Sorry if this is a worthless thread, but I was thinking…. The SHP have a captain, first mate, navigator, sharkshooter, cook, doctor, researcher, carpenter, and hopefully soon a musician. But who will Luffy or Oda-sama chose next as a crew member? I personally think a magician... yes because if you have a bony guy who plays music then why not have a Fishman or merman that can do a few magic trick!? So what are your thoughts on this?
The next new Nakama?

-
It'll be waaaay too soon if a new crewmember joins next arc. Assuming Brooke is joining, which I hope he does.
-
This thread has been done before, use search next time.
-
…..sorry.......
-
Magician: no
I guess the only thing left would be either a berserker (which is kinda Zoro) or a cabin boy. -
oh no not a cabin boy.
am i the only that thinks that brooke shouldnt be the next crewmember?
remember the next arc is gonna relate to fishman and id much rather have a fishman join the crew than a bony skeleton -
Maybe a gyoujin priest?
-
magician? priest?
what is this… World of warcraft or something?how about a sorcereress or rogue or a paladin
-
While we have had this thread before, the last one was before even Franky joined so it seems kind of wierd to bump a thread that has someone talking about Paulie joining next. So this can stay.
-
@regasatanum
I consider Nami kinda rogue-ish. You know, cause she stole before.
Maybe Oda will go quick with this and a mermaid will join (a pretty one of course). And her mermaid powers are enough. -
^^
ahh..yes and sanji is kinda paladin-ish too. His chivalry.
-
After Robin joined as historian nothing is really off limits. Also remember that some members are just ship hands. So if a new member joined and had no job then it wouldnt be a crime.
am i the only that thinks that brooke shouldnt be the next crewmember?
Yes, yes you are.

I don't really like Brooke yet. He's a "gentleman" skeleton who's really a jackass. I know it's a joke, but his character hasn't really shown any worth to being on the crew. However, I originally disliked Franky, but Oda definitely redeemed the character.
So who would come after a musician?
Suggested positions:
Fisherman (Usopp fishes, but isn't that good)
Lookout (Usopp would fit, but he isn't assigned to it)
Diplomat/Communications officer (Brooke, maybe, if he joins, or Robin)
Wench (not gonna happen)
Diver (maybe a mermaid, like suggested above)
Deckhand/Rigger (everyone's job at the moment)
Helmsman (Nami usually doesn't do it due to the strength required)
Master weaponsmith (Usopp can't craft pure weapons)Unofficially filled positions:
Accountant/Merchant (Nami)
Alchemist (Chopper)
First mate (Zoro)
Historian (Robin)
Pet (Chopper)
Cannoneer (Usopp)
Engineer (Usopp/Franky)

I really dobut Brooke joins. My opinion is that it will be a mer/fish woman, I don't know what role that fills.
hnngrnrgh
-
Well, personally I'm not "sold" on Brooke yet. I don't have a strong opinion about him joining either way. We just barely got to know him.
I think at this point there's a 50% chance of him joining. -
To me Brooke has large chance, seeing as how Luffy wants him as his crewmate and telling Brooke that he will get his shadow back. Brooke runs off and now the entire Straw Hat Crew is plunged into another adventure.
Also, a fishman or someone of that nature might be the next possibility. They would be a large help with anything having to do with water. Although I think it's way too early to think of another crewmate before we even get the Brooke thing straight.
-
There aren't really any positions to fill that are especially useful to the crew. A helmsman would be good, though they don't particularly need one. Would be useful, though, so the rest can concentrate on their stuff…
-
To me Brook has a great chance of joining because
A) Yuffy wants him on the crew bad because to yuffy him as a person is awesome and he fills the role he belives is most important. On top of that the only reason he did not join was because he has no shadow and would die if he did. (which is prolly yuffy's reason to go on Thriller bark)
B) He said he had to fight some one. It is shown that if a important arc character fights he has a good chance of joining.(Sanji, Franky, and Chopper for examples)
C) Since we found out that HogBack and Brooks are connected it would be hard to exsplain the story of Brook and his relation to HogBack without a flash back would be neer impossible. And when some one has a flash back that means a new crew member (Except for the sky arc.)
As for "selling Brook" we will see more of him since he's obviously a major arc character. I think he'll grow on more people as the story goes on.

@Sven:

I don't know, I have this suspicion that Oda is trying to fill up the crew before they reach the New World. If this is true then its extremely likely that they do get another nakama after Brook (Brook would definately be joining if my suspicion is right) at Gyojin Isle. My idea for the new nakama would be a male gyojin (fishman) with Arlong-ish strength, who fights with a spear (afterall, the SH need more fighters coming up to the NW). As for job on ship, they could be the helmsman, afterall gyojin do have a local affinity to water (Nami is a great navigator and all but she is no helmsman, and Chopper is as much a helmsman as Usopp was a shipwright). He could also double up as diver/fisherman, using his spear to hunt fish, not to mention he would be the best choice for capturing fish for the SH's onboard aquarium….
-
i think brook will join
he has an aura of being special and deep character like the other straw hatsbut i also want a mermaid will join too
no lessOR I'm too lazy and uninspired to make a proper sig
-
I agree with most people about Brook. I wonder how good of a fighter he is though and what kind of style he uses. Maybe he beats mofos with his cane or something. But yeah, after him, that'd be kikass if they get a mermaid. They need atleast one more female in there.
-
Well Brook may use his voice or something else…. (Why I say his voice.... I just think he just will.)
-

I think at this point there's a 50% chance of him joining.Well I think he's going to join since Oda-sama loves to draw strange creatures and characters. Since Brook is a Skeleton that walks and talks and he plays music much to Luffy's liking. Also as an added thing I don't know why I think this but i think that Brook will soon get skin some how….. I don't know why I think this, but it just haunts me that he will.
-
I don't see how a Mermaid or Merman could join. The crew is generally very close, but they'd have to stay in the water and would only occasionally appear. A Gyojin could join, I guess…

Luffy has decided that Brooke is their "precious nakama"
- I´d be veeery surprised if Luffy wouldn´t get what he wants …... on a second thought I´m not sure if Brooke wouldn´t be a very difficult character if he joined permanently (even for Oda) - skeleton and pervy jokes might become old quite fast and the everyday interaction in the crew might feel ... hm, strange?
-
I'm all for a magician joining, just so long as his name is Trevor, and the tricks that he does are ever so clever.
-
As of the current chapter, I don't think Brooke should join. I do like him, but with his current development I don't think he'd fit in just yet. That could very soon change, however.
Diplomat/Communications officer (Brooke, maybe, if he joins, or Robin)
If the crew needed a diplomat, Oda would have had Vivi join. Speaking of her though, I could see her using her political influence to secretly help the crew later on in the series.
-
The crew needs a male member who Nami ACTUALLY LIKES but he doesn't notice.

No. Hell no.
We don't need any Sasuke and Sakura-action/shit in One Piece. -
I was thinking Hinata and Naruto shit.

This post is deleted!

Not even that shit.
And dude, you DON'T have to post on every fucking topic there is.
It's getting annoying. -
I think we need another female crewmember.
-
I think with ten members their would be an end….
Brook is good for joining the crew or i dont really understand this new arc...when chopper doesn`t learn how he can control the monsterA musican is someone who must join so..... and a female mermaid....would be great....than its enough i think and we can go to the new world..
-
As useless as it would be, I'd be amused by a mermaid that just hangs out in their tank and plays with the fish. :p
-
What about a female merman?
-
What if Oda chose a gasp UNATTRACTIVE FEMALE MEMBER?
-
With an aquaruim on board, a fishman could be likely. Also, another powerhouse like person on the crew would definetly help the Strawhats in the new world, as Fishman have immense strength.
-
Or instead of a gyojin it could be a female mermaid and now Sanji will cream himself 33% more.
-
Y'know, I think the next crewmember will be a human. Why? Think about it. All of the strawhats are at the limit of human strength, because they are humans. Well, excluding Chopper, but the fact that he is a human zoan does play into this. What I'm trying to get at here is that all of the strawhats are strong despite having the power of the physically weakest sentient species in their world. Why would Oda break that by introducing a new crewmember who would be stronger at birth than a human? Once again, I think that the next crewmember, hell, all new crewmembers will be, in some way, shape, or form, human.
Plus, this idea includes Brook. Technically, he is a human. Just a human without skin, organs, or muscle.
-

The SH passed the "limit" a LONG time ago. Hell, I think you're the only one here who thinks the SH are anywhere NEER their limit.
Heck , after the whole water 7 arc the idea of a "limit" should of died.

Because even though Humans are generaly the weakest race the power of the SH is a very big exception (and who ever they face really). And just because they are stronger doesnt make them better fighters.
Just like the SH were able to beat arlongs Fish-Men early in the story. They where ten times as strong as men but they all lost. Introducing a Merman/maid would hardly faulter the power of the others.
-
I'm hoping maybe it could be a female fish-man, I suppose brook might make a good new nakama as well but I haven't really seen what he can do yet
-
I HAVE A HUUUUUGGGGGEEEE THEEEOOORRRYYYYY Oda may "pull a fast one" an have Brooke turn out to be the VILLAN, and have Doctor HOGBACK join the crew.
To trick the fans.
I can totally see that happening.
-
^^ And have another doctor on the crew? I highly doubt that that would happen. Brook is almost a cert for joining.
-
You know, the more people wish the next crewmember to be a female merman, the less I hope s/he will be. I mean, it would be cool to have more non-human characters besides Chopper, but I'd rather want Oda to come up with something more original than a merman. Since everyone is predicting/hoping for a female merman, having one join the crew would seem unoriginal and predictable. So far most of the new crewmembers have been VERY unpredictable, and I would like for that trend to continue.
-
Yeah but how many mermaids have we seen? I just wanna see a mermaid that can kick some ass. She doesn't even have to join (although that'd be cool). I just think the diversity in the crew is pretty amazing and that seems to be what Oda's going for. I also would like at least one more female in the crew. One like the top fighters (Luffy/Zoro/Sanji/Franky) who has very good physical strength and maybe somewhat of an attitude. SO basically, a badass tomboy mermaid is what I hope we'll get sooner or later
. -
The trouble with having a female mermaid join the crew is she will always be over 30 years old. If our previous mermaid was anything to go by… I don't want to see anymore 30+ female mermaids, I'd rather see another Camie type.
Then again, you might a rather sassy mermaid around 35-40 years old who wouldn't be too much of shock as Kororo was.
-
I want a dog, the straw hats need a dog!! Or a silly/stupid/bizarre animal pet!!! XDDD
That will be the next new member! XP
-
I still want Smoker to join… but i doubt it's gonna happen.
And Brooke for sure! He's just too weird to not to be in the crew!
