**> I might add that on a pirate ship an archeologist is actually a very important part. In every pirate story there´s some guy who´s able to understand treasure maps and the writing on some old ruins where a treasure lies. In fact you see more of such character´s in pirate stories then you see the cook. That´s why Nico Robin is a very important part of the Strawhats and why her position on a pirate ship is justified. Everyone who doesn´t want to accept it should also accept that he doesn´t really understand pirate stories!
as for your point luffy isnt the kind of guy that cares about money and plus if you are a pirate you can steel money from other pirates.**
Reread what I said again and tell me if I ever use the term money there. ;) As a pirate (especially in the OP world) you can be searching for everything not just gold and diamonds. Heck I´m sure Luffy would even put up his own life in danger is someone would tell him that long ago a great pirate hid his magic lock on a dangerous island.
**> In every pirate story there´s some guy who´s able to understand treasure maps
Nami can do that.**
Again you misunderstood what I tried to say. Nami can only read a treasure map as longs as there´s just geometric preferences on them. But if they should ever find a map with an ancient riddle about a long lost civilization then you can bet your life on it that it will be only Nico Robin who can read that.
**> see more of such character´s in pirate stories then you see the cook
i guess one piece is different since the captian likes food more then treasure and well sanji was there from the start and even when robin appeared he was still more alive and needed then her.**
Of course the importance of a Chef is different in the OP world however I was just trying to prove how important an archeologist is on a pirate ship. Especially on a ship that is trying to find the biggest treasure in the world that has been hidden by the guy who could read the same text´s as Robin doesn.
**> her position on a pirate ship is justified
at the end the captian decides that and the strawhats were able to do it with out her in the beggining so im sure they can continue with out here

Don´t know what exactly you want to prove with this statement. Of course it´s the captain who decides but that doesn´t bring us forward in our discussion here. We´re discussing on our personal opinions how much something makes or does not make sense for ourselves. That´s why we are here, to talk about our favorite manga/anime. ;)
