I too didn't like that Pell survived, at least once I really thought about it. I've always really disliked Wapol and Spandam. At elast Wapol can potentially go good now. When I think of more I'll edit them in later.

Well of course.The idea is just based on whether or not CoA effects the body inside and out or not. If it doesn't, a very powerful vulcanization effect is plausible for Luffy only.

If I'm forgetting any key details, then that could make or break it.

Oh, I mean…using it for an even stronger level of defenses not possible for any other Haki users. Like the CoA + basically.

Yeah...At least he keeps us pondering eh? Helps keep our minds exercising a little more.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before already, but I had a little theory about something only Luffy could do with Haki. Ok, so, I beleive they have brought up the vulcanization process in the Podcast a few times before. I've thought about perhaps Luffy could achieve that through the use of Haki? It could be his Gear 4th from there.

I hope this wasn't something already generally accepted, but, yeah, just wanted to mention..

@Zik:

More sense than another character that had no chance. More sense for a character that equally had no chance.

More sense.

Boa had/has her island to protect from being assaulted by the WG, so she couldn't just stop being the Empress, unless a new one would be able to form the same deal. Perona wasn't or isn't in any situation like that.

Either way, I realize Perona WON'T join. If she was going to, she would of followed onto the ship before they sunk down….Way too late to follow now. I'm gearing more toward a fishman/woman now, or maybe a mermaid.

I did think about the size being an issue, but there could be ways around i, still, there's always the small chance. We knwot he Thousand Sunny is here to stay though, so unelss Franky made it much bigger, well…yeah.

Maybe we'll get a fishwoman? It'd certainly fit the crew's dynamics. After that, maybe a giant will join eventually.

I most wanted Perona to join, since she made more logical sense then Boa for obvious reasons. Boa joining would have been epic, either way, the crew could use another girl.

Hey there, I'm new too, welcome to the forums.

I joined the forums recently, and have listened to the Unofficial Podcast for the last several months.

I'm a big fan of both anime and manga in general, as well as video games. I enjoy chatting, so feel free to message me. Okama, Kama, or even Land are fine. ^^

Nice to meet everyone.
