@RobinotX:
I disagree. She is a similar to Chopper and Usopp when they didnt know about the world so in that sense I do like her sense of traveling
Their was much more to Usopp and Chopper though and they joined in their introduction arc. Carrot was pretty much a background character in her introduction arc.
Nothing perse. It is something that I noticed from the third person that joined the crew in the previous seas. The beauty is: either there is a pattern or there isn't. But we only will know when we get a statement the crew is complete or the series is finished. Let say it differently it could mean something. Cause isn't it weird that there are similarities in some cases to how people joined?
You might find more "similarities" between characters if you looked but I just don't think it actually matters or is really a way to predict who joins for real.
Obviously they have shown in the current war that we have Wanda and Shishilian taking up that role. Like I said, she didn't need to join. And one of the only reasons I can think of she did was getting us used to her in the dynamics of the crew. She talks about the Sunny as she was part of the crew and the parallel towards how the Minks joined both Roger and Whitebeard are quite big as well. Which is also rightly shown that the Minks didn't joined Raftel. I do wanna put in that sense that a cabin boy or girl wouldn't work either as they didn't go to Raftel. And as far as we know Tom was unofficialy the shipwright of the Roger pirates (?). He didn't even travel with them, so even though there are parallel's they don't need to be true either.
It's Shishilian who is leading the minks right now but I was talking about something further down the line; replacing Dogstorm and Catviper. She didn't need join but she did.Their needed to be a mink that wouldn't be a sacrifice and could fit well in the arc. Carrot was the best mink for that. Everybody who tags along has dynamics with the crew. When has she talked about the Sunny as if she was part of the crew? I don't remember that. Dogstorm and Catviper joined Whitebeard and Roger following Oden so unless Momonosuke joins and she follows, their is no parallel.
He is also having the same cuffs around his arms
Right but if he only had that and not the "decorative rope" would you really think of Oden? Those cuffs have been worn by many more characters.
