@Mehtare:
I honestly hope Oda keeps his word about not creating couples in One Piece. I love it how the relationships in the crew are based on friendship and fraternal love. They all have a messed up past but found a family among the Straw Hats and maybe a romantic relationship would taint that a little…
But I agree that if any couples show up the most plausible ones are Luffy & Hancock and Usopp & Kaya. I don't see Zoro hooking up with somebody, though. He's too much of a lonely wolf xD
I really don't understand how this Robin & Franky thing came up. I guess that's a popular pairing, but I don't see why :wassat:
Actually Oda never clearly said there will be no romance in one piece. Rather he just denying the question with his twisted answer: "of course they all fall in love…with adventure". (In SBS in my country, it's translated like that.)
And if we looking based on his favorite manga, Dragon Ball, maybe -if- Oda put romance in one piece someday, it will be not even far from romance in dragon ball. (Anyone here read dragon ball also?) example, in dragon ball manga, son goku and chi chi, vegeta and bulma, kurilin and no.18 are married and have kids. however, akira toriyama (the mangaka) NEVER draw the lovey dovey things between them, like vegeta and bulma, he never draw any romantic things between them such as hugging, kissing, or even holding hands. He keep stick with the battle stories, even he put the romance in it.
So i guess Oda will do the simillar things if he decide to put some romance in one piece. :)
But i also, honestly dont want to see any married and pregnant stories in one piece haha. It just too weird. I more prefer if oda make it like "partnership", something like rayleigh and shakky. So they are "friends" who has deep connection between them and know each other so well. Something like that is enough for me. No need to see them holding hands and kissing in the flower field.
The pairing between robin n franky became popular i guess because once oda ever said if one piece were family, then brook will become grandpa, franky = dad, robin = mom, zoro = 1st son, sanji = 2nd son, luffy= 3rd son, nami =1st daughter, usopp = 4th son, and chopper = 5th son (Correct me if i'm wrong). I guess everything about FraBin things start from this haha. But i guess oda make family tree like that based on their age only. -_-' what a corny guy lol
Yeah, zoro (my 1st fav character in one piece) clearly more like the lonely wolf. but when i thinking about the end of strawhat journey, when all of them start to live by themself, i hope Zoro will have someone who can be his place to rest when he back from his toughful journey. I dont want to see he sick and die alone. So based on my own wish, i think the calm, mature and caring woman like robin is suits with what kind of partner that zoro might be need for the best. Thats why i like to ship them.^^ (only my selfish wish of course haha)
