Forum:What will the next strawhat crew member's fighting style be? Kind of Devil fruit or other?

What do you think the next strawhat fighting type will be?
What do you think will be the new strawhats' specialty be? Whether Zoan, Paramecia, or Logia type devil fruit user, or a weapon or body type fighting style?

Please talk abut your perfect scenarios.

It is only my personal fantasy, but I believe the next member should be the cabin boy, and a Logia type user. The proclaimed weakest logia, should belong to the newest strawhat crew member. I think of it as a kind of "breeze breeze" fruit that allows himi to turn into air, avoiding damage, and flying. He should also to some small extent, due to ,lack of proper training, be able to manipulate the air into weapons for him to use. Naturaly, the colder the air, the sharper the weapon! Aside from these charactoristics, My perfect addition would have a deep understanding of the applications to devil fruit powers, and thus be a very useful member to the other devil fruit users. In particular, I imagine him telling Buggy how to become a neer unbeatable pirate (possibly new younko?).

Please discuss your own ideas. --Jety Lefr

i doubt they will get any logia types it would be to powerful the member would have to be weaker than luffy, zoro, and sanji i say just because it would screw with the way the ship works and cause tension -aba1

But the whole point of my story, is that even though it's a logia type power, it's the weakest one. He would also have to be fairly new to his powers to make it work with the story as well as possible, so i see your point. --Jety Lefr

Another possibility that I've been thinking up as of recently, is a sort of empty empty no mi. Imagine a large barrel. you can SEE the inside of it, drop it and GRAVITY affects it, but put your hand in, and you can't touch anything because it's empty. The empty empty no mi is a devil fruit that allows the user to pass through solid objects at will. Restrictions on this cause the user to still be pulled downward without some sort of base or physical contact to be "phasing through" or standing on. I thought this would be a cool and user ability for the strawhat crew. I doubt Oda would use such a thing in the crew, but I think it's cool anyhow. They would probably have to fight free hand to make the best use of the powers of empty empty no mi. A back story for the new crew member could be one of two I think would be good story's, and Oda-esque, are these. 1- The newest member is originaly a member of Kid Law's pirate crew, but for some reason doesn't truely wish to be there. Be it enslavement, grudge against Kid, or obligation, this has potential for a great story arc. 2- The newest member is a marine/ ex-marine. (Possibly Coby? "unlikely") Didn't think through a plot, but has interesting points. Please feel free to add to the forum, compliment my ideas, or rip them a new one.--Jety Lefr

The next one shouldn't have a DF power at all IMO. So he or she (hopefully a she) should use a weapon or body type fighting style.Chopperdude 07:02, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

please elaborate on your prefered or dream nakama... (I also think it's time for another girl)

I am voting on poseidon(a dude with water/sea devil fruit, only one that isnt weakened by the sea), they got everything in their crew, they just need a greek god now :)

I think a water /sea devil fruit would be over powered, and I have idea that some already ate a sea-sea fruit.. - Polymathes

Aw come on, just think about it. How cool would it be to have a sea devil fruit user? I mean a hot shot with DF powers tries to fight him and he just creates still water out of thin air around that guy and BAM, the fights over. Than stab em with his trident.

While Honey Queen from the second movie had the Toro Toro no mi, which is a liquid based logia power, presumably water, I don't think that even she would be immune to the sea or sea stone. But I like this idea on a trident fighting member who has a fighting style surrounding water. Makes me think of a fishman or mermaid that uses fishman karate. Keep giong with ideas!--Jety Lefr

Liquid doesn't necessarily mean its the "H2O" fruit my friend. Take captain gasperade(or something like that) from the 4 th movie, he had a syrup fruit power(I believe it was a logia since imune to all attacks and reconstructed his body and used it to change into weapons/armor) which was liquid. Also the chick who had the liquid powers from the second movie was a pinkish liquid. Water would be clear or ocean blue color.
