alright, alright. im not gonna post my theories here anymore.
im being treated like the king of bad theories or something… it's my first theory here guys, and it's considerably less stupid than others in here. seriously, there's theories in here about caesar clown joining the straw hats! holyshit.
Don't worry man, we all start off rocky.
The expression is actually 'a picture is worth a thousand words'.
How much are words worth?
Actually, despite how much you'll hear otherwise from some fans/fansubbers who insist that "nakama" is a special, borderline-holy word that has no real English equivalent and should never be translated, "nakama" really just directly translates to "comrade", and can also mean "friend" or "companion", or in the context of One Piece, "crewmate". Probably why this thread is named "Next Straw Hat Crewmate" instead of "Next Strawhat Nakama" (which I definitely appreciate).
Don't worry, I knew that "nakama" = "comrade", it may sound stupid but I picked up that knowledge from watching enough anime. What I meant is what it means for a a character to be qualified as a Straw Hat. Like, how can you spot a potential SH in a character?
It sure didn't give me the desire to try real sauerkraut.
Back on topic, can we consider Reiju as Oda fulfilling the dreams of those twisted fans cheering for Sanji X Luffy and genderbended Sanji ?
My heart hurts and I feel sick. I think I'm dying. Help.
I feel like the term "nakama" lost its meaning to me because of this thread.
You underestimate the motivating power of "But my waifu should join. Jinbe will just have to die to make room"
The deed is done…
!
Who's filling the empty space now?
Yeah my phone automatically corrected it.
So, how much the movie and the chapter 0 are canon ?
Chapter 0 is canon from beginning to end. Strong World was created just to give Shiki some screen time and is non-canon to the series.
Vote for Garp! World's Best Grandfather!

I do have to wonder; when we finally get the last free member, how long will this thread last…

This thread will be as lifeless as Punk Hazard.
Wasn't he shown flying in Impel Down, before he attached his swords ?
As far as my memory goes, no. Shiki is only able to fly (or levitate, if you want to get technical) because he amputated his legs and replaced them with his swords. His power can levitate objects but not people or other living things.
He guys so I just read in the reply section of mangastream that CLAIMED that Oda says the next Nakama will be a woman. And idea about this?

Bellemere here with a PSA:

Remember to Vote for Bellemere with a Smile!
Since we sort of know what Reiju's DF does, what about the name of the fruit? Since it's most likely a Zoan type, the name is probably the Bug-Bug Fruit Model:Butterfly. If anyone's got a better name, don't hesitate and share!
Smoker's so badass, he'll tell his corrupt higher ups to eat shit!
VOTE FOR SMOKER TO END THE CORRUPT NAVY!
It's a shame Zoro or Law isn't with Luffy, we'd be able to see if Reiju would have heart shaped eyes when around good looking guys (no offense, Luffy:ninja:).
I think the blue guy could join by chapter 900 but I am an optimist. :getlost:
Let's be realistic, he won't show up until Chapter 1000 and I'll be old and telling my grandchildren the tale of Jinbei and passing on my love of his badassery to them and I'll be dead.
@Tamiel:
I was going the route of docking with the Sunny. That snail is carrying a castle, or at least it looks like one.
!
or a ship.
@Miss:
Right, I just keep wishing he'd try something new. This is, after all, the guy that came up with One Piece. A pioneer in original and exciting stories and unique characters.
But no. He just keeps doing the same tired old shit over and over. He doesn't expand his genre or tropes or tries anything new anymore. This series is almost twenty years old now; the majority of his audience has grown up. Yet he keeps writing strictly for that 12-year-old Japanese boy crowd.
Well, One Piece is a shonen series aimed at kids 13 and younger, it just so happens to catch and interest us grown adults surprisingly enough to follow the series weekly but I do see your point. Then again aren't we all just giant sized kids deep down?:ninja:

OMG HE'S BACK.
And here I thought I was the only super hype one here for his return.
!
Vote for Smoker, the best marine with the best animated fight!
My vote goes to Smokey (because he needs campaign support), but my heart goes to Gatz!
Two things I wanna get off my chest:
1. I don't know why, but I'm kinda expecting the Germa 66 to join the Grand Fleet
2. The return of everyone's favorite whale shark fishman:ninja:
!
Oops, wrong picture
I'm torn between Smoker and Gatz. I love both of them, but I don't know which one I should vote for!
Just like how Luffy never abandoned you, I'll never leave you.
Vote for Vivi to put an end to this horrible abuse!
Damn Croc, back at it again with the sandstorms!
Plus I kinda feel bad for Arlong because he only got one vote, so here's a shoutout to the Pride of the Fishman race!
Many people think that carrot is gonna join the crew while i think that she lacks the the unique aspects that makes her a candidate for the Straw Hats crew. I understand that Carrot is different from the others with her electro and being a mink, but still think that those two aspects are not that big in her character. This led me to think that from Jinbi's introduction until now, we haven't seen a character that is truly unique and we can really say that if he or she joins he/she will blend in with the others easily!
Anybody agrees with this statement? I'd love to see what you think
I think Pekoms could be a Straw Hat if given a chance. He was betrayed and shot in the back by his own ally, Capone, and Tamago, who knows about what happened to his crewmate, didn't even give a shit at all. Plus, who knows if Big Mom still even cares about him at all at this point and Pekoms could be a outcast from his own crew. To me, the Whole Cake Island arc might give Pekoms some time to shine similar to Franky during the Enies Lobby arc. Or I could be making up a fanfic since Luffy said Zou was an "island full of Choppers", if so, then I'll be hibernating until Jinbei's return.

There have been some insanely unique characters since Jinbe was formally introduced like Ivankov but for the most part none of them stood out as Straw Hat material. Well stood out in a way that a huge portion of the fanbase could see it coming a mile away like Brook. Even with Vol 64's cover and title plenty of people said Jinbe stuck out like sore thumb. Even I hate that drawing of Jinbe! >:(
But when it comes to blending in there will be a large and loud portion of fans who will be against it for the better half of a decade. Even after the time skip, how many people would still complain they still don't see Franky or Brook as a true Straw Hat?
I think Jinbe blends in well enough already. If this isn't a Straw Hat, I don't know what is.
This is the face of a true Straw Hat.:ninja:
!
16 characters of I WILL CUT YOU!
If you know what's good for you, you'll vote for ME!
I bet Oda's going to say Jinbei is Hawaiian and I'm gonna be like:
!
I want a hot female ninja from Wano to join the crew.
Or at least that's what I would say if I gave a shit about a female joining the crew or not.:ninja:
No door is gonna stop this fishman from joining!
#JinbeiForNakama
I know you specified comics, but you seem to be implying she was not improved at any point. I must defend Lola because god forbid another mink post.

http://i.imgur.com/cQ1VMXX.pngIf Oda gave this kinda insane/fun personality to Carrot I'd be all about her.
Lola and Daffy Duck to me were the best characters in The Looney Tunes Show, that and I had a reason to like a character other than Bugs Bunny.
Maybe he already did? :ninja:
On another note, I wonder who the Japanese One Piece fanbase are rooting for.
I bet 5 bucks it's Carrot (and I only have 5 bucks).
what is this i don't even
No, we did not need Zelda reimagined as a gritty crime courtroom drama in modern day.
I'm ready to do it. Just tell me when to pull the trigger.
!
There are opinions. Everyone can have them. "I like this character, I want to see more of them." Great, absolutely no one can argue that, enjoy. Wapol is one of my favorite characters, I look forward to him being at the reverie.
So, do you think Wapol would fit through the Sunny's doors?
Sora for nakama!:ninja:
!
tbh this was a pretty good chapter and we learned a little more about the Germa 66 and have undeniable proof that BM and Lola are related! Plus, one of Sanji's brothers looks like Zoro and could possibly be why Sanji and Zoro never get along. I did notice that the chapter was kinda short, but I just learned that's because Oda's grandma just passed away and may she rest in peace.
I didn't believe Jinbe would join until after the war when he snapped Luffy out of his depression. That was the defining moment for me.
Those words made me cry buckets of tears and solidified Jinbei to me as one of my most favorite character ever in One Piece.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I'll just leave this here.:ninja:
I want to believe that the people that were against Jinbei was upset because he wasn't a female with a giant rack, but people can't be THAT thirsty and desperate for a another girl in the crew. Right?
I've read whale shark tastes like tofu as well. Hope you like the stuff.
I'd probably feel like I committed a crime if I feasted upon my favorite character. Then I think about Hachi making takoyaki to not feel as bad.
Since this first case is so simple, throwaway, and short enough that it could be beaten in the same amount of time it takes to watch the episode how they adapt the second case is going to be a much better indicator of the anime's quality.
That said however, what were they thinking in omitting the part where Sahwit throws his toupee in Phoenix's face?! That moment's iconic!
You read my mind almost word for word!
