Well fi it is really a time skip or we see them already escapes without Boa somewhere than I can't see it.
Like I said it would be shitty if she randomly pops up somewhere where Luffy is and say Hey Luffy I'm joining. I cleared all matters with the marines about my status and the safety of my island. So no problem.
If you would like such a joining please for me it is shitty^^
That would indeed be crappy. Which is why that is not how it would play out at all. Every single person that expects her to join (including me) don't think it will actually 'happen' till she has some revelation or a part of an arc dedicated to her (Fishman Island since part of her past deals with the most famous fishman pirate as well as the slave trade). However she can 'show up' into the story after a time skip by two different means, one she simply finds him and wants to follow him not even caring what happens (and lets face it, till the marines see her with him, they would be none the wiser of her intentions so the island would still be safe during this time) or two she is already with him after the time skip/ when he wakes up. She is clearly going to look for him after her most recent comments, the question is just when she will meet up with him, will it be before they sail off from Marineford or after.
If she doesn't lose her title, she can freely go look for Luffy, she can freely join up with him till the Marines contact her and give her an ultimatum to turn Luffy in. Remember this is the pirate empress that NEVER responded to the Marines calls till just recently, she never attended a single meeting after getting her status, and makes it clear she just doesn't care what they think of her for it, if she didn't lose her title for any of that, she won't lose it by talking with Luffy and being around him. As far as they are concerned what the shichibukai do is their business unless it directly attacks the marines/ WG in the process (Mihawk had a pleasant meeting with Shanks remember? And the marines are sure to have known that since they were watching both Shanks and Whitebeard like hawks when they got close to each other) Why didn't he get kicked out of the Shichibukai or get demanded to turn him or lose the position for that 'pleasant' chat. Unless a specific order is given to her to turn Luffy in, she can probably stay with him however long she wants. I do on the other hand see that order coming really quickly once they do get wind she isn't out right attacking Luffy and they see her with him.
Why isn't Iva in this poll? He has the same chances as Jimbei and Hancock to join imo
Each character can join if you have a good theory about his story.
Why isn't Iva in this poll? He has the same chances as Jimbei and Hancock to join imo
Because no one likes him that much.
Still saying that she has the highest chance and on the same line saying (Not you Retardia) that Jinbei hasn't is a bit silly.
Maybe Boa has more pros cuz of her character with all this silly jokes… but story-wise he is miles away now or Oda has to do AL arc once again or use some silly plot with cleared matters.
Jinbei why character wise not as far as Boa has still time to shine in FI (Sorry that he wasn't a joking character in a FRWAKING WAR) and has still a story with Luffy and probably in FI.
And while Jinbei has signs that he will stay on the story ahead, nothing assures us of the chance of him joining. He may still have a part to play, but then give the Strawhats a farewell after Fishman Island.
That's why I put the personality quirks so high when I defend Hancock. Jinbei seems more like a plot device than a character right now.
Like always, I'll say this: he may join; his personality may be further developed, but I'm judging by what we have seen so far.
I think Aikanu is going to join!:ninja:
Why isn't Iva in this poll? He has the same chances as Jimbei and Hancock to join imo
16 characters of agreed. :devil:
I have read like 30 pages of this topic and I must say…this topic is full of epicness. Also, I think that Jinbei, Hancock, Perona, Crocodile, Mr.3 or whatever other character will NOT be in the strawhat crew. The only ones who have a high chance (even though I know none of the will end up on the SH's) are Hancock and Jinbei. They may stay a while with Luffy, but that's just it.
Akainu And BB for next nakama
Why isn't Iva in this poll? He has the same chances as Jimbei and Hancock to join imo
no he doesn't…cause ...i ...say ...so...??
i just dont like him
Don't need it… Feel free to wear it when it happens!!
Magellan should join =D
(Not)
Unless I'm mistaken, SA and Marineford are nowhere near one another. Hancock mentions it taking a week to get to SA and only a few days to reach ID. ID has access to Marineford via the Gates of Justice (as well as to EL).
I see (on more discussions than this one) people confusing Marineford (which is Marine HQ) and Mariejois (which is WG HQ). Unless I'm mistaken, the two are not the same place. So to say it's near SA is untrue unless I've missed it somewhere.
On that note, I like most people really see Hancock and possibly Jinbei joining up. I also expect the Revolutionaries (via Iva's connection to Dragon) helping with reassembling the crew.

You are mistaken on both accounts. SA is very close to Marineford, Marineford is like the gateway to Mariejoa, and Amazon Lily is I believe about five days away from Impel Down and more from SA and Marineford. Here is the map for your reference.
AL is like a week + away from SA and MF.
I thought it was just a week away, but why are we going over this anyways….does the distance of an island mean anything to who is going to join.....doubtful
Yes… It means Margaret is a week or more away ... That's what it means. Unless the SH crew steals a marine ship and does all this other crap...

(Flashback)
Ace: Jinbei… if I die like this, I'm sorry but can you take care of my bro?
Jinbei: I hate to say this, Ace... but you're overestimating me. I'm not that kind a person...
Even if he is your brother, this is a world of piracy.
The only one I would lend my hands to is the one I respect myself.
page 10
Akainu: Hand over the son of Dragon... Jinbei
Jinbei: I can't do that. I've vowed to protect this man with my life!
Akainu: Fine then... I won't ask you ever again
In honor of Ace Jinbei will join^^
Well in my eyes even more likely now^^
My vote goes to Hancock:
1. She's completely infatuated with Luffy
2. Another female character is preferred
3. Able fighter and possible Haki teacher to Luffy
4. Has aided Luffy against the Marines during the War
My theory of how it could go down. The WG intelligence agents (Cipher Pols) are incredibly resourceful and will more than likely match the time of Hancocks arrival at Impel Down, her odd behavior on the ship, and Luffys intrusion. They will place the blame of Luffys presence at the prison and the war on her and remove her from the Shichibukai. Since she looses her status, the WG doesnt need to uphold their agreement and Buster Calls the shit out of Amazon Lily. Hancock, with no family or island to return to becomes a nakama of the Strawhat Pirates. Its a really harsh theory, and for Hancocks sake I hope it doesnt come to pass, but its very likely to happen. Plus, Oda is still not showing us all of what the Mero Mero no mi can do so I expect he's saving abilities to display in the future.
Jimbei's dream is to keep every fishman and merfolk safe and gain equal rights for them. It would be against what little personality he has to go out of his way and babysit Luffy.
The best bet is that ANOTHER fishman with a traveling-related dream, who is close to Jimbei understand his resolve and ask Jimbei to let him take care of Luffy in his stead.

And no, I don't think this is going to happen. Why? It would be the same as Robin her past. Which isn't cool.
How Hancock would join, I don't know. If I have to say about Margueritte:
After a time skip. Luffy is @ Dragon's Place. There he learns of everything that happend. Whitebeard dying. Ace's body with the marines. Hearing that Amazone Lily has been destroyed. And her people were captured. Upon hearing this he goes to Amazone Lily where he finds Margueritte. Who wants to save everyone.
This could happen with both the Crew complete or not.. Dunno… to much things coudl happen and it's fucking oda ¬¬
EDIT:
The one who said something about Jinbei can't join because of the Captain issue..
We have Brook who also was a captain, that of the Rumba Pirates. The only difference is that we know all the Rumba Pirates are death. And we don't know if Jinbei has a crew.
Even if people are going to point my point away xD. We have Franky who was a leader of "maffia" like gang. And we have Robin who was Vice-President of a criminal organisation.
Heck the only ones who didnt really had a high function in a organisation where Zoro and Chopper.
Sanji was the Second-Chef of Baratie
Nami, even if she didn't like it, Chief of Staff of the Arlong Pirates
Look at it this way, the chances of both Hancock and Jinbei rise. Both are Schichibukai. Hancock also being an Empress. That's quit a feature non?
VERY BAD POLL!!!!! You could involve some other characters such as Mr.3, Perona, Ivankon and others….
After this chapter, I am highly under the impression Jinbei is going to join. I don't know if I like this idea, though, I still think he is too boring for the SH (he is cool and all, but boring).
But, well, Mr.2 gave me a much stronger feeling and we all know what happened to him.
Maybe being with the SH's will loosen him up.

Please tell me where do you have this from… Chapter, SBS or whatever^^
Still after this chapter and the Ace flashback thing I think even more... he is in
And once again... He was in a freaking war... Even Luffy hasn't shown much if any comedy scenes. Same for Garp or Ace.
Maybe being with the SH's will loosen him up.
Maybe not having to worry about the death of a close friend (Ace), hero, and mentor (Whitebeard), and ultimate chaos for your homeland and various other nations under Whitebeard's protection will loosen him up. Or Luffy and the Strawhats too. Robin was very similar to Jinbei in my opinion before she joined, and she has certainly opened up a lot more. She had her dark humor before, true, but now she is much more open and friendly. With the changes we have seen in people like Mr. 3, why does anyone doubt that Oda can give a character more development? Especially when said character has had very little room to show their personality?
You guys…
! Jinbei will join.
Jinbei is the ninth Straw Hat… :happy: and Boa Hancock is no where to be found. :cwy:
If Jinbei joins, idk what interactions would he have with the crew, and hes so boring it hurts…. No to Jinbei/Boa/Perona.
Plz let Oda invent a new concept for a crewm8 ;(

Once again… he can evolve his character in FI and in some time of peace. He is in a freaking war what did you expect. He would do some comedy stuff?
Did Luffy did some? Garp or Ace?

still hoping that Boa will appear with a getaway ship taking Jimbei and Luffy out of there
Get these stupid ideas out of your head.
Oda has spent 450 chapters + 9 movies developing the monster trio hierarchy.
People like Jimbei or Mancock who threaten that hierarchy are not joining.
Talk about people who actually have a chance of joining for a change.

I didn't say it was because he was a leader or captain, I said it was because of his strength. No matter who joins the crew, none of them are at Luffys level of strength. The closest in strength to Luffy are Sanji and Zoro. Imagine if a new crewmember was added who was even stronger than both of them or even stronger than Luffy. Thats basically what would happen if Jinbei joined. I believe Jinbei is going to protect Luffy with his life, I do not believe he is going to join.
Also, Hancock has more crewmember qualities than anyone else so far. She has the tragic past going for her that every crewmember has had, and theres also the a reason for her to join if her "Love Sickness" persists. But no matter what, I see Amazon Lily being destroyed in the future. The other possibility is that the Kuja pirates manage to escape but loose their home and most of their island dwelling friends and family
Look at that stupid poll and tell me I'm the one who's ignoring possibilities.
I gotta agree, theres really only 2 or 3 possible crewmembers and the rest are just jokes. Really not good for a serious discussion thread
Well, this chapter certainly gave team Jinbei a lot of points, lol.
Look at that stupid poll and tell me I'm the one who's ignoring possibilities.
Heh, I mean sure this poll may not be the most fair, or commonly "right" but… yea I rest my case.
Wait what Jinbei said(usually says) actually works in favor for him now? lulz
Well, this chapter certainly gave team Jinbei a lot of points, lol.
well i'm still voting for spandams shoes
no but really i think jinbeis next crew member after this chapter otherwise oda just wanted to fuck with us

The flashback, for those who can't figure it out.

I dont like the basis for joining simply being for "protection" Every other member has joined because they honestly believe that following Luffy will allow them to accomplish their dream and goals and because of this they support Luffy in his own dreams and goals. I understand that "Protect Ace" is Ace's dying request to Jinbei but its not something that will cause him to follow Luffy for the rest of his life. Whitebeard kept his home safe from pirates and slavers and even then he didnt officially join the WB pirates. He is an ally of Luffy and the Strawhats and that is all. The way Aces dying wish should be interpreted is that he will make sure Luffy is kept alive through out the war and until they escape
Once again… he can evolve his character in FI and in some time of peace. He is in a freaking war what did you expect. He would do some comedy stuff? Did Luffy did some? Garp or Ace?
Luffy actually did. Gomu Gomu Scapegoat, and a few other things, I think. I think Oda wanted us to take Jinbei serious though. Jinbei admits he isn't friendly towards other pirates, and is adamantly opposed to this war, so if he was goofy or cracked jokes then we couldn't take him seriously. Especially considering Luffy had to earn his respect. How could we buy Jinbei "respecting" Luffy if he wasn't serious about his own beliefs? I know people don't like his character so far, and they think he is boring, but we have to think like the author. What was the purpose of all these scenes about Jinbei's trust issues, his hating pirates, his honor, his willingness to put his life on the line for something, his desire to protect, his regret for Arlong, his acknowledged debt and gratitude for being released from prison, his shock at Luffy making it to level 6, etc, etc. Oda was character building with all of this. It might be uninteresting right now, but especially as a fishman, people expected Jinbei to hate humans. Now Oda is showing us Jinbei has a growing respect and debt for Luffy, which we have to assume is happening for a reason. I'm sure I am not alone in thinking this reason is that he will eventually join the crew, but I keep the door open for other possibilities as well.
Point is, we cannot simply write off these scenes as boring or uninteresting, as they are vital to his character. There will be plenty of time for other character development after the war is over.
I got out of my chair smiling while reading this new chapter. I'm even more anxious to see Jimbei join, because I know it will happen :D
It's still a waiting game for Jinbei… You can't assume he joins when he isn't in such a position yet, we're still bound to be surprised by how Oda decides to have Luffy head to Rayleigh, if he does.
Mister 3 wasn't shown following Buggy.
And he he has been helping Luffy more and more.
And since he doesn't threaten the monster trio he's a favorite to join right now.
Marguerite would be another one. She knows haki, she has the Hancock connection and won't threaten the monster trio.
The fact those two at least (let's not talk about Perona for this thread's sanity) are not in this poll is a fucking shame.
Why people want the likes of Jimbei and Hancock to fight the strawhats' battles for them is beyond me.
Jimbei joining to protect Luffy… Yeeeeeahhh no. Train him, more likely (during the time skip?). :ninja:
