Forum:New Straw Hat member(s)

Great Pirate D: I started this to continue the cluttered members thread. I have read and participated in the other members discussion and I felt it was time to have one that isn't packed. There are rumors floating around saying that a new member will be a former enemy and there are also people saying a female, a person of a different species, a non-devil fruit eater, and new crew roles are needed. Also the fighting ability/ battle match-ups,especially with the black beard pirates, of the existing crew members and the new members have been discussed. I will address all of these to the best of my ability. Someone in a previous thread noticed a pattern with the members of the crew male-female-male-male(Zoro Nami Ussop Sanjib/ Chopper Robin Franky Brook) with this pattern in mind I will give my thoughts on who I think the next 4 members will be. First Kinemon, he's strong, he has chemistry with the straw hats, and he is a samurai with an honor code which will have him feeling the need to repay his debt to the crew most likely in the form of helping the crew in their journey. Some people are against him because he is a swordsman and uses fire, white beard had at least two fire users(Ace and Marco) and multiple swordsmen plus he would be more of a tailor and could form a team with Nami and Robin for espionage since he can make clothes/disguises. Second the female, I think it will be Vivi some people argue that the problem with adding a new member is the aren't aware of the 2 year training but it was shown that Vivi knew something was off meaning she could be aware of the gap in some way, she was already asked to join the crew and wanted to but her country needed her more but it's been to years her country is doing better from what we see from the cover pages and the Revivere is happening soon and that would put her close to the crew and I don't necessarily think any crew members would eat the mera mere no mi with the exception of Vivi either because it grew back in Alabasta, because it grows in hot places aka a desert, and she ate it meaning the one Doflamingo has is fake or someone wins the mera mera no mi and gives it to Luffy and he gives it to Vivi because if it wasn't for her he wouldn't have been able to meet Ace again. The first and second are in order third and fourth not. Third Gin, he said he would see them again on the grand line, the new world is still the grand line just the second half he would fit the role of old enemy and surviving the first half of the grand line by himself would put him some where near monster trio level strength. Fourth Jimbei this is obvious he was asked to join said he had to do some stuff but would join after he finished it. The business he had to take care of was breaking ties with Big Mom in a way that doesn't endanger Fishman Island but with her focusing her angry on the Straw Hats and not the island he can join sooner. Some people say he is to strong to join but to that I say grow up this is the New World and they'd are planning on going against the Emperors who's main members strength are respected or even feared by the admirals so Jimbei as an ex-Warlord isn't over kill he is necessary. With these four they add a female, at least one non devil fruit eater, an old enemy, a member of a different species(which they already have in Chopper), new crew positions helmsman and tailor, and more fighting power.(GPD) Great Pirate D (talk)

Those that join the Straw Hats have a tragic past and a goal that can be achieved in the future with the help of others. 21:16, February 23, 2014 (UTC)

Great Pirate D: The second part of your statement isn't so sent in stone because chopper joined for friendship not a future goal. His goal to become the worlds best doctor formed later so he can be helpful to luffy. And the and 3 of the 4 have tragic past for sure and Kinemon probably has one to. Great Pirate D (talk)

My prediction is the SH will have 2-4 more ppl join. 2 if Luffy just wants to stop @ ten members excluding his self or 4 if the pattern continues. Of those new members 99.99% sure one will be Jinbe quite possibly after Luffy's bounty has gone up a little more but maybe before then. Also I feel like they need @ least one more female, preferably strong (comparable to zoro & sanji) & a logia user. Oda could kill 2 birds with one stone & have it be a female logia but that's semantics. Other than Jinbe, the female, & a logia anybody else thats very interesting is good. As for postions they could use members for: they need a helmsman which Jinbe fits, they might get a cabin/chore boy which if we find out whats up with Dolfy & Momo he could fit that, & a scout could be a potenially nice addition but @ the same time Luffy just kinda runs head first to where ever they go so unless the scout either has eagle eyes, can fly, or just move faster than Luffy then that person might never have a chance to actually do their job.420pirate (talk) 01:59, March 5, 2014 (UTC)

I believe that rebecca may join for she fits most requierements. She is friendly with luffy, shecis a female which is lacking in the crew, she has battle experience since she has been a gladiator or a while, plays a huge role in her joining arc, has a common enemy with the straw hats (DonQuoxote family), she is a princess so she does add to the different varieties of the straw hats like a cyborg,talking reindear and skeleton, she has a trajic past after having her mother killed being, raised by a toy soldier and having the entire country hate her and her dream is to have freedom and whas more free than a pirate. Jimbe most definitely should join for his business with big mom should be settled by now for big mom is currently attacking the straw hats ship and sanji alone as strong as he may be is not capable of taking down a yonko at this point.He is one of the the few people luffy has a reason to owe his life to and he deserves to be apart of the future pirate kings crew.Vivi also promised luffy and i honestly would love to see her post time skip if jimbe joins she should to for both promised to join some point in the future, but she must atleast have a devil fruit or be as strong or stronger than nami or she would just slow them down. Sabo would be great but he is already a revoulutionary so he may be jus like ace tied down to their new (family).An unkown person should join for the straw hats need a new member for conquering the new world with nine people would be hard i believe 3-5 more should join.

so this is my thoughts on the straw hats:

Luffy - captain

zoro - swordsman

nami - navigator

usopp - sniper

sanji - chef

chopper - doctor

robin - archaeologist

franky - shipwright

brook - musician

rebecca/viola - lookout

jimbe - helmsman

vivi/sabo/new person -  depends

momo - cabin boy

kinemon - tailor or disguiser (they have two swordsmen one sword style and three sword style he uses two sword style a great addition)

I believe someone sould get the mera mera no mi like vivi or sabo because the straw hats should get a logia df user.Hayate corbin (talk) 03:02, March 18, 2014 (UTC)
