$10 on Bart
$30 on Rebecca
$40 on Barto, just cause Shabba ranks.
$10 on Bart
$30 on Rebecca
Why don't you just bet your account? Either one of them could join and you'd be fine.

AROUND 10!

Unless I have some account I don't use and forgot about, you're absolute shit at trying to call people out.

lol I was saying you should say you get banned if they don't join or not, what the hell sort of random paranoia is this? ahaha
The closest Barts ever going to get to joining is simply as an ally crew. It is possible for somebody to be a fan of someone without dropping everything you've worked for and swearing fealty to them.

Oh whoa sorry I totally misread it as "either of them could go and you'd be fine" in reference to accounts for some reason lol.
^ You trippin, Jinbe wont just be an Ally.
Besides , the Sun Pirates are hardly a crew anymore , they are merely a faction of what they once were.
What do you know about both crews?
I can't see bartolomeo joining luffy. I see him and his pirate crew like hancock was.
Rebecca seems to have a sight chance now since we're going into her past and I think luffy may be willing to give her the mera-mera no mi.

You mean as the past of Vivi and Shirahoshi? Maybe the Toy soldier will join as well
No, I don't see Bart joining the crew, maybe for an arc or two with some odd ball sort of an excuse just to idolize Luffy for a while but not actually join, still the interactions between him and the crew should be priceless.
I think Don's grandson might have a chance though.
How is it that Barto doesn't have a chance but the leader of the Happo Navy do exactly, I thought Chinjao explicitly said that his letting the Happo Navy under Luffy's wings
Unless I have some account I don't use and forgot about, you're absolute shit at trying to call people out.
I see what you did there
What do you know about both crews?
I know there is only one named member, which usually represents relevance in Oda's world.
I see Rebecca getting the Fruit - but not joining the Crew.
Barto and the Navy guys will be more allies to add to Luffy's unofficial Whitebeard style fleet he isn't aware of.
I really hope she doesn't get the fruit. Currently. She's not deserving of it. And also…A FIRE LOGIA IS THE WORST LOVER FOR A WOODEN PUPPET MAN!
i want a fat guy to join someday.
or a black guy.
or a fat black guy.
Lol, Bartolomeo just cut someone's tongue. Rebecca wants to protect someone, but in the end she will be protected, again.
Both won't join.

Jinbe's coming and we've got Usopp, he's just not dark skinned. Though for a few chapters Usopp was the fat black guy.

Prove it to me? Maybe he cut him somewhere else as Nami has cut her hand instead of Usopp? But even if… Franky and gang beat up Usopp for money and Robin laughed at Vivi and the whole country
They are pirates and not some holy angels
You mean as the past of Vivi and Shirahoshi? Maybe the Toy soldier will join as well
Those two are princess. Joining SH means they leave their Kingdom behind. It's not like anyone expect the SHs to be rolling around with a Giant Mermaid. It's as silly as those that think Hancock will join the crew. Rebecca fits the bill perfectly. Looks like she will have the Mera Mera No Mi given to her too. Although I don't want it. Tired of the characters like that.
Who is the princess Tyo Soldier and Co want to rescue? Well, we don't know so far

Really? :getlost:
You are right. I know what actually happend
Although I think Barto would be a good addition to the crew (he would be the only person there who would respect Luffy all the time while the others would be mad at his carefree way), I doubt he will join.
I can see him becoming more like a Jigglypuff kind of character (if anyone remembers him from Pokémon anime) until he decides to stop following the SH around and become part of Luffy's fleet like the Happou will probably become and like the Rosy Life Pirates already are… kinda.
Really? :getlost:
You are right. I know what actually happend
All you have seen is blood in the next panel but not where the actual cut was… Bart easily could have cut somewhere welse in this panel and was just trolling him before... The very same as Nami/Usopp scene, where we have seen blood and Usopp falling back... And you know how it ended

Um either way, that scene was kind of grotesque even if he didn't cut off his tongue. He cut him SOMEWHERE, does it really matter where?
I don't know why you guys are on Rebecca4nakama or Barto4nakama. They've been here for like 10 chapters, little has been revealed about them. Just because Rebecca had that one panel hinting at a past, does not make her an extremely likely candidate. Don Chinjao got a chapter, does that mean he'll join? And just because Barto is a fanboy doesn't mean he'll join either. Shakky was a fan of Luffy's… Rika is also a fan... does that mean they'll be nakama next? Until we see hard evidence I'm not jumping on this "every new person we see with a distinct personality will be nakama" ship.
Um either way, that scene was kind of grotesque even if he didn't cut off his tongue. He cut him SOMEWHERE, does it really matter where?
And where is the problem? It's not that the SHs are holy people and never did such stuff.
And where is the problem? It's not that the SHs are holy people and never did such stuff.
I'm not saying it was a problem. I just found it weird how you were arguing "maybe he didn't cut his tongue" when cutting him in general is pretty grotesque itself. You were saying "maybe he didn't cut his tongue" as some sort of argument that he's not actually that insane.
And where is the problem? It's not that the SHs are holy people and never did such stuff.
Can you point out last time that Luffy cut someone's tongue just for lulz?
bartolomeo got a real chance now imo. chinjao just said "grandchildren to join mugiwara" in order to confuse people i think. LOL.
sai and boo are his sons right? so one piece might likely be done before chinjao gets his grandchildren to join the strawhats.
one thing about bartolomeo though, isnt his face more or less like jinbe? and jinbe is surely to join….chinjao hunted luffy and was reverted by luffy, so he wanted his grandchildren to join the crew. but if there's a rival that would join luffy, there's a more direct one...you get my drift though. LOL
rebecca is a no go, the dwarves are too (chopper got that covered.)
its down to barto and toy soldier (i know, baseless) for me right now. (wished hack to replace jinbe, but oh well)

Chinjao's men are his grandsons I believe. He wants Sai and Boo(?) to join the Straw Hats. What it means pretty much is Luffy will have even more allies when he needs them rather then these guys actually living on the ship.
While Barto does love Luffy I don't see him joining the crew at all, not before there is more development at least, even then it's still 0% in my book.
Luffy is so much more than the person told about in the Newspapers and probably depicted as someone who is down right evil, Luffy is no saint by any means but I'm half expecting Bart to get a bit of a wake up call when it comes to Luffy's personality. Basically I'm half expecting him to become slightly disenchanted with the Luffy.
There is no dwarf introduced at the moment who is potential crew mate material that's for sure, but I don't buy the idea that because Chopper is small most of the time, someone smaller then him can't join. Sounds like double swordsmen arguments to me.
ah, thank you, so sai and boo are his grandchildren. now it got me thinking.

I don't know, I still think "Nobody at all" is in the lead.
Have you even considered that?
People. If anybody's going to become a SH, it's going to be OBVIOUS from a million miles away and no debate will be necessary.
Jinbe will come later to round out the main crew, and the rest of the SH army will be affiliated/allied crews. What's so hard about this?
I don't even really think Oda has space for any more characters on the boat. It takes too long to give everyone the proper spotlight already

Chinjao didn't say the Happou Navy should join the SHs, He said they are under his command. If you read CCC script, it said, I pledge them to you just like the Kuja Pirates. Meaning whenever he needs them, they will answer his call.

Franky wasn't, nor Robin for that matter.
Franky especially until his flashback. He basically was another Wiper waiting to happen until the beginning of Enies Lobby.

Franky was insanely obvious as soon as he took off the cloak and mask lolll
I was there, take my word for it.
@Gia:
Franky wasn't, nor Robin for that matter.
The second you see the guy with the crazy hair, three pronged chin, metal nose, popeye arms, wearing a speedo, doing a dance number….
It was pretty instantly clear he was going to be something really important. Oda invested a LOT of time in making him unique.
It might not have really settled in he was crewmate material until the flashback, but that followed only 10 or 15 chapters later anyway, during which time he showed off a looot of potential.
If there were still doubts AFTER the flashback... it was only because you couldn't get past how weird Franky looked... the same attitude which carried over a few years later to Jinbe. (People even doubted Brook for some reason... I'll NEVER understand that.)
@Gia:

And Robin is the exception to every rule. She is unique for a reason, her dream is a special case.
Oda's not going to ever do another Robin.
And even she stood out like a sore thumb visually when she first showed up.
@RobbyBevard:
(People even doubted Brook for some reason… I'll NEVER understand that.)
It's probably because he agreed to join as soon as he showed up.
@Monkey:
I don't know, I still think "Nobody at all" is in the lead.

well i do, but im just trying to be open for other's opinion.
have you ev–--whatever. im having a discussion with them. good riddance.

Brook was clear as day. Luffy wanted a musician for the longest time and enter a skeleton that can play violin. The ones I didn't see coming was Franky and Robin, I kept thinking Robin will betray them at some point. I thought Kaku will be their shipwright when I first saw him.
Bartolomeo has no chance of joining the crew.
Rebecca and Bellamy do.
No one introduced in this arc has a chance at joining the crew.
well i do, but im just trying to be open for other's opinion.
There's opinions. Even uninformed opinions come from SOME sort of experience, having experienced, heard or seen something related to the topic along the way. And different opinions are fine, and based on personal taste. "Pepperoni pizza is the best pizza." "Sausage and mushroom is the best pizza."
There's theories. These are based on facts and data and patterns, formed around something, usually logically and forged through heavy debate and study. This is the interesting meaty stuff that's really worth talking about. "Pizza from Ray's has the best crust due to the spices they put in for flavor and they cook its at 437 degrees, but Michael's pizza has a certain kind of sauce that's divine. I grew up in New York and have had what most consider the best pizza in the world on a weekly basis and I think that…"
Then there's stupid ideas that make no sense. These come from the gut and people should strive to understand and appreciate the material better than to just throw them out. "I think pizza with mayonnaise, peanut butter, and corn is the best. I've never tried it, but it sounds weird and different and unpredictable! Anything can go on a pizza after all!"
Opinions are great, long as they have some backing.
Theories and ideas are worth discussing.
Stupid ideas are just… stupid and should be squashed. Refined and trained to the point they're at least opinions... based on SOMETHING... anything.
So that people can learn and become better at understanding the world around them... not just a silly kid's manga, but storytelling, life, and talking to people in general.
It's like living in Poland and then going into a thread about american politics and spouting off opinionated nonsense when every single one of your facts your opinion is based on are wrong and you don't understand any nuances involved. Of course people are going to stomp all over you if you do that.
Opinions are respected here. Theories and ideas are debated at length and become stronger for it Stupid shit isn't tolerated very long. (except in threads dedicated to it.)
….wowkei. see ya guys around.
The only people that stand a chance are
Kinemon: Maybe with Momonosuke. I have made justifications for this in the past but:
Momonosuke could eat the Fire Fruit and team up with his father. There two crews alluded to (maybe three!) that have a character/animal combo that the Strawhats might fight 1 to 1. Doc Q/Stronger, Mohji/Richie and The Bald Guy on Shanks Crew + That Monkey. Three end game, small pirate crews contain a matchup the strawhats do not have. This combo would fit that perfectly. Momonosuke might also not eat the Fire Fire fruit, but he could, and then Kinemon could control the fire with his technique. High potential for an interesting power that isn't used. Kinemon himself also has an interesting devil fruit and has interacted with the crew before. He's also stuck with the crew for another arc most likely. Overall he has the highest potential. Kinemon alone could work, but I think with his son, he actually fits in the best out of any character introduced thusfar. Also, Momo eating the fire fruit hinges on his "incomplete" devil fruit not counteracting his current one. He would likely eat the fruit by accident, which would be a pretty interesting resolution to the situation.
Rebecca: Biggest maybe on the planet, all she has going for her is the highest potential of owning Ace's DF and having a tragic backstory. Luffy doesn't hate her, he's going to "save her", she could have an interesting power. Doesn't really have much else. Low chance, but slightly plausible.
Bart: He's interesting, but probably just a long term major ally.
Rebecca's got like, 4 different plot threads and ambitions tying her directly to Dresserosa. She's fighting for a happy life where she is with people she already knows specifically… she's not looking to branch out past Ricky, the one legged soldier, and the Colosseum gladiators.
Even Doflamingo as her objective is secondary, she's more concerned about fixing the town than with actually beating him up, she just sees that as the only way... and a cheap powerup as the only way to even conceive of achieving that end. Her dreams and goals are pretty well established already even without a flashback, and they're very focused on where she is.
(also, her design is super generic)
Kinnemon and Momo are pretty much promised to stick around for another island or two, but they have a a comrade to rescue and a home to go to. One of them could conceivably have stood a chance, but both of them? No way... and especially not after they add a third member.... and Oda's not going to randomly kill one of them or have them split up just so the other can go with the SH.
Bart's reputation is too bad for the strawhats, and his fanboyism would get old as regular thing fast. He ain't joining either.
