone in the story) Kinemon and Momo are Johnny and Yosaku, Dorry and Brogy, Aisa and Wiper etc of Punk Hazard nothing more!
