Hello Everyone. For my first post, I wanted to share some thought about the crew of the SH pirates. :biggrin:
I just read the begining again and Luffy said that he wanted about 10 men. Now he have 6 (7 if you count the carpenter) and I find myself looking for the structure of a real pirate crew. this is it :
-
Captain : Luffy.
-
First Mate : Zorro.
-
Gunner : Ussop. By the way, that makes him the Third in command After Luffy and Zorro. :blink:
-
Doctor : Chopper. He is a normal sailor without any autority except that in medicals domains he can even give orders to the captain.
-
Navigator/Pilot : Nami. Does not choose the destination but have autority even over the captain for choosing the way.
-
Store-keeper/coq : Sanji. a normal Sailor, he manage the holds and can ration the crew
-
Passenger : Robin. Sorry,I didn't see any other choice for her, "sailor" just doesn't fit.
-
Sailmaker, Carpenter and Caulker. normaly 3 peoples but I think 1 Carpenter will do all. we will see who after this ark (probably Franky)
-
Bosun and Leading seaman (not sure about the translation : "quartier-maÃ
tre" in french. There is a "quartermaster" in english but it is "timonier" in French, that's a little confusing :wacko: ) : no one yet, which isn't surprising because theses functions doesn't mean anything without a lot of sailors
So my conclusion is : except if a lot of no-names joins, adding the need of Bosun and leading Seaman, The crew will be complete after the charpenter join-in. I don't see the "10 peoples" Luffy was speaking of.
A stupid idea : Kaku could be a wonderfull Look-out. the mast+the neck : a hell of a watch-tower :laugh:
