now we can start fighting who will be next XD
XD, I go for something weird like a will O the wisp or a ginger bred man
-
And so the debate over who will be the next crewmate is finally dieing the death it deserved (especially since Jinbe's been pretty obvious for quite a while). But worry not that the stupid shall end as soon it shall be time for the next and final crewmate debates. So many stupid arguement based entirely in fanfiction shall be born. Will we get a new AGOG? Will Bonney become the flagship fanfic choice for the next thread? We shall find out soon
-
Damn. You know I was actually kind of rooting against Jinbei joining. I guess it's 'cause it's kind of a cliche to have the veteran join up last, if he is the last, that is. Anyways, much respect to those who made the giant Jinbei posts oh-so-long ago. You know who you are.
-
Man if Bonney joins, I think One Piece just found her Mugiwara Tsundere, but I digress. Shift, I proclaim you leader of us Jinbe supporters.
-
To me is clear, he will say no, but in the end he will join. Like always.

Edit: I will love to see the reactions of the people when they hear a former warlord joined the crew. This will be great and I know we will get it, Oda loves reaction panels.
Yeah, I´m looking forward to those panles as well
-
Shift is hardly the leader. I'd give that credit to Brennen or Urogue, who've been at the head of the arguement for much longer and who pretty much pioneered the logic behind his joining
-
See Crocodynes avatar? I can't wait until Jinbei bursts out with another smile like that! Won't be long until the party that's for sure!
Who do you all think he'll be closest with? Granted they each love each other, but we see how Usopp and Franky share some chemistry or Robin and Nami. I bet it will be Zoro and Nami, or maybe Franky?

It was Urogue for me, I think as far back Luffy's break down. But I remember one thing that really got me from his argument. Arguing about power and knowledge of the world he said something to the affect of "Jinbei is nothing but weakness" and that squashed all arguments for me when I really thought about it.
I debated this with a group of people at a convention, they could accept nothing beyond "he is staying at FI." Would barely hear me out, I'd love to see their faces now. That fat slob.
-
…So the long nakamate debate will probably reach a high point next chapter, right?
As I voted "none of them", I want to congratulate all the pro-Jinbe supporters. I was wrong, you guys were right.
-
Cool. Now we just wait to see if Jimbe accepts :)
Personally, I don't mind Jimbe. I like him. If he joins that would be cool, but I'm ok if he does not either. Guess we will see next chapter.
As in any situation.. don't count your chickens before they hatch ;) we still got another chapter
-
Still of the firm belief that he won't join. And that's my hope, as well.
-
Yay Jimbe got an offer to join. Him joining makes the Impel Down and Marineford arcs more interesting. Luffy did have one of his nakama with him (though not official at the time). And I said this many pages before, but I remember how when the rest of the straw hats heard that Ace had died in Luffy's arms, they were agonizing that they couldn't be with him. Yet Jimbe was with him, so Luffy did have one of his nakama with him during that dark time.
Someone asked who he would have chemistry with on the crew? What about Robin? And not just because of the ladies man comment, but I could see their personalities meshing well. Or Sanji after they both fought their battle together? Though I think a friendship between him and Nami would be really sweet.

A while ago I was thinking the exact same thing. Despite not having any members with him, he really did. Gonna go back and look through Impel Down and the war again. Luffy just releasing him from prison now carries so much more weight.
-
If Jinbe says no, Luffy will just hunt him down until he agrees. Just like Chopper and Franky.
Luffy also asked Gaimon and he said no.
If someone Luffy ask's doesn't have a good reason to refuse, then he will chase them down. So next week we will find out if Jimbei accepts and if no, if he has a good enough reason for Luffy to accept it and leave as is.

And I understand your feelings, because in the italian forum I'm used to post ALL the other users are into Denial phase. Hopefully whitin a week they'll pass at the next phase: Rage phase. -

Not to mention the fact that this is TS Luffy who might have just wizened up a smidgeon when it came to obligations.
-
except that Gaimon was never a serious candidate, and Oda's been setting up Jinbe to join for such a long time
-
The SH's needed someone with any experience in the NW. Jimbei just so happens to be to perfect choice. Oda is going to use him for so many purposes that having him as a crew member is almost required.
-
I joined that bandwagon just in time.
-
Can this thread get to 1000 pages before Jimbe officially accepts?
Do you think he will accept immediately or will he say no, we'll get a flash back, some exposition, and then he'll choose to join?
-

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there isn't any proof that Jinbei's actually been to the NW is there? I couldn't find any reference myself and I've seen this argument a lot.
-

Well, most people who Luffy offers an invitation to join his crew take some convincing. Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Chopper, Robin (Enies Lobby), and Franky all hesitated at first. Only Usopp and Brook accepted right away, and even they had moments when it was uncertain if they would rejoin. The only 3 people to turn Luffy down were Vivi, Dr. Kureha, and Gaimon. It is extremely likely he'll accept, but there is still always a chance he won't.
I'd say the odds are:
88% he'll join
12% he won't join -
@Lazy:
And someone said that Jinbe supporters wouldn't be all 'up in your face' with their victory.
I think he's in because Oda wouldn't troll us, but now I really really want him to not join just to troll us.
Do you remember at the time me saying that Shift would probably do that xD? because on top of being right, he was a huge fan of Jinbe?
Btw saying yes we are right is not sticking in anyone face…I was happy I was rigth, you haven't been here from the start, this shit has been going on since Impel Down years of discussion lol, its rewarding that it ends and people are actually right.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
now we can start fighting who will be next XD
No we don't have to go into retard land again, wait for the next arc and see the story develop and if someone is a candidate.
I see next arc starting X char for nakama, Y char for nakama, etc starting, just like with Caribou, Hody, Hachi, Shiraoshi, etc…
Wait for actual hints instead of going for looks or for boobs and making a fool of yourselves again(yes next week Oda can troll us and do something bad to the story and you guys are still fools for the other options).
Please stop talking about Bonney guys seriously...there is a big reason she will never join, her devil fruit is one of the most broken devil fruit powers in the series worse(people say that about Robin but this is 10/20x worse imo) if she actually gets hinted in a future arc talk about it but with her devil fruit I think Oda will not want to touch that for a while, also the Supernovas were made on for the Sabaody arc at the time, Oda already had an ideal crew though and joining methods before he even created them, this still is not a reason for her not to join but there are NO reasons for her to join right now.
Also the thread is about the current nakama not the next, there will be a thread for that.
-
Yeah. Even with Jinbe joining, I still don't see this thread quite ending. Was there ever a confirmation of how many more crewmates there would be?
Also, I think 'Being in your face' to people who voted 'none of the above' is kind of unfair considering the time the thread was actually started and now. I'd probably respect those guys more than those who voted Jinbe in the last six months or so when it was extremely obvious.
-

Like i said in my post this thread is to discuss this crewmate not the next ones, when its 100% confirmed it will be closed.
Who do you all think he'll be closest with? Granted they each love each other, but we see how Usopp and Franky share some chemistry or Robin and Nami. I bet it will be Zoro and Nami, or maybe Franky?
I would say the same, Nami and Luffy mainly, Zoro too because looking at both characters it seems like they click with each other.
I woudl actually like to see him be close with Zoro and Sanji and try to stop their fights, even if he loses his own life then Brook comes in and says he will help him even though he is already dead(lame joke is lame).
-
Like i said in my post this thread is to discuss this crewmate not the next ones, when its 100% confirmed it will be closed.
Well, it's not like there wasn't a next nakamate thread before focusing on Jinbe and the others. Of course, since this'll be a final end, I agree that this one should be closed for this topic and celebration, and another one be opened. There's going to be discussion of it no matter what, and I'd rather have it focused on one topic, then constantly being in the chapter threads.
-
I believe when Franky and Brook joined both thread got closed(I wasn't here before so I don't know about the rest) so its the normal procedure.
Other threads have been closed because they reached the post limit I believe.
Still of the firm belief that he won't join. And that's my hope, as well.
You just hope its not really your belief, I kinda find insulting that after that amazing scene even if someone doesn't like Jinbe doesn't want him to join and wouldn't be pissed at Oda if he doesn't.
-
Yeah, I picked none of the above, because at the time I didn't see any of them joining. That changed later on, and I feel like I was starting to side with the pro-jinbe guys before most other people who did did
-

Haha I don't mind, if it was the other way round I don't think I'd be so gracious. It looks like I was wrong, although I'm never one to call it finished until the fat lady [fishman] sings.
-
So we're pretty much treating Jimbei as a done deal, right? If so I'd like to ask how people liked his recruitment compared to that of previous crewmembers. For me, I'd have to say it was the best single moment of the Fishman Island arc and post-timeskip in general. The best since Whitebeard's death, possibly. Just wow. So heartwarming even after this arc having had its fair share of disappointment for me. C&P from NF: the scene was incredibly touching despite this arc having disappointed me at many points. That big-ass grin, the context of what was going down and Luffy after all this time and all the crap they've been through together finally asking Jimbei, as they're in the midst of writing history, to be his crewmate with his face practically one big smile was better than I could've imagined. 10/10, Oda.
-
Well this thread is called last TWO nakamates.
-
Well this thread is called last TWO nakamates.
Ah. I guess that answers my question.
So I guess the next one will be 'Last nakamate'.
-
Seriously, this spread is so fucking beautiful, there's no way he won't join. Oda's art this chapter was outstanding.
-
I'm afraid that despite Oda suggesting more than one new nakama, Jinbe may be the last one…

Well said buddy… Well said..
On another note:
I couldn't be more ecstatic, that it wasn't Perona!
Imagining an adventure with that laugh alone, would have been proper reasons, for stop watching the anime and only read the manga. -

I think the cast was big enough already , although if Jinbe joins I see another one joining, just for the whole BB pirates thing.
-
Jinbe has done quite a lot for Luffy, I don't understand why anybody would have anything against him joining.
EDIT: And I had that sitting for an hour before actually posting.
I agree with someone above that this recruitment was one of the best. I found it very heartwarming when Luffy finally asked him to join. I was even a little teary. Either this or Brook's recruitment was my favorite. Can't wait to see it in the anime.
-
You just hope its not really your belief, I kinda find insulting that after that amazing scene even if someone doesn't like Jinbe doesn't want him to join and wouldn't be pissed at Oda if he doesn't.
I honestly find the character boring and would rather have him written out of the story at this point in time. Having him around since Impel Down has felt like a chore at times.

You're a doll, Jet, but yeah, I do have to give credit where it's due; brennen and Urogue were advocating him well before he even entered the story, and I only really started seeing it once they got out of Impel Down.
Buuut, first-division commander has a nice ring to it… >:D
I'm afraid that despite Oda suggesting more than one new nakama, Jinbe may be the last one…
Why? I'm sure he's planning one more, what with Luffy always saying 10's a good number, and we'll soon officially be at "The Ninth". Plus, I'm reasonably sure it'll be a girl like everyone wanted.
-
Brennen and Urouge indeed were the first to make the Jinbei as NN argument, but who was the first to give him his own personal jolly roger?
-
So that's that.
-
This post is deleted!
-
A chapter ago there was hope that a new character would appear at the dojo and join. Hope delightfully shattered.
-

I've been saying that. Now, they match up perfectly with the BB pirates and even Shanks' crew. If they were to pick up another, it would throw things out of balance. Besides, I've always felt that they SHs should be complete BEFORE going into the new world since that's officially the start of part 2 (as that would allow all of part 2 to be dedicated to their adventures as a whole). Still, Luffy said he wanted at least 10 and Brook was considered the 8th, so unless he's counting people like Vivi, there's a chance we'll get one more (likely a female), but I wouldn't be sad if Jinbe was the last.
-
People always forget Carue when saying stuff like that, poor duck.
-
Well I couldn't be happier. I wasn't the most avid supporter due to my own disdain of this thread but I gotta give credit to Urogue and the others' persistence.
Also didn't Oda reveal that there would be a crew member joining in the New World in Databook: Green, it should be relatively soon if that is the case so that this member seems like part of the team by the end.

The next chapter title should be called "The Ninth"

Don't let Alinajames read that. Based on his analysis, he can't believe that Jinbei can fight San Juan Wolf-v-;;.
-

Or to really piss people off, "The Final" or "The Last."

I already got a preview of what she thinks about that in another thread lol! My guess is, San Juan's used to being in the water (they don't call him the colossal battleship for nothing) and he'd put up a pretty decent fight.

Even before Jinbei was Shown in the Manga you predicted his Joining with Great Evidence and Reasoning.
