If Hancock or Jimbei is going to join the Straw Hats (which I personally don't buy), it has to wait until Luffy has become stronger. Since Luffy will always be the strongest in the Straw Hats, and right now, both Hancock and Jimbei could kick his ass with their hands and feets tied.

Monster Trio era is over now. It's the time of Monster Quint.!
-
Boa is obviously the ninth, it has been foreshadowed already. (past, odd personality, nine snake flag, love-sickness) Now the question is, will there be a tenth?
Obvious is that Jimbei will join (few last chapters) the question is whether he will be ninth or tenth. In my opinion Boa still has 50/50 chance joining strawhat (of course i want her join)
-
i don't have any ojections to Jimbei and definitely wan hancock to join. jimbei seems kind of plain to me. but robin isn't that energetic now is she so i guess a yes

"Plain" is more of a diplomatic way to say Jimbei is boring, and he is. I'd prefer a character that needs some character development and isn't already joining as the perfect Strawhat material.
-
Boa's fate is pretty obvious to me after this last chapter: she's another of those pursuers constantly on Luffy's trail, doomed to never hold him in one place for long. Only instead of wanting to kill or capture him, she's out for love. Does that sickness she has specifically mean she has to be with the man she loves, or is the thrill of the chase good enough to keep it at bay?
-

Heh, even Robin has her morbid sense of humor and likes to watch her crewmates get goofy with a big smile in the face. Jinbei so far seens boring, indeed, but we don't know a lot about him yet, and the war setting has no allowed him to show a lof of himself. (However, some may point that Ivankov had more gags and personality quirks, and he had almost the same exposure as Jinbei).
Now to add some silliness to this thread, I found by accident a small scene in One Piece that some may think is foreshadowing Hancock joining. Remember that Nami personified Robin while trying some new clothes in Logue Town? Well, she's personifying Hancock in this small scene in Thriller Bark! (Not that I believe in such things. Most often, you can only reckognize foreshadowing after the foreshadowed event happens. Oda could just be screwing around in that panel.)
-
Is Ace still going to be revived AGOG?
Even after the body's been handed over to Shanks for burial?
Truly the insight you have into Oda's mind is a wonder to behold.
-
I feel that the crew doesn't need another calm/rational member like Jimbei, mostly because that's one of Robin's major traits. A few posts back (I would scroll back but my Wii would make things frustrating), someone mentioned personality traits, and I agree that the crew's next members can be dictated by personality, though I'm not so sure that this really eliminates anyone but Jimbei, whose full personality we have yet to hold witness to.
Missing shonen manga stereotypes in the Straw Hat crew:
Bishie (Yumichika from Bleach)
Klutz (Dino from Katekyo Hitman Reborn)
Lovesick Girl (Hinata from Naruto)
Tsundere (Erza from Fairy Tail)
Ditz (Orihime from Bleach)
Reluctant Ally (Vegeta from Dragonball)
Spoiled Brat (Lambo from Katekyo Hitman Reborn)Hancock is quite literally lovesick and Perona is obviously quite the spoiled brat. Ace was the bishie, but he's dead. Crocodile could be a surprise Vegeta. That leaves the Tsundere, Ditz, and Klutz positions still open, though I think they could be filled in by Hancock, Camie, and Perona respectively if one of those three joins the crew.
So in the end, it's just some fun, unbiased analysis. Oda tends to do the exact opposite of the expected, though. Patterns are for noobs…oh wait.
-
the only thing i would like about Jinbei joining are his hilarious "HM?!"'s and surprised faces.
-

(However, some may point that Ivankov had more gags and personality quirks, and he had almost the same exposure as Jinbei).
I'd agree that Jimbei hasn't been given much opportunity to show more about himself, and that's kinda been a trait among the more normally serious characters. Robin certainly didn't show that much about her personality before she joined, especially not her morbid sense of humor. Nami didn't show that true love of money beyond necessity until after she was free of Arlong, and now it's one of her funniest traits. And Zoro certainly didn't have much to show for before he join, what with being tried to a cross and starved and all (which oddly mirrors Jimbei's own initial captivity.) It's always been the especially goofy characters who show off their bag of tics at the onset, whether they join the crew or not.

Sounds like a bunch of excuses to hope that Jimbei somehow changes his personality to become more interesting. I don't see how he's going to change, not like he has any traits that really need to be changed, it's not like he's showing any selfish/evil side of himself, he's a good person, just a dull one. He probably has a nice deep past, but that past coming to the forefront doesn't have to change anything about him, there really isn't any inherently wrong with who he is. He's honorable, passionate, and obviously protects those he cares about with his life. He's boring, and does he really need any development? I enjoy Franky and Brook, but they are the same boat, the only thing that they need to develop is their power, but their characters perfectly fit the Strawhat pirates. I would just prefer someone that won't jump right onto the ship and be another piece to the puzzle. I'd rather someone that joins with a bit of a struggle in how they mold into the crew.
Now to add some silliness to this thread, I found by accident a small scene in One Piece that some may think is foreshadowing Hancock joining.

Most often, you can only reckognize foreshadowing after the foreshadowed event happens. Oda could just be screwing around in that panel.)
I'd prefer Hancock over Jimbei, but it seems to be less and less likely as each chapter comes out. Her taking that marine ship gave her the perfect way home after she meets Luffy again, and she's still trying to protect her title (So, it isn't a foregone conclusion that she's going to lose it, otherwise there was no need for Oda to put that line in, since she never cared before).
-
Not that I'm advocating Jinbei joining, but to be fair, Zoro and Robin didn't really have much personality until after they joined.

Zoro had like five lines and Robin was an antagonist. Jimbei has had a bunch of lines and has been fighting alongside Luffy, but his personality is still tragically underdeveloped.

That's exactly what I said a couple of posts ago! Great minds, eh?@Get_It_Memorized:

He's been running around almost nonstop since we met him; he hasn't been given much of a chance to wax nostalgic about much else than Ace and WB up to this point. Whether we see him on the sub or after a timeskip, I'm sure we'll get something new from him.
-
AGOG! Jinbei is submarining with Luffy while Boa Hancock is stalking Luffy… what's going to happen?!
Where's Perona!?! D8<Is Jinbei and Hancock going to share the 9th Straw Hat position while Perona gets nothing?!?!?
-
Is Jinbei and Hancock going to share the 9th Straw Hat position while Perona gets nothing?!?!?
Hancock will be join on the post-war arc. So she will be the ninth.
While Jimbei can join after the end of FI arc.Perona has a chance. She will be a good addition. On Buggy crew.:ninja:

Talking about possible next crew member, we might be able cut out a lot, Baggy, Mr.3, Crocodile, and whatever. They were left at Marie Ford, while Luffy was taken away with Law. Now I see the favourite are Jimbei and Boa Hancock. Jimbei tried his best to protect Luffy and he is the one who is stay closest to Luffy. Boa Hancock suddenly went after Luffy as soon as he left the island, yet it remains unpredictable if she can manage to see Luffy again in time. Jimbei looks more possible, and he seems to have something unexposed about Arlong.
It would be prefect if they both can join but I know it is hard to see such a thing.

Well if both are joining I really want to see how Oda will use Sanji in the future. Zoro will always be the 2nd strongest in the crew but Sanji… dunno. he has this rivality with Zoro and the whole monster trio is ongoing for 500 chapters now. but I can't see Oda keeping that monster trio dynamic and downgrading Jinbei and Boa like he did With Franky and Robin.
If Jinbei and/or Boa joins it seems like Sanji fans like me has to live with the fact that he will be pushed more in the backround for big fights cuz i can't see Jinbei getting just the 4th or 5th strognest opponent of an arc.
But we have to wait

Don't worry man. Sanji is always be the third strongest even with Boa or Jimbei in the crew.
While Sanji can take the third strongest fighter then Jimbei or Hancock just can take the forth and the fifth.This is the new era of Monster Quint.! No more Monster Trio.
Most of NW Pirates seems have more than 5 main fighter on the crew.
The simple example is RH Pirates.BB Pirates also have Shiryuu, Basco, Avaro, Devon, and SJW as their main monster.

Well I doubt that Sanji can become stronger than Jinbei but who cares. as long as the rivaly will be intact it is OK for me.
But really man. I can see a bad-ass spread like we have it from time to time of the monster trio with fat Jinbei and Boa in it xD
-
I'd be ok with Hancock eternally on the chase, as long as we get to see more humor with her lovesickness. I still laugh everytime I watch those daydreams.

Gah. Don't over doubt something.
Sanji and Zoro even not mastered Haki yet.They will grow super badass. And pass those Jimbei and Boa.
Just imagine them grow like the spread of RH pirates if time skip happen.
Jimbei and Boa is will bit toned down with grow of Zoro and Sanji.
Its the time of The Trio to becoming The Quint. -
We will need to see how far Zoro and Sanji can develop themselves. I agree, there could be five main spearheads for the New World. It sounds sensible.

But I'm a bit afraid of Boa in that… I hope Oda won't downgrade her as he has done with robin and Franky, whi at the beginning where shown as upper powerful and near or above monster trio level.
And like I said I can't imagine Boa ir even Jinbei in the bad-ass monster trio spreads. Jinbei maybe behind them as powerful big fat monster but Boa.... hmm. Oda will suprise me
-
[hide][/hide]
You can also say that he is like Usopp…. every day he comes running yelling Pirates are coming... which is just a lie and we all go out of our houses and start following him.

What monster trio ?
It's all in your head.
What ? Boa and Jimbei stronger then Sanji ? Surely you jest.
And Franky, Chopper, Usopp, Nami ? Never heard of them. Who gives a shit about their character devoloment ? It's Hancock and Jimbei's time, baby.
Hee Haw!!!!!!!!!!! -
Yeah let's have Jimbei AND Hancock babysit the future Pirate King for the rest of his journey.
Makes sense. -
no, it don't makes any sense at all.

Hee Haw!!!!!!!!!!!Why is the monster trio only in his head if Oda keeps showing they really are the "monster trio", most recent prove was in shabaody when Luffy sent Sanji with a group, Zoro with the other and he went with third one.
Truth his until now they were in fact the "monster trio" and i believe if Jimbei or Boa join Sanji and Zoro(Luffy also ofc) will eventually get stronger then them and get their position back as the 3 strongest, just wait and see now the war as ended we should get some developments on this soon or even for the Perona fans if Zoro and other SHs storys get more chapters in the coming weeks.
-
But they're not going to join.
-
I can see Boa and Jimbei join for awhile like maybe 2 adventures and then take their seperate paths.
-
Somehow. I just feel Jimbei and Boa is will stuck or just growing a bit with their current ability. We'll just see another attack of them that they already learned. And the rest of the SH will massively grow until have a purely new bad ass ability.
Oh wait. We just talk like the two already join. :ninja:
-
@AdmiralYonkouMt.Bandit:
But they're not going to join.
I have the same opinion, just giving my opinion if it actually happens.
-
Why is everyone still grouping Boa and Jimbei together?
-
Why is everyone still grouping Boa and Jimbei together?
Yeah I still can't see the BOTH joining. Would be the same if Paulie and Franky had join or Vivi and Robin. Dunno why but Boa has chances now once again even if I can't see her joining for sure cuz AL. But I won't repeat that again
-
franky/paulie are quite similar though compared to jimbei/boa. those two are way different.
but rereading this chapter i would not be surprised at all if both join. I mean this whole ordeal has happened and htose two have been helping luffy nonstop, adn now the war is over and Jimbei happens to be with luffy in his escape, and Boa is rushing after him. Out of ALL the people Luffy met at impel down, befriended, allied with and then same at marineford the only TWO that are going to be with him now are those 2.
not even ivankov or inazumi whom seemed to be wanting to make sure 1000% that luffy made it out safe are with him anymore, and Oda didn't make a point to show them trying to follow either, only Boa.
I wouldn't mind that at all, adding Boa Hancock and Jimbei to the crew. I was always thinking since met either of them that it would be super cool to have a shichibukai join the crew. I mean how unprecidented is that. A shichibukai, feared by all, seems to hate pirates and marines alike, hated by both for being a pirates and being a government dog, ect. And from what we seen seem to be very self centered and think they are the shit, adn then to have one join a pirate crew. That would be HUGE NEWS to the world.
and then imagine if not just ONE, but TWO join the same crew. If were lucky we may even get Sengoku to show us an enel face.
-
I will bet my entire crew that neither joins.
-
Fans of "Hancock AND Jinbei". Facepalm IS coming.
-
I bet only 1 of them will join. 2 would be overkill and too much. Franky and Brook need some screentime as well and with 2 additional joinings it would be hard.
And I rather would like to see someone from the NW to join. It would suck knowing that no one will join there if the crew is completed now.
Still saying Jinbei cuz of Boa and AL.
-
I will bet my entire crew that neither joins.
O.O Oi oi.. Captain!
What if Oda decides to go the wtf route?
Althou highly unlikely…
Nevermind. Carry on sir.
-
Hancock and AL.
Jinbei and FI.Really, what's the difference in terms of joining? I'm asking, not questioning.
-
Hancock and AL.
Jinbei and FI.Really, what's the difference in terms of joining? I'm asking, not questioning.
just selective reasoning. It fits a persons argument better to ignore things.
I mean they argue to the death in how Hancock can't join because she would be killing her island, yet Jimbei is free to join. Pretty sure he would want to stay and protect his island as well. That was why he was so dead set on helping and dying for WB in this war.
and NO, don't give a shit what any of you say, there is no way that Luffy proclaiming fishman island his will protect it like WB. so don't bring that up, by saying we re going to fishman island and they will save it, but we can't go to amazon lily cause thats backwards.
and then funny how so many think that hancock is this total heartless bitch, and before luffy she was fully ready to ignore summons and lose title. Yet now you guys think that she will not do this to her country? loving the hypocrite arguments.

Didn't you have a one man crew? The Bloody Zik Pirates or something like that?

I've mentioned my one man crew in the past. Not much tho or the bloody part. I was thinking about expanding/starting one but I guess this bet will decide on that. If I lose I'll probably change my title to something like "Former, Last & Only member of the Zik pirates" and then I'll put my 7 swords up for sale.

This is what the counter arguments boil down to now days? Pretty sad.

This is what the counter arguments boil down to now days? Pretty sad.
i'm not sure what counter argument i'm saying. i'm fine with either, both or neither joining.
i just pointing out as person above me posted that if you bring up amazon lily as a reason that hancock can't join, then you can't ignore fishman island as a reason that jimbei can't join.
