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

skarlath

Final Battle matchup

Nami vs. Jinbei
Sanji vs. Jesus Burgess
Robin Vs. Kuma
Franky Vs. Last Shickibuki (One of his Parents)

Seriously?

There are two Main problems with this.

You think all Shickibukis are gonna be taken out my the SH?
The remaining Schickbukis and all members of BB's crew are gonna be final battles? Isn't there like… half the story left?

"Nami vs. Jinbei"

I will once again state an opinion I have held for sometime.
Nami WILL not be taking down ANYONE of world renown.

"Sanji vs Jesus"

Franky seems like a MUCH better match-up...
Plus Jesus seems so weak. You have Sanji (SH #3) taking out a lowly sub. but have Nami and Franky take on Schibukais... seriously?

"Robin Vs. Kuma"

Your reasoning here is... process of elimination?

I Don't understand what you're trying to get at here.

I'm remaining firm in my belief that the last Shickibukai is one of Franky's Parents, making it a perfect match for him.
and for all you know, Jinbei and Franky's parent could be the weakest of the Shikibukai. (Honestly, too damn many people are going around…."OMG!!! JINBEI IS TEH STRONGEST MANS EVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")

@skarlath:

"Robin Vs. Kuma"

Your reasoning here is… process of elimination?

Partially, also, I don't think Kuma is OMG POWERHOUSE/BEAR LOGIA!!!!! I think he's a smart-fighter which matches perfectly to Robin.

King Kobra

FBM according to Me:
The Yellow Monkey VS Dragon.
Robin vs Akainu > Aokiji VS Akainu.
Luffy VS Garp. > Garp vs Blackbeard.
Mohji & Richie VS Jesus Burguess. > Franky VS JesusBurguess
Chopper VS Dr.Q & Stronger.
Laffite VS Brooke & Kabaji.
Alvida VS Kuma.

THE FINAL BATTLE FOR "ONE PIECE":

Shanks & Buggy VS Gol D.Roger.

PS: Usopp died as a brave sea warrior; Zoro & Mihawk tied = death; Nami sacrificed herself for the crew to reach Raftel safely and Sanji was killed off chapters ago by a ruthless female pirate before they even found out that GR was a big liar and that OP was the power to control the ultimate weapons, or at least that's how I would end OP.

back on topic: I think some people are confusing, do you think brook'll join with, do you want brook to join. I really want brook to join, but I'm still not sure either way.

I just realized how brilliant Vivi not joining was. Just as everyone thought they figured out the pattern of recruitment, Oda throws a curve ball leaving everyone unsure. Oda was like, "So you think you've figured me out? Take this bitch!"

After all the things She whined for. I would have been amazed that Vivi decided to leave the kingdom of Arabasta.

There's no reason at all to bother to understand theory. The only point is…

Alvida > Kuma.

Mugiwara No Hermy

Brook's definitely joining. It would be weird if he didn't. He's already a pirate, which of course Vivi wasn't. Which is why she didn't join, and the criminal Robin joined instead. Even though that was a twist, it was still very predictable.

Also, predicting the final battles for One Piece is pretty hard. I have no doubts, though, that the Shichibukai will be taken down by the SH crew, and not just Luffy. Zoro, Sanji and Chopper being the most powerful in the crew.

Brook

You guys could just ask me?

igetownd

This post is deleted!

igetownd

Brook already joined. He just said he couldn't stay on without his shadow.

Coyote

Is this questionable? Course he's going to join. If only it will satisfy my cane weapon,for lack of a better word, fetish.
He's already worked with the straw hat's like he was part of the crew already.
We still got character background on him to develop. Kingdom's Assault Squad or something like that.
And if he hang's out with crew, he'll end up with Laboon anyway so I don't see why not?

Oh, and WB Brooke.

Solarn

Meh. I dunno. It's possible that he will join, but I'm not entirely convinced. Brook lost his big fight on Thriller Bark and now that there's another pirate crew around that he might join, I'm not so certain that he'll be joining the Strawhats. But then again, there's Luffy. He said that he wanted Brook to be their musician and so far he's always gotten what he wanted in the end.

Gorlom

why would he join the other crew?

and how does loseing "his fight" at TB affect anything?

ctarlong910

because luffy doesn't just let any old noob in. They need to be able to fight for themselves (which brooke couldn't do.)

OT: has it even been a day since franky joined? they'd get 2 new nakama in one day.

didnt he tried to get that tree guy in a treasure box to join the crew?

King Kobra

He also tried to get Crocus to join the crew. XD

Silver R. Bolt

I still say Gaimon should've joined. Even if he isn't needed, he'd still would've been a fun humor character.

I don't think Nami won any fights before joining the crew… at all. The fact that the sun is coming up, means they are on day 2.

Ashura_KingFisher

there should be the third option : "Dunno, I'm not sure". Oda always has surprise…

technically lots of the strawhats lost in their joining arcs.

-Luffy lost against that highway bandit and got taken hostage.
-Zoro was tied to a pole when Luffy rescued him.
-Usopp got crap beaten out of him by a nonamed pirate and was baisicly useless after that. (he shot Jango in the face oh whooptidoo. his crew were more usefull then that)
-Sanji lost to Gin, even if it was forced by holding Zeff hostage.
-Nami, Don't remeber if she fought anyone in the arlong ark but i do belive she was crying her eyes out alot at that time.
-Robin got her ass handed to her by crocodile. and got captured dureing water 7, and abused by Spandam dureing EL
-Franky Got captured by CP9 dureing his arc

dont remember who fought who in drum island…

the whole deal with Luffy and his crew is that they need each other, and can't do everything all by themselves. I belive Luffy stated that atleast a few times against one of his oponents… think it was Crocodile.

Basically, Chopper won his fight, Luffy won his. (Though you could say Luffy, Sanji, and Nami lost to weather/cold/illness. And Sanji lost to Kureha)

King Kobra

But Brooke's already in a Videogame as part of the crew….

I doubt Oda would let something like that pass.

@ctarlong910:

Nami didn't do anything combat wise prior to her fight with Doublefinger. And yet she got in. Ussop barely did anything against the Black Cat Pirates yet he got in. Sanji didn't beat Gin. Robin lost to Crocodile and was practically defenseless during most of Ennis Lobby.

Your logic is horrid.

Traveller

I still have a gut feeling he won't join. Maybe he travels with the Rolling Pirates back to see Laboon right away.

AD-HD Pirate

I'll certainly hope that Brook join. He is already one of my favorite characters.
And one more weirdo with strawhats wouldn't be so big deal.

really, Nami's idea to tie up buggy was nothing? Zoro surviving for a week tied to a poll in the hot sun was nothing? Ussop pushing through his physical pain to save kaia was nothing? Sanji beating Purl was nothing? Robin surviving when everybody wished she was dead , then sneaking onto the strawhats ship was nothing? Franky taking down a 2 Cp9 agents and surviving being nailed by a train was nothing? Dude your life blows if all that stuff is nothing to you.

Besides I never said he couldn't join because of that, i just said it's something against him.

Gorlom

ctarlong. you mentioned a failure but now you are compareing that to achivements?

Brook singelhandedly wiped out the most zombies on the island (may not really seem like much but consider that the strawhats were allways in teams and that the ratspiders are a considerable threat to a lone person). He freed Franky and Robin from talaran. he survived alone for 50 years in the fog. Even though he was broken after faceing Ryuuma he keept fighting beyond his limits for the sake of others etc etc.

ctarlong910

I was only defending a guy who said it was something against him! loosing doesn't make you look like a better person to join the crew.

Miss White day

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)

Kitsune9-TailedBeast

@Traveller:

I've said it before and I'll probably have to say it again….Brooks crew promised to return to Laboon AFTER conquering the Grand Line....He needs to fulfill the other part of that promise on Luffy's crew. :D

Gorlom

@ctarlong910:

obviously it doesn't make you look worse either as all of them had some form of major setback in the arc they joined.

Shigan

Yeah I do but I don't particularly mind if he for some reason doesn't. Somehow he hasn't been as interesting lately as when he was first introduced.

I in no way dislike the "dreaming and promises" aspect of OP but I just didn't find the thing with Laboon that great.

He hasn't been on any Color Spreads yet.
Even Franky was on one B4 he joined, and Robin and Ussop were there even when they left/tried to leave.

Don't misjudge me though, I DO think Brook will join and If he doesn't I'll turn emo :D

wow, what a tolerant guy you are, I see no reason why they should need to tell you. Read the thread and find out.

I did read the trhead.
And I didn't see any good points whatoever.
I remember you bringing up two useless points.
Vivi and him not winning a fight (he beat Taleran anyway so…).
Niether of those mean anything.

Aldrich

@ctarlong910:

It's not a matter of being tolerant or not, stupid things are stupid.

It's obvious Oda foreshadowed Brook's joining. Luffy wants to drag him onboard. He bonded with Franky. He saved Franky, Robin and Usopp's asses, and is accepted by the crew. There's the Laboon backstory. He's a goddamn MUSICIAN.

But yeah let's ignore all that. He's totally going to be the new Vivi! Except it was also obvious since the beginning Vivi wouldn't become a Strawhat. So yeah sorry, you'd have to be pretty stupid to actually think Brook won't join.

It;s not, yet…..It's still a strike against him XP

An appearance in the spread doesn't mean anything.

Aren't you guys happier if there was a match-up-like esque spread with Brook in it?

1. everyone is entitled to an opinion, that really doesn't make them a moron if they disagree with you.

2. dude I didn't ask you a single question, I think that shows who the moron is
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
4. Oda is unpredictable, you never know what could happen.

I think my first point is the most valid though.

Kuroneko

1. everyone is entitled to an opinion, that really doesn't make them a moron if they disagree with you.

Except when the opinion is made upon an inconsistent logic.

Really guys, some of the reasons that you used to defend that "Brook won't join" don't make sense. And even if Oda didn't make him join the SH, that would not fit with everything that happened in the arc. Brook even stated that will help the SH since they rescued his shadow from Moria.

Not only is Brooke going to join, but I'll bet he's going to have a spectacular batlle in the next arc, similar to Sanji, Chopper, or Franky's first fights. Hell, even Robin vs. Yama had it's own charm.
