I want Paulie to join, because Frankie's design irritates me. Besides, he's just cool.
Oh! Oh! Might I ask where you got that sig from, Solid? Gracias.

Ah! I guess I should've been able to deduce that from the lyrics… Oh well.

My old opinion still stands. I sure like to play with the idea of Franky joining, he's awesome, but Pauly will join because he's more like a Straw Hat. Although Franky still has good chances though, my heart would fullfit with eternal happiness if Oda make him to step into the board.
-
I'm starting to think that Franky will build the new ship and Paulie will be the new member. :3 It kinda makes sense because Usopp loves the Merry and is becoming friends with Franky, an appentice under Tom (who built Roger's ship) and had somthing to do with the creation of Pluton.
-
Hoo boy, it is still to early to pin it down. I'm going to resurrect the "crazy theory" thread to put my idea on how they will both join, but that is for another time. When I first saw the thread, I thought you asked who would win a fight. We have not seen both men fight to fullest, but I would lean toward Franky, at the moment, with his chain-linked arms (like Brocken from World heroes, only with swim trunks) and the Coupe de Vent as back-up. Paulie may be a lot stronger than he originally let on though, so, as I said, it is still too early to say for sure.
P.S.- Anyone think that the Battle Franky 9 (from Chp. 354) looked like a Metal Slug tank?
-
Paulie is more likely to be the new crew member, mainly becuase Franky has alot more material for the Water 7 cover story that will be made after this arc is over.
Sometimes, a dead woman is a dead woman. Sometimes a giant black gorilla is just a giant black gorilla.

Like I said in the old forum (rest in peace) I could far more easily imagine Pauly's cover arc. Pauly's miniskirtless runaway from dept colectors would focus on Pauly working out a way from his depts and include some foxy ladies. It would make a good use of his trademark joke and give a good insight into Galley-la's rebuilding. Removing depts is also a good and enough simple starting point for a cover story (You know, the first volume would be a little like Ace's but instead of eat-and-run Pauly's runing away from dept colectors, again)
-
Beyond that, the Square Sisters or the Franky Family have enough personality to carry their own mini story as well. The Franky crew could mince a few words and get in trouble with locals or Kiwi and Mouse could lead the Family in rebuilding W7 with Tilestone or Lulu getting mixed into the ruckus. Tilestone would make a great mini story character too. I can imagine him having a really weird relationship with the Franky Family. The idea is, though, that neither Franky or Paulie need to be involved in the mini story, so it does not need to be a qualifier for who will join the crew.
-
I think Franky is a bit cooler, but his design is too.. Flamboyant. More so than Bon Clay's. There is just no way that I would be able to get used to Franky if he joined the crew. Paulie has a more traditional design, more agreeable.
I'm not saying that Franky is too different.. His design is just too extravagant.
-
I'd much rather have Franky join, but either (or both) would be fine. Like I said before, no matter who joins, I'm sure Oda will make us love them.
-
Franky will join & Paulie's banal cardboard personality will be left to float away with the Aqua Laguna.
END OF STORY!
-
tough choice… either choice I think its good. Oda-sensei always has something up his sleeve. Paulie is awesome and Franky is funny, they both put a smile on my face

[snapback]1489[/snapback]**Er, as flamboyant as he is I don't think ANYONE can outdo Bon Clay in that department. Nobody can beat the OKAMA WAY!!
As absolutely cool as Franky is, I have to say I think Paulie will join. Namely that Franky is too old (although that's a weak statement), too flamboyant (always out-shine the rest of the crew), too independent (I can't see him taking orders from Luffy), and has too many things keeping him back at Water Seven (Franky Family, memories of Tom, not to mention his extreme devotion to it).
-
Along with what seems to be the general consensus, I have to say that while Franky's overall cooler, I just don't see him joining. Pauley's pretty much certainly our man, I'd say, and while he's not quite as cool as Franky, he's still pretty nifty. I dig the rope thing.
-
i said paulie because i just cant imagin franky on the ship with the crew
I am now on DevantART so come cheak out my art i demand it of you :laugh:

I'm sure, that Paulie will join, because Luffy like him more than Franky:D
I think that way.:D:D:D:D:D Maybe yaoi in future? Paulie and Luffy? I'm pervert! -
Yes, you are!
-
i think Paulie will join .. he had a special behaviour
..and cool .. -
I'm sticking with Paulie being the new crew member… but either would be cool.
-
Though I prefer Franky as a character, I think it's more likely Paulie will join. But I like Paulie too so I don't mind
-
Both Franky and Paulie are cool, but I see more potential in Paulie's character even though some people argue that he's boring. Obviously, I do not agree. To me, Franky just wouldn't fit in.
But basically, I just want a new crewmember. I'm sure Oda will work it out to my satisfaction.
-
paulie seems more likely.
if anything, franky might join Ussop
-
I like Franky. And lately I've been liking him more and more. I think part of the reason why Oda is making him so memorable right now and giving him a large focus in this arc is because this will be the guy who creates the ship that replaces Merry. Merry has a special place alongside the cast and is seen everywhere. It's synonomous with the Crew. We'll be less likely to want the Merry back in the story if this new ship evokes an emotional response from us, and that will be its connection to Franky.
That being said, I think Paulie's our man. Though I won't be happy until he's depicted in his first Strawhat group pic.
-
You know that Paulie has something against women wearing mini skirts and stuff, well what would it be like on the ship?
I mean Nami wears skirts practically most of the time. I think it would be funny.
mmm… yolko love (eggyxeggy). warning: don't cook them.
-
I'm pretty sure of that Franky will build their new ship but who will join the crew could be either of them or both. I hope the Franky joins though.
-
Franky, simply because I like him. He's more funny & unpredictable :lol:

I like both of them, but I want the new crewmemebr to be Pauley, he just seems more "straw-hat" than Franky to me.

Paulie: http://groups.msn.com/onepiecemangav-2/cha…to&PhotoID=1547
Choppa: http://groups.msn.com/OnePieceManga/onepie…to&PhotoID=2667
Usopp: http://groups.msn.com/OnePieceManga/onepie…oto&PhotoID=500
Nami: http://groups.msn.com/OnePieceManga/onepie…oto&PhotoID=193Anyone noticed a thing? Paulie was the first good character we saw in water 7 without the strawhatts, just like it was with Choppa, Usopp, Sanji and Nami.
If Oda wanted Franky to join the strawhatts, then why didnt he showed him, before he showed us Pauley?And a other i noticed about Franky is that he must be a good swimmer, coz jumped in the water when he fought Luffy, and I think that he swimmed to water 7 when his battle franky was destroyed and he fighted with Yokozuna in the water, and his clothes is well fitted for a swimmer, he can just take his shirt of then he can jump in the water without worry about his clothes. And he probbaly got a propeller or something since he's a cyborg.
Sorry for all the spelling and grammar mistakes.
-
I'm still rooting for Franky. I like the thought of him joining, I think it would be a riot. If you're worried about his speedos, who knows, maybe he'll wear pants more often at sea.
I don't have any problem with Pauly, but I'm not all that interested in him either. Unless, all of a sudden Oda starts focusing on his character and establish his personality nuances more. -
I'm not gonna say who will or won't, because at this point, I think it's imposible to know.
If Oda wanted Franky to join the strawhatts, then why didnt he showed him, before he showed us Pauley?
Well, we met Vivi before Robin, didn't we? Yeah, she joined them for a while, but who's the 7th Straw Hat?
We can't really go by precedents or anything because this arc is much different from others in many ways.
With that stuff off my chest, I'll say that I'm rooting for Franky. I like his character better, and thanks to Kalei's strip, I can see him fitting in just fine.

[snapback]8211[/snapback]**snrrk I love that one. :lol:
But I think I still like Paulie as the new Straw-Hat… ho-hum deedly-dum. Franky should totally make the new ship though, that I'll sit on for sure.
-
Pauly looks a lot of different when we saw him the very first time :blink:, as it would be Oda's first time he actually drawed him.
Anyway, I don't have any reasons not to root Franky anymore. I love the fact he's a swimmer, I thought a fishman would be a natural shipwright but this way it's even better. Yay for Oda.
-
Well, Franky's funny and the Straw-Hat Pirates are all about fun :lol: But Paulie is pretty strong… they could him as well.... SoI'm gonna vote for BOTH!!!! :lol:

[snapback]8166[/snapback]**Well, Robin is an exception for almost everything…
-
somehow I prefer Pauley than Franky
-
Man, Paulie's got a pretty good lead there.
-
Paulie all the way. This way, we'll have a rememberance Franky (the boat) and one of Iceburg (the new Straw Hat member).
I would love some Sanji v Paulie talk.
-
I'm going for both. But I really don't know. I mean for some strange reason I seem to like Paulie. Maybe because he reminds me of Cid Highwing in Final Fantasy 7, really I don't know how my mind works but that's the way it does.
But I can see a way Franky would join.
CP9 run off with the plans. Since we're getting closer to the main base and the Straw Hats seem to go off in that direction Franky joins them in hopes to get the plans back. Robin is missing and everyone suspects she ran off with the CP9 so Iceberg sends Paulie to… follow the straw hats in hope of finding Robin? :unsure: -
Given the nature of Franky's dream in the latest chapter I'm still thinking Paulie.
Franky wants to build a "yume no fune" or "dreamship." Which is just perfect for the Strawhats. So for me it's like Fanky is inheriting the role of Tom in helping the future Pirate King. But after he builds this ship for them there's no reason to go on, and he seems to be pretty attached to his life in Water Seven (I'm thinking the scene right before the flashback started when he goes, "What do you know about Water Seven!?").
And has anybody considered the fact that Franky might be TOO good a shipwright? A voyage with the Strawhats would be good for Paulie so he can perfect his shipbuilding skills.
-
Ok, I clear up my feelings on Pauly. It's not that I don't like this character, I think it's more like, Oda hasn't given me a reason to like this character, yet! Granted, he's had a considerably smaller amount of focus, compared to say Franky, but with the time he has had, well my overall impression of him isn't that great.
His personality is a little on the flat side. I mean, hard-boiled, shipwright gambler who doesn't like raunchy outfits on girls, that it? Also his design just feels a little uninspired really, half part Smoker, a bit of Sanji with a little goatee, it just doesn't grab my attention. Also I'm not really a fan of rope action either! I mean, how effective could it be against some super tripped out DF user?!
I seriously hope the next time we see Pauly, Oda really gives us some development, some real progress. I want to see what makes this guy so unique to others & what makes him tick, I wanna believe that he has the right stuff to become a Strawhat. Because at the moment, I don't buy or understand the hype around this guy. :mellow:
-
I could be satisfied with either.
Paulie literally SCREAMS "I'm a Strawhat!!" and has a very cool fighting style. He likely has a shady past, with the gambling and all, and to escape said debts or at the behest of Iceburg, there is a very high chance of him joining.
On the other hand, Franky is just damn cool. That flashback was one of my favorites - it has quickly eclipsed even the Norland one in coolness, I think - and Franky's just a SUPER guy. :lol: He's also a cyborg, something somewhat original (and, doubtless, something almost no one expected from One Piece), and is powerful enough to stand up to Luffy. And, like Your Mom said, he tried to sumo a FUCKING TRAIN - that's not just balls, that's big-ass brass balls, dammit.
I'm sure Oda will resolve the situation to our satisfaction. He always does (save, perhaps, for NEVER KILLING ANYTHING, even Pell).
