When Jinbe told Neptune he has reasons for joining the crew it seemed like he already had a good idea about what to do with the rest of his men. Then you have that really touching scene where Jinbe and Luffy shared blood along with Luffy screaming at Jinbe to join his crew and I don't think we have to worry about him being a fleet captain.
Next Strawhat Crewmate (Vol. 6)
-
-
What about BM? Do you honestly believe that she'll just let Jinbei go? It's likely she'll seek revenge on his crew for crossing her.
All those who refuse her end up having their loved ones getting decapitated.when pekoms decided to let sanji escape in return for saving zou, he made us believe BM is someone you can talk with and find an agreement. same for jinbe when decided to go talk to her about joining sh.
the key with her, and most family-based organizations, seems to be the respect. if you respect her it's (almost) ok, if you disrespect her, like not accepting her invite to the tea party, then it's going to be hectic.
-
Oh man….It's less likely of a full on long shot now. Carrot is adorablely savage. And strong in a non Nami gag way lol.
-
Huh does Carrot have Haki?
-
Why? She has sharp teeth, for Luffy that is enough if caught off guard.
-
Damn, Vivi is just shown for a few panels and now I want her back in the crew more than ever.
-
She wanted to help steer the boat. Carrot for Helsmen! :ninja:
@maxterdexter:Why? She has sharp teeth, for Luffy that is enough if caught off guard.
Guess so
-
Hmm, I wouldn't mind Carrot as a crewmate either…
Haha, overall I'd love to have a Mink onboard. They've been so much fun until now.
-
Awww shit, I don't care if there isn't enough evidence for her yet, now I really want Carrot to join the crew.
-
Funny thing about Vivi is that years ago, lots of people in this forum hate her, but now she's getting loved.
-
Compare all of vivi with ace, shirahoshi and Rebecca. And momonosuke up to a volume ago.
We need a princess (or prince) that gets shit done.
-
Okay… I've lost. I'm supporting the "Carrot next crewmate theory" now.
And Pedro would be cool as hell too.
I don't know which one I'd go with the most. -
Oh god the Carrot fanbase grew 5x today. y'all getting your hopes up until she gets a flashback tragedy where she loses her carrots.
-
After this chapter it's hard not to fall in love with Carrot.
I don't see her joining just yet and I'm not rooting for her(just yet) but if everything eventually leads to her being a crew mate like 7 years down the line I won't complain.
-
Carrot is a sympathetic secondary character, nothing more nothing less.
I think that her character overlap a little bit with Chopper
Both very young
Both clueless about the world
Both want to discover the worldSure they aren't the same, she's way more "genki" than Chopper and her gag is different for example.
But she isn't that much of nakama material from what we know of her.
Don't jump on the bandwagon too soon.That's just my opinion of course
-
Chopper wants to become a great doctor to cure all diseases in the world though.
-
And thus the Vivi vs Carrot Wars have begun.
-
Chopper wants to become a great doctor to cure all diseases in the world though.
A big reason of him joining the Sraw Hats was because he also wished to see the world.
-
I knew it… Last week Pedro and now this.
Now waiting for the next new characters introduced soon
-
If Jinbe and Vivi were the final crewmates the One Piece Fandom would lose it's collective shit.
-
And thus the Vivi vs Carrot Wars have begun.
Oda is SO aware of the "NN" hype. He is clearly playing with the readers and you can expect Tea Party to be a living hell for anyone who takes this matter seriously, I can smell Oda upcoming cruelty from here.
-
Carrot ain't joining. Neither is Pedro. (And so much for the whole "he likes being in high places thing. Vivi just did the same thing.) Neither is Pekoms.
If just one of them was travelling along that'd be a thing, but the three of them is to balance out and add multiple dynamics.
Carrot's cute ad all,but she overlaps Chopper way too much.
-

I'd be pretty happy imo :D
-
Carrot's cute ad all,but she overlaps Chopper way too much.
Aside from being furries, how they overlap though?
The only reason so far I wouldn't like Carrot joining is because her body shape is exactly the same as Nami and Robin. I would prefer an eventual third woman in the crew to have a different type of body.
-
@.access:

Naive innocents that don't know how the world works that want to go on pirate adventures for fun?
And seriously, at this point, "being furries" IS too much of an overlap. Last members gotta be crazy unique.
-

Any love Chopper had for adventures was left long ago, now he is part of the trio who is always afraid of the unknown. And Carrot doesn't strike me as naive, maybe air-headed.
Personality wise, so far they seem completely unlike to me. Carrot's personality based on this chapter is more like a Luffy after too much coffee.And seriously, at this point, "being furries" IS too much of an overlap. Last members gotta be crazy unique.
Now with this I agree. That alone makes me think any mink joining may be impossible.
-
Carrot's cute and all, but she overlaps Chopper way too much.
We are completely denying that "fact" in here and you can do nothing about it, MUAHAHAHAHA!!
-
Vivi is back at full force and depending on how the Reviere comes down we might even see her traveling the New World in order to meet the Strawhats.

You're all underestimating the power of KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII:ninja:
-
Carrot is great and fun but I don't think she will join the crew. Instead, I'm thinking that she will continue her adventure in the NW by joining or maybe even leading the 8th fleet under Luffy.
-
Carrot is too OP for Nakama.
-
Carrot certainly fits the 'bratty little sister' family role that I've been thinking might be filled.
Of the arbitrary disqualifiers people bring up she technically met the Swirlyhats before Luffy and her initial has already been covered by Chopper.
I think she's got a better chance of joining than Pedro, but have to see what else she brings to the party.
-
-
If Vivi magically got her Miss Wednesday personality back, I would support her over any other character. But I can't be happy with both regular Vivi and Jinbe joining, I need at least one of the final members to be funny.
-
So much Carrot support. It's an epidemic.
She is going to be a very entertaining character.
-
@.access:

I can't see anything loveable on her Miss Wednesday personality.
-
Can't we just let Vivi be a princess and Carrot be adorable without discussing them in that thread.

This post is deleted!

@abi:
not gonna jump on the bandwagon too early, but damn Oda sure is teasing us with quite some characters that can fit the new nakama :D
you know that can be applied to luffy too right? the captain himself
There's a difference between naive and willfully ignorant.

Miss Wednesday would be fun. What shenanigans happen when Vivi "Off to Kill Laboon" Nefeltari meets Brook and she decides to finish what she started when they return to the whale.

Really? Where !

@Monkey:

Why it's in Wonderland, the hole that rabbit came out of to greet Luffy in the others. I hear everyone there is Nakama material. Then again that might be Hell, but it depends on your perspective.
-

I'm confused are you saying Luffy is willfully ignorant or Carrot?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Last members gotta be crazy unique.
Would we need a new race for this or are you just saying personality style because there is still long arm, long leg, samurai, Dwarf, Giant, and mink that are available to join but none of those are particularly unique. Fishman is covered by Jinbei so if ur referring to race why not mink?

And still on it sails, to the chime of funerary bells and unseen screaming children, sailing it goes, through a sea of endless fog and rain.
The ship of damnation.
Alternate to our own reality, it travels the empty seas, aboard are they.
Who? It is an alternate Straw Hat crew, lead by an alternate Luffy, and staffed by them.
Them. They who are the retarded popular ideas for people who would obviously never join the crew.
Well here, in this perverse limbo, they have. And so they stand. Broken narrative devices never meant to be, standing blankly mouthes agape starting into the sky, all lined up, characters never meant to function beyond their own shores.
Paulie, Perona, Wiper, Carrot, Rebecca, Pedro and many more. Lifeless. Functionless. Accidentally here.
And alone at the cursed vessel's wheel, stands alternate Luffy. A permanent unhappy face fixed ahead on the endless fog where no adventures will ever lie.
And so on they sail.
Except no Monet, because that's too fucking stupid even for this joke story.–- Update From New Post Merge ---

No goddamnit, lol.
Fishman is covered by Jinbei so if ur referring to race why not mink?
Maybe he was referring to people in this thread when he was talking about "naive and willfully ignorant" because this is like the nineteenth post asserting that a Mink member would fill a unique niche in a crew that has had a walking talking humanoid animal person in it since volume seventeen.
-

Luffy doesn't read the newspaper, falls asleep during flashbacks, and hastily brushes off anything he doesn't understand as "magic".
All the strawhats are out for adventure. That's not a unique trait in and of itself.
But being completely naive and knowing absolutely nothing about the world and thinking pirates are cool and just having a adventure would be fun? Chopper filled that exact role. He morphed into a scardey cat marketing mascot over time, but that was his original role.

After
-stretchy body, shorts sandals and strawhat wearing guy with a facial scar
-triple sword in mouth bandnaa wearing, three earings green haired guy
-black suit swirly brow swoop hair smoking kickboxer chef
-weird mouth and nose pinnochio with slingshot and wide eyes
-unusual nose and unique eyes and haircut mystery woman from Pulp Fiction with an arc of intrigue behind her
-transforming blue nosed reindeer doctor with a broken antler, special hat, seven different forms
-metal nosed three chined ace ventura popeye cyborg with star tatoos that drinks cola in a speedo
-afro skeleton musician fencer gentleman tied to a plot from volume 14,
-chubby oni fishman with a unique scar who was first mention in volume 10Aside from early on Nami (who came very early in the series where just being a girl WAS enough to stand out, and later on got the tatoo and log pose and staff) all the main characters are VERY distinct looking and unusual with very unique silhouettes and a ton of time and energy put into their unique qualities.
We're going to need something a little more distinct than "rabbit girl."
Something that shows Oda spent real time developing the backstory and design of the character and went through a bunch of designs to get them right. A scar, an unusual nose, really crazy starting outfit, a haircut we've never seen before, an unusual color when we saw her in the color splash, zebra stripes, something.
Carrot's cute, I won't argue that, but there's nothing standout about her design at all. Nothing that says "Oda put months or even years of thought into this design."
And before anyone pulls the "give them time" nonsense, when big characters make an arrival, Oda makes it a point to give them big memorable scene immediately. ALL of the Supernovas had memorable entrances and they all appeared in the same chapter. BAtomelo and Cavendish both stood amongs crowded arena groups of like 40 other contestants. Oda has no problem giving memorable scenes to main players and making them hard to forget immediately.
Carrot has been round for 20 chapters now and her most defining characteristic is that she's a girl. Pedro's most defining characteristic is he was left off camera.
At least Pekoms is a zoan mink lion-turtle that has mafia ties that wears sunglasses, that's something.
-
Even Robin made a big impact when she showed up. She was drawn in a style that still stands out significantly (that he has since watered down….grumble grumble).

Another one that I find to be equally stupid is Caesar. I've never understood the crewmate hype for either of them. Is it because they're Logias? Because Monet's hot? Because Caesar's been used for comic relief? I've just can't see how any pros that people give for them joining can possibly outweigh the massive number of cons that they both have.

I don't remember anyone wanting Caesar, I mean I'm not doubting it happened? But I was emphasizing people who had big backings (or just recently).
Monet had an obscenely stubborn and ridiculously random following. -
Carrot being the cook on the future mink alliance crew would be funny since all the food would be carrot related just like in this chapter with pedro or pekoms as the captain of the mink crew like the dwarf and giant one instead of saying everyone we see for crew mate we can say if they have a higher chance of joining a alliance crew like carrot joining the mink crew or if they have a higher chance of joining the crew like Jinbe since Jinbe actually has someone that can lead the fishman pirates when he leaves to join the straw hats the fishman pirates will be the fishman alliance crew most likely lead by aladin.

The reason people suggested them was because monet has boobs and caesar has a logia lol.

I'm recalling a brief but infuriating popularity of Baby5 as a crew candidate.
