Would you like to see a female mermaid(merwomen or whatever the hell you call them) join the crew and complete Luffy's 10 nakama crew? I'm counting the ship btw.
Would you yes or no…OH i shoudl do a poll...nah..

HELLZ NO.
Unless it isn't Mary Sue. As soon as you say something like that, I see Mary Sues everywhere.
Looking at me with their unoriginally pretty faces.
Normally abnormal eyes. shudder
Love of excitement and action.
And their relationships with the targets of fangirls.
Dear god.
Please, end me.
So cold.
A Ms. Monday look alike? One with huge muscles and a mustache?
No.
I had thought that it was a possibility…and I suppose it still is, but with a new cremember having just joined, and the next island being Fishman island, I don't see them getting a new crewmember from there this soon.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…..no
No… No... No, no, no, no, no, no... No. No way.
2 females = more then enough. If another female did join, that would be it abosoulte. Bellamy had three on his crew thats why I'm saying it.
Its a mans world. lol
But seriously no unless she is a combination of Franky's strength and Luffy's silliness and if she was both of those then she would be unoriginal.

Why on earth would Oda make a character like that?
But seriously no unless she is a combination of Franky's strength and Luffy's silliness and if she was both of those then she would be unoriginal.
…Just what are you talking about?
No… No... No, no, no, no, no, no... No. No way.

Yeah, 'cause Bellamy's crew is a prime example. WTF?! There are two females and six males. How are there too many? Stop being a chauvinist.

Ahem… I'm saying 2 is enough and it is considering the manga's target audience. There are about 60 female characters in One Piece compared with the 160+ males (including minor, filler and all).
I also said if one more joined that would be it. How am I a chauvinist? I'm not being extreme here and I'm stating that I don't want to see another woman on the crew when I am a woman myself.
Besides... As I said... I'm a woman. I prefer there to be guys on a crew for a reason (it won't take much to work out why). Just no more like Franky.
Who says mer need genders? ;o)
As long as we get a mer i'm totally fine.
NO! The next crewmate has to me a musician with a magical bass violin!
^^^ Not sure what's up with the racism, why can't mer's be musicians?
I actually think that they need a helmsman still.
Chopper acts as the helmsman too. He moved Merry's stickshift thing around and he probably stil does it on the TS (thousand sunny). I guess Franky is a musician too. Man, what position are they missing? Oh, cabin boy! They need a cabin boy!
Anyone played Grand Battle? (Grand Battle! Rush!) Theres Fishman musician in that in the corner of the Arlong Park arena. If you read the data books (blue/red can't remember which) he was a member of Arlong's crew… Piscaro or something he was called. But they included him in the game, don't think he actually appears in the manga or anime. But Oda designded a lot of characters that never appeared.
Anyway, whether or not Mermen like music, the Fishmen have musicains at least. but considering the Fishmen look ugly, I'd be happy if they DIDN'T get a crew member that was one.
I think it will be a mer/fishwoman, personally. I also think its a pretty sweet idea.
Why a new crew member so soon, we just got a new one.
I am hoping for a Bard to join the crew.
If that female mermaid-whatever is hot, then yes.
A Gyojin female = no chance in hell, cause Nami and her would end up killing each other.
A MERMAN female = possibility, but I doubt it.
The problem with a Merman female is that she'd have to be Franky's age in order to get around, and having another character that age on the SH crew would be akward. It's okay with Franky cause he's just a big frat boy at heart, but I'm sure any other person would be too serious and reserved. Robin-chan came off that way in the beginning, but it turns out she does have a playful side, it's just repressed.
Musclular women are the best.
franky being on the ship also means another thing
MODIFICATIONS! WHOOHOOO!
so he already has an aquarium, what's preventing him from making an underwater door for a possibly new young mermember?
not saying i'm behind the idea, just pointing it out to the few people who're going against the idea.
actually a gyojin would be cool lol i'd prefer one
Mermaid? I don't think that would work. No way of getting around on land means she'd have to stick to the water, and that would mean she'd be absent from a lot of plot. Although there'd be more gags for Sanji.
A gyojin girl could be interesting, though, especially since there's so many awesome kinds of fish for Oda to do designs with. And lots of fish are poisonous.
Female who is interesting =/= Mary Sue. Oda is a much better writer than that. Have some faith in your manga-ka!
If the mermaid is a cute little girl with Devil fruit powers then yes
Why wouldn't Oda put a female mermaid on the crew if he has a chance to draw another half naked gorgeous girl to join them?
Plus there could still be a musician, since i dont count ships as crew members.
I personaly find fishmen/women lame and hideous characters and would hate to see one in the crew. A mermaid, why not, but she'd have to be old enough (past 30 right?) to be able to walk on her feet, and we already have a mature woman on board, so it could be unoriginal.
All in all I think we could wait a little bit longer to have another crewmember. Afterall we had one major saga between the last two crewmembers.
Why not a Cabin Girl?
I have said it before and I will say it again… :P
I want a female gyojin flying fish to join their crew... She can fly and swim good as well.
Combine a flying fish colors

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
AIIIEEEEE!!!

The problem is lots of people want a Mary Sue, without actually knowing that they want a Mary Sue.
Oh, how they twist minds with their cold eyes.
So cold.
I want a female gyojin. I want her to be obnoxious to Luffy and hold him underwater when he is annoying.

He seems like the type of man who enjoys being the women and being dominated.
And yet he wasn't all that keen in Volume 11 when Alvida seemed to want him.
Is that a pecularity of the Viz translation? I'm just reading it now, and I don't recall getting it (or honestly much of anything else) from the scanlations.
On a female in general:
1. At this point, the ratio of men to women will probably be higher anyways - even if Luffy meant 10 people plus himself, eleven minus six would be five. If Luffy meant ten including himself, that means at least 60% of the crew is male.
2. It's arguable that Oda still considers Vivi a crewmember, which would still make the ratio 2 to 1 as it stands now (unless you add Carue, I guess. . .). Her "presence" should be taken in consideration when thinking about the gender of future crewmembers.
3. Not all of Oda's readers are men - there are female readers, too, and it wouldn't hurt to have another woman or two on board.
As for merman/fishman, it certainly wouldn't be a bad idea to have someone who specializes in under water combat as their primary job - when you think about it, Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp are combat specialists. They act as crew on the boat, too, but their primary job is to fight. The others can fight, too, but it's not their official job.

Dude, Franky is a Cyborg with weapons built into him. I don't think he's there simply to plug a leak.
I'll vote yes, I think a female gyojin or merperson would be awesome. I think the crew needs one more woman, not sure why. :D And a fishwoman could be pretty, if she isn't a cuddlefish fishwoman or a barracuda or something. Maybe an angel fish*?
*a very pretty fish that is also the title of a pillows song
EDIT: Also, seeing a fishwoman who's official job is a fighting position (ala captain, swordsman or sniper) would be cool. As technically the rest of the crew are cooks/navigators/archaeologists/shipwrights/doctors who happen to be really good fighters. What job's left though? Underwater Combat Specialist is kind of wordy.
I think it would be a good idea. The team does need a strong swimmer with all the DF abilities in the crew.
Has anyone took in consideration, a pet? Like a massive turtle that could be used as a secondary means of transport?
Because merman land would have some kickass pets.
Screw any "pretty" fish-type people. If there IS going to be some sort of merperson then I hope it's cool like an angler fish or a swordfish. Though Zoro already has swords. Or a crab man.
Hell, even "not-quite" fish people would be awesome like a crabman or something.
Starfishman would be kinda cool.
I'm pissing myself with anticipation.
i want kokoro to join. =(
A mermaid that's eaten a Devil Fruit.
That is wrong on so many levels.
I also want Kokoro to join, damn i'm going to miss her….
Just a question, Lots of people have been blabbering 'bout Mary Sues, and it has gotten me to be a little confused... Could someone please give me an of a Mary sue that exist in Mangas or Animes? I thought Mary sues were an ego of the creator's self.... But isn't Oda a male, so shouldn't it be a Marty Sue?
...
And about a gyojin, I'm still a little skeptic for that choice, you will never know what Oda's up to. I think also 2 females are enough, but someone cute or stupid as Luffy could refresh the crew a little bit.
Zora Link should join as the musician (with his guitar and stuff)
Mary Sues are fan-characters who fall in love with a main character that the author is a fangirl of and the Mary Sue has a spunky personality or something, has magic and some other stupid powers and is usually abandoned or has a stereotypically bad childhood.
In other words, cliche fan-characters. You find them on the 4Kids forums.
6 males
3 females
1 pet
seems fine with me.
As long as he/she will be useful for the crew ship and battle. Definitely, since Luffy's been yearning for one, the next crew member would be musician. A merman/mermaid musician with a kickass battle ability would be fine.
If you want to know if a character qualifies as a Mary Sue, then take them through the test.
As for the topic question at hand, I would like to see a young mermaid join the crew as I think that the problem of land mobility could make for an interesting character.
@Fire Fist:
Dude, Franky is a Cyborg with weapons built into him. I don't think he's there simply to plug a leak.
Of course not. But his primary job is to fix the ship and keep it in good repair, possibly made necessary additions and updgrades. Sure the cyborg with lots of weapons part is awesome, but Luffy wanted a shipwright - not a robot. Same goes with Sanji - Luffy wanted a cook, and the fact that Sanji is one of the Straw Hat top tier fighters was just an added bonus.
But Usopp and Zoro's primary jobs are primarily combat related. Zoro is a swordsman. Usopp is a marksmen. Yes, it's possible those skills could be used for other things but that's what the main purpose of their job is.
Someone who specializes in underwater combat would be very useful, especially since three of the crewmembers can't swim and those who can won't necessarily be very good under water (as was partially the point of Sanji's Arlong Park fight). True, they might also have secondary talents (ex: Usopp is also an artist and inventor), but this wouldn't be a terrible job to have on board.
Well, it'd be nice to have someone of a different race, but no mermaids.
I don't understand…. why not a mermaid?
mermaids probably will be the best musicians anyway..... it's not as if you all are going to have a choice, if Oda really wants to round out the mugiwara with the last crewmember as a mermaid musician...... and since they are going to merman village...... it's not totally impossible for them to get another crewmember....
and my theory about the next crew member being a double spy for the World Government still stands. :)
A mermaid is just impractical. We don't need another old character in the crew. Franky is fine because he's a frat boy at heart, and Robin is becoming more open. But a mermaid needs to be 30+ to be able to walk on land, and 30+ indicates a serious character. Could you really stand someone like Igaram in the crew for the whole voyage?
that's not for use to decide….. Luffy will be the one to decide.... and since he wanted a musician so badly....... are you expecting him to pass up this chance?

Actually, that's for Oda to decide. Since Luffy thinks whatever Oda makes him think.
