If Brook joins I really don't want to see a merman/gyojin since it would be three "freaks" in a row, kinda repetitive and we know Oda isn't that type of person. If Brook joins, I want to see a human as the last.
The next new Nakama?

They're not afraid too, they're just smart not to.

Well since Luffy's out to get ten to join him, even if Brook joins there is still two more. We could see both a fishman and human join as the last two members.
I think Oda may be planning more crew. As I said before, they just got a ship upgrade. It wouldn't supprise me if the crew end up toward 15 members or so. We need a few more generic members, that is crew members who are just "there" as extras. I'm not saying I like the idea, but after the main crew we need some crew that are just filling up places. Most crews have officers, specialists and generics. We'd had the first part and the second, but non of the last.
-
i must admit that i've got doubt about a fishman or mermaid in the crew. I think nami will not like this idea or this fishman (or mermaid) will have to save her or kill arlong for her.
-
We'll leave fate up to that, and besides the Fishman or mermaid has a aquarium tank to swim in with the fishes Luffy and the others catch.

Generic members really is not what One Piece is about. Each protagonist has a strong elaborated character. Adding a random somebody there would definitely not match with the family theme this crew has going on with them. Everyone is important.

Yeah, and before she met Luffy and company she hated pirates too because of the same reason you just discribed. Nami seems to have understood that there´s different kind of pirates. I don´t see why she can´t learn the same thing about fishmen. This really isn´t any argument against a fishman joining at all.

They can still interact with the main crew though… And fight from time to time. Being generic "just there" won't break the family thing if handled right.

Oh but it will. In One Piece all the crewmates of Luffy´s are protagonists of the stories. That´s what for over 400 chapters is the concept of the story. Adding people to the crew who are have are non-protagonist-material will break the concept of what One Piece was for 10 years now.
Besides, generic members only make sense if they come in a huge lot. If you look at the Star Trek series for instance where a (space) ship has the protagonists and hundreds of generic characters there it makes sense because the main cast being little in number compared to the rest of the crew but still being protagonists only supports their status of importance. But if you say 15 in total and so far 8 are already protagonists then you already have the majority be the big stuff. Why would 8 big guys need (at max.) 7 minors? Minor characters only make sense if they come in a huge mass.
Just think of the Enies Lobby attack. 7 Strawhats and Franky ran wild there. And the Franky Family also caused some disturbances there, with Galley-La, Sodom and Gomorrah and the giants. Now imagine, that instead of this huge lot we would have seen just Zambai and 6 others of the generic FF members run wild at Enies Lobby. They wouldn´t have done anything. If they are neither super strong nor a huge mass generic characters don´t bring anything. It´s not One Piece to have such guys as Luffy´s crewmates.
-
If the next crew member used Wiggin to fight, I'd be okay with that.

"Generic" is a bad word to use to get the point over it seems… ^-^'
This try another that doesn't make the idea seem so small to you.
Perhaps "reglaurs" is better for you. Honestly, what I'm trying to say is that Luffy may hire some people that interact with the crew, have the same adventures but are there just as fighters. Simulair build and so forth in their past, but their there as reglaur members or "extras". Besides, most of the main jobs are more or less filled so, some crew who aren't imidately aren't in any positions wouldn't hurt.
Lets say Luffy gets a knife thrower with a tragic past and a dream, but he has no job to fill other then being a knife thrower. He may fill in no positions so becomes a "reglaur" member. Still interacts with the rest of the crew.
Sigh Finding the right word is enough trouble it seems. :sad:
-
Ah now I get what you mean. They would be minors only by the actual positions but actually just as important as characters as all the others. If I understood that correctly then I don´t see why Oda couldn´t throw more characters at us as long then ten, as long as they are all equally strong characterized.
What I meant is that it wouldn´t work to have some lesser portrayed characters on the crew because it really isn´t One Piece to move that way and it would really break the concept that was built up during 10 years.

Phew, glad I got you to understand it at least.
That really was my own dam fault, I used the wrong words…

I'm all for Brooke as the next nakama… he makes me laugh and has a good new crewman personality. He also seems like he would keep me entertained during a battle. I'm also in support of having a fishman joining the crew. Considering they are going to the fishman place... It would probably be a good area for some major character developement. I would be very delighted if we got both Brooke and a fishma to become new nakamas. And though I don't know what the fishman would be... maybe a diver or something, but it doesn't really matter Robin and Zolo don't really do much. Zolo fights and Robin is the "researcher" though I don't think researcher is a typical pirate job.
As for the crew limit exceeding 10... I guess it's a possibility, but I personally don't think it's a good idea (no offense). First off Luffy said he'd get a crew of 10. I don't think he's going to go against that. I mean he's pretty stubborn about things like that. Plus 10+ main characters can get pretty confusing. Plus the enemy would have to be able to handle 10+ guys at one time, there would have to be quite a few fights at a time, or many 2+ v 1 fights at a time... I guess you could have crewmembers that don't really fight, but everyone on Luffy's ship has fought so far. -
Brook is also very open about how he feels, such as blurting: "Meeting you people makes me so happy and alive!"
None of the Strawhats really go out of their way to say how they feel, so it'd be nice to have somebody who wears their emotions on their sleeve.
-
I think the next member will be a fishman/fishwoman and they will fill the position of helmsperson, and it will be out of necessity much like Franky was, It will turn out that the second half of the grandline will be more dangerous weather than the first half and then will need someone who is an expert at guiding ships.
-
Why does eveyone want a helmsman? Is it everyones irrational need for a job on the ship?
There's no need for a helmsman.
-
The T-sunny is a one of a kind ship that operates like no ship before. I doubt a random helmsman, even the best one in the world, would know how to stear it.
-
The SH's alreay know how to move along the Grand Line. They did just fine on the Going Merry. They should do twice as good on the T-sunny.
I'd say the next crew memeber (after brook) is just a deck hand.

Because this is one of the most important jobs on a ship and so far all the Strawhats suck at this field, which is why Merry suffered so much damages in the first place. Luffy himself said that he and the others where to stupid to treat her properly. Remember Reverse Mountain where Luffy had to use his DF ability to not make Merry crash against the mountain because Sanji screwed up at the helm?
Nami´s navigation skills mean nothing if there´s nobody to handle the ship as it is necessary. Compare it to other vehicles for example if you want. A car for instance - when you watch a Rally. We have both a driver and a navigator. No matter how good the navigotor may be if the driver sucks you´r not going to win a race. In a plane - you also got both just that the driver is called pilot here and the same problem that if the pilot sucks everyone is doomed.
Or you you want a fictional vehicle then take a space ship. You have everything on board from captain to a doctor, from a cook to a engineer (shipwright) but who the hell is going to fly that thing? It might be easy to maneuver that thing through empty space but in an meteor field you´d better have a skilled pilot.
And now to get back at One Piece, the Strawhats are sailing the Grand Line which isn´t that easy a place to maneuver through (especially not if they are going to find place where nobody in the last 22 years has been). Comparing the need of a helmsman in the real world to the need for a good driver or a pilot may not work that well. But a helmsman in the OP world is definitely as much needed as a good driver in a race respectively a good pilot on a plane. A great navigator and a great ship don´t mean nothing if there´s nobody who can handle both.
-
-
- The SH's alreay know how to move along the Grand Line. They did just fine on the Going Merry. They should do twice as good on the T-sunny.
And yet if you read Merry's farewell, you'll see that they are mentioning about being terrible at steering her… I'm sure they've had plenty of practice by now, but they have a bigger ship, but so far its only been on the open seas reall. On the open seas it won't notice so much if the crew can steer it, its when they get closer to land and problems their handling capablities will be revealed.
-
There are several instances where the Strawhats have done a horrible job at steering Goign Merry. Franky is probably able to steer a ship adequately, but only to the point of Usopp's carpenter skills.
The crew needs a person who can actually 'turn 32º west' when Nami asks of such.
-
brook oblivioulsly.
but….i just want i girl.....somone...that will like sanji!!!! grrr. That boy needs a girl ok! regardless if you guys don't like it
-
^Bleh. One Piece doesn't need that kind of romance.
I love Brooke. I really hope he joins the crew. I don't even see a reason for him not to, as all his nakama are dead, it's not like Vivi where she had to refuse because of other responsibilites. He's looooonely~ :V
-
(I think I've said this before but I forget if it was here or not.. Also if someone else has already pointed these things out I apologize..)
Realistically, the Sunny isn't a ship that can be handled by just eight people. Yes, I know this is One Piece and that realism isn't exactly on good terms with the series, however Sunny is at least twice the size of Merry; a ship that they ALREADY had problems navigating and taking care of. (Though not for lack of trying of course.)
Yet something tells me that Franky, either while designing the ship or afterward, made sure to prevent the Strawhats from having to do three jobs at once in order to keep the ship maintained.. Maybe he built some robots or something to help around with the basic chores and such? In my mind that's one of the only possible ways Oda could take care of all the odd-jobs that would be required to be taken care of on such a ship without having to exceed 10 or so 'official' crewmembers.Edit: I hope Brooke joins, however if he doesn't then that's alright I guess.. =/

Luffy himself said that he and the others where to stupid to treat her properly. Remember Reverse Mountain where Luffy had to use his DF ability to not make Merry crash against the mountain because Sanji screwed up at the helm?
The thing is , they're not bad at the job. Minus the one time Sanji took that one wrong turn the only damage the Going merry has taken where not because of poor stearing but because of circemstance. Things that even a trained helmsman cannot avoid.
Nami´s navigation skills mean nothing if there´s nobody to handle the ship as it is necessary.
But they already traveld almost half of the grand line just fine.
Compare it to other vehicles for example if you want. A car for instance - when you watch a Rally. We have both a driver and a navigator. No matter how good the navigotor may be if the driver sucks you´r not going to win a race.

A driver is only good if he knows what he's driving. Right now the SH are on the Thousand Sunny, a technilogical ship like no other. Even if the SH's found the worlds best Helmsman it would be like putting the worlds best car driver in a super powered rocket car. Sure it similar, but not so much that the skill would matter any how.
If anything you would want the inventor of the rocket car to drive the thing. We already have franky and Im sure as hell know he can control his own ship. He;s beter then any old fool who can turn a wooden wheel left or right any day.

I beg to differ. A skilled helmsman would have made a difference there. Think of it that the Strawhats have on each field one extraordinary skilled person on board and for the helmsman it wouldn´t be different. He would have known how to make the helm follow his command without breaking it. Again compare that to driving. If you put the worlds strongest man on a drivers seat and he uses all his strenght to make the steering wheel follow his command he would break it eventually. A skilled driver however would now when to use force and when not. That´s why a fishman would be the ideal helmsman. His element is the water so he would now when to better give in to the waves and currents and when not to do so. This is something Nami can´t do, she can only predict and read the weather but that doesn´t make her understand the essence of water.
But they already traveld almost half of the grand line just fine.
The same could be said about Sunny. How will that ship be a dream ship that sailed over the entire world if half of the route was done by another ship. Have faith in Oda that a) Sunny will sail quite a large route that it can be said that she sailed around the world and b) the further they progress on the Grand Line the more dangerous it gets. They have yet again to cross the Red Line and we remember that last time it would have gone very bad without Luffy´s DF abilities.
Furthermore except for the Red Line crossing there probably is pretty tough routes to sail at the New World. If that would be easy seas more people would hang around there not too mention that probably Whitebeard would have gotten One Piece already.
A driver is only good if he knows what he's driving. Right now the SH are on the Thousand Sunny, a technilogical ship like no other. Even if the SH's found the worlds best Helmsman it would be like putting the worlds best car driver in a super powered rocket car. Sure it similar, but not so much that the skill would matter any how.
Again I beg to differ. Just look at the Formula 1. You seriously can´t put any random idiot behind the steering wheel of these super advanced super fast machines. Not even randomly good drivers would often qualify to drive that thing properly. Those cars need very extraordinarily good drivers that can handle such a monster. For everybody else it might be suicide. Same goes for Sunny. Power is nothing without control.
If anything you would want the inventor of the rocket car to drive the thing. We already have franky and Im sure as hell know he can control his own ship. He;s beter then any old fool who can turn a wooden wheel left or right any day.
That´s like saying that the engeneers of cars are the best drivers you can get. That´s nonesense. Again look at any kind of racing type where you have lots of engineers (in the Formula 1 you even have several hundreds for one team) but just one driver for each car. Sure some of the drivers may have a little knowledge of the technology of a car but that´s not the same like being the engineer that invented the motor. And vice versa it is the same.
Knowing what to do and being able to do it are two different things. Franky knowing the ship and Nami knowing the weahter does not a good helmsman make. Just compare it to sports where the coaches often know much. They can predict moves from the opponents, they can make good plans for scoring but they themselves don´t do shit on the field, its the players that have to follow the coaches orders. And if they suck the team loses. If they are great, then they are the perfect counterpart for the coach.
And right now Sunny, no all of the Strawhats need someone to fill that road. In all kind of stories where traveling was of any importance there always sooner or later appeared one person who took over the role of a driver/pilot and makes it his most important task to deliver the rest to their goal.
For all that we have already among the crew a helmsman is the best guess to join after Brook. There´s just two positions left then and with all the positions that are taking there´s no more important role left.
If you want to ask why Oda lets such a person join so late, the same could be asked about why the shipwright didn´t join before the archeologist, why the doctor didn´t join before the sharpshooter etc. Its the way how Oda wants to confront people to whats missing so far. If Franky would have joined before Skypiea even then we might still have Merry around us and the whole ship switching thing wouldn´t have been the same. If Chopper would have joined before entering the Grand Line then the impact of "you guys entered the Grand Line without even having a doctor on board" wouldn´t have been the same. It all makes sense by a long thought. And right now, where they have the top ship, top shipwright and top navigator is the only moment where the full potential of "that still isn´t enough for what lies up ahead" can be executed. Now there´s no more excuses left. The timing always makes sense in One Piece.

I agree that a helmsman at that point would of saved luffy the trouble of having to save the ship.
My point was that (I belive) theres no other time where the GM was damaged due to poor steering. They seem to do fine just by themselves, and this is my point.
You act like not having some one behind the wheel who is a pro is a total no go. But they've been doing it for a long time.
The fact that Nami (the navigator) was such a necessary member to go sailing yet Oda never made a skilled Helmsman as important show's he doesn't think they need one to operate or at least it's not as important as you make it out to be.
The same could be said about Sunny. How will that ship be a dream ship that sailed over the entire world if half of the route was done by another ship. Have faith in Oda that a) Sunny will sail quite a large route that it can be said that she sailed around the world and b) the further they progress on the Grand Line the more dangerous it gets. They have yet again to cross the Red Line and we remember that last time it would have gone very bad without Luffy´s DF abilities.
The same cannot be said about the T-sunny , considering it hasn't sailed half the grand line, or much at all really. But any who.
Its true that Sunny has a long way to go. But wether or not the damages it find will be able to be eased with a skilled helmsman is unpredictable. Nearly all of the threats Merry faced where not eased with good boat steering.
Again I beg to differ. Just look at the Formula 1. You seriously can´t put any random idiot behind the steering wheel of these super advanced super fast machines. Not even randomly good drivers would often qualify to drive that thing properly. Those cars need very extraordinarily good drivers that can handle such a monster. For everybody else it might be suicide. Same goes for Sunny. Power is nothing without control.
Which is what I said.
And this is exactly why I don't belive a helmsman is in the future.
The Sunny is a one of a kind ship, its like the Formula 1 racer. So far all the other Helmsman's have been driving basic wind sail ships , or the basic car. Even IF the Helmsman (car driver) was great its no guarantee that the helmsman can even handle the Sunny (the formula 1).
It's exactly like you said
Power is nothing without control.
That´s like saying that the engeneers of cars are the best drivers you can get. That´s nonesense.
No , its like saying the Inventor of the Unicycle would be a better rider then a skilled bicycle. Which would be pretty true.
Sure a skilled bicyclist may be able to learn how to ride a unicycle in due time but for a good time he would be below the skill of the creator.
If you want to ask why Oda lets such a person join so late, the same could be asked about why the shipwright didn´t join before the archeologist, why the doctor didn´t join before the sharpshooter etc. Its the way how Oda wants to confront people to whats missing so far.

Now there´s no more excuses left.
The reason why Oda didn't have the member join from rank of importance going first was because
A) It would be corny
B) It wouldn't be realistic.
As for the "you guys entered the Grand Line without even having a doctor on board". It could be simply said "you guys entered the grand line with only 5 people?"
But the fact that he would have to join so late shows me that the helmsman importance is not as great as you make it out to be.
Which is why, all in all, I belive they do not need a helmsman.

The same could be said about the shipwright. They seemed to do fine by themselves…until the point where that wasn´t enough. And I repeat with what lies ahead at the Grand Line there surely will be more difficult seas to sail. So far they are still sailing places where many people sail through, when they get to places where there´s few people then that might change.
You act like not having some one behind the wheel who is a pro is a total no go. But they've been doing it for a long time.
Again, the same could be said about Franky. They sailed without a shipwright for a long time but in the end they needed one and they got one. I don´t see why the exact same concept can´t apply for a helmsman.
The fact that Nami (the navigator) was such a necessary member to go sailing yet Oda never made a skilled Helmsman as important show's he doesn't think they need one to operate or at least it's not as important as you make it out to be.
That doesn´t have to be true. The point why Nami joined so early is because Luffy and Zoro would totally be lost on the sea without somebody to tell the direction. And a helmsman puts more focus at his maneuvering abilities and that does not equal having a good sense of direction. Just compare it to the real life were lots of people know how to drive but have a bad sense of direction.
Which is what I said.
And this is exactly why I don't belive a helmsman is in the future.
The Sunny is a one of a kind ship, its like the Formula 1 racer. So far all the other Helmsman's have been driving basic wind sail ships , or the basic car. Even IF the Helmsman (car driver) was great its no guarantee that the helmsman can even handle the Sunny (the formula 1).
So now you´re saying that even if the helmsman is great there´s no guarantee that he´s good enough to handle Sunny. Aha, but all those guys on board the ship who suck on this field should have it easier. Sorry, but I don´t see how that logic works. Personally, if the ship is too much to handle I´d rather entrust my life to that guy who´s a good helmsman but still having difficulties then to those guys who can´t do that at all.
Besides, I think that with all those years of One Piece we should have learned that Luffy always gets people that are extremely skillful on their fields. A helmsman wouldn´t be a difference there so I doubt he would have problems to handle the ship.
No , its like saying the Inventor of the Unicycle would be a better rider then a skilled bicycle. Which would be pretty true.
Sure a skilled bicyclist may be able to learn how to ride a unicycle in due time but for a good time he would be below the skill of the creator.
I can only repeat what I said before, an inventor of something will in due time be easily be surpassed by skillful handling for what ever he comes up with. Its the case for cars, planes (jets), trains, ships and whatsoever. And the same counts for the unicycle example. An extraordinary person will surely have no difficulties to handle it better then the creator. Remember that we are not talking about random people but people who are on top of their fields and a top driver will always be a better driver then a top creator. It has something to do with being gifted on one field an just as I said before every Strawhat is gifted on their fields. The helmsman would make no difference there.
But the fact that he would have to join so late shows me that the helmsman importance is not as great as you make it out to be.
Which is why, all in all, I belive they do not need a helmsman.
I said it twice already in this post but I can repeat it one more time. The same can be said about Franky. The shipwright (which in fact is an important position on a ship) joined after more then 400 chapters have passed. Does that make his position lesser important? No it doesn´t. They can´t join all at once so someone will always come later then the rest. That doesn´t however make his importance on a ship obsolete.

Wow, I read all 12 pages. I was reaaaally bored
Anyway, yea, it seems that the majority of people agree it should be a merman/woman or fishman/woman.
Something I thought would be nice, though, would be a young (about the age of 12) fishwoman. That way chopper has a friend about his age/height and he woouldnt look so out of place.
Her young age/height would also limit her strength, so she wouldnt be too unbalanced.
She can swim and help fish, (and itd be nice if she was given a mature character who is fairly smart) and being a fishwoman, she might have a certain ability like spitting ink or something. There would also be a bit of comedy to go with her, as she would be the size of chopper, but naturally strong and able to lift the whole crew (probly strength almost matched to zoro)But, id also like to see, somewhere down the line, a giant(or someone with giantism/half giant) onboard. The TS is fairly big, and as long as the person isnt TOO big, he wouldnt have a problem living onboard. Now, sizewise, he should be about the size of White Beard (hence why i said the person could just have giantism).
I also love the idea of having extra on board. Maybe another Davy Back Fight arc could add some members(once they actually KEEP!)? >>.
A monkey - he could help scout for them when they reach tropical islands. climb trees, look around the island, pick fruit, and be an alright fighter
a knife thrower - someone else said that, still a good idea
another musician - someone who plays a different instrument, and can go along with brook and franky
a giant squirrel - >> A giant who ate a squirrel-type zoan fruit?
some other membersBut in the end, i do agree that they should have about 20 crew mates. not all of them will have to be in every fight, and many can just stay behind and clean up the TS on occasion, when the rest of the crew (main cast) go off to fight (almost like past arcs, where chopper/nami/usopp would stay behind)

a giant squirrel?yeah im sure thats happenein

I haven't kept track of the thread, but if it hasn't been said, then a fishwoman (mermaid) siren would be perfect.

This would give the hypnotist ability for fighting and musical ability for crew position. Plus it'd be a female and a fishwoman. She might be a little old, but I don't think that'd stop Sanji.

People Keep saying if they got like 15 members "there would be too many to fight," but not everyone would really have to fight. Like that other guy said they could just stay behind, they could cheer the other guys on, fight 2 on 1(not really one piece like though), just watch, fight alot of the lesser members of other crews, or help out civillians, theres really alot that they could do while the others fight.
note: Black Beard has five crew members( including himself) the others will just do something else.(assuming ace didn't defeat him which I hope he didn't because it would be a good fight, Luffy V. Black Beard)

I'd actually love it if the next crew member has amnesia and ends up gaining their memory back and they are like an Admiral or a Yonkou or a Shichibukai or like the prince of Raftel or something.

Not to be rude but what does that have to do with anything at all?:wassat:
I'm sorry that sounds rude but I don't understand your comments relevance to anything else.

You know, I've been thinking about it, and why can't have Luffy have more than one musician in the crew? I mean, Franky can play guitar, so he's got some music talent. If Brooke joins them, he could lend his musical talents, whatever they are. And if a mermaid siren joins them, she'd also lend her musical expertise, should she have one. They could form a kick-a$$ band and kick-a$$ pirate crew! And 10 members is a good number, right? That would be perfect for the crew.

You know what's going to happen:
They're all going to do a musical finale.
Luffy will sing.
Franky on Guitar.
Brooke as backup vocals.
Nico Robin as a one-woman band.
Nami with a rain-stick.
…
and at the end, Sanji kicks a huge gong. -
Ok, can we now please stop with this Franky = Musician madness? All that guy did was playing three chords and thats it. If that makes a musician then everybody is a musician.
The assumption that he might also be a musician next to shipwrigt was already dull before he even joined the Strawhats but right now where it seems pretty likely that the next person that´ll join will be a real musician there really is no point about connecting Franky to that field.

Welcome to Rock and Roll, Franky.
And you know he must have an MP3 player mode too.

wowsers that would be specteculous(sarcasm,i hate the idea of a squirrel)
-
Okay, here's what I think.
Yeah, Brooke'll probably join.
Next? TOTAL Blacksmith. I got through 4 pages of this before deciding. Remember when Franky was explaining the different storage containers? How there's the Mini Merry, the Coup de Runawayquickly, the SharkSub and Rocking horse? And then the other two he wanted some super weapons? A blacksmith could totally build those weapons!
Plus I'm all for fish(wo)man joining, though I agree it'd be a lot of cramming in. Probably we'd need a good background story, and other stuff going on, and then we learn of this amazing weapon builder in the middle of the arc.
Or Franky can just do it with Usopp's ingenuity (is that right? uhm, ability to take random stuff and make cool things out of them. See: Nami's new Clima Tact and the OctoPucts. (they're SO KOOL!! XDD))
o.o; butyeah. Go Brooke. 'Sides, I need someone to star in a new baby AMV of mine. And who better than Brooke for Dem Bones? =D (come on baby, get lots of screentime! =DD)
-
You forgot Zoro, Chopper, and Usopp….
Zoro will run the mosh pit.
Chopper will be in charge of curing hangovers after a nigth of boozing.
Ussop will be in charge of pyrotechnics.And everyone is headbanging

i agree with the idea that the next crew member should be a helmsman.
but the thing is, if ever brook joined the crew, the next one should be a female, of whatever kind.
a female helmsman (err… should i change helmsman to helmswoman?), i am wondering, is that possible?

Why not? I don't know if the job would require a lot of physical strength, but even if it does, I am sure for example fishwoman wouldn't have any problems.
The proud captain (and only member) of the Limnology Pirates. Join us, we do all kinds of interesting stuff, including:
-Talking about arachnids.
-Argueing over the taxonomy of Algae.
-Glaring at people who claim that spiders are insects.
-
-
The next member should be a woman… A woman who will fall in love with Sanji and make Nami angry xD
-
haha
i don't think that's possible but that's a first of its kind. to predict coupling in one piece.
but maybe it can be someone who irritates the hell out of nami, since she remembers arlong and her village…
-
Okay, after the bouncer thing, I no longer think Brook will join. I wish he would, but doubt he will.
-
A female member and a female shichibukai. Come on people, stop with the obessession for females… I know most here are guys, but aren't the ones you have already enough. And look - Oda just gave you one more in the recent chapters.
If this was a girlie manga, I'd expect more females, but as this isn't I never expect to see a female and am suprised when one is present.

@SBS:
Often changes. Currently, qing jiao rou si.the fish as 9th crewmember ?!
this could be a foreshadowing element like the SBS in which
sanji's eyebrown was compared with the spinning of the earth
( foreshadowing on sanji's "diable jumbe"-move )and in this context it could be either a fishman/merman/maid
or the black and white contrast and the pattern look of the skin black/white stripes could lead us to the asumption -> Brookwho knows … maybe it was just a joke by oda!? lol
