well, as you probably remember (or not), luffy said he wants a totall crew of 10 nakama. including franky(come on, he's 99% in), we have 8. so, i just thought to myself..how do you imagine the 2 more nakama? if youre asking me, the next one should be a woman. the 10th doesnt matter to me if its a man or a woman. one of them should have a logia fruit! WE NEED A LOGIA TYPE IN THE STRAW HAT!
:P
well, what do you think?
8 now, 2 more?
-
-
Logia fruits (so far) only exist to make an opponent more powerful (i.e. Crocodile, Smoker, Aokiji, Ace, Enel). It would be cool to have a logia-user in the crew, but I doubt it.
As far as new crewmembers go, they should have a musician (if Franky doesn't count), but I don't know what other positions that the crew would need.
-
Where are people getting that he said he wanted 10 crew members? I thought all he said was that he wanted a musician. Anyways… I have this weird hunch that later on Bon Clay might join, but I agree that the Strawhats should get one more female.
-
i don't think franky counts as a musician. anyway, i'm a bit worried that we won't have enough fun with the 10th crewmember. i mean, probably when he'll join, one piece will be close to the end:X so the only big arc with the 10th nakama will be the ending arc.
-
I'd like one more female to join the group. I remember somewhere it was speculated that a mermaid might be the musician, them being famous for songs after all. After that…I dunno. What positions could the strawhats need on their crew?
-
I still take it as if Luffy didn´t count himself inn in his speech. He says that he wants to find a crew and that he wants at 10 people. Of course it´s a matter of interpretation but to me it seems that he wants 10 crewmates instead of a total crew of ten.
So if you count Franky in, Luffy has just 7 crewmates and not 8. Which means there´s still 3 left.
-
They need a female ninja in the group.
Of course, Oda will give her some kind of plot twist, and she'll hit on Zoro…
and Zoro will ignore her-___-
-
Where are people getting that he said he wanted 10 crew members?
Chapter 1, at the end. From Stephen's script.
Luffy: Do you get it now, you big fish?!
Hnnn…!! First of all, I have to find a crew.
I want 10 people!!
And then a pirate flag! -
@Master:

No ninjas. I don't think I could stand a ninja in One Piece. Well, maybe as a bumbling extra, but not as a main character. It seems too much like ninjas are the deus ex machina of shonen - they can do anything. And there is absolutley no explanation for them doing it.
Besides, it's been done before. And if there's anything we can say about OP, it's that none of it has ever been done before.
-
A ninja? What do you think we're talking about, Naruto or something?
To me they need a musician, the old running gag of the manga, they could find him/her during their trip to the Fishmen island, though a fishwoman musician would probably look too weird for my taste, a helmsman, who has the potential to be a very interesting character, and…
I have a hard time finding another role. A fighter??? I don't know, it'd probably seem rather bland and unoriginal, but some crews had members who were just labelled as fighters, like in Bellamy's crew.
-
the last thing they need is a ninja. they already have the essentials though
captain
navigator
swordsman
sniper
chef
doctor
smart personalthough with a bigger ship they may need a helmsman. and if they get franky
then they have a musician and a shipwright in one. but they might only count him as the shipwright.and am imagineing things or did ace say he would join the strawhats if luffy beat whitebeard?
-
and am imagineing things or did ace say he would join the strawhats if luffy beat whitebeard?
You´re definitely imagining things here.
-
ya i thought so. not sure where i got that from. but i still bet ace will join at one point.
-
and if they get franky then they have a musician and a shipwright in one. but they might only count him as the shipwright.
Franky seems to be a pretty lame musician to me. I can already see the interactions with the other strawhats asking him to sing something only to be appalled by the level of his compositions.
He'll probably be their temporary musician, like Usopp was their temporary shipwright, until Luffy decides to find a real one. Now, will the next strawhat be a musician, I doubt it. It wouldn't surprise me if it was the last member to join.

My thoughts exactly. Besides I´m sure that Luffy won´t quit to ask for a musician until he finds someone who´s a one man band and has a dream that somehow involves music, such as writing the perfect song that will inspire all people in the world or something like that. Well something that involves singing about the Strawhats adventures or something like that. :biggrin:
-
In the translation I have, he says "I'll have to find some friends first. I hope I can find at least 10 people!! And then I'll make a flag!!"
So, by that translation, he could have more than 10 people.
-
I imagine that maybe some existing people in the cast might join the crew. Maybe, in some weird plot twist in a later arc, Smoker and Tagashi temporarily join the crew. Something like that.
But I'd really like to see someone unlikely converted to the strawhats, like a marine, vice admiral, or one of the unknown shichibukai. That'd probably be cool.
-
i don't know about a schichibukai. the only one that slightly caught my interest other then crocodile is doflamingo. not because hes cool but because hes twisted. so far the schichibukai are extraordinary characters like the rest of the straw hats. so in my opinon a schichibukai would bring down the coolness of the straw hats.

i know your feeling, when i finished skypea arc, i was sooooo dissapointed that they didnt got a new nakama there, beacuase having a nakama with wings, or besides, just something not ordinary…it's cool:P but of course, that today i just can't imagine what was it like if they had a new nakama in skypea..it looks tottally wrong to me, now
edit: and btw, i like the merman-woman-musician theory. but i hope she'd still be hot, eventhough she's a merman :P
-
What's so bad 'bout mermaids? or fish-woman? anthros kick ass.
Yeah, Skypeia was fine with no new people joining (although technically, since Robin joined during the beginning of the Jaya arc, she was the person who joined), but if anyone was to join, Oda kind of gave me the idea that Wiper would join, and then say, "What hints? You were looking too hard"
We do need a fishmen/merman to join real bad, I always wanted one to join the crew.
-
But I'd really like to see someone unlikely converted to the strawhats, like a marine, vice admiral, or one of the unknown shichibukai. That'd probably be cool.
We already have someone like that. Vice President of secret criminal organisation, Baroque Works.
Also about luffy wanna get 10 crews, it might not happen. Because what he said originally
"I want 10 people"
"And then a pirate flag"We all know he got the pirate flag when they only have 4 crews. He might not actually follow what he said along time ago. People always change their mind about something. It is a human nature.
-
What's so bad 'bout mermaids? or fish-woman? anthros kick ass.
First of all I don't think mermaids can survive outside of water, which would automatically prevent a mermaid to join. Plus even if they could breathe outside the sea for an undetermined amount of time, the idea of a chick flopping on a fish tail among the other strawhats seems somewhat really wrong to me. Now maybe she could have eaten some kind of devil fruit allowing her to walk on two legs or something, but I'm not too fond of the idea. Too reminiscent of Chopper in some way, and a mermaid on a boat… I don't know, it just doesn't feel right to me.
As for a fishwoman... First, I honestly wouldn't like to see a buttugly female join the Strawhats, sure Oda could draw a sexy fishwoman, but from what we've seen until now, whether it is fishmen or Oktopako, it's not really a pretty sight. A female Franky would be really shocking and distasteful. Then, there's the fact fishmen have crazy physical power. For some reason I don't think it suits a musician. I see the Strawhat's musician fighting style to be really original and based on something else than brute force, something that'd suit a helmsman more.
Now, I realise those are questionable arguments, I'm not trying to convince anybody here, but that's just my personal opinion on that subject.

SPLURTS OUT RANDOM DRINK THROUGH HIS NOSE
SMOKER joining? Sorry, but HELL NO. We've seen how stubborn that guy is, and there's no way in hell he would ever join a pirate group. He has vowed that one time in Albasta was the ONLY time he would let them go… he will show up again, but not as a crewmember, not even temporarily. It's just plain out of character.
And one of the unknown Shichibukai? Shichibukai are former pirates who work for the world government now, or at least give them a share fo their loot. I can hardly imagine a Shichibukai siding with Luffy, who is now labeled an outright ENEMY towards the WG. It's strange.
As for new crewmembers, I can't imagine the musician being physically strong either, Aldrich, so you're not alone on that one. I still say wait and see... Oda will think up something awesome.
-
Hi! This is my first post.
What I want is a priest to join. Aside from the Government, church is the other powerful pillar that controls a country/the world.
Here is the scenario that I could think of. The church is worrying with the current condition of the world due to pirates. They held up a hand to the government and they accepted the church's help. There is a certain group that opposes the church for allying with the government and the priest is a member of that group.
The closest I can think that the church is involved is in Skypiea but it didn't say anything about religion. Yeah, I want religion to be involved in One Piece

Yes, he may be stubborn. But I think he'll change his view in the future. All over the time he thought that all pirates are evil. But then he met Luffy who doesn't fit in this scheme. At the present situation he may be to stubbern to admit it, but I think Smoker will develop in the future and realize that neither are all pirates pure evil nor all of the marine or governmant are good.
So I could imagine him and Tashigi joining temporar quite well. Maybe in some kind of plot where the marine is going to kill a lot of innocent people to uncover the lost age or something like that.
@MintLeech:

Don't forget Bartholemew Bear who was holding a bible during the conference.

you mentioned here that having a female-franky will be bizzare. well, this is my concern too. all the males up'till now, besides..let's say zoro, have their own weird-super funny-oda's humor style-jokes. franky is a great example to the crazyness of the straw-hats, or even the hole world of one piece. so, my point is..nami and robin aren't like that. well, nami's a bit like that. but she's sure not crazy as franky is. that means..probably..that the next woman - will be crazy. and i'm affraid that if i'm right, its not gonna work as oda planned. it just..won't be funny|:

then how about..a SPY? woow, i'm praising myself 'cause i thought of something that cool!! just think about it!! first of all, i solved the problem of the last role. a spy. and! it's pretty fits someone like a marine or a shichibukai. the only problem is..as a spy joining the nakama..he won't be with them a lot, because..he's a spyXD
-
DUDE, with the new ship coming and all, what if it can fit a GIANT on board? What if like, the Straw Hats go to Elbaf finally and a giant joins and he's AWESOME? Dude, that'd be awesome. =)

That's a nice idea, I'd like to see a member of another race in One Piece join the crew. Maybe a giant with the power of the shrinking devil fruit.

great idea, with the 'shrinking' fruit, it might work. without it..i don't think so. 'cause when oda will draw a team pic, he'll have to draw one hell of a pic so that the giant would get in:P

I was just thinking about that. Can't you imagine the hilarity of a woman with a fish-type Zoan fruit but her powers become void when she hits the ocean. so her alternate form is damn near useless. :laugh:
-

Does it HAVE to be a giant though? There are such things (Although I fail to see HOW) as half-giants and quarter-giants y'know. It doesn't have to be 100% giant.
i don't know about a schichibukai. the only one that slightly caught my interest other then crocodile is doflamingo. not because hes cool but because hes twisted. so far the schichibukai are extraordinary characters like the rest of the straw hats. so in my opinon a schichibukai would bring down the coolness of the straw hats.
Doflamingo would NEVER join ANYONE who has a dream! Doflamingo believes in the end of the era of dreams. Meaning, he's going to be the next Shichibukai that gets his ass brutally kicked by Luffy. I just feel it.
As far as a musician goes, well my idea for a musician was blind guy who fights with sound. But I can also go for anyone who attacks with a Gibson EB-0 type of guitar as well.:biggrin:
-
Chapter 1, at the end. From Stephen's script.
Also in the viz translation, the same thing.
So three more people. And I disagree with all the logia-hypers…logias too powerful for the SH's.
-

LOL, reminds me the guitar guy from the TREASURE BATTLE game! maybe he'll join:P
of course, he can't join cause he wasn't created by oda:P
-

Actually I was watching an FLCL AMV at the time I said that!:laugh:
But seriously, I'll take a guy who fights with a guitar or a drum that doubles as a bazooka. But I like my idea the best= blind guy who fights with sounds emitted from headphones. But that'll never happen because I'm not Oda.
And as for a musician's dream, how about trying to find a melody or sound that can stop wars and violence when heard?
I just want a member that fights like Wiper from Skypeia. Wiper would've made a really good scout had Oda given him more of a reason to join up such as a dream but nope, he's just like Paulie: along for the ride. No official membership or anything.
-
Oh oh! Christy wonders if the musician will be last. After ALL that whining by Luffy about "Musician this, musician that," he'll be like, "OMG YAY!" and finally be happy. From chapter 9 to chapter 700, he'll FINALLY be able to rest easy about his dream of dancing to some music.
And Christy doesn't think a Shichibukai will join either. They're all so mean and ugly and stuff. All of them are pirates, evil and mean and jerktastic. Although, a cool Fishman or something might be cool. shrug Now she's just throwing already thrown ideas about.
-
When I said Shichibukai, I was just thinking of a surprise member that no one saw coming. I guess Robin covers that, but a marine would be a real surprise. Same with Smoker, I'm imagining that maybe by the end of the series, under some weird plot twist, they temporarily join the crew. It doesn't really have to be Smoker I guess, it could be Buggy or Blackbeards crew or something.
-
DUDE, with the new ship coming and all, what if it can fit a GIANT on board? What if like, the Straw Hats go to Elbaf finally and a giant joins and he's AWESOME? Dude, that'd be awesome. =)
Does anybody think that Saul would join the crew? I barely know anything about him, but I read some people were talking about him. On Wikipedia, it said that he was a giant and that he was in Nico Robin's flash back. Didn't want to read any spoilers, so that's all I know. :mellow:

are you SURE you want to see someone like buggy in the straw-hats:mellow: ?

Yeah! More Buggy!
Yet…I wouldn't want him to leave his crew...he's just to cool to do so.
But Buggy featuring Strawhats vs. major villain of the arc - I would pay to see that! -
Buggy will reconcile with Shanks and become his ally before the end of the manga. You can quote me on that. And yes, I pulled that straight out of my ass, you can quote me on that too.

Quoted.

Why thank you my good man.

I'd really like to see Vivi join, but it probably on't happen. If (and I'm pretty sure there will be) there's a musician I think it'd be great if the person used a guita as a weapon coughharukocough What's more likely is someone who's a vocalist. If the musician is a female, then she'll definetly be contrasting to Robin's quiet peronality and Nami's commanding, yet sometimes gentle personality. Hyper maybe? :O
I can't really think of any other position, except for an artist (I'm hopeful for an origami artist who ate a paper logia >.<).
-
I'm up for the 3 final crew members to be female. Boob fest. =D
You gotta admit, the mugiwara crew is a susage fest.
-
are you SURE you want to see someone like buggy in the straw-hats:mellow: ?
I actually don't want such I thing, I just have a hunch it'll happen. Buggy's in the grandline for a reason, and it has to be more than fight Luffy, he's out of his league now–his overall crew is weaker.
And yes, an 8 male 2 female crew would be a sausage fest, that's why I'd really like to see one more female in the crew, though I can't imagine the personality. Hyper's a good idea.
-
I want to see a priest like others have said. The musician I don't care is as long as the person is interesting. I want to see a messenger because I think that would be cool.
-
i have a new opinion on who should join. i don't care. as long as theres a giant rebellion against the world government that includes all of the straw hats aquired allies from their adventure i'll be happy. aside from that whoever does join better interesting and likeable. i'm very disappointed with their latest addition.
-
Tla (Triple la) you just made me think of something.
The Mugiwara's are bound to get known or possibly famious for taking out Enies Lobby, makes you wonder if people are actually gonna start flocking to join the crew now. Luffy being the guy he is would probably accept every single one if it wasn't for Nami's dreaded "fist to head" attack. XD
-
I did some searching on crewmembers of a pirate ship and Oda has covered the bases pretty well. Although he largely skipped over the boatswain and the quartermaster (could be considered Zoro), the crew has a captain, navigator, surgeon, cook, gunner/sniper, and will eventually get a carpenter/shipwright.
Surprisingly, most of the sites I looked at also placed emphasis on a musician as a postition of importance. Musicians often got acquired when pirates ravaged enemy ships as well. It would be interesting to see the Mugiwara crew sack a strong ship and take their musician (or even better, get attacked, beat them back, and keep their muscian).
Beyond the musician, here are my thoughts on some other positions to get filled.
Helmsman/Cannon-Loader: Depending on the size of the new ship, a helmsman may be needed to pilot it. If the ship has substantially-sized weapons, a weapon-loader will also be needed. Given the strength of mermen, I would like to see one of them fill this postition. Furthermore, I think it would be rather fitting if this role was female. I personally have a mental picture of a beautiful merwoman who just happens to be the size of Blackbeard's helmsmen (Jesus Berguess?). I would also like her to have a crush on Sanji. She doesn't chase after him, but she breaks things around her when he talks to her because she is nervous. She would have a really antagonistic relationship with whoever becomes the shipwright.
Messenger: I really like the idea of a Lafitte-style character joining the Mugiwara crew. They would stay in contact with the crew, but they would travel out to deliver messages and obtain information on a regular basis. It would be neat if they could walk on water (maybe a Geppou user…another reason Califa felt like a good fit for this role) or utilized a rocket pack. Although a ninja might fit, I don't like the thought of ninjas appearing in One Piece.
Look-Out: This role is rather self-explanatory. A Daredevil-style character would be neat for this one. A blind man or woman who can sense the presence of others could also sense earthquakes, tsunamis, or other odd Grand Line phenomena. I don't see this one being specifically filled, but it could happen.
Cooper: With all the random stuff cluttering the Mugiwara ship, having a cooper to make barrels to store supplies in would be useful. Whether or not barrel-based attacks would be effective (or all that interesting) is a matter of opinion. Someone who could manipulate wood or metal (potentially a devil-fruit user) might take this role. He or she would probably fight with the shipwright over who gets to use the wood and metal that the crew secures.
Common Sailor: This position deals with the riggings and the general ropes of the ship. I suppose the shipwright will likely handle this job, but it seems particularly suited to a guy like Paulie who uses ropes to attack.
The other possibility is that postions will be made that are specific to the One Piece world. I have no objection to this event, but it makes it a lot harder to try and predict this stuff.
