Remember when all of CP9 got to join too because they appeared in a spread
Do you believe Brook's gonna join SHs? State your opinion
-

@Miss:
I do think it's likely that he'll join but really what will happen if he does join? Sorry to say it like Franky but Brooke is just dead bones. He won't be able to just casually walk around the cities with the strawhats without drawing attention. Plus who wants to be friends with people who hang out with bones.
(just kidding on that part)Gomu-Gomu-No-Rubber Suit…
Or Chopper just carrying him around would work...
-
I hope he joins. He fills the roles of musician and nakama quite nicely IMHO. What else is he going to do? Join the Rolling Pirates? Stay on Thriller Bark? Go back to the Florian Triangle? There's other more obvious questions I could make, but I won't. Both Luffy and Brook have a connection to Laboon, so it would make sense for them to meet up with the ol' whale together.
-
my theory is that franky and usopp are gonna make him a suit or some shit
but whatever thats just me being derp
-
That'd actually be hilarious. I was actually thinkin' about the same thing.
Just bandages like ''The Invisible Man'' would suit fine, so long as it's not overly tacky or detracting from his design. (No shitting around with the afro, please.)
If done properly, it could be practical and damn quirky at the same time.
-
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought about the "Franky will make a human suit for Brook" stuff.

Don't see how that would work, tough.
Franky's more into mechanical stuff. I just can't picture him making something like a suit of Broooke.
Perhaps Usopp could make a mask for Brooke and give him some gloves to cover his skelletical hands.
-
(and where the hell did you get 27 from? =S)
oh I thought he said 28 in counting,LOL, regardless, there're 23…

1. everyone is entitled to an opinion, that really doesn't make them a moron if they disagree with you.
I don't care about the people, me included, its the people's logic I care about.
And its moronic.2. dude I didn't ask you a single question, I think that shows who the moron is
"Why are we morons"
3.if we're calling people morons because they disagree with us, then you stating that all the reasons against were dum, makes me think you're a moron
Were calling people morons because of their reasons.
When did I ever say "I hate people who disagree with em" who even says that?4. Oda is unpredictable, you never know what could happen.
Thats not a legit point at all.
I think my first point is the most valid though.
Colorspreads? No. Not even close.
Vivi? No. Not even close. -
Heh, I almost want Brook NOT to join, just to see some of the reactions that would happen. Almost.
But I think he will join, and really, I want him to as well, because I think he's a cool character.
-
People still think brook is not going to join? Wow at this point is about as obvious as it gets…
I mean just think about it Luffy has been wanting a musician since before he even though of a doctor or a cook, He's been apart of two SH Combo attacks, he agreed to join on his ship, he has won the hearts of all the straw hats when they found out his past, He's in debt to Zoro for his shadow, And He's the super secret character in the DS game for gods sake.
And what do you think is going to happen when the crew tells them that they know laboon and they saved his life not once but twice? (once for Vivi and prince attacking him and the other for stopping him from bashing his brains out on reverse side mountain.)
Do people honestly think he's he's just going to abandon them after all this? Or magically run backwards to see laboon? Not only does he owe them his ability to go see laboon by getting his shadow back and saving his life/hair from Ryuma , but saving laboon twice?
He's not going anywhere.
He's joining, thats it. If he doesn't it will probably be the biggest dues ex machina in the history of one piece.
-
Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought about the "Franky will make a human suit for Brook" stuff.
Except that'd ruin Brook's charm. The whole point of his character is that he's a skeleton with an afro.
-

I know ! I know ! It's gonna be one of the best One Piece moments !

Nothing more to say. Waiting for next chapter (hopefully)… bip... bip...

Don't forget the "Yo ho ho".
-
[hide]
[/hide]Replace 'Reindeer' and 'Monster' with 'Skeleton'.
And with that simple reminder alongside the fact that underwater folk and New World folk have probably seen weirder things than a talking skeleton…
Also, I stand by my point that with a high chance of the Straw Hats dying in the New World and not fulfilling their promise with Laboon that it will be the same crap all over again. Why would Brook want that?
-
Except that'd ruin Brook's charm.
Not really. If they put on him something like the bandages of the Invisible Man, that would still look neat.
-
Well, if he joins I don't think that Ussop or Franky gonna make him a suit or smthing. His appearence is just enough and authentic. We don't need a second cyborg nor a mummy, do we?
-
I really think Oda is gonna curveball us. I'm at a place where I honestly feel like he WILL join, and that's the perfect opportunity to pull the rug right out from under my ass.
-
I want Brook to join, but I don't think he will. Oda will probably make him leave like Vivi did =(
Especially with Kuma's teliportation fruit, and the whole Laboon situation… -
Brooke will join. He wants to meet Laboon again and Luffy promised Laboon to return to him as well. Since Brooke probably won't make it back to Rivers Mountain on his own, i think he is going to join the SH crew.
-
How people can compare Brook to Vivi is beyond me.
For one thing, other than Vivi he'd actually be usefull on the SH's journey in various ways. He's a musician, a sailor and a strong fighter. For another thing, he isn't the fu**ing prince of some country waiting to take the throne O_o
Vivi was an entirely different situation. She was strongly tied to her arc and never presented as a fitting crew member. On the contrary Brook's arc was, among other things, about solving the one problem that kept him from setting of with the SHs.

Elric laying it down matter of factually.
This is exactly why "Vivi lol" is a bad arguement. -
http://www.the-magicbox.com/0712/game071215c.shtml
after seeing the screens for this new OP game, I think its more then obvious he joins..
Because this game has the sunny go in it, and it doesnt seem to revolve around TB
-
The whole "skin suit", franky must be able to easily do that, isn't he a cyborg?? The glove of the strong hammer, at least looks real enough,.
But I rather see him going around as chopper "skeleton for doctors" thingie, or just being himself, not a costume or someone else's prop-
It is enterely posible that Kuma send him back thoug, but I want him as a strawhat!!!
-
I love how you didn't notice that it was in "Misc(Neutral)" meaning it isn't a con or pro, just a little note of observation. Really, if you gonna try and joke on people's post, please read them. Other ways it makes you look ignorant.
oh jeeze plz stop breaking my face

@Cyringohn:
oh jeeze plz stop breaking my face
Breaking Yo faaaace! (God, if only I could remember the name of the anime that had that in the opening)
But seriously, Brooke has been put in Strawhat COMBO ATTACKS. Even Vivi hasn't had that honor. That alone should signify him as part of the crew.
Kuma is a red herring. If he returned to Laboon, he'd have to tell him "Not only did we not conquer the Grand Line, we were all slaughtered and died". Brooke can't return to Laboon without conquering the Grand Line (with Luffy) and restoring his honor. I still maintain the final scene of One Piece will be Luffy and Brooke returning to Laboon, and Luffy about to fight him.
-
But seriously, Brooke has been put in Strawhat COMBO ATTACKS. Even Vivi hasn't had that honor.
Vivi had a combo attack with them when they defeated Mr. Fathersday and Mr. Friday. And with Nami, when they defeated Mr. Valentine.
Don't you guys think it's going a little "too smoothly", for Brook? What do you think is going to happen? They just pack up and leave Triller Bark smiling with Brook part of the crew? Was Kuma's power just a "coincidence"?
At max, I predict Brook staying for one more arch (the Fishman one). Then something happening causing them to part ways for a while.
Maybe
-
how i think its going to happen
B: "i'm sorry, i just can't join for [whatever reason inserted here]"
SH: "Well thats too bad, laboon will be disappointed"
B: "You…you know laboon? etc etc etc I GUESS I HAVE TO JOIN"
two page spread setting off to the new world, with maybe some sort of forboding enemy "overshadowed face" in the very last panel from fishman island or the gorousei or something
end scene, credits roll

I never saw vivi as part of the crew , she was just a hitchhiker.
And at the end of Arabasta with all that "vivi join talk" I never had a doubt that she will stay there.As for Brook well he is part of the crew now whether he wants it or not.
The Mugiwaras need a musician and here he is the musician, they never needed a weak little cry-baby princess in their crew, so they didn't get that weak little cry-baby princess.And the only thing that can happen for Brook to part ways with the mugiwara pirates is that they come to meet with laboon, and yes to get to the beginning of the GL and yes at the end of the story. THE END
-
The Mugiwaras need a musician and here he is the musician
Franky already filled the spot of musician
they never needed a weak little cry-baby princess in their crew
Since when was Vivi weak? She saved their lives on numerous occasions (and every strawhat cries alot during their archs)
The only reason Brook needs to join, is because Lafitte needs someone else of similar style to fight him.
-
@Fire Fist:
Kuma is a red herring.
YES YES YES AND HELLA MORE YES!!!!
@Fire Fist:
If he returned to Laboon, he'd have to tell him "Not only did we not conquer the Grand Line, we were all slaughtered and died". Brooke can't return to Laboon without conquering the Grand Line (with Luffy) and restoring his honor.
Once again, thank you, someone FINALLY understands!
@Lobster:

Yeah…..and everything went too smoothly for Zoro, Ussop, Sanji, Nami, Chopper.....etc...This arc is no different from any other damn joining arc.
@Lobster:
Was Kuma's power just a "coincidence"?
FUCK YES
-
@Lobster:

And she had Karoo. I really miss that duck…..
Anyways, Franky is just a musician as a hobby, pretty much how Usopp's carpenter skills were nothing but a joke when compared to "real" shipwrights.
-
> Kuma is a red herring.
YES YES YES AND HELLA MORE YES!!!!

So you guys now think that Kuma is a Fishman? o_O

A Red Herring is someone or something that is used to throw us off the trail. In other words, something that's intentionally misleading.
I called it wrong, so long ago. I guess this needs to be changed.

The Anti-Brook side is scraping the bottom of the barrel here, folks.
Meanwhile, on the Pro-Brook side, still have a vast amount of ammunition, with reinforcements in this thread:http://www.apforums.net/showthread.php?t=15891&page=4
Enjoy! I know you will.
–--Please allow us to talk a bit about up until One Piece debuted in serialization. You might say it's the pilot version, we mean of course Romance Dawn (published in the One Piece fanbook Red and the short works collection WANTED!) how exactly did those particular pieces come to be?
Oda- Writing a manga with a pirate motif was something I'd wanted to write since I was in middle school. But it wasn't something I just wanted to do as a one-shot. The scale of the project would be small and there wouldn't be any way to do everything I'd want with it. So I made it a point that if I was going to do it, I'd make it serialized. But getting into serialization wasn't something I just couldn't worm into. Before serialization all my bit pieces were just evicerated.... So I was really just hanging by a thread and prepped myself thinking, "If this doesn't work out I'll just have to give it all up.", and that's where Romance Dawn came from. It was like pulling out the family's mint-condition Mickey Mantle rookie card collection at a garage sale just for food money. [Lit. Says it's like taking the treasured family heirloom sword at a last stand]
So you could say it was written kind of like only the very beginning of this grand story making it very clear that it's meant to be continued. Kind of like me telling everyone, "Look, I really wanna write this story." (laughs)
And so in the end, it got picked up for serialization and became One Piece.
–--It would seem that you had already established many of the basic ideas [of One Piece] at the time of Romance Dawn.
Yeah, Luffy was there, the Gomu Gomu Fruit…. By the way, it was originally just the Gomu Fruit. Then my editor was like, "But isn't there really a Gomu Fruit?" I changed without a second thought but now looking back, that was a nice-freakin'-idea! (laughs)
–--Yes but, one could say that's because you had the grand scheme in mind from your middle school years.
No, not really, I didn't really have this big arching plot in mind. Actually, as far as the contents of the story go, I hadn't really thought about anything. I just had in mind the basic establishment and that I wanted it to be a huge story, that's about it.
----That was unexpected. As a reader, lately the underlying meaning in the laying out of the Laboon story became quite clear. I thought you had established much of it in minute detail....
[GET YOUR 'HOLY-SHIT BOOTS' ON, THIS MIGHT BE CONSIDERED A SPOILER FOR THOSE IN A CERTAIN BANDWAGON]
Well now that, consequently, was something I kept under wraps for a looong time. (laughs) Of course, at the time I first drew the Laboon story, I knew there was going to be a 'skeleton musician' appearing, I just didn't have a design for it or know when I was going to unveil it. I really felt like bringing him out sooner but the story just kept getting longer and longer before I knew it and I was finally able to reveal him. That's all.
I just think of the rough story as these broken up tales [Note: we come to label them arcs] and as far as what order I tell them in or how long on spend on each, well that's just something I go with whatever works best on. Whenever a sketched out idea for the serial get the axe I have to think of another plan so I just kind go, "Oh! I'll just use that gag here!", there are a lot of arcs I'll write like that.
–--For example?
Well, like the Fishmen. They were supposed to appear in Chapter 3 but that idea got knocked down. But I just kept that idea in my head and continued it and finally used it for the Arlong arc. That was another idea I intended to use much earlier.
Anyway, when I start writing things just get stretched out. Readers might think, "He thought about this THAT long ago!?", but at the same time I'm thinking, "I didn't think it would end up THIS long!!" (big laughs)
So at first I really wanted to bring it to a conclusion much sooner but before I realized it, it's become what it is today. I figured he would gather his crew in about a year and a half, go on great adventure, and wrap up everything in 5 years.
[[B]Here it comes]
–--Speaking of which, how much longer do you think it will be until the conclusion?
That's just too much to think about so that's a question I wish you didn't ask but. Hmmmm, I'd like to think it's gone about half-way. …..Nah, let's just stop thinking about that now.
-
Franky is a musician like Usopp was a carpenter.
Like Nami was a doctor.Also damn lobster, you need to get around more if you don't know what a red herring is.

Actually IMO Kuma being on Thriller Bark at the moment shattered my hopes of Brooke joining with his ability that was shown…the Vivi argument though is funny..but I really don't want Brooke to join JUST for the fact because I just don't like him...that doesn't make me a MORON because of it thank you very much...I am actually hoping he doesn't join just to see the dumb reactions from (Carter,Gohn,Zephos,Most of AP community) and yes I will rub it in all of your faces
..but I can't just say he will join or he won't because Oda is pretty unpredictable... -

Kuma sending Brook to Laboon would be the same thing as Aokiji helping Tonjit to find his people, except that in Kuma's case would be more like stupid than awesome.
