@Sagippio:
Neat. Though I don't see you mentioning the pattern that says that GL mates (East Blue mates are all human and non-DF users) are of different "races" (reindeer, human, cyborg, skeleton, fishman?)… and the numbered DF theory.
! The numbered DF theory, which supports that Kinemon should be the next mate, and of which I'm a proponent. Kinemon is most certainly a human, though.
about the "races" stuff, yeah..im trying to find a theory about that too….though im not sure because it would seem like im reaching for too much if i included it. i also got this anoher theory about devil fruits of the crew.
EAST BLUE - zoro (no fruit) - nami (no fruit) - ussop (with fruit *im predicting he gets his weapon eat a STAG BEETLE FRUIT) - sanji (no fruit)
GRAND LINE - chopper (fruit) - robin (fruit) - franky (no fruit) - brook (fruit)
NEW WORLD - jinbe (no fruit) - tashigi (no fruit) - smoker (fruit) - LAST RECRUIT (no fruit)
see the pattern?
EAST BLUE ---(no fruit)---(no fruit---(fruit)------(no fruit)
GRAND LINE --(fruit)------(fruit)-----(no fruit)---(fruit)
NEW WORLD--(no fruit)---(no fruit)--(fruit)-------(no fruit)
i cant list since i am reaching TOO much LOL...first i assumed ussop would get his weapon eat a fruit and i assume tashigi and smoker would join.
about the numbered devil fruit theory....
it should be (nikyu-nikyu) owned by kuma, so that's impossible or (niku-niku) which means meat-meat fruit..LOL...that would be hilarious, luffy would definitely recruit a character with meat ability.
well, smoker fits the (ku) numbering....(moku-moku no mi).

@Strelok:
Not exactly NN related, but I would like to see what do you think about Kinemon's DF? Do you think it's Logia, Paramecia etc. Also about Monet's DF and Vergo's ability? :ninja:
kinemon's fruit in my opinion is the "kitsune (firefox) or tanuki (racoon)" mythical zoan fruit…which the abilities are shapeshifting (the person itself and others) and turning useless things such as stone and leaves into other stuffs.
so basically, kinemon's devils fruit might just as well be an upgrade of bon clay's ability (minus the memory copy ability)
another character chameleone is another upgrade of this ability...he can copy everything, including abilities.
i dont think vergo got an ability, just badass haki level and rokushiki mastery. but im wondering if he is a cyborg...he acts like one...
monet got the snow-snow fruit....i presume, first he trailed law without law knowing it and law did some fishy stuffy in the snowy side with luffy...when monet flies in the snow she doesnt get cold and she actually built a snow hut. her appearance might be her love for doflamingo, so she requested law to turn her into a bird,,...

@Kingdomkey:
Very impressive (first?) post beck. You did a good and original breakdown of the Straw Hat recruitment process and its parallels. Your argument about Jinbe joining is very good and has convinced me that he'll be the first New World crew-mate. On the subject of the second New World recruit who will be female, I reckon it will be Bonney and not Tashigi. Going with the criteria you made:
- Is against pirates in some way: Bonney has a grudge against the Straw Hat crew, promising at Sabaody that she would wipe them out if they met again in the New World for the incident at Sabaody (Luffy hitting Saint Charloss)
- She results in the Straw Hats fighting a powerful group: the division of the Marines/WG that is after her (I believe she has escaped Akainu and is in hiding due to her being depicted by Oda wearing a hood and peeking out of it).
- Lost her mother from island invaders: Say the WG heard of Bonney's powerful DF and then came looking for her at her island, Akainu or someone could have killed her mother in the process.
- She might be an outcast due to her unusual ability
- Bonney is a female version of Luffy personality wise, I think Luffy would like her a lot but she wouldn't like him, she would fit in well in the Straw Hats
thanks a lot man, what convinced me is the way they are introduced and the way the recruitment of the first three recruits of each world gone. they are always tied in the first scene and they declined luffy's invitation at first until luffy saves them.
the second recruits of each world is as you say, the biggest fight of strawhats. girls give problems LOL. jk
the third recruits are just obvious, they got a new ship….and so im just waiting for this arc for sunny to have some sort of upgrade then ill bet its gonna be smoker. (or ill bet there will be a recruit)
the fourth is obvious as well, introduced in a floating vessel and cant join because they are bound to a situation....and they want to reach a specific part of the sea as well.
