@Monkey:
Oh of course, medicine! Oh wait, we already have that character.
Or maybe in cooking? Nope nope, we have that guy too.
Maybe some sort of hobbyist gardener of no use to anybody, yes surely this is one of the characters Oda will create for the all important main cast.
If the gardener can improve upon these plants that the crew uses, then why not? If he/she can improve the medicines, spices, and Pop Greens that makes the crew stronger as a whole. Grow an Adam or Eve tree.
And this is exactly why I told you to drop this whole line of thought and concoct some other position to cram a dwarf on the crew.
Because that is never in a million years going to be a position.
I guess. I focused on the dwarves because of their cultivating abilities potential usefulness. I tried thinking of other more traditional positions but couldn't really see the need for anybody based on just filling them right now.
This is a stupid argument since you and I both know how obscenely important Robin is to the crew and story (not to mention as we've just said, having scholars aboard ships wasn't unheard of at all).
Unless you also think a hobby gardener is somehow going to actually be super important in a non-traditional way lol.
As I stated I jumped the gun with my Robin argument. I know she is important to the story's progression. My point was that it isn't as much of a traditional/known position for a pirate crew to have. It is a useful position on uncovering history which could grant treasures or valuable information.
Let me get this straight.
You're surprised that in a discussion forum…people are discussing?
Because otherwise it kind of sounds like you imagine this to be a communal blog where everyone just leaves comments with out talking about other people's comments.
Or do you think something ridiculous like, that people should only post agreements.
No. That is not what I meant or stated. This is the next strawhat crewmate section. So all sorts of assumptions and guessitmations about who is next will be made. Most will be wrong but that's fine. Like the lottery. We play but most lose. Some get a little pay out with some accuracy.
It's more than imagination, it's knowing technique and common sense as well.
What kink in the chain has made you think an extremely unneeded, unmentioned, and hell…supplementary (as in he just grows stuff for other people to use, not himself), and essentially already filled position..would exist on the crew? For a dwarf character that has not even appeared? Or in the case of the ones that have...not really done anything but have a few lines with almost no spotlight cast on them?
…yes it is more than imagination...and just my wild prediction. It's not meant to hurt or offend someone that they feel Oda's work is being disrespected. We all wonder what's going to happen next. That idea popped in my mind, thought about the story and characters at the time, and what would help the crew.
So if I don't rush to jump off a bridge with nothing under it but an abyss, there's something wrong with me? Interesting theory.
Psshh…ok. Take your time. All I did was ask your opinion on what you think is next since I haven't seen it. You could have stated it 30 pages ago for all I know. You could show me the ways of what true One Piece logic is with a sound theory of your own that most people agree to. Or maybe you could be afraid to stick your neck out because someone will find holes in your theory. Not saying you are but I don't know unless I ask.
This is what I mean by fan-fiction, you tell me you're thinking like Oda, yet just kind of trample any Oda presented information that isn't convenient to you.
Oh? Two people already perfectly handle these two things? And just spent two entire years getting even better at them? Never matter! We need someone else to also do them.
Like honestly the surgeon thing is even less sensible than the botanist thing. Because that is quite literally totally covered by Chopper.
You're just ignoring the manga at this point to suggest that one.
If it does not fit, it does not fit.
I cannot think like Oda. I don't expect to get my prediction spot on. Hell 5% would be a win in certain cases. Chopper got better at using and mixing herbs for medicine. Usopp got better at using Pop Greens for fighting. So now the two of them combined are certified master botanists. Compare to dwarves who have more than likely studying plants(maybe fungus too) their whole lives or at the very least most of it. Is the botanist role necessary? Of course not but I thought with finally getting a proper introduction to the dwarves with such a useful skill could be member worthy with the right individual in place.
The world has a perspective of him? All we ever heard about him was that he was known in the North Blue. Robin is from West Blue, and everyone else (sans Chopper) is from East Blue in Jaya. None of them knew anything about the story. It's a total non-issue, just a minor historical shame in one region of the world of no importance (recall Sanji knew the story, and reacted indifferent to every part of the redemption narrative).
The one place where it DID matter was with his descendents, with Cricket. That was Cricket's issue to bear and resolve with himself.
The Norland Redemption narrative ended with Cricket telling Masira and Shoujou that their Jaya adventure was over.
You got me. It isn't that important to correct Norland's history to others if he wasn't that widely known.
Him having some freak popularity on one island of dwarves has nothing at all to do with it. And it would be a really terrible dream for the main cast.
"IM GOING TO STAND ATOP THE WORLD"
"IM GOING TO BE THE STRONGEST SWORDSMAN"
"I WILL CHART THE WHOLE EARTH"
"I WILL BE A MAN OF HONOR"
"I WILL FIND A MYSTICAL SEA"
"I WILL FIND THE CURE FOR EVERYTHING"
"I WILL DISCOVER THE LOST FORBIDDEN HISTORY"
"I WILL BUILD AND SAIL THE SHIP TO MAKE THE GREATEST QUEST"
"I WILL REUNITE EVEN AFTER DEATH WITH A DEAR FRIEND"
"I WILL correct a children's book's historical issues :)"
Well…I prefer the finding rare plants dream and spreading/manipulating/selling/etc in some fashion...GROW A BIGGER GREEN BIT NEAR JAYA...SPREAD TREASURE TREE ADAM AROUND THE WORLD...I'm scratching my head here. If I see a dwarf that gives off dream vibes then I continue this at a later date...lol
