@Psychosis:

Not everyone. Usopp just wants to be a brave warrior. Nami wants to make a map of the world, but has said it more as a personal ambition. Sanji wants to find the All Blue so he gets the opportunity to cook with all kinds of fish. Brook just wants to see Laboon again. Robin wants to discover the True History.

My point exactly. They all have stated ambitions.

@Blowfish:

This may be true in a sense ,but have you ever considered he has never really had a chance to express such a dream? It's been pure chaos in this manga since Jinbe's introduction. But to say he doesn't have a dream is faulty since he's never had a chance to say anything on the subject ,this imo is Jinbe's biggest pro he's still a blank canvas,he's been so caught up in his Countries affairs , he's never done anything for himself just think about it:

He joined the Sun Pirates for Tiger
He joined the Shichibukai for Otohime & Arlong in a sense
He Left the Shichibukai for Ace & Whitebeard

The only time Ive ever seen him do something for himself is when he saved Luffy even this is selfless, though he initially rejected Ace's request. Jinbe maybe the least selfish person in all of One Piece but to say he doesn't have a dream is an assumption at best[[even Hachi has a dream]] but only time will tell.

That's very true, I never realized they've been going at it non-stop since Impel Down (sans time skip). I would love for Jinbe to join the crew, don't get me wrong, but I'm still slightly skeptical on his chances of joining.

edit ohhhh automerge is nifty

While that may be true, I think a lot of people are missing the strongest criteria for someone joining the SH crew. Pretty much anyone who joins has a stated ambition or wants to make their mark on the world.

Ex: Luffy wants to be Pirate King. Zoro wants to be the strongest swordsman etc etc. Jinbe doesn't have any ambition like that.

Sweeeet chapter. Thanks a lot guys!

@Kaimei-Karasuhebi:

My idea for a Final Arc would be:

Blackbeard becomes the strongest pirate of the world after:
He takes over the World Government; kills the remaining Schichibukai, Dragon in an epic Battle and the Whitebeard and Redhair pirates…

The most epic battle would being:

Usopp leading the Redhairs, being the only relative of one of the high ranks, and after showing off snipping skills that could even match Yasopp's.

Luffy leading the Revolutionaries, the purpose that Dragon had for him from the beginning..

And Ace replacing Whitebeard...

And everyone will fight against Blackbear, who got the ultimate weapons..

So, Usopp would finally have his 8,000 followers! What an ending! :D

That has got plenty of epic in it. I would definitely like to see that.

@Moria:

Franky vs. Jesus

Sorry, I had to quote this. It just sounded very non sequitur.

And yes, I know that Jesus is one of Blackbeard's crewmen.

Sanji finds out that Zoro's hair is actually Marimo and attempts to cook it or however you eat that stuff.

@Skull:

Also, like everyone said Luffy and Lucchi appeared to be moving in slow motion that whole scene. I mean Toei has never shown the characters moving as fast as they actually are during fights in any episode ever, but this still sucks.

Yeah, I also have another bone to pick with Toei.

What's the deal with the water? It's seawater right? If so, Lucci is a dumbass. Lucci and Luffy should be literally collapsing in the ankle deep water.

I was thinking one day of Brook's lack of shadow and something struck me. Could the person who stole his shadow be Blackbeard? Brook mentioned that the person who stole his shadow supposedly is very powerful. Also, BB has the Darkness fruit. Could he possibly "take" darkness?

This is all (very) wild speculation on my part. Feel free to ridicle at will. I didn't want to start a new topic due to the randomness of this.

@sabret00the:

As he was giving this suffix with his bounty poster, i'm curious as to whether or not the World Government knew of his relations to Zeff?

Well, the "Black" probably comes from black representing the color of death and/or suffering. However, the problem with my theory is that (if I recall), white's the color of death in Japan.

I'm surprised no one's done this yet:

I forgot where it's from though.
