He's kind of far away to be devoted. :P My problem with Usopp x Kaya (gasp a problem?): I don't want Usopp to go back to the boring village. That would be sad. Also, wouldn't want to see a situation like with Usopp's parents. That would also be very sad. Now if Kaya wants to become a pirate too, that's cool, but I don't see that happening.

[snapback]88255[/snapback]Hey maybe not now, but maybe after the journey end. Perphaps Ussop wiill back to his home. There's nothing as good as home right?
-
I dunno, have you seen any pirates in One Piece that have actually retired from living their dream?
(if there's nothing as good as home, why leave in the first place? :P )

[snapback]88315[/snapback]yeah, but that might because one piece still isn't found. i mean, if the strawhats are about to find it, which i'm sure they will, what would be the use of other pirates going around anymore?
except that they might enjoy the lifestyle. and that their ultimate dream might not be finding the treasure of the treasures afterall.
i have to stop answering to my own questions.…
oh wait, this isn't what the topic is about.
still sanji&luffy.
as for the options available, vivi&kohza is quite suiting. suitable? or some other word. my english vocabulary is amazing today. -
Zoro and Robin? That could work. People make a deal about Zoro not showing an interest in girls but I think he's just looking for one who understand him and can best him some times. Nami comes close there but she's a bit selfish for him.
Luffy and anybody? Are you kidding? He's like 12. (Yes I know he's 17 on paper)
He's about as sexual as the Cookie Monster.
I can see him falling asleep cuddling Chopper, but not in that way!Sanji and Nami? Not likely. I think it would have happened by now if it was going to. Nami has too much self respect to want such a player.
Sanji would have to realise he doesn't need all girls to get one.Zoro and Nami? Not compatible. Both being tough isn't enough.
Usopp and Kaya? Obviously but they would have to be together. I can't see her coping with the pirate life and I can't see him giving it up for a long time.
Shanks and Makino? So already happened.
Zoro and Sanji? NO WAY! Sanji's the straights guy ever. And if it did happen it wouldn't be lovey dovey.
The only fanfic I have seen work with this was very subtle, the want came from Zoro and he just expressed it as extra vigilance when Sanji got injured and abused by Crocodile. No kissing or more. Just Zoro being protective. At least that's likely.OP isn't really a couples show anyway. The all have other dreams.
There is nothing wrong with that. Too much romance would get in the way.
Who want's Mills and Boon One Piece?They are all Nakama. That's special. Plenty of stuff has romance. Nakama like these guys are rare and special.
-
For the "out of right field department"….
Nami x Arlong.
I wrote it. I admit writing it. Arlong loves the power trip of dominating the relationship, and Nami is pretty much reduced to a violated carcass.
One thought on Sanji... maybe he's doing a super-straight act cos of his own sexual identity concerns
-
Zoro and Tashigi is the best to me. Also Vivi and Kohza. Thats all. Kaya is too good for Ussop :P
-
One thought on Sanji… maybe he's doing a super-straight act cos of his own sexual identity concerns
HA! Possible but Sanji seems a bit too sincere for that. His girl chasing really seems more than an act from him. He really does care about them and is clearly threatened by other men.

[snapback]90748[/snapback]**A conscious act, no. But perhaps a "regression" sort of thing. There's uncertainty in his subconscious, so he responds by clutching ever tighter.
Perhaps some of it is also misdirected "nonsexual love" for some girls. I'd fully expect all the nakama to feel at least familial love for each other, but that doesn't explain his reactions to virtually every woman
God, it's 12.09 AM on a Saturday night, and what am I doing? Sitting in front of a computer with way more performance than I possibly could need, arguing about the sexual orientation of a manga character. God, I'm a geek. :P
-
Well for me I have to with Luffy x Nami.
Sure there have been many instances where other members of the straw hat's have held on to his hat but usually Nami is always the one who hangs on to it for him. Even past the scene in the Arlong arc.
As most have said Nami totally let's her guard down around Luffy. Even since the beginning everything he's done has surprised her and the Arlong Arc just intensified those feelings.
She's sort of the Anti-Luffy. If Luffy would be with anyone he would need someone to counteract his hyperactive-ness and such. Nami fills in this role nicely.
Sorry but I don't see Luffy with Robin… although Luffy being Robin's love slave would be funny... maybe a Luffy x Nami x Robin threesome could be in the works? :lol:
As for Zoro x Nami, I never really liked this couple. I mean it's ok and all but I could never really see Zoro with Nami. They clash far too much and I honestly think Zoro is more annoyed of her and destests her than "hiding his feelings" as most would say.
As for Sanji x Nami I have two reasons why I don't like this pairing.
1. Sanji's girl obsession. I can't honestly see Sanji being with anyone unless he quits falling for every girl he see's. Since this seems impossible though since Sanji is indeed a "pimpin' ladies man" I just can't see him with anyone.
2. The fact that Nami really has no hidden feelings for Sanji or anything. In fact she just uses Sanji's weakness in women to her advantage. Sanji would deserve better than that if he was seriously considering finding someone.
Hmmm I don't mind Sanji x Robin though. I mean the whole strong will, high class thing does seem like it could work. That and Robin would probably dominate Sanji anyways.
Still I think Zoro x Robin is more probable. Ever since the end of Arabasta I've felt like there's been a lot of tension between the two or at least in Zoro's case. I actually think he does like her a little he just doesn't want to admit it because he didn't trust her at first.
I'm on the fence with Zoro x Tashigi though mainly because of a point someone else brought up. The fact that he really wouldn't love Tashigi for her but because he saw Kunia in her.
Heh well hey I know Vivi x Kohza is pretty much gonna be canon but what about if it was Sanji x Vivi?
I also like Luffy x Vivi for some reason...
Hmmm Luffy x Nami x Robin x Vivi foursome... SMEXY!
Luffy's the master pimp. He's even more of a master pimp than Sanji. :lol:
and well on a final note I also believe Ussop x Kaya WILL happen. But I think in the end he's going to want to go back out to sea again but this time Kaya will come with him. After all by then she'll be a doctor and doctors are always useful on the sea. Of course Chopper could be travelling with them as well and continue to teach Kaya.
But yes I believe that the:
Luffy x Nami
Zoro x Robinpairings have been building up for a while now and I really think if there would be pairings these would be the two main one's.
-
Zoro x Robin
They're both more mature than the others and they seem to be the oldest.

[snapback]91054[/snapback]**A minor nitpick but Sanji is older then Zoro. :D
-
By a year…
like that would make any sort of difference though...
But in the maturity department I have to agree that Zoro is one of the most mature members of the crew along with Robin so that would make them seem really good together too.

Only by 8 months.But I agree that Zoro is more mature than Sanji.
-
Sanji and Nami would have the hottest kids, no doubt!
They would make the best couple because it is the most played-on coupling ever. (My point is very hard to put into words)

I think there are a lot of Sanji/Zoro fans who wish this was true!
(and if you are a geek then so am I. Nothing wrong with that.)BTW Zoro and Sanji and both 19 but Zoro is way more mature.
I could see Robin and Zoro. Appart from Usopp they are the only Strawhats who seem remotely ready to have a serious relationship. The others are still playing.
-
Robin is too old for Zoro Well, to me. ^^'
-
Wow, so many SanjixNami fans! I actually voted KohzaxVivi, since I think that's as close to canon as you can get in the OP world, but SanjixNami is my favorite pairing among the Straw Hats.
As for their kids, if Sanji and Nami did have kids they would have only girls. Sanji was destined to have daughters, let's face it. And what a proud, over-protective father he'd be, too. :P
In terms of other pairings, I firmly belive that Smoker belongs with Hina (he and Tashigi couldn't really stand together as equals, and there is so much freaking SEXUAL TENSION whenever Smoker is with Hina) and that Luffy belongs with NOBODY. I don't care how cool his 17-year old body is, he has the mind of a TEN-YEAR OLD. I don't think sex ever crosses his mind. Right now all he's thinking about is food and being a pirate, not romance. And like people have said before, he loves all of his nakama equally.
And I would like to voice my support of a vastly-overlooked pairing in the OP fandom:
WiperxLaki
I know some people support WiperxKonis, which is fine, but I think there is more ground for argument for Wiper and Laki. Not only does she come from the same tribe and was one of his guerilla fighters, in the flashbacks there seemed to be evidence pointing at them. (I don't have the manga on me, if I did I'd describe the scenes in details)
But the scene that sticks out in my mind the most is when Wiper and Zoro are stuck in Ohm and Holy's white steel cage-thingy and Laki appears to warn Wiper about Ener. Then Ener shows up and is his usual violent, bastard self. I noticed at that point that Wiper is clutching the barbed-wire to the point that his hands are bleeding, and he doesn't even notice since he's screaming at Laki to run. Hell, he doesn't even react when one of Ener's goons gives him an Impact Dial to the back, all he does is spit up blood while he stares at Laki going "you goddamn idiot . . . ." And after Laki gets fried Wiper is suitably pissed.
-
Robin is too old for all the Straw Hats. The only wedding inside the volumes are Moose X Seto, but that doesn't really count…............ Luffy is too stupid. Maybe it seems like it but Luffy only thinks of her as a friend ^^; In the Straw Hats nobody shows much interest to the opposite sex but Sanji and he fancies Nami the most so thats the only close to possible thing ^^;
-
I have to say that I'm a bit of a Sanji and Nami fan myself… but I don't count out the possibility of Luffy and Nami. But I doubt that Oda would ever give any closure to either...
Of couse, I also don't mind random pairings of the Straw Hats... come on, they each have interesting relationships and interactions with each other!
-
Okie-Dokie….
I love Kaya/Usopp. 'c mon...It's just sooo....KAWAII!!! ^__^ I also love Nami/Luffy.
It's also sort of kawaii...ish.but my favorite has to be Hina/Smoker. I don't know why, I just really like it. ^-^
-
Usopp x Kaya. They both make each other happy, and that's what makes a solid relationship.
-
I dont think that Luffy never thinks about sex. Sure he acts like a kid at times, but remember that hes seen nami topless twice (once thanks to Bon Clay) and if that doesn't have you thinking about sex, then your probly gay! (jk) So a Luffy romance wouldn't be immposible. I think hes just putting it off 'till he becomes Pirate King.
-
Zoro may be mature, but I think he's pretty asexual. If I had to choose, I'd say Luffy. (Just because.)
The Marines, I think, are having one huge orgy (but only with each other, as many pirates carry nasty diseases). This includes Coby/Helmeppo, which is pretty canon-but-not anyway. (Because hammer-guns equal love.) And also SmokerxHinaxTashigi. Clumsy, cancer-inducing bondage.
And even though TV specials are far from canon, Bonnie and Max are cute. They already have surrogate children!
-
Zoro x Luffy
Zoro x Sanji
Nami x Sanji
Nami x Robin____>;;
-
Oh, I forgot.
Jonny/Yosaku
I think this is the non-het version of Vivi/Kohza or Usopp/Kaya.
-
I was wondering who is your favorite couple in OP? Or possible couple? It's wierd since there isn't any 'definite' romance in the series,but who is your favorite? And also which couple do you think has the best chance of ending up together at the end of the series?
UsoppxKaya
NamiXluffy
SanjixNami
ZoroxTAshigi(I think those are the most hinted at and popular couples as far as the main characters go,aside from Yaoi or Yuri ones! ^^; )
-
aside from Yaoi or Yuri ones! ^^; )
Yet you have SanjixLuffy on there?
UsoppxKaya is the only one I see having any chance of happening. Zoro is pretty disturbed by Tashigi, and Nami and Luffy are like brother and sister. Besides, I don't think Luffy understands romance at all.
-
Usopp x Kaya-
Is pretty much a given. (he has to go back after his adventures and tell Kaya- exagerating extreemly the whole time!) This is definatly the most possible relationship.Nami x Luffy-
I suppose it is possible. It would be one of those anger = love things? Nami gets angry at Luffy a lot. It is hard to say Luffy favors anyone on the other hand, because he seems to love everyone on his ship. (as nakama of course ;D) Nami seems to be a lot more loyal to Luffy than she used to be though (generally). She also feels she has a big debt to Luffy for kicking the snot out of Arlong, I supose. One thing is for sure, if she DOES have any feelings for Luffy, she sure doesn't let it on, and Luffy for sure has no idea, nor would understand if she told him anything. ^_^; Chances are, even if there are feelings here, they won't ever go beyond feelings unless Luffy becomes, well, more sane/responsible/etc.Sanji x Luffy-
I'm not much of a Yaoi person, so I won't make much of a comment here… aside from if I had to pick a yaoi couple, I would so favor Sanji x Zoro... because it is so humurous.Zoro x Tashigi-
This is a hard one. It is obvious Zoro has a problem going face to face with her (due to personal reasons) and it is also obvious they WILL have to fight eachother at some point in the manga/anime. I don't think Zoro would get into any couple relationship with her until after he becomes the greatest swordsman ever though, she would just get in his way up to that point. (in his PTV anyways) There is also the fine line of Zoro being a pirate, and Tashigi being a marine. I have a feeling Tashigi doesn't have many feelings for him YET, and Zoro seems to be a bit scared of her because she reminds him of his childhood friend. It all depends if Zoro feels the pain of past memories is too strong for him to ever be that close to her.. that is just my opinion, though. Personally, I think the chance of this relationship is close to zero.BTW, I think polls are supposed to be approved by the moddies. D=
-
Guys, I think Ao Kiji meant to put SanjixNami. I mean, uh, the poll..
-
Similar thread already done: http://ap.animemedia.org/showthread.php?t=1850
But what the heck.
UsoppxKaya - Yeah, it 's cute. I know a lot of people think "it's a given", but I don't, considering he's gone and joined a pirate crew that is quickly becoming extremely infamous. And I have to say honestly just the though of things coming to a point where Usopp actually goes back to that boring village makes me very uncomfortable.
NamiXluffy - I don't see Luffy romantically involved with anyone. He just doesn't seem to care about that. But it's not impossible. There is something sort of cute about that.
SanjixLuffy - I wonder if this was actually a typo. XD That's one yaoi pairing I almost never see.
ZoroxTAshigi - They're on opposite sides of the law, and Zoro most definately seems to have no interest in romantic affairs, so I say the chances of that happening are pretty slim.Guys, I think Ao Kiji meant to put SanjixNami. I mean, uh, the poll..
Yeah, I thought so too, but it's funnier this way. XD
As for SanjixNami, I don't see that ever happening, because a)Nami shows no interest other than using his overzealousness for her own advantages, and b) Sanji probably won't settle down with one woman. -
Mohji x Cabaji =D Even though they're kinda not that close, and they're quick to battle each other after Buggy's "death". I shall never give up hope that they will be lovers!
Out of that list, Usopp x Kaya, definitely. I don't see Luffy ever having a sexual relationship with someone, and the fact that he treats Nami just the way he treats everyone else should be a sign, Zoro and Tashigi hate each other, Sanji throws himself at any woman he sees (though I might see him settling down with Nami because he loves her so much :D)…and that's about it. Usopp x Kaya all the way!
-

Not even the 20 women were enough for Sanji, he had to woo a guy as well.
(that guy is buy FAR the creepiest guy in the anime/manga)
I don't think Nami could take such rotten cheating. ;D
-
Yet you have SanjixLuffy on there?
Well Yaoi pairings would be WAY too hard to pin down in a shounen series, I mean with all the feelings of comradery and friendship going around overzealous fanboys and girls could easily use that as an excuse to say two male characters are 'into each other.' I mean technically Usopp and Chopper could be a yaoi pair! :laugh:
As for Luffy not knowing anything about romance..well..I dun wanna play the dragonball card yet again with this series,but Goku was MORE clueless than Luffy…yet he had so many kids with Chichi...>_>...lol
All it takes is an aggressive enough woman,which Nami IS! :laugh:
Oh and the evidence for NamixLuffy,atleast the first evidence that made ppl think of them as couple was back in the Kuro arc when she nearly gets killed trying to save him(Django threw the disk that almost sliced Nami in half,but instead it just hits Luffy in the back of the ouch head! And once he sees what they tried to do to Nami, Luffy gets REALLY angry....I mean he gets, 'you tore my hat' angry!LOL).^LMAO forbidden toast! XD
Omg random guy to the leftxsanji, my new fave pairing~! -
I like Usopp x Kaya~ ;P There are some crack pairings I love more than actual ones though. xDD
Cozmick, empty thou pm box. :P
-
UxK is the only one I can see.
I suppose part of Usopp's insanity was always out of a lust for real adventure. By the end, he'll have satisfied his need for it. I expect the WG to be in a shambles at the end of the series, so the infamity of the crew is not an issue.
Nami with anyone: Sanji's too clutchy, Luffy's too stupid. I can see her with Chopper. Both have that whole "abused by other species" thing, both like intellectual stuff, and I wanna see you all go o.O
Zoro x Tashagi: I need a lot better answer for their paring than "she looks like Kuina" too.
-
Guys I dont think Sanji is wooing 20 girls, its 19 girls and one man :laugh:
-
all about usopp/kaya. chicks dig the nose ~_^
-
I like Usopp x Kaya~ ;P There are some crack pairings I love more than actual ones though. xDD
Cozmick, empty thou pm box. :P
Oops, sorry. fixed
I must be one of the few Usopp fans in the world that doesn't like UsoppXKaya much. :laugh: I did waaaaay back when I first watched that first story arc, but, yeah.
I suppose part of Usopp's insanity was always out of a lust for real adventure. By the end, he'll have satisfied his need for it. I expect the WG to be in a shambles at the end of the series, so the infamity of the crew is not an issue.
But the love for adventure never dies!
PS - yay for crack pairings!
-
Am I the only one who thinks Usopp will get his own crew at the end, and Kaya will be the crew's doctor?
-
I can't say it's impossible, but I don't see Kaya becoming a pirate.
Also, it makes me kind of sad to think of the strawhat crew breaking up. :bawling: -
UsoppxKaya;
I think it's cute, but I never really saw it as a serious thing. I could see them as a pair after Usopp finishes his adventures with the mugiwara crew thoughNamiXLuffy
I don't really see Luffy as teh loving type ;P. I think he views everyone equally as his nakama, so the idea of his having a specific relationship with one person never really struck me as being wholly plausible. Besides, could you see Luffy settling down with someone? He'd keep on having adventures until he diesSanjixNami
I could see Sanji hitting it off with one girl, but so far no-one's really treated his melodramatic love-fests seriously (Then again, it's kind of hard to take him seriously when he acts that way with every pretty girl). I guess you could say that Sanji's ability to stay with one girl has never really been tested, but I wouldn't put it beyond his ability if he met the right person. But… is that one person Nami? Hmm, probably not, I think. There's a certain level of affection between the two, and despite how much Nami use's his lovingness I think she does hold some appreciation for him. They don't make a bad couple, but I don't really see it happening unless some of their attitudes change.ZoroxTashigi
It's cute and makes a level of sense, but does Zoro really have more of a reason apart from the fact that she looks like Kuina? xD;... Still, they both share a love of swords if nothing else.
-
Geez O__O
I'm the only one who voted Sanji x Nami O__O Ah well, I like the idea of the two of them ending up together, might not happen, but I like the pair myself…
As much as I know that the pairing in my sig willl never happen... sigh -
I dont agree to the Nami X Luffy thing.
I think Luffy is too dull to fall in love….GYAH!
WHat the heck am i saying.... -
Poll not approved. Poll closed.
-
-
What about RobinXLuffy?
-
Like others have said, Usopp x Kaya is one of the few that I can see. Afterwards, Sanji and Nami, which may not work or, or it may. Personally, my money goes on UxK.
-
I like Sanji x Nami (out of your typical popular ones) and Zoro x Nami (out of your typical unpopular ones) I won't bother explaining, since I'd feel like a broken record, I have so many times already, here being one for ZxN.
What I am a HUGE fan of is 'ship respect, since One Piece has no canon ones, and it's 99.99% likely that it never will. I really see all pairings (het, yaoi, and yuri alike) as fair game on the fandom field, since Oda's already said he's not doing it on the canon field.
-
Ah! I don't think I saw this topic or replyed…. well here goes...
Ones I think are cannony and I LIKE are..
Nami x Usopp
Kaya X Usopp
Vivi X KohzaI kinda think there could have been something with Mr.0 X Robin
I like more yaoi pairs then het.. -shot-
like...
Sanji X Ace
Sanji X Usopp
Cabaji X MohjiI wont list them all tho~
From the list I voted Usopp X Kaya
