First question: By means of average, what's the average gap (in episodes) between crew members joining the Strawhats?

Second question: being that theirs been such a break since members last joined, when they finally get their shipwright, do you think we could get a couple characters in quick succession like the start of the series?

Third question: who would you say had the best entrance to the strawhats, i woudn't really say the arc's but more so the action, i.e. Sanji's realisation of what he could be and who Luffy was, not to mention his fight and then having to watch Luffy fight Kreig before ultimately saving Luffy, oh and all of this somewhere in there was Zoro vs Mihawk?

1. Going by when they first started sailing with Luffy (including Nami and Vivi), 17 episodes. Going by true members, 19.6. Though the animation doesn't really count there.

2. Maybe. After this arc the Straw Hats will be infamous, so they might have to gather up whoever pretty quickly.

3. I'll choose not to say until the current arc's over.

[StrawHatLuffy]

1. It's kinda irregular though. There is an increasing time interval between each new nakama.

2. I don' t think so. They have most of the people they need anyway/

3. I'm not sure I understand your question ^^;;

[NeoShweaty]

i think that they will be getting two more members, a shipwright and a musician and stick to luffy's original plan( i think that was all he wanted) or if we ever find out how many gol d. roger had, maybe he will inadvertantly copy him

1. it's irregular

2. i don't think so, the story has to progress because there are/we have a lot of plots to understand. if a new crewmember has to join, it will be in the middle of a big plot (i guess)

3. sanji. i love his departure and the "i owe you a hell of a lot" to zeff is one of this sentences that make my eyes wet each time i watch it.

1:it all depends on oda-san to decide eh? the first 4 were quick but after that, its PRETTY long.

2:no, i dun think so, their current crew power can be considered shichibukai standard ^^

3:the entry to the crew for each member is not spectacular actually. if you actually notice, they have a goal when they enter the crew. so, the entries are actually all the same ^^

[Roman Zaenom]

If I remember well :

• Zoro joined in episode 3
• Usopp in episode 17
• Sanji in episode 30
• Nami in episode 44
• Vivi in episode 67
• Chopper in episode 90
• Robin in episode 130

And we're currently more than 100 episodes after Robin joined… So, it's definitely irregular.

There's still a possibility both shipwright AND musician join in the W7 arc. I still believe Luffy should have his whole crew before crossing Red Line. So, we might have a shipwright in W7 and musician in the next arc.

Come on, when was the last time that Sanji actually looked at the ocean? or the last time that Zoro had a sword fight with a famous swordsman?

[thelousy]

sanji looks at the ocean all the time =X zoro juz fought t-bone who is well-known ^^

[sabret00the]

T-Bone, what ep's that?

and Sanji does? infact i aint heard Sanji mention All-blue since he left the restuarant.

[thelousy]

mate, if your talking about all-blue, pls be specific. I thought u were mentioning the ocean as in the SEA surrounding the GM.

T-bone is in the latest manga chapter.

Not sure how to reply to that first bit, my point being that the last time Sanji looked over the side of Going Merry and thought about All-Blue was like an eternity ago.

And from Zoro fighting what's his name in Arabasta to the current Chapter of the manga is like 200 chapters right, that's a long time in both cases.

[Buccaneer]

Actually, about 180 chapters, but I know what you mean there. But, Zoro's dream isn't to beat every swordsman he possibly can, just defeat Mihawk, the strongest. Of course, if he senses a challenge, he won't turn it down….

And though Sanji's a dreamer, he's not all that adventurous, looking at things in wonder. That'd be like Robin looking at a rock and thinking about the Rio Poneglyph.

[sabret00the]

On the Zoro thing surely no one just wakes up one day practices a few hours and then actually really beleives that they're about to beat the best in the world? you do these things in stages getting better and better as you go along, working your way to the top, the way of the ladder.

an old chinese proverb goes "the raindrop becomes a sea gradually, never does it become one over night. for tiny steps are immortal and giant steps are seldom seen".

and with Sanji i mean seriously even though he's not that adventurous with all the effort he puts into finding All-Blue, he's probably passed it 10 times over.

He's not climbing the ladder because he no longer sails for prey. If he encounters a swordsman, he'll fight. If not, he doesn't. All he can really do is train and take on challengers, because of that and the fact that he's already "felt" Mihawk.

All Blue is a special place, not just some random part of the sea with a bunch of fish.

What makes you think that? Sanji didn´t even made it to the end of the first part of the Grand Line yet and you already said that he passed it. Besides so far the Strawhats have never ever crossed the same route two times so that logic doesn´t work either.
Other then that, it is a given that Sanji will find All Blue before the manga reaches it´s end so I don´t get what the he´s not looking for it thing is all about.

If we go by that argument then I could also say that Luffy has passed One Piece ten times over. :P

What if by the end of the series, everyone in the strawhats get a bounty?
