If a Musician joins, I hope he/she is a singer, who plays one or more instraments.
He/She could have a personailty in which they are only inspired to write music by seeing amazing/dynamic pirate battles (which could lead to their dream being "To watch a perfect battle, to write a perfect song"). They could be a very passionate person (to a comical extreme) about -everything- they do.
And since Luffy constantly declares he's going to be the Pirate King. ..well. There'll be plenty of battles on that path.
AND with this whole Enies Lobby situation, they'll be in plenty more battles to come.
..wee. >_>
8 now, 2 more?

WHOA, there's plenty of funny and creative theories here… me likey. I still doubt Smoker will join the Straw Hats, even temporarily. Coorperation in another case like Alabasta, just maybe, but he would never "join" them like that... why would he need to? He has a bunch of marines under him. He has enough of a crew as it is.
As for Buggy being on the Grand Line, and someone (forgot who, and ain't looking back) mentioning that his overall crew is too weak to take on Luffy... I don't realy think so. After all, we have seen a TREMENDOUS growth with everyone of the Straw Hats... what would keep Buggy and his crew from "growing" as well? The dangers of the Grand Line is what makes these characters grow, and who the hell stated that it's not a possiblity that Buggy got new crewmembers as well? I keep considering Buggy more of a rival than a villain,actually... he at least lives a true pirate's life, unlike so many others we've seen.
As for the musician... I wouldn't want it to be a blind guy who fights with sound. I'd hate for Oda to pull a Daredevil. It's just been seen so many times it's not cool anymore. But knowing Oda, he'll think up something awesome for a musician.
And while I do absolutely love Laffite, even after only seeing one scene with him, I doubt a character like him would be in One Piece... I can't wait to see his fighting style, though, what with it being described as "Ultra-violent methods" by THE WORLD GOVERNMENT. :P
-
Has this idea been said yet? For some reason, I hope for one of their member, or rather, a pet, to be a non-living thing that ate a Zoan DF. May sound strange, but I look forward to that…
-
Maybe they kidnapped Lassou :P
-
Didn't read all the posts and am sorry if anybody mentioned this earlier.
But if Going Merry was counted as a party member (which I really think she did), the new ship must too. -
I always wanted the musician to be a 16 year old girl, who is not smart like Robin and Nami, but more naive like Chopper and Ruffy. As for her dream and tragic past, the musician must have a tragic past. I am not so sure what it should be, writing the perfect song or something like that.

I'm hoping that if we get a third female member, that she won't have a backstory several arcs after she joins. I don't like that pattern. It can still be fairly tragic though.

Don't know if anybody noticed, but Bellamy has 10 crewmembers, just like Luffy wants…

oh really? i have'nt noticed that. are you sure? i remember their 'fiesta' at the bar, they had a lot of people…i think.
-
So, we have a captain, a fighter, a navigator, a sniper, a cook, a doctor, a shipwight and an archeologist (Btw: an archeologist is also a very importent position for a treasure hunting crew. If they want to find the One Piece, they'll definitely need Robin. Some people forget about this by listing the positions of the crew.)
I could imagine a lot of stuff. A quarter-giant helmsman, who wants to drive a ship through the most dangerous waters of the grandline. A fishman scout (I'm not sure about a dream in that case, but I'm sure that Oda'll manage to find a dream for something like that). And a female musician, maybe something like a siren, which wants to write a song about big adventurers and goes with the strawhats to write a song about them…
I think, Oda will surprise us with some new unique characters joining the strawhat pirates in the future arcs.
-
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
no doubt fame will come from such a great conquer. but i doubt that luffy would take them all. he would probably say that he doesn't want all those weak people messing up the crew. and once again he said he only wants 10 people.

yup, im sure, with bellamy they are 11… and theres 3 girls, rest guys, just like I think the strawhats will end up like, and I think... not sure though.. that you're able to se what position bellamys guys have in red or blue... so maybe we have some sweet answers there for the positions for the next mugiwaras..

@Duce:

A Mary Sue is a type of fanfiction character that are typically overly idealistic to an annoying degree. Sometimes they're author stand-ins. The way you described it, it just reminds me of one of those types of characters. I've come across fanfiction with a very similar idea to that, actually.
I'm not saying that a 16 -year old female musician would be bad, whatever Oda chooses to do, it will be good. -
I want a ex marine officer in the crew, maybe a merman, and someone in around the age 22-24.. ^^
-
I want a fishman or fishwoman to join.
Just to see the (EXTREMELY) mixed reactions of Franky and Nami.
A (part?)giant or logia user would be cool, too. But I'd like a fishperson because Spandam seemed to show it the world was racist towards them.
-
i don't think spandam was racist. just a stupid, evil government agent. i don't remember him saying he hates tom because he was a merman or something like that.
-
That sounds like a Mary Sueish character to me. :mellow:
"Vivi" was the first thought that came to my mind. Give her Igaram's Saxomophone and she's set, aye?
-
Yeah, Vivi did have a little Mary Sue aura coming off her. But she didn't really do anything particularly well, so not that much. I thought it was funny when Luffy socked her. I didn't dislike Vivi like a lot of people do, though.
-
Y'know what I'm surprised nobody's mentioned yet? A plant crew-member. It would make more sense than having an object "eat" a devil fruit. Plants absorb nutreints from decomposing matter via their roots, so who's to say somebody didn't just leave a devil fruit under a tree for a really long time? Wait, there's something that a pirate needs. A parrot! Yes…a tree that ate the parrot parrot fruit! It can be small and...a parrot, or a giant, wooden bird...thingy! I have a feeling that Oda could actually pull something off like that.

I have a feeling that Oda could actually pull something off like that.
That idea sounds a lot like my idea for a female botanist with a Plant Logia. And a little bit like my idea of a wolf eating a Tori Tori no Mi Model Owl.
In fact, I've made a couple of ideas for various ranks and potential Mugiwara Kaizoku for my fanfic series. In fact, let me pull out my list for a moment:
Blacksmith- This was my first idea for an OC as a crewmate. Blacksmith who utilizes an anchor as a trademark weapon and possess the powers of the Magne Magne no Mi. But then I realized something…..he should have his own crew instead! I suppose a Blacksmith could work on a pirate ship in case metal is needed as a component OR to temper things such as Zoro's swords. But it might come too close to Shipwright to make a difference.
Botanist/Gardener- This is really a variable one. No doubt Sanji's gonna run out of veggies/fruits/ect. for cooking ingredients with no shops nearby, Nami's tangerine trees would need some extra care, and let's not forget Luffy's knack for scarfing down anything that smells deliscious. That's where a botanist or any plant expert in general comes in. I've stressed this idea before: female with a plant logia. Don't get me started on that whole Logia class is too powerful jazz. It CAN work if done right. You just gotta find something that can be hurt regardless, unlike Sand, Lightning, and Fire, Plants CAN be injured so that pain can be passed onto the target even if they can make their body into plants to avoid damage, the plants still take damage.
Helmsman- This is a big popular one amongst all us. Of course you know what I'm going to say: quarter giant or half giant. I'd say Merman (D'oh I mean Fishman. Can't we just use the term for BOTH sides of the species? We've been translating "gyojin" as Merman instead of Fishman for years!) but I've got another idea for that. As for how a quarter giant or half giant would fight, well I suppose you could salvage the anchor weapon idea or maybe give him something bigger as a weapon. Or it could be just brute strength but I don't think that's how Oda swings with characters. It'll probably be something unexpected. (I like that shrinking fruit idea someone came up with)
Scout- This is where the fishman idea comes in. I'm going with a Scorpionfish Merman/Fishman who can fight ala Zora Link from Zelda: Majora's Mask. Right down to the removable fin blade boomerangs. (and since it's a scorpionfish, it's a poisionous version) Along with weapons such as orbs of water, a blue marlin rapier, starfish shuriken, seashell arrows, the list goes on and on. Why a scout? Because the idea is ninja-esque. Heck, Wiper could've easily taken on this position if Oda wanted him too.
Priest/Priestess: I don't see why people keep suggesting this but, what the hell, why not. Unfortunately, the only idea I can think of is a female Skypeian with a Light Logia to sorta symbolize an angel. And no, I don't think they need to be back in Skypeia to pick one up. They COULD possibly live in secrecy down below after all.
Guard Dog/Pet: I once came up with the idea of a Wolf a Tori Tori no Mi and the ability to fly as a dog/bird hybrid but I then I realized: They already have a reindeer with a Zoan fruit as their doctor. Still, the idea was good.
Musician: Probably the idea I liked the most. Blind guy who uses his ears and/or ESP to identify where he's going and fights by emitting sounds from a pair of headphones. Don't ask me how it would work, but I imagine the sounds being different sound effects and taking on different shapes and effects for each attack. (i.e. the sound of a lion's roar would launch a sound wave attack shaped like the head of a roaring lion with it's fangs beared at the victim) Dream? Create a sound or melody that could stop raging wars when heard by all.
aside from that whoever does join better interesting and likeable. i'm very disappointed with their latest addition.
Are you saying you HATE Franky? Blasphemy! A cyborg who's powered by cola, has unlimited possibilities for weapons, calls himself SUPER, and can really know how to party hard as a shipwright and you're dissapointed in him? It must take a lot for you to like a character then pal.

That's a good idea. In addition, a good new crew member could be one of the "objects" that ate a devil fruit–it would be a unique character that could only exist that way. Sort of like Chopper, and the hito htio fruit.

The character design is excellent.
The character as a person leaves a touch to be desired. I find him extremely over-the-top, and I figure any crew of semi-normal beings with him will eventually get fed up with it.
I want to see a gyojin with a tale that expands on their role in the world. Perhaps she can be from Fishman island, or her backstory is wrapped in their politics. By all rights, they should be making humanity their bitches… what's going on?

They should be making humanity their bitches? I don't think so. Arlong just got carried away with all that superior race stuff because he had control over a bunch of helpless villagers the World Government didn't give a toss about, only sending weak or crooked Marine soldiers to deal with them. As soon as strong humans showed up, they got their asses kicked relatively easily.
They may be physically more powerful, but the way I see it, based on the numbers of fishmen we've seen on the manga as of now, they're far less numerous than humans. And if their leader and more powerful fighter is a shichibukai, there's atleast 6 known humans (Sengoku, Aokiji, Akainu, Bartholomew Kuma, Donquixote DoFlamingo, Mihawk Delacure) who're on his level. They'd get pwned if an ethnic war happend IMO.
Sorry for the off-topic.

That sounds like a Mary Sueish character to me. :mellow:
Yeah shudder Christy has had enough Mary Sue Musicians being young and cute. It will make her sad if Oda made a female Musician like that. A Male would be funny though, with drums or something super weird or unexpected like that =)
@Duce:
This could sound retarded, but who is Mary Sueish?
A Mary Sue is a character that is super awesome, cute, perfect, and who everyone loves. Usually she's 16, wonderful, perfect, and grabs the attention of all the men, especially one that the authoress (if talking in Fanfic style) likes the most. Usually this involves scary OOCness, but thank goodness if Oda DOES make a Mary Sue, it won't make anyone Out of Character.
A male version is a Gary Stu. Wheeee.

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.
If Oda can have cyborgs, like FRANKY, then he can do Ninjas too, and because he's Oda, it would have a really cool twist…
So it's not completely implausible...
I also think at some point, they may even pick up a former intelligence officer from the government... they'll definitely need one from here on out... since the Straw Hats will have marines and government agents crawling up their (censored) everywhere they go now.
-
Has anyone heard of that kind of wooden flute that was always on a ship in the late medievil times but never made it to modern day until the Merry Rose was lifted from the bottom of the sea?
I think the Musician will have something like that, made a pretty horrable sound by todays standereds aswell so it could leave room for a joke and maybe the dream will be to make an instrument that will become world famous?
-
I hoped a sky-piean would join them, but you can't have all in life, but a musician is definitly in, maybe Luffy annouces him the co - captain, and Zoro, Sanji and Usopp beat the crap out of him.
Maybe Luffy annouces Gol D. Roger as one of his nakama's for he will become the Pirate King (yet again this might be a little to heroic for him, or maybe not) -

no,no,no. franky is not yet an addition. there is still possbility that he won't join. and even if he does he hasn't yet. i'm saying i'm really not a big fan of robin. i love franky
-

And I think the "why" of that could be potentially interesting. If the fishmen were, for example, devised as a super-weapon leading up to the Lost Century, a mutation as a result of whatever went down then, or were all but killed off at that time, it ties in pretty nicely to that mystery.
-

from the moment we saw his flashbacks and his dream was revealed, he joined the straw-hats. that's my feeling, though.
-

So are we reserving a bunk for Buggy? And Kuro?
It's absurd to assume everyone with a flashback and dream will join the crew. Franky's so weird that join or no, he HAS to be explained to greater detail.
-
I dont know why.. but i wanted someone ( anything could be human, merman, giant ) temporarily joins the crew and messes things up with them. Like he/she/it became good friends with luffy and then luffy do what he is told to do. Then, get the StrawHats to quarrel among each other, gives tension among their relationship.
Its a stupid idea. But, i want them to have internal fights and then get back together knowing how stupid they have been. and the bond become closer. (seems like movie 6)..
