Nico Robin's bounty will probably be something close to 200thousand if they find out that she has connections with the revolutionary army.
Law will probably removed from the shichibukai and an all around bounty increase for all of the Straw Hats and Bartolomeo.

Well, I'll make a list of top favorite and least favorite so you may have an idea of what I like and dislike.
Favorite: 1. Sabaody - best arc of the series in my opinion. Way too much revelations in this arc and oh yeah did I mention ehm.. sorry…KUMA?
2. Impel Down - Another arc with a few revelations, epic fight scenes and the Blackbeard crew.
3. Water 7/Enies Lobby - Self-explanatory :ninja:

Least Favorite:
1. Fishman-fucking-Island - This was so bad it even made me to temporarily drop the manga. In my opinion guys, don't kill me.
2. Return to Sabaody/ Punk Hazard - REALLY slow pacing and the animation just randomly dropped compared to Impel Down or Sabaody.
3. Marineford - Same as number two, but I liked this one a little better.

So the anime just got really bad after Impel Down for me personally. Return to Sabaody, Punk Hazard and Marineford was VERY good in the manga, but the incredibly slow pacing in the anime killed it for me.

@Foxy:

No, Luffy was the strongest, he defeated Crocodile when Robin couldn't, and Luffy had a higher bounty than her.

How could you make two blatantly wrong statements and act like there right?

No, what I meant was that at the time Nico Robin did have the strength to defeat more enemies than the monster trio could.
Luffy's bounty increased when the World Government realized that, So i'd say Nico Robin's bounty was like a day higher than Luffy's when she first joined the crew.
I may be wrong, tho. That happened way too long ago for me to remember in detail :P

Why does alot of people say that Jinbe can't join because he's "stronger" and has a higher bounty that Luffy?

Did they forget that when Nico Robin joined, she was the strongest in the crew till after Skypeia? She also had a higher bounty…

Maybe the next SH member would be a Magician/Illusionist that can disappear or reappear, teleport, make copies of himself and others (similar to Mirage Tempo) and make illusions? Someone with these abilities would perform well with Nami's Mirage Tempo or Ussop's lying skills. For example: when Ussop does his Firebird Star technique, the magician creates an illusion that would make it appear as if the firebird is flying and moving on it's own Or to scare the enemy, make a copy of the entire crew to make it seem that there is two of everybody, when really there is not.

@The:

Momo would need to be pretty darn powerful not to be a liability here. And I just don't see that.

No, man. I wasn't talking about Momo. I REALLY do not see him joining the crew. I'm talking about just another kid in general. I mentioned kids in other series as an example on how deadly they can be.

@The:

I could see Kuzan joining the crew. Every SH has a dream, something that people seem to forget about when they randomly throw out possible Nakamas. Now Kuzan left the marines because he could not serve under Akainu and his version of Absolute Justice. Kuzan has shown in the past that he hates this idealogy.

I could see where Kuzan's dream is this; To take back the marines and make them a force of good in the world, realizing that not all pirates are bad.

I think it goes without say that one of the final battles, if not the final battle of the series, will be againist the marines. And it's easy to predict the marines falling in battle, and being further annihilated upon the void history coming out. If the marines are to rise from the ashes and become a force of good in the world they will need someone to lead them, and that man is Kuzan. His time as a SH and a Marine Admiral should allow him to build an organization for good in the world.

This dream though comes from an assumption that under the leadership of Akainu the marines have gotten more aggrassive and maybe eviler.

Kuzan's battle with Akainu undoubtly left him injured, so we could see something where because of those injuries he's not as powerful as he once was. Handicapping him like this would perhaps allow him to join the SH's and not interfere with the Monster Trio.

Another Nakama canidate that I feel strongly for though is Kinemon. His flaming sword was foreshadowed and his inclusion with Brook and Zoro form a Three-Musketeers vibe. Futhermore he's had nice interactions with Sanji, and Luffy would love to use his legs again. And his DF is interesting, but none of thatis real proof.

Kinemon's dream I believe will be this; To meet Dr. Vegapunk and see if he can reverse the DF on his son.

This dream though folows the assumption that Momo can't turn back into a human.

I think we can say with ease that at some point we will be meeting Dr. Vegapunk, between Nami finding him interesting and Franky's connection to him, and even Kuma. Dr. Vegapunk may not even be an enemy per say.

Many people here are making a big deal of Momo joining, but I can't see it. This is afterall the New World, where the toughest pirates are. Th SH's needed two years of intense training just to make it her. Why would they allow a kid to join them? He'd be a large liabilty going forward, even if he is a dragon. Furthermre why would Kinemon agree to let him go? I could see him tagging along if Kinemon joins, but not by himself.

i think what we're going to be seeing in One Piece soon is the creation of a fourth group within the SH's. Their strength will be below the Monster Trio's but above everyone else.

The Monster Trio (Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji)
The TBA Trio (Jinbe, Kinemon, and Kuzan)
The Mid Tier Trio (Robin, Franky, and Brook)
The Weakling Trio (Nami, Ussopp, and Chopper)

I feel that as the SH's come up againist stronger crews they'll need more than just Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji to fight them off.

Your points makes sense but i don't see Kuzan joining the crew. Just remember that EVERY SH crew member was brand new. We knew nothing of them until the arc that they were represented in. I can see Jinbe joining the SH, but not anytime soon, because he will disrupt the "Monster Trio" title.

Do you know why i see a kid joining the SH? Because there are powerful children in general and i'm sure that there will be a kid that interests the captain. A few examples would be Killua or Trunks from the HxH and DBZ series. I'm sure that we will find kids in this series as/more powerful than Pre-timeskip Luffy or Zoro in the New World.

Imo Robin far surpasses the level of Brooke and Franky, maybe even Kinemon.

Robin Fanboy, so maybe it is I that is overestimating her a bit :ninja:

I hear you guys talking about the Strawhats not having a crew member that can fly. What if Robin perfected her 100-Fleur Wings technique when she was with the Revolutionaries? I know that the chances of that being true i quite low, but you never know.

Am I the only one that sees a kid (8-14) joining the crew?

I agree that there should be a Logia in the SH, Because then the crew would have members with each a DF category. I really don't see Monet joining the SH though, maybe a dust Logia?:wassat:

@Cruithne:

I wish Oda would give Robin some epic fights (she'd be up there if he did). Her power is too cool to be wasted like that. >:I

I totally agree, she's on the top of my list. She always gets fights where she is so overpowered that she beats the opponent with 1 move. Now that i think about it EVERY other Strawhat had a serious fight except her. Maybe Oda sees her only as a support character? I don't know about you guys, but in my opinion she is as strong as the "Monster Three". Also in my opinion i think that she can beat a logia DF user without Haki, using her knowledge.

I'm shocked that i am the only one with Sentoumaru in his/her list :wassat: Before the Marineford arc. My all-time favorite was Bartholomew Kuma, but then Oda decided to make him completely a robot.
Hopefully Oda gives us some backstory of him since he IS on Yonkou level. :happy:
