User blog comment:The credo/SHE is Kinemon: The Mulan of One Piece/@comment-5501670-20121010223435

yea i kind of doubt that kinemon is a girl, he would of been drawn a little more femine in some of the features like the eyes and lets face it, no girl yet in the series has had small boobs unless they are a child or old so that would be hard to cover up easily. the idea of the next arc leading to wano country is kind of cool though. maybe kinemon invites them to to repay them for helping to save his son. zoro getting a new sword is possible too because if he goes to a land with a bunch of samuries theres bound to be some good swords but something would have to happen to his wado ichimonji.. maybe some relevance to the curse, zoro might break it cutting something and its time just came.. maybe it falls in the sea during a fight, who knows but thats some ideas. another point if the new nakama is indeed a girl who knows there could be a mulan (more specifically hua mulan) type story involved, oda uses references, history, names etc form around the world so why not that kind if vibe. she would definitely have to help the straws hat tho so luffy could see how powerful she is because luffy only asks weird people/animals to join off the bat. last point maybe the upcoming villian have this arc is doflamingo.. something bigs seems to be planned since his apperance.. i have a strong feeling something pertaining to him is going to be apart of the upcoming arc.. lets see what happens in the upcoming chapters.
