So Barto is going to join, right?
Next Strawhat Crewmate (Vol. 6)
-
-
So Barto is going to join, right?
No, sadly someone else + Jinbe
But as it was said for years now… 10 members + Luffy will be the end... 11 people = football team = Oda likes football
-
Of course it did.
The nega-strawhats having 11 members is all but straight up saying that their mirror opposites will have 11 members.
But is that counting the horse? Stronger could throw off the tally. Last time we saw them, counting Stronger it was 11. But he could have added one more during the timeskip.
(Though the doctor has always been an obvious counterpoint to Chopper, same way Van Augur was obviously going to be Usopp's problem)

I think they'll have most likely added another member over the timeskip.
I always very much considered Doc Q + Stronger as a package deal.

Yeah, I doubt Stronger is a member. Sronger might fight with Doc Q though, so we could see a Strawhat "pairing" as a final joining (Vivi + Carue, Kinemon + Momo or something). Remember that there are two other major end game crews with animal companions (though we don't have numbers confirmation on Shanks or Buggy). I don't think the role on the crew necessitates the matchup, because Lafitte seems like he's going to fight Brook.
This revelation means we're getting one additional strawhat member no questions asked, at least. So this thread will go on.

I've been wondering if this 10th Captain is an already known character.
Would you guys prefer a new character or a returning one?

Wasn't there mention of Aokiji joining the BB pirates?
-
No there hasn't been sucha thing… Only that they have some shit together. Aokiji is most likel the Batman of One Piece... Doing his shit on his own in the shadows
-
What if Stronger ate some sort of human fruit? I certainly doubt it though. I've always expected the doctor and the animal VS the animal doctor.
-
Stronger could have a neanderthal fruit or something. BB pirates seem to be a lot more brutish and cruel than the SHs so it would be a suitable variation of a "human" to parallel Chopper.
-

A new one. There's just no way I would appreciate a returning character as Blackbeard's commander.
-
You seems to be pretty pissed about the forum lately. You should try taking a break for a moment.
That's all because of the dog lover (Forgot her name) and some senior members who shitstorm him.
-
-
Are you forgetting chopper?
Sengoku has a human fruit too. There's different models.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
So, uh, what do we make of this?
Did Luffy call Law his nakama? I dunno, guys…
Is this legit? Did Luffy use that word for Law? I'm not saying that means Law's a crew member, but it would change the context that Luffy uses it then.
-
I assume stronger and the doc fight together as they seem like a reference to the horseman death, you know, a sickly old man on a pale white horse with a scythe, they kind of go together
I'm pumped to see who this new member could be though
and no I don't think it's aokiji, Jesus Burgess was just telling BB to not form a deal with aokiji right after Luffy's fight, I don't think they made him a titan captain and it's already public knowledge after 30 minutes
plus smoker is bound to know Black Beards titan commanders (being a vice admiral, being a knowledgeable character, and it being a Yonko's top subordinate), I don't think smokers reaction to seeing his old friend would be "hey… did you maybe... join the black market" it'd be more like "why did you join one of the most ruthless pirates in the world and become a top commander for him!?!"
-
The tenth Blackbeard commander, similar to the seventh shichibukai and the third marine admiral, is a brand-new character.
-
Is this legit? Did Luffy use that word for Law? I'm not saying that means Law's a crew member, but it would change the context that Luffy uses it then.
Yeah, it's legit, to the extent that Luffy definitely said "nakama". Here, you can prove it to yourself:
The question, I suppose, is whether Luffy was referring to Law, or to his crew. Sanji et al. are arguably in danger, but Luffy isn't planning to rescue them and he probably wasn't rushing to escape the Colosseum on their behalf. He also seemed to have faith that Franky et al. could handle their mission with the Tontattas. Really, I'd say the only character whose life is in danger is Law.
So… yeah. Anyone with better Japanese than me please feel free to chime in.
-

Could be, though personally I prefer a Supernova/Worst Generation member joining up with Blackbeard. Urogue or Capone are my picks.

I know nearly nothing of japanese, but if Luffy was talking about a group of people instead of just one, shouldn't be nakamatachi instead? If so, then yeah, he was probably talking about Law.
-
Hey guys, Brook will be the next Nakama!
-
-
So yeah as people have said, Oda has basically just said that the Strawhats will number 11. Bigger news than folks are letting on.
-
So what do y'all think of Leo's chances of nakama now(not that he was a popular pick anyways)? He is my choice but…that Tatababasco is giving me more doubts.
http://read.powermanga.org/read/one_piece/en/0/737/page/16 http://read.powermanga.org/read/one_piece/en/0/737/page/17This I think will be an upgrade for Usopp in the future to his Tabasco Shot. The questions I have are:
- Will Leo succeed? If not, will he fail horribly or gracefully and how?
- Can Usopp learn to make the Tatababasco or will it require a dwarf? If it needs a dwarf, can the dwarves make a mass amount of Tatababasco so that Usopp wouldn't have to worry about running out?
-
I suppose I have no real basis for this, but I'm pretty confident the last remaining member will be a girl. One of the Tontatta would be cool, but Wicca's basically the only option on that front and she has nothing going for her. I mean you could force things like "interacts with crew, unique design, position as scout" but there aren't any _real_ arguments. I don't really know why I'm posting this…
-
I really think the Straw Hats should have a grandmother figure.
-
Not 100% sure but I think its going to be Violet. Most members (actually I'm pretty sure all of them) were with Luffy to witness him beat the main antagonist. If anyone has a chance of joining this arc, they have to be with Luffy right about now. That narrows it down to Violet and Wicca.
The problem with suggesting anyone else is that they're not with Luffy and its extremely unlikely that they will team up with Luffy before the fight with Doflamingo.
So its either Violet or Wicca or no one. The problem with Wicca (or really any of the dwarves) are that they've been mostly doing their own things without Luffy. Also the dwarves have their own nakama (like Leo said about Manshelly). There's no real reason for any of the dwarves to leave. Also their fighting style doesn't appear to be very interesting.
Violet on the other hand already said she plans on leaving and its unlikely she'll be able to stay on Dressrosa if she's wanted by the government by helping the Straw Hats defeat Doflamingo. We haven't seen her fight but she's presumably strong since she's an executive officer and assassin. Also future members usually help out Luffy and his crew through out the arc. In her case she helped save Sanji, showed him Doflamingo's plan, told him the ship was under attack, helping Luffy enter the palace, and very likely fight and defeat at least one of Doflamingo's subordinates. Can you think of anyone that has helped the Straw Hats out more this arc than her?

So its either Violet or Wicca or no one.
If we go by records, so far Luffy never fought the big boss only once. So the chances are that his clash with Doflamingo in the castle will not be the time when he beats him.
Regarding fighting style, I think a dwarf (or Rebecca, god forbid) would add some diversity to the crew since their fighting style is centered on speed, something no SH does (the one that comes closer is Luffy with his Soru, but that's far from being the center of his fighting style). Although Bartolomeo defensive style would be even more unique…
-
None of the Dwarves have come off as crew material just because I feel like we still haven't gotten too in depth with them, but as Brennen said, they could theoretically fill a niche in the crew of something along the line of a scout. I sorta wish Bian had more of a personality and interaction with some SHs so far. The combination of dwarf and insect zoan would work great for a scout without being quite as hax as it would be for Violet to come along. I had liked the idea that Usopp would come back after the timeskip with Kabuto having eaten a beetle zoan somehow. That didn't happen, but I think a bug zoan would make a cool Straw Hat. If I learned anything from Pokemon it's that apparently a lot of Japanese boys love collecting bugs as kids, so maybe Oda's got a few more cool insect zoans up his sleeve.
The race as a whole has already been established as being strong, so it wouldn't be quite so much of a problem with the issue of an individual having to join the SHs after they've done 2 years of training. I'll hold out for Manshell or Moncherie or whatever her name is, but if her design doesn't scream NN off the bat, I'd bet we won't be getting a dwarf as a member of the crew, though they could certainly show up at the end along side the Riku Army for the final confrontation.

Nice thought, but "nakama" can be used to refer to either a group or an individual, and Luffy has used it to refer to his entire crew in the past.

I like Leo, but I still think he is far too underdeveloped for serious consideration at this point in time. I hope he doesn't get his ass kicked by Trebol, but if that's the only way to get Usopp more involved in this plan then I think it's gonna happen.

A couple other characters may be with Luffy when he beats Doflamingo: Kin'emon, Kanjuro, and Law. And Issho, I guess, though I'd say it's pretty certain that he's not gonna join.
I really think the Straw Hats should have a grandmother figure.
Gaburu's grandma for next nakama!

I have feelings it's going to be a woman

I don't think she will join but if you really are thinking a dwarf might join what about manshelly
she's said to be the princess of the dwarfs and super obnoxious, but I find it weird she was pointed out so long ago and still hasn't been shown yet, this far into the arc, Usually that would mean she definitely wouldn't join, but with this arc obviously already making ways to connect to other arcs (big moms ship, kaidous retaliation for the destruction of the factory, how doflamingo will play into it, and all the potential allies for the strawhat/heart pirates alliance) is it safe to asume that maybe some of the dwarves might ally themselves with the straw hats to take down kaidou (depending on why the dwarves were needed for the fruits… it could get pretty dark) and that her uber obnoxious personality might make it impossible to convince her not to tag along for revenge.... meaning she'd the time needed to bond with the crew? and maybe become a nakama canidate
still don't think any of them will join, but just thought it would be worth mentioning
-
I really think the Straw Hats should have a grandmother figure.
I want an old lady for the SH since Sabaody.
You can find a badass old guy in nearly any battle manga you think of, but a fighting old woman is almost impossible. I can only think of Genkai (Yu Yu Hakusho), but even her would revert to her young self when fighting seriously. I really want to see an old lady kicking asses and having one in the SH would be perfect. Sadly, by now I already gave up… also, I have my doubts if an old woman could be popular among the general public of a shonen manga enough to be made one of the main characters.I don't think she will join but if you really are thinking a dwarf might join what about manshelly

The way Manshelly was presented is one of the main things holding my hopes up for her. I really find it weird that she was presented so long ago and focusing on her personality more than anything else. Maybe it was just because Oda could be preparing a joke for when she is finally revealed, but I can't see how it could be since we don't have any expectations regarding how a dwarf should look - unlike with the mermaids.
Not to mention her personality seem to be really unlike Nami or Robin. Based on what Leo said, she sounds like what I would want for the third female SH.Every week I look at the spoilers hoping to find out she finally made her debut, but nothing… And to be fair, right now I think is already too late for a character to be introduced and developed enough to justify joining the crew. Sure, Oda could pull a second Robin and develop the said character in a later arc, but seeing as the Tontatta live in secrecy is hard to think they have outside connections that would allow them to be developed outside Dressrosa (unless they met other dwarf tribes along their way?).
-
I don't think that anyone will join this arc - I'm thinking that we probably won't get anyone until Jinbei officially joins after the Big Mom arc. (I could be wrong, but it feels like that arc is coming up soon)
-
I've been wondering if this 10th Captain is an already known character.
Would you guys prefer a new character or a returning one?
A new one, Oda's new characters are even better than all the ones we see in paradise, Barto, Cabagge and Issho are the super stars of Dressrosa, I want more new characters.

@.access:
right now I think is already too late for a character to be introduced and developed enough to justify joining the crew.
I don't know, I'm very sure that lots of people this arc will become allies of the straw hats later on
some I even imagine might board the ship and travel with them as allies, not crewmates
so I've been trying to establish the characters introduced this arc into three categories, people only involved in this arc (derossa only), people who will be allies in later arcs (allies of SH's) and people who will travel on the ship with them after this arc (temporary shipmates), and by only being involved this arc I mean saga wise (the taking down of a Yonko), I'm pretty sure that all the islands the SH's visited will be important in the final war arc
but like you said they've taken soooooo long to reveal her, and that's actually why I think she might hop aboard and travel with them, because almsot all the roles and sub plots for this arc have been played out already, it's really a matter of how the SH's accomplish or mess up there missions, I can't see her having a big role now, and Oda obviously didn't have that scene where leo talks about her so that she could be a character who just egts swept to the side, I think she'll have a role in the taking down this Yonko and maybe even travel with them
so question though, who do you think will be in the three groups I mentioned (my predictions)
Dressrosa only: Rebecca, King Riku, Tank Lepanto, Toy Soldier, Abdullah and Jeet, Fighting Bull, agyo, Acillia, Violet, Jean ango, Mummy, Damask
allies of SH's: Revolutionary three (sabo, Hack, Koala), Prodence kingdom (Ellizabello II and Dagma), Kelly and Bobby Funk (only because I think oda will want to use Kelly's ability a few more times… could be totally wrong though)
Temporary shipmates: Bartolomeo, Cavendish (convince him taking down a Yonko will increases his popularity?) , Chinjao, Sai, Boo, Manshelly (?)
I'm under the general assumption Oda put all those characters in the tournament because they'd be useful in the future and feel indebted to the straw hats for saving them from being toys, especially the ones that have ties to larger orginizations, but still not sure which one of the three catagories they'll fall into so I put this last catagory
No idea: Bellamy Blue Gilly, Ideo, Hajrudin, Suleiman, Orlumbus, Rolling Logan, Meadows, other dwarves
what do you guys think? (and don't rip me to shreds for this it's just some thoughts, not claiming to be a 100% on any of these perdictions)
-
No idea: Hajrudin
I'd think Hajrudin's got a pretty good chance of being an ally seeing as he's a giant aligned with Elbaf. Oimo and Kashi went back to Elbaf, and I'm sure with how things are going for Usopp he's got a bit of a reputation there. Once Hajrudin finds out the Straw Hats are around and potentially being saved from being a toy by Usopp himself, we may see a bit more development with him apparently being one of the new crop of giants coming out of Elbaf.
I've actually got to wonder what the conflict will be once we finally get around to Elbaf. I'd think it would have to be some sort of outside source of conflict, because from what we've seen the natives will probably embrace the hero Usopp with open arms.

@Monkey:
So yeah as people have said, Oda has basically just said that the Strawhats will number 11. Bigger news than folks are letting on.
What about substitutes? Not sure what rules Oda would follow. I don't think it would that many substitutes but just asking on the possibility of some.
www.uslsoccer.com/…/rules/index_E.html
Five (5) substitutions are allowed per league game with no re-entry permitted in the USL professional leagues. Six (6) will be allowed in the PDL and W-League.So what would be each Strawhat's soccer position?
Luffy I guess is the goalie, Zoro and Sanji are strikers…not sure about the others yet. Don't really know soccer well enough to judge positions though. -

There's still the potentially bad ass old woman in the marines who we've yet to see fight properly. She definitely won't be joining, but it's a start.

yeah, I'm pretty sure most of these characters will help seeing as how they've all got bigger connections and the SH's will be the ones to save them and there going to fight a Yonko… well I think there plan is to weaken Kaidou and have Doflamingo side with Big Mom and start a war.. but I'm sure something will go awry and they'll get mixed up fighting a wakened Yonko and his crew with them and their allies
also to note orlumbus is in the Yonta Maria Grand fleet, and Rolling Logan is a commander of Majiatsuka Kingdom, both sound like pretty big orginizations that could hel;p the Straw hats if they felt indebted to them (not sure they will though, that's why there in undecided)

Well i dont know who will join, for sure i dont think it will be rebecca. Her goal have nothing to do with luffy after DD downfall and after that he will find her father(toy soldier) so i dont think she will left him again to sail the sea. Also i rule out Barto who sure, he will be an ally, but wont join SH crew. Bellamy have bigger chances, and i m sure soon he will play a role similar with the CC underlings in PH. But if Bellamy join a crew, i think that crew will be Barto crew(i see him turn as a fan of luffy, and he already had some interaction with Barto).
So my 50cent will be in Jimbei, or Kin/his son after Wano arc.

I actually think Hajrudin will be their enemy on Elbaf, atleast at first. He didn't strike me as honorable giant unlike others we have seen so far and he might hold grudge against Luffy for not getting the logia.
I think your right about the outside source of conflict in Elbaf. Little Garden would have been perfect foreshadowing for that don't ya think

(…)
This I think will be an upgrade for Usopp in the future to his Tabasco Shot. The questions I have are:- Will Leo succeed? If not, will he fail horribly or gracefully and how?
- Can Usopp learn to make the Tatababasco or will it require a dwarf? If it needs a dwarf, can the dwarves make a mass amount of Tatababasco so that Usopp wouldn't have to worry about running out?
Tatababasco is sure an upgrade for Usoppe's Tabasco star (maybe he can upgade it even further). Most spices are plants, so I guess Usoppe only needs seeds to plant it. Since the TS he has a green thumb anyway. Leo's DF sounds interesting, does it come Handy the next chapters? I hope so.
-
@Gol:
Could be, though personally I prefer a Supernova/Worst Generation member joining up with Blackbeard. Urogue or Capone are my picks.
If it's one of them it has to be Urouge. Capone doesn't have the necessary charisma for that. Or the personality but that is more personal reason.

I guess it could be as simple as just planting seeds but it seems they had to "cultivate" it and test the spice enough to make sure that it would be an efficient weapon. I mean…why add only "one" Tatababasco fake grape? Why not 2-4 more to increase the chances of her eating it faster?
The factors I think of are:
1)To make one tatababasco takes a lot of effort(unknown...not sure how they made it yet)
2)A dwarf can only carry one at a time(doubt it...they are strong...could have had a carrying case for multiple fake grapes)
3)Plot for Leo to fail so that Usopp can actually use it for the first time as an upgrade(most likely)Leo's DF is very interesting to me. I see mass potential in it. There has to be a reason why he is the chosen dwarf for this task(the most important part of the revolt). I think it is probably because he is the strongest dwarf and his DF will be useful for this task. Perhaps he sews Sugar's feet down so she can't run away. Maybe sew her other parts of her body so she can't defend herself. Somehow Leo loses the "grape" (probably Trebol involvement). Usopp gets the "grape" and shoots it into Sugar's unsuspecting mouth....or something like that.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
I like Leo, but I still think he is far too underdeveloped for serious consideration at this point in time. I hope he doesn't get his ass kicked by Trebol, but if that's the only way to get Usopp more involved in this plan then I think it's gonna happen.
Well…this could be a strong development moment for Leo...or he could just be abused but he has yet to really display the fighting potential of his DF. There has to a reason Leo is the lead dwarf and seen in the manga more than any other dwarf by far. If Leo fails(most likely), Leo could maybe hold his own against Trebol long enough for Usopp to succeed. We shall see.

Usopp gets the "grape" and shoots it into Sugar's unsuspecting mouth.…or something like that.
If Leo does have to confront Sugar face on while giving her the grape and not doing it stealthily, my best bet would be that he sews her mouth shut once she puts the grape in it so she's unable to spit it out.
