Well, why not… Favorite Shabondy Rookies?

Lazzie

My guess - these eleven will all tear into each other and the **** gets bananas. At the end, only Luffy, Zoro, and one or two others will be not-captured, and at least one will enter the collection of a tenryubito.

Also, I have a feeling we'll have some Luffy vs. Kidd and Zoro vs. Killer.

But yeah, my favorite. Maybe it's because I love American gangster films, but I like Bege's design. I hope he has some kind of ridiculous flame-related DF power. Of course, it helps that The Untouchables is such a wonderful movie.

Wasn't this whole chapter showing that all of them tried their best to restrain themselves because of the proximity to Marine HQ?

WestPirate

Urouge because he is from Skypiea. =3

NuFiasco

You people have no taste. Law though? He's so boring except for his tatoos. Bonny Apoo, and Drake ooze the awesome

God_Eneru

The most boring characters can be interesting…Sometimes, but I voted Law he just seems interesting.

@Buuhan1:

My God, you're fucking ridiculous. Kira didn't even exist before Death Note (in most cases). Enjoy making an ass out of yourself.

Btw, I've heard of a few dogs named "Ace".

Yeah, and I've heard of dogs named both Buu and Han. Your point being?

Fine, I'll call him Killer. What's it to you what I call him anyway? È rosa di un altro nome…

Anyway, on topic: Killer and Kid are my favorites. don't think either ate devil fruits, either.

Trafalgar. I like his design, it's funny. He reminds me of that shady guy on the street who always looks stoned x3

Umm… Just to cause a little more trouble, without meaning to...

Ace-san, your point of dogs being called Buu and Han is relatively childish. Buuhan-san's point about dogs being called Ace was more of an attempt to show you how stupid your point about dogs being called "Killer" being degrading to a character was.

I mean, you're the one saying "Why should it bother anyone what I call a character?"

If that is the case, why should you be so uptight about what Oda called his character ("Killer"), just because of what some people call their dog? Your points are somewhat contradictory.

It'd be like someone calling my character Shiro "White" (as foolish as that would be, in a world where you get brutally attacked for innocently saying it without intent of racism), because they think it's stupid that his name could also be taken to mean "Castle". If I called my character that, then I called him it, so it's tough on the fans that they don't like the name choice.

And to be on topic: I personally like the looks of Drake, and find the idea of him being a rogue marine fascinating. We need a few more marines with different ideals, as opposed to all of them being "ONE JUSTICE!11 KEEL ALL PIRATEZ!Wootlol!12"

Santouryuu

I'm actually kinda wondering if all the rookies are just gonna fight the Strawhats, considering each of the rookies in some way can mirror one of the crew. I mean

Kid = Luffy (Captain, and considering he's the only one who really is a match for Luffy - 300 vs 315 million)
Scratchman Appo = Brooke (Musician to some extent)
Trafalgar Law = Chopper (Doctor)
Bonney or Capone = Sanji (Food related somehow, IDK)
Killer = Zoro (Blades, and considering each is a crewman of some sick captain)

I know, it's kinda sketchy, but it seems like with all the power here, stuffs gonna go down.

BTW, I voted Trafalgar, he reminds me of Trent from Daria.

AWB

Why the fuck would Killer being a dog's name make any difference?

@AWB:

Why the fuck would Killer being a dog's name make any difference?

^-^ My point exactly. Thank-you for summing it up.

Dragon Warrior Steve

I like Soldier Killer and Law for their cool lookin' deigns.

@Fire Fist:

The fuck kinda dog owners live by you?

Kaze

Law looks like the smartest out of the bunch. and will probably be one of the most evil which will be awesome. so yeah. law.

Zigee

law looks somewhat like zoro lol

candrew

I voted for Drake for a couple of reasons. Besides the whole single letter for a name, whether it be an actual name or representing 10, and the dual wielding of weapons, I want to find out why he defected from the navy.

Buuhan1

@Kaze:

Law looks like the smartest out of the bunch. and will probably be one of the most evil which will be awesome. so yeah. law.

I say that's a given. I mean, his name is Law. Of course he's gonna be bad. Usually characters aren't given those types of names not to be anything BUT ironic.

tigerlilly

voted for Urouge because he reminds me of my grampa XD and his wings are just badass
but I´m really curious if the characters will be used only once on shabondy or if we´ll see them later. Maybe the will even work toghether with the strawhats in a lats epic battle rookies vs. WG.
If only half of them aren´t fodder I´m happy

really? the only ones I can think of are Law from tekken and the movie "The One" with Jet Li.

It's possible Law could be named after Edward "Ned" Low. Low was a butcher/masochist. When he captured a Boston Whaler, he made the Captain slice off his own ears and eat them. In another ship capture, he made the First Mate eat the heart of the Captain. His crew eventually mutinied and set him adrift in a coffin with no food. The French found him and hung him.

Zell_D_Monkey

.. … .... eyuch.

Anyway, they all look really cool. Looking forward to seeing Basil fight the most though.

Scrachman Apoo and Soldier Masscure Killer are tied for my fav. names

and Law is just smoking hot. do want.

myogatheflea

Jewelry Bonney definitely interests me the most. Second pick, if I had to choose, would be Kid.

Regular

Uroge is fodder!

eerie

Design: Law
Possibilities: Urouge

I would love to learn more about Urouge. Also, I thought it would be obvious to most people that the reason his bounty is comparatively lower than the rest of the Captains bounties is because his crew hasn't traveled as far (and assumingly as long) as the other crews, therefore, not giving him as much opportunity to rack up a incredibley high bounty. I think he's done pretty well for where he came from on the GL, nay? Who knows where it is in respect to Skypiea, though. I'll assume close, at least.

Edit: And if ANYONE is fighting anyone, it should be obvious it'll have to do with Kid/Killer and Luffy/Zoro.

Uhh … I think you mean sadist, a masochist is someone who pleasures in there own suffering while a sadist pleasures in others suffering.

FireFistAce 0

@sabret00the:

No one knows. He had three ships at the time, the two captains of the other ships simply abandoned him. There's two different accounts of what happened: one is that they simply sailed off and left him to this own devices. He sailed off in his ship, the "Merry Christmas", and was never seen again. Other accounts say that the crew mutinied and left him with no provisions on the ship, setting it adrift until a French Ship picked him up and promptly hung him. If anything, it was probably because of his extremely psychopathic behavior.

And you're right, ThunderEarthFire, I meant Sadist.

Another interesting fact about Low is that his flag was Blackbeard's flag at first, as Teach was his idol, but later changed it to simply a red skeleton.

Apoo and Bege are grossly under appreciated here.

What a chowinkydink.

mugiwara

I have to go with Scratchmen. I just love his character design, from the face, to the outfit, to the longarms, to the wacky name, he really seems to me to have the most original character design of the group.

lil odz

wow, fairly even results except for law.

i voted for kid. he looks evil, kinda like moria. and he must be pretty evil if he has a high bounty for racking up civilian casulties.

Throes

I voted for Trafalgar law, literally just sitting there throwing his brow, grinning. Also for a badass character design and name. However, I'd place Capone in a close second.

I think they are all awesome but I voted for Drake anyway. He's probably the one I'm looking forward to seeing more of the most just to find out what his X on chin and in his name are all about.

Expecting something big from this dude. (No penis jokes pl0x)

Also, penis.

ramza85

Trafalgar Law cos this guy really could be gin.. looking back, gin was called a 'evil' cause he was heartless and merciless to his enemies.. Heart pirates ah? Sound fishy..

William Kidd

maybe…
Jewelry Bonney = Miss Valentine
They look quite similar and her devils fruit would explain why she's not fat.

TokageMoria

My top favorites have got to be:

1. Scratchman Appo - I mean, come on! A chinese music-themed pirate! I wanna see what this guy can seriously do.
2. Basil Hawkins - Really interesting character, and the one with the third highest bounty out of the rookies.
3. Killer- Simply badass with the sickles and mask.

Right below Killer would be Law and then probably Capone cause of the mafia theme. Its hard to tell what Capone can do, but then again, who would've expected Foxy to be strong at first glance (seriously).

Impel Down

Law

Cool name and cool appearence, not to mention not having any weapons or having any physical stances that would make him a "fighter", which would make him the baddest one there, by manga-standards. Easy to pin him having a DF.

Basil Hawkins is a very, very close 2nd.

Gorlom

ID: Did you not spot the sword next to law?

or what do you mean by:

not having any weapons or having any physical stances that would make him a "fighter",

Impel Down

I did not see a sword, no. And everyone else there either carried weapons or was really violent or angry in their nature so him being the only "calm" one just made him cool. I'm not saying he's not a fighter, because given his epithet and the way he talked to Drake made him seem, to me, like he does fight really well.

Neomaster121

law did have a sword he was sitting right next to it

Impel Down

yeah looking back I see it

But like with Hawkins, he doesn't seem totally dependent on it. And with a title like "Magician" or "Dark Doctor", that doesn't really lead to anything sword-related, so I'm thinking that they're both DF users too.

dirt monkey AL

Got to say my favorite is Scratchmen Apoo.

I mean his whole set up screams music, and that kanji on his shirt means sound.

Oto Oto Fruit, anyone? That's something I've been looking forward to, and I hope Oda delivers. I mean the building was apparently coming down around him and Kid, so maybe reverberations and all that?

Besides him, I … I don't know why, but for some reason Kid's face is just very attractive even though he looks like Moria. Other than that, there's no reason for me to watch over him other than that his bounty's higher than Luffy's.

AWB

Law is starting to grow on me.

Bege is still my favorite, though. But I fear he will have the smallest role out of all the supernovas.

Kingoffans

I'm confident all the Supernovas are going to play a huge role one way or the other. Except maybe Urouge lol

ThunderEarthFire

@Kingoffans:

Huge role? They are just the minor villans of a small arc that will precede a big arc. They have no role except to get there asses kicked. We probably won't see them again after this arc is over, except in a sidestory.

Kingoffans

… Do you even read the same manga as I do? Fully fleshing out the Supernovae and using each of them in an intricately developed plot with them put in perfect positions is exactly the kind of thing Oda-sensei would do. I mean look at how he just pulled Duval and used him for something who also counts as a minor villain by your definition.
