If this tread has been discussed before, please delete it.
If the crew lived in the real world today, where do you think that they could be from, looking to their aspect and personality?
My guess would go to:
Luffy:Japan
Nami:USA
Zoro:Japan
Usopp:Brazil
Sanji:France
Chopper:Russia
Robin:Italy

That all makes sense except for the Zoro one. He obviously Mexican.
Luffy:Japan
I disagree on this one.
Luffy's loud, a bit dumb, and utilizes Gaijin Smash on everything in his path. He's obviously American.
Nami:USA
Nami's really one that I have never really been able to figure out.
Zoro:Japan
By far the easiest one.
Usopp:Brazil
Eh… I see him as Italian more than Brazilian, though that's largely because of the Pinocchio connection.
Sanji:France
Yep.
Chopper:Russia
Chopper's one that I've never really thought about. Eastern European or Scandanavian of some sort.
Robin:Italy
See, I'd peg her as Spanish myself, mainly because of her attack name.
Nami's obviously American. She spends and steals like crazy.
Luffy, I agree with Ubiq on him being American. I don't think anyone can eat that much, stay thin and be stupid.
Zoro is Japanese (too obvious)
Usopp: Hard to say, he has Hispanic skin but he looks like he's something else.
Sanji: You're kidding right?
Chopper lives somewhere very cold, probably the Arctic Circle region like Russia or Alaska.
Robin is Hispanic, end of story.
Luffy's American, or at least an American born Japanese. His clothes are an utterly parody on American tourism!
Zoro seems Japanese, Sanji French, Robin's Spanish, Nami is American, Chopper could be Russian (though any snow-based region in Eurasia could be his home), and Usopp is Italian-ish.
Franky's American, too.
I think I put them like this without futher explanation:
Luffy: Chinese
Zoro: Japanese
Nami: Irish
Usopp: Mexican
Sanji: France
Chopper: Finnish
Robin: Spanish
Franky: Hawaiian

Thats pretty offensive about saying luffy is chinese….
How is he even chinese? he seems pretty american to me.
Luffy:America
Nami:America
Zoro:Japan
Sanji:France
And I dont really know about the others.
@BatDan:Yes sanji is french....
I know Sanji is french. I was making a joke.
When Franky joins then he's American.
I don't see a hint of Chinese in Luffy, definitly an American who speaks Japanese but not Chinese.
Thats pretty offensive about saying luffy is chinese….
So being referred to Luffy is an insult now?
Luffy: New Zealand? Ace looks it
Zoro: Japan. santoryu, oni giri, nuff said
Nami: anywhere there's sun and ocean
Usopp: Mexico. tabasco star's the only reason i can think of
Sanji: France.
Chopper: North pole. his blue nose, his birthday and Zoro in a chimney
Robin: Spain.
Franky: ItalyxAmerica.
People, you might want to hold off on adding Franky until he's actually asked to join the crew. As is, Luffy still doesn't like Franky and there's another potential candidate that he does like in Pauly.
Fine. I believe Paulie is American.
He smokes cigars and is great at building ships as well as using ropes so yeah.
Oh no, not this thread again.
It's simple. They're all East-Blueish, except Sanji who came from North Blue and Robin who came from…wait, was Ohara South Blue?
Of course, there's plenty of reasons to attribute an Italian influence In Usopp's character.
1. His mom's name is italian
2. Pinnochio is Italian
Or you could say perhaps partly Greek (Aesop) :biggrin:
I really don't get why some people think Usopp would be Mexican, though...I practically live in Mexico (SoCal is still Mexico as far as they're concerned, they're still pissed off at how it was taken from them), the only characters in One Piece who look remotely Mexican would be some of the Shandians - which makes sense, because Mexicans are for the most part native Americans.
Fine. I believe Paulie is American.
Most Americans are all mutts anyway. Except those that still refer to themselves as being from the country of their ancestors.
Luffy: New Zealand
Usopp: Southern Italy
Ace: Austrailian
Zoro: Japan
Franky: American
Nami: England
Chopper: Sabrina, Russia
Sanji: Franch
Robin: Spanish
Currently writing a book
It's simple. They're all East-Blueish, except Sanji who came from North Blue and Robin who came from…wait, was Ohara South Blue?
Ohara was in West Blue… I think.
Also, I think Robin's more Egyptian than Spanish...
[My favorite character] is definitely [my race].

Ace and Luffy being brothers.. wouldn't they be the SAME? and how's Nami british? she's nothing like us… XD
I think..
Zoro: Japanese
Nami: torn.. I think Japanese
Chopper: lap land =D or Canada?
Sanji: France
Usopp: Italy
Luffy: America
Robin: Agree with Egyptian
Oda-sama never talked about it on SBS? ô.o
Well..I think Robin is Egyptian or Spanish 
and Sanji is French ! I also like the Franky Hawaii idea.. u.u But I think there's no japanese mugiwara… '.' They just don't act as japanese XD
The only ones I'm sure about are the Shandians, who are Native American (duhr), Sanji, who is Franch, and Franky, who is American (Hawaiian is good.)
I mean, come on. What other nationality could a loud, stubborn, rude, tall, buff guy who wears speedos coupled with loud Hawaiian shirts and fights dirty be?
lol…. i think luffy's chinese.... their loud and obnoxious sometimes (no offense... b/c i am chinese....) i mean look at my mom.... she never shuts up.... ever... whether its good or bad 
I don't see why people keep saying that Robin is Spanish because of her attacks, they aren't even in Spanish! They're Italian…
Franky? He has American written all over him hehe, the Hawaiian shits were a dead giveaway. Nami I've never been too sure aobut though...
Signature removed by Pepsi.
@Miss:

Last I checked, 'cien' was Spanish, not Italian. 'Fleur' is French, though…
Actually both Italian and Spanish share many words in their languages.
Usopp is Italian.
Notice how I pointed out words that aren't Italian.
I don't know. Robin just SEEMS Spanish or Egyptian.
Franky doesn't use any more English than Usopp (less, I believe, actually), American English included, and who seems to be the Yank?
Eeeeeeehh?
Luffy:Japan
Probably, judging by his black hair and similar reesemblance to a Japanese man.
Nami:USA
Okay.
Zoro:Japan
With samurai skiulls like that you gotta admit.
Usopp:Brazil
How's he from Brazil?!
Sanji:France
Oh yeah definitely. COLLIER COUP! BROCHETTE! SELLE!
Chopper:Russia
Again, I don't see how. Look more from the north pole….GREENLAND!
Robin:Italy
More like Spain or Mexico. Or going by her English dub personaility….Texas~
I made this badass signature.
Not your average Sanji fangirl. >=)
Luffy- American (Bayous)
Zoro- Japanese
Nami- Irish-American
Sanji- French
Chopper- Russian
Ussop- Greek
Robin- Spanish
Franky (assuming he joins)- American (beach bum)
To throw one in, honestly, I'd say pretty much all of the Water Seven people seem Italian to me, Franky included.
@Sanji's:
How's he (Usopp) from Brazil?!
Oh well, I'm from Brazil, and I kinda identify himself with the stereotype from my country (which doesn't correspond as the truth, like 95% of the other countries stereotypes). Since brazilians are the third biggest community of non japaneses in Japan (behind chinese and koreans), I thought that it was impossible for Oda to never have noticed any brazilian in there.
The truth is that I hell like Usopp as an character, but that Pinocchio thing made me think twice.
Well, maybe he's really brazilian, and all that "italian reference" are just another of his lies.
Or not. :sad:
To throw one in, honestly, I'd say pretty much all of the Water Seven people seem Italian to me, Franky included.
Well, Water 7 is based off of Venice, Italy. The surrounding Islands also have Italian sounding names (Pucci, San Faldo). And Rob Lucci is an Italian name. There's an Italian restaurant around here called Lucci's. :biggrin:
Let's say Usopp seen to be Italian from his mother side and Brazilian from his faher side
Nico Robin isn't Italian she could be French or Spanish (because of the attacks she uses) or Egyptian because of the nose (but Ohara ressembles more like those weird Gaudi buildings in Spain)
What about Wanze can anyone pin point a location for him ?
Wanze is from an insane asylum in the Bermuda Triangle; everybody knows that… 
Or one of those freaky European circuses...
I've done something like this before:
Luffy: America or New Zealand.
Zoro: Japan or Meditteranean area. Most likely the former.
Nami: America. Probably somewhere in america where rich people live; though. Maybe Nami has her own private island. :3
Usopp: Just screams Greece or Italy.
Sanji: Probably France or some other European country; but some weird part of my head is telling me that he's from Seattle; Washington. Please tell that part of my head to shut up.
Chopper: Russia! Or Canada! (plus the other people in the drum kingdom seem Russian, ei Dalton & Wapol)
Robin: Egypt or Spain.
Let's say Usopp seen to be Italian from his mother side and Brazilian from his faher side
Yasopp doesn't look very Brazillian though.
What about Wanze can anyone pin point a location for him ?
Through the Looking Glass, perhaps?
Funny, the perceptions that people have.

Funny indeed. How would a brazilian look up to you guys?
Well, since Yasopp don't have any reference (the name of his shots, or the big nose from pinocchio), you can't really tell were he's from. Well, some latin country from Central America? Don't know.
Yasopp I said it could Brazilian because he was the latin american style and since Brazil is well know for being a country with a huge mixture of races
Yasopp would be fine there althought he can be from any other country
Now Nero, this one was to French or maybe not ?
Yasopp looks Jamaican to me, so is Usopp half Jamaican half Italian?
Luffy - Can't really pinpoint any nationality. I'd say New Zealand (mainly because of Ace)
Nami - American
Zoro - Spanish, born and raised in Japan
Sanji - French
Chopper - Russian
Ussop - Italian
Robin - Spanish
I don't know about everyone, but Sanji and Zoro look like japanese… or some other eastern. Judging by their eyes.
Usopp could very well be jamaican/some other like that.
Robin... aren't her attack names spanish? I could say she's spanish.. her skin colour is also.. darker.
About Nami, Chopper and Luffy I really can't say anything. They are neutral, I think.
Franky reminds me kind of Italy with all that underground mafia-things 
Luffy: New Englands own! WHOO HOMETEAM GO.#5$$#@
(because of how Fusica Village looks)
Zoro: Japanese. His dojo clearly came from a japanese like place….so
Nami: Floridian....if you count Kocoyashi. But she wasn't exactly born there, so Irish.
Usopp: Western Meditteraenian(sp?) A lil bit o Spain, a lil bit o Italy.
Sanji: French or Swedish.
Chopper: Nordic bastard.
Nico Robin: Spanish? American?
Franky: Italian?
Here i am.
Monkey D. Luffy: USA.
Zoro: Japan.
Nami: UK.
Usopp: Latin America.
Sanji: France (his moves) or scandinavian (North Blue nope?).
Chopper: Sweden (Santa Claus home).
Nico Robin: Half italian, half spanish.
Franky: Australian?
