Do you believe Brook's gonna join SHs? State your opinion

Rukawa

I know this thing is probably discussed again, but I wanna see now everyone's opinion since the fight with Moria is over.

I actually believe that Brook won't join SHs, even though I like him a lot.The fact is that SHs need a musician and Luffy wanted one since first Volume, but each of SHs now need to travel ahead with Luffy.Zoro,Sanji,Nami, Franky, Robin and Ussop wanna do things for theirselves and being next to Luffy give 'em better chances of success.But I believe Brook's priority is to meet Laboon and not travel further in the Grand Line with Luffy.So I kinda believe that he's gonna thank Luffy for the invitation, but he won't join.

That's just my opinion.(Excuse my English )

Super-chops

I, for one, really hope Brook does join, Oda's been building up his story since they first entered the grandline, plus it would be a shame to waste such a great character!

Lance

I have a feeling Oda might pull an Alabasta on us. Give us a character we didn't expect (Nico Robin) over a character that was suspected (Vivi).

Sanctum

First of all…

No.
Just no.
Brook's joining for sure. There's really no way around it.

And you might want to put a spoiler warning in the title for those not caught up in the manga.

AlNi

How can they go any further without a musician?

Lobolover

yes,I mean,they would die of silence before theyd reach Fishman Island.

Lord Starfish

Definitely. He's got a reason to go, (Getting back to Laboon, and it seems like travelling backwards on the Grand Line would be pretty much impossible without an eternal pose) and Luffy seems dead-set on having him in his crew. Keep in mind that he only declined earlier because he didn't have his shadow, and he's gotten that back now, so there's really no reason why he wouldn't join.

HEATXZ

Brook is awesome,He should join the crew

Tommy Swoes

I hope so. He seems like a pretty cool dude. And he's a pretty good compliment to Sanji, since he's perverted, too.

Maikeru22

I'm not big on Brooke, but I have no doubts on him joining.

Trekkor

Brook better join, the SH crew needs a musician

Saloma

I wish he wouldn't, but no way in hell would I ever believe Brooke isn't joining.

Aldrich

It doesn't need to be discussed, he's joining for sure.

King Kobra

Yeah.

Marketing > Oda.

Just look at the UC Thread and believe it.

GZilla_fan

I really don't want Brook to join, but he might join. Also we got a diffirent crew in the story. We don't know if they are going back and Brook might travel with them to see Laboon.

Mr. All Sunday

I won't state my opinion.

But I will state a fact: Brooke's gonna join.

zerocustom1989

granted brooke could sail on his own to find Laboon, but the strawhats got him his shadow back and have also pledged to return to laboon.

Brooke = (w)in.

Mr. All Sunday

The only other option I can thing of is Brooke taking Thriller Bark and sailing to Reverse Mountain.

Not likely at all though.

Tsuchirinhon

9 people on this forum are totally dumb.

King Calamari

Two awesome characters joining in such a small span of time really makes up for that long period between the end of Alabasta and the end of Enies Lobby.

I'll also be glad to see all this nonsense about him not joining and going backwards or whatever finally end.

Lobolover

me too.Ive said it before,ill say it again

HOW

WOULD

HE

GO

BACK

?

Hiso

Luffy said that he's going to make Brooke his Musician, even if he has to force him. When he said this, he already knew about Brooke's relationship to Laboon. This means that Luffy already considered that he probably wants to go back first… and he doesn't cared!
In the current situation, Brooke can't escape Luffy.

Herackles

Brookes fate was sealed on the last page of the chapter he first appeared in.

Gojita

Lets take a look at this, did this before

He originally said yes, but later declined because he couldnt get his shadow back.
Luffy stated he would take him with them even if he had to force him.
Brook now has his shadow back.
There is no way he can travel the grandline in revers without an eternal pass, how is supposed to get that.
He had been given a personal Jolly Roger, something only given to people that are Strawhats[yes i know vivi had one two] still.
I dont think he can fight back when they try to drag him abort.

Silver R. Bolt

Pros:

Already said Yes, but had to declined due to his Shadow being stolen.
Already considers the StrawHats as friends(or Nakama for Jap Elitist).
Luffy has decided that Brook is going to join, similar to how he decided for Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Chopper, and Franky before they joined.
Already has Combo Attacks with other StrawHats.
StrawHats plan to visit Laboon after they obtain One Piece.
Brook fills the most wanted position Luffy wanted.
Follows the 2 Crew Members joining right after each other pattern. (Zoro/Nami, Usopp/Sanji, Chopper/Robin, and now Franky/Brook?)

Cons:

He might prefer going directly back to Laboon. (No real way how.)
Oda likes to make Twist.
Possible Alabasta Type Situation. Another Vivi/Ace?

Misc(Neutral):

Another Swordsmen, Another Pervert
Doesn't go along with the 2 sylabils pattern for names.
Has been feature in games, such as Unlimted Cruise, and Gear Spirit. Though these could be Guesses done by Toei, or it could be that Oda has confirmed him to them.
Another Odd Ball type character from the Grand Line. Since they joined the Grandline all the new crewmembers have been either Weird looking(Chopper, Franky) or a Devil Fruit User (Robin). Brooke would be both.
Another Pattern is that 4 Members join when ever they go into an area. East Blue, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji joined. In the First Half of the Grand Line, Chopper, Robin, Franky and possible Brook?
Brook would have many Running Gags with his appearance. Most of the StrawHats have these, biggest example would be Luffy's Mystery Lines, Chopper's Happy Dances, Usopp's Can't-Go-On-That-Island-Disease, or Zoro getting lost.

Mr. All Sunday

There you go.

Brooke's not joining because his name has on syllable, that's undeniable proof.

Oh jeeze, my face broke reading this.

LongRob Silver

Brook, I will not come in crew of the StrawHats Pirates…..a fishman musician? Would it not be better?

I hope it will come soon in the country of fishmen!

FireFistAce 0

… Are you talking in Second Person?

LongRob Silver

i don't speak english very well, sorry! :P
i'm italian xD

Mr. All Sunday

I don't understand how you got second person out of that "Fire Fist."

Assuming Brooke does join, he should be in a colorspread fairly soon, that should be pretty interesting.

Silver R. Bolt

@Mr.:

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.

Actually, Franky's real name is Flam, which is one syllable. So it negates that rule anyway.

Lobolover

I always prefer "Flam" over the german heavy Fchrraam.

King Kobra

It's decided.

Hog-Back will join the SH!

Imagine him hanging around with them in the color spreads. Hogback running; Hogback belly dancing with Crocodiles; Hogback helping Chopper to become a better doctor…

Yeah, Hogback has so much potential, plus his animal theme could be the Hedgehog...

Chopper already hates Hogback, I don't think he'd accept even if he offered.

I would say being a pervert and an oddball while having Running Gags are positive things.

TheMaleWithAShell

Would'nt it be a twist if Odz somehow came back alive and joined the crew? Where would he fit on the boat?

King Kobra

@TheMaleWithAShell:

No offense, but that would be way too retarded even for One Piece, but still amuzing in it's own way.

Oh, well, as long as Oddz did something like crushing Vivi, I wouldn't mind if he defied logic and came back to life to join them.

Lobolover

I see how it might,from your sig at least.

I was prety sorry about having Oz to die in the begining,but when the fight dragged out and he was shown to be an idiot without any great personality or fleshing out of character,I was glad he got busted.

Stil,I LIKE Vivi,in comparison to many here.

You can still like her, as long as you don't have any problems with my hate for her or show that you like her in some obnioux way like huge Pink signatures of Vivi that burn my eyes. :)

And yes, I felt bad for Oddz. He was so nice before Moria got all crazy to kill off the strawhats.

Lobolover

BTW-please call him "OZ".Hes not Odz,Oddz or Odr.

King Kobra

@Lobolover:

BTW-please call him "OZ".Hes not Odz,Oddz or Odr.

I call him ODDZ because he's Odd. I just got tired of the damn arguing.

PS: I think the right one is ODR. After all, TB is pretty much based off ASGARD.

Qualms

Sorry, but at this point, you'd be crazy to think Brook isn't joining. I don't even need to elaborate, 80% of the poll voters know what I mean already.

Edit:

Okay, after reading over, some people are saying "He might want to go directly to Laboon"– asides not having an eternal pose and other problems, think about this: Luffy has already calmed down Laboon with his promise. What if the Straw Hats die and don't fulfill their promise? Why would Brook want a repeat of what happened before with the risk of them dying in the New World?

I say he's coming with them to ensure their safety. Brook has more to worry about now than knowing Laboon is either dead or in the process of killing himself.

Miss White day

For me things could still go both ways. I like Brooke and all but I'm kind of tired of watching everyone arguing or fighting over if he's in or not. But meh, I had the same feeling back when there was this big Franky vs Paulie "war".

But yea, if I go with my inner gut feeling. I'd say that he has mighty good chances of joining. I just don't want this to be another Vivi case though, I was so sure…

Kitsune9-TailedBeast

Brook's crew agreed to return to Laboon, AFTER sailing the grandline….he still needs to fulfill that part......in the Strawhat's crew.

cp9luchi

Brook is awsome, I always lol at his skeleton jokes, and he could train with Zoro, be perverted with Sanji, and splay music for Luffy, If you think about it he fits in pretty good

murray24

brook is going to join the crew for one reason:
he's the one who will fight the guy in BB crew (i don't remember is name but it's the "alive" version of brook).

like this luffy can fight BB, usopp/van auger, chopper/the doctor, franky/burgess and zorro during this time can have his rematch against mihawk but this is another story…
