by "healer" i think they mean someone who can heal characters in a snap with some kind of ability. Kinda like mansherry. Healer is a different thing than doctor, but I agree with you. We dont need a healer because that would render chopper's medical skills useless.
Having a healer would also kinda take away from the stakes. If someone got severely injured they could be healed really fast. I dont like that and I dont think that sounds like something oda would do.
-
I know the odds of it happening are like….minus zero, but I was kind of hoping one day there'd be someone who could use both a sword and gun in sync, like so.
Oh well.
-
you never know !! Oda could include someone like this in the future. Not sure where we're going after wano,,, maybe elbaph but after that its not so clear. It would be SUPER cool to see this in one piece.

Guns are kind of underpowered in One Piece, especially compared to swordsmen like Mihawk and Zoro who destroy a mountain with a flying slash.
-
bullets can be embued with haki, and with observation haki that would be deadly. With guns i dont think its about the amount of destruction. Its more about precision and distance.
-
"Healer" is pretty firmly Chopper's territory.
I also would count Luffy and Franky as range fighters. Maybe even Zoro with his flying slashes.
I considered that for them, but ranged fighting is pretty minor for them overall. And for "healer", that can count for support type characters as well. So maybe Robin can count since she uses her ability to rescue someone every now and then. Someone like Betty would count as she powers up others. Stuff like that. I'm just used to mmo terms, but you get the idea.

My Four Nakamas Prediction based on their Fighting Styles Pattern
Zoro - wind; Brook - Ice; Kin'emon - Fire
Sanji - fire; Jimbe - water; 13th - wind? (maybe drunken master fast as wind)
Franky - Franky Shogun (Robot dependent); Chopper - Monster Point (Rumble Ball dependent); Carrot - Sulong (Moon dependent) [HOPEFULLY, Franky can have a Shogun Form, Chopper can transform into Monster Point without relying on Rumble Ball, and Carrot can use Sulong without looking into the moon.[/QUOTE]About this thing with elemental swords:
I believe that Zoro will learn in Wano how to imbue his sword with elements, specifically fire, and also be able to cut it just like Kinemon. This was foreshadowed by three things:- His interest in learning Kinemon's technique in Punk Hazard
- His comment about how fun it would be a flaming sword, when they first started their journey underwater to Fishman Island (chapter 604)
- His burning slash on Ryuma in Thriller Bark
-
I know this was brought up in the last thread but the speculation about Catarina Devon name has been confirmed in the vivre card and isn't mink related at all that was dumbly speculated.
Its her hunting beautiful woman, so yeah she clearly a Nami opponent.
Also more evidence of Blackbeard Ten Titans which should end with Ten Strawhats (not counting captains)

My Four Nakamas Prediction based on their Fighting Styles Pattern
Martial Artists - Sanji (Black Leg Style / Cook), [10TH] JIMBE (Fishman Karate / Helmsman), [13TH] Sumo wrestler or Drunken Master. Position: Writer. (Publicist or Chronicler)
Shapeshifters - Franky (Technology / Shipwright), Chopper (Rumble Ball / Doctor), [11TH] CARROT (Sulong / Lookout)
Swordmen - Zoro (3 swords - Wind / First mate), Brook (1 sword - Ice / Musician), [12TH] KIN'EMON (2 swords - Fire / Tailor)
Mages - Nami (Weather Manipulation / Navigator), Robin (Body Parts / Archaeologist), Usopp (Plants / Marksman)
Luffy - Exception because he can do all. He can do Martial Arts (Animal Theme), Shapeshift (Gears), Mage (Conqueror's Haki), I don't know about swords. Maybe a Rubber Sword or staff when he awaken his devil fruit?
I think these four new nakamas will join at once after the war (with Kaido).
About the Sumo Wrestler, I think it make sense because, Sanji uses his legs. Jimbe uses his hands. And Sumo Wrestlers use their bodies. But a Drunken Master is much cooler! Or a grappler? I don't know! All I know is that the 13TH NAKAMA will be a Martial Artist.
In the swordsmen category. 3 swords, 2 swords, and 1 sword.
In Shapeshifters case, Franky uses technology, Chopper has devil fruit, while Carrot needs to look in the moon.
In Mages, Nami uses elements, Usopp uses nature (plants), while Robin uses her body parts.
The idea is that the Strawhats Fighting Styles are unique with each other but at the same time, Balance with each categories. Each category have 3 Nakamas.
Oda loves balance, patterns, & themes.
Zoro - wind; Brook - Ice; Kin'emon - Fire
Sanji - fire; Jimbe - water; 13th - wind? (maybe drunken master fast as wind)
Franky - Franky Shogun (Robot dependent); Chopper - Monster Point (Rumble Ball dependent); Carrot - Sulong (Moon dependent) [HOPEFULLY, Franky can have a Shogun Form, Chopper can transform into Monster Point without relying on Rumble Ball, and Carrot can use Sulong without looking into the moon.[/QUOTE]Kin’emon is pretty savage leaving his wife AGAIN after 20 years to go sail with Luffy

You'll notice that Luffy boiled the groups down into three: his own crew, Law's crew and Kin'emon's folk. But I'm sure he was just lumping Carrot in with the samurai, right? XD

There just isn't enough time to have four new crewmates join without completely rushing things if even Jimbei isn't treated as being on the crew yet.

No no, see, because Law has a mink on his crew, Luffy just assumed that Carrot was with him.

Can't tell if you people are legit taking that comment as serious indication of her being in the crew.

Well obviously she isn't on the crew yet. Even Jimbei still isn't part of the crew. But it is pretty telling that Luffy would just casually lump her under the banner of "my crew" like that. With Pedro, the story was always making it very clear that it was him accompanying the crew on their journey. The crew and Pedro were very clearly separate entities, but the distinction is much, much harder to make with Carrot.

The difference here is that he's listing off groups, it would be awkward language to specify Carrot in name. You know the only thing he meant by that is his group.

If this was just a one-off thing you might be right. But there's been a pretty consistent pattern of Carrot being included in exclusively strawhat stuff for a while now. Except for Vivi, this has never really happened for any of the tag-along characters. There's a wall of separation that is usually up between the crew and the normal arc friends that doesn't seem to be up for Carrot.

He could have simply said "everyone on the mountain" to identify everyone. Luffy saw three distinct groups and one of them was "my crew", not "the people I came here with" or whatever.
And remember, Carrot is literally already a crewmember of the Sunny, not a passenger. The only question is whether she'll become a permanent crewmember. Here we have her crewing the ship (not to mention the infamous lookout collage):

I agree that Carrot is an unique character so far in the series. She is not like other tag-alongs such as Yosaku and Johnny, Camie and Hachan, Kokoro and Chimney. And I think that the main difference is that she's alone with them, at least since Pedro died. In this sense I totally understand her being compared to Vivi, which is, in my opinion, a Strawhat.
Still, let's see where the story leads Carrot. It's hard to decide about her fate because she just has this unique storyline;

True, but there are still some pretty eyebrow-raising things about her. Such as her dead mentor, dream/inherited will that can be achieved by joining the crew, and most of all, the crystal clear role she would have on the crew. I honestly can't figure out why Oda would spend time on this if it wasn't heading in the direction of her joining. It would just seem like so much wasted time and effort.

No offense but thats literally the same statement everyone else claimed about all other characters who did not join at the end.

The only one I can think of that this applies to is Rebecca with her flashback. But that was in an arc with a ludicrous amount of flashbacks anyways. All other potential crewmate characters have a reason for why Oda spends so much time on them. And none of them have time spent to show what their position on the ship would be (except Paulie, but he was very deliberately a red herring for Franky).

I wasn't particularly active around here during most of Dressrosa, but did people honestly think Rebecca was a possibility? It's set up fairly early in the arc that her goal of freeing Dressrosa from Doflamingo was so she and her father figurine could live together in peace.
I like Rebecca (and wish Oda'd been willing to give her more action), but nothing about her character suggested to me that she might be interested in leaving her homeland to join the Strawhats…
-

Eh, it's just a nuance. Nothing relevant to the discussion, but I think it emphasizes that Carrot is naturally blended in as part of the crew, as of present. It says nothing about the future outcome.
To be honest my nakama radars have been off for a few weeks now, I didn't pay much attention to that little scene. But basically I think it's not about proving or foreshadowing but about how her current situation is. That could change of course.
About Rebecca… it's difficult to defend it now, but I think very early in the arc it could be a thing? Basically before her dream and connection with the Soldier were highlighted. Never followed that trend but there was a time, if short, when she didn't have anything really big against.
-

Her being identical to Nami was a pretty big strike against her right from the get go. People in this thread try to say that Carrot and Chopper are the same, but literally nobody has ever confused the two. The same can't be said about Nami and Rebecca (or Viola and Robin).

Yep, I mean something I'd agree with xD
Rebecca being so similar to Nami would be a big strike against her for a lot of people here, indeed.
-

Absolutely. It fell to the wayside a bit when she ended up being useless in battle, but people were adamant she would join regardless of the story being clear about her dreams all being about Dresserossa and she looked identical to Nami. And Viola. And long before the dwarf princess Mansherry actually appeared on camera. Also Monet, Arlong's Sister, Shirahoshi (nevermind the size) Perona, Hancock, Caimie (nevermind the lack of legs) Sanji's sister, and Pudding, and basically anything female.
Except the ugly ones. For some reason Lola and Jora and Brulee and the like never seem to get quite the same fervent following.

People still think bartolomeo is gonna join even though he's a member of the fleet. I've even seen an article about why a bunch of characters would fit in the crew better than Jimbei would, and he was included in it.

I don't think anyone actually think he'll join. From the sound of it, that article is just saying which characters they would prefer join the crew instead of Jimbei, not who they think will actually join.

yeah that was what the article was about but i've also seen people that genuinely believe bartolomeo will join. Recently too.

Ahh, I see. Keep forgetting that my methodology on this sort of thing isn't all that common (or at least, all that visible).
I'm a largely plot-focused individual, so I base my thoeries/speculation primarily on where the plot seems to be taking the character (and going in general), rather then spending much time focusing on design critique/comparisons and whatever patterns the character might happen to fit. That tends to leave me sitting in "Wait and See" mode for most of a character's story-arc, so perhaps I'm just noncommittal. :/
Hasn't prevented me from being wrong, though… I had better than even odds on Pudding and/or Reiju ending up with the Strawhats all the way until pretty much the end of the Totland arc.

I am similar on that respect, so I guess where the storyline drives is highly interpretable. Oddly enough, Reiju had always better chances than Pudding to me, though none of them convinced me.
-
How on earth did anyone think Reiju was going to join. I'm baffled by that one.
-

Some theories here and there about Reiju eventually wanting to leave the Vinsmokes and the Germa Kingdom due to her different personality and perhaps goals in life. Also some always unclear source about there supposedly being two related members in the crew. I don't know who started that.
The only reason why I'm saying that she looked less far-fetched than Pudding is because I can't imagine Pudding in the crew, like at all, for various reasons but the biggest one is how absolutely dependent on Sanji her entire character and comedic traits ended up being.

He could certainly have done a better job with it, THAT I feel is what we should consider a waste of time and effort. If I'm not hammered over the head with indicators of their qualifications for joining, he's not doing his job properly. Not since Robin have we been lacking in that sort of thing for a prospective nakama that generated this much discussion.
-
How on earth did anyone think Reiju was going to join. I'm baffled by that one.
For my part, both her and Pudding came down to personal uncertainty as to how the status quo could continue and what options were available at the time to break it.
I'd argue that Reiju has suffered as much as Sanji for her relation to the Vinsmoke family (albeit in a less physical way) and I have a hard time believing that Oda would leave her trapped under her father's tyrannical thumb in perpetuity. I was of the mindset that if Judge wasn't going to have a sudden, dramatic change of worldview (or abruptly die and leave Reiju in charge of the Germa Kingdom), then the only option was for her to leave the family behind like Sanji did. And given the situation, the only real way out would've been with the Strawhats. None of that panned out, obviously, but I remain fairly convinced that something has to happen to better Reiju's lot in life, so I won't be too surprised should the Vinsmokes pop up again in a future arc.
That is not to say, however, that I thought she was some sort of "perfect fit" for the crew right out of the gate. She would have needed quite a bit of development down the road to make it work. But then, lest we forget, Robin joined the crew quite a while before it became "real", so I don't think a character that needs future development is entirely out of the running.
The only reason why I'm saying that she looked less far-fetched than Pudding is because I can't imagine Pudding in the crew, like at all, for various reasons but the biggest one is how absolutely dependent on Sanji her entire character and comedic traits ended up being.
In Pudding's case, my thought process was similar to my process with Reiju.
I wasn't (and am still not) convinced that her efforts at covering her tracks during the Wedding Cake creation were good enough to hide the fact that she was actively trying to help Sanji escape. Though it was glossed over at the time, with Pudding being hailed as a hero, I can't see her siblings (particularly Oven) letting it go for long without investigation. While Pudding's lying/acting abilities are said to be top notch, she now has a massive psychological vulnerability when it comes to Sanji and that makes it highly unlikely in my mind that her cover story would survive scrutiny. As a result, her future in Totland looks fairly grim, Big Mom's "favorite" or not.
At the same time, if anything she would have needed MORE development than Reiju to actually "fit" into the crew. Her lying abilities, to say nothing of her memory altering powers, would make it difficult for anyone on the crew to trust her completely and she hasn't shown any notable fighting skills. I think Pudding's Tsun/Yandere shtick when it comes to Sanji could be amusing, if toned down, as part of a broader character dynamic between her and the other Strawhats, but she would need the time to actually forge relationships/make amends with the rest of the crew, which she didn't have in the Totland arc.

She was a cute girl that had the spotlight for a chapter. Doesn't take much more than that. Look at Viola or Arlong's sister.

Given what is bound to happen at the latest Reverie, surely something will happen to shake up the Germa as well. Reiju and the others can only benefit from it, since they're not the kind of irredeemable scum that Stelly is.

I had the exact same expectations towards Reiju. Too bad her story wasn't developed in this direction. It would have been nice a new girl on the team, and one which Sanji didn't perv over. Also, her poison techniques were quite unique.

Do people think jinbei is joining this arc?
I know Luffy told him that he has to meet him in Wano…... but there's a chance Big Mom captured him, if that's the case than they might not meet up until they re-encounter Big Mom
or do you guys think Big Mom will reappear in Wano. Honestly I think the Straw Hats inevitable showdown with the Big Mom Pirates will happen in Elbaf..... but that would be waaaaaay to long a wait for Jinbei to join.... right?
-

Sanji is being pretty restrained with Carrot so far, and he showed in Zou that he has no problems with minks. Hopefully my prediction of him somewhat filling Pedro's place for her pans out. Their scene together at the end of WCI seemed to be heading in that direction.
Also, her poison techniques were quite unique.
With the crew, definitely, but I'm still waiting for an explication as to how her fruit is different from Magellan's.

Perhaps he will indeed show up, but tell them the Sun Pirates and Vinsmoke Family are Big Mom's prisoners, setting up a further reason to fight her later. Of course, unless she also shows up at Wano?
-
Am I the only one who thinks we might not get a crew member this arc?
Only thing I can agree on is that it definitely won't be a new character introduced in this arc. I'm a little surprised by that as far as thinking we'd have new characters to genuinely discuss for a good while, but at the same time I'm not.
Do people think jinbei is joining this arc?
He said he'd come. We know Big Mom is coming too. Whether he ended up getting captured or not, he'll be there. His official joining will be a perfect way to close out the arc.
Sanji is being pretty restrained with Carrot so far
It has not been lost on me that both Sanji and Brook treat her normally, even in Sulong form for the latter.
-
Funny, because I feel as though its been hammer after hammer hurled headwards ever since Pedro blew up.
It's not like with Franky, who we we hit on the head with ever since he first showed up (unmasked) and fought with Luffy, and in the span of less than a whole chapter, it was cemented. It's rare they aren't a shoe-in from their first appearance. Carrot's a pretty wasteful exception if Oda goes that route. Like I said, if he's intending on it, he's going about it entirely the wrong way and sending a lot of mixed signals. Even if she does join, that does nothing to quell the objections. It'll be the effect of Brook stepping on Zoro's swordsman toes, to the Nth degree.

I hope he will… But sadly I do not care that much since the 2nd postponed joining
-
Well Smoker is definitely not the next straw hat, his booster card came out and he's number 122 not 10 or 11
not that I really think anyone actually thought he would join the crew
EDIT: Now that I think back a bit there was one member who thought he would join and was very serious about it
and Robby said he might because he was a logia and had a white color scheme and he's been around for a while….. but I never thought he was serious about it
