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.

I am aware of your statements, and like I said, I "presume" it's water, simply because it wasn't acidic, looked blue (to me), and flowed with little to no viscosity.--Jety Lefr

It should be a female apprentice. I mean every pirate crew need to have someone ho does the chores but also to carry on the will of the crew.

Another person's ideal straw-hats crew- I think it's time for another type of creature rather than human to join the Straw-hats crew. There has only been one- Chopper (Franky doesn't count, he still IS human) and i think it's time for more. I would say a fishman/merman. I mean, most of current Straw-hats crew is already stronger than most of them, so it would be ideal for them to be on the crew as he/she won't affect the straw-hats strength. There is no need for him/her to have a DF power because he/she would already have a unique power.

I thin the next member should not be a fighter but a Strategic for the Straw-hats crew. Someone who is smart because well, there's only two (Nami, Robin). Nami uses it for Navigation purposes and Robin, well doesn't uses it at all. The straw-hats crew almost dies at almost every single fight and so, a Strategic will be the best in this case. Chopper can be a little useless on helping someone because he personally also almost dies in fights. To avoid all the ruckus, they might need a Strategic who is excellent in coming up with a well-made plan to defeat the enemies. Ofcourse, Luffy would never follow it but you know, it would be a help for everybody else!


 * A strategist would be great but wouldn't it take the fun out of everything? The SH Pirates surely are reckless and that is what makes the manga fun. They just somehow make it through by sheer luck. That is One Piece's charm. With a strategist telling them what to or what not to do, predicting everything, would somehow remove the manga's element of surprise. Well, maybe it depends on how Oda writes the story, but a strategist would most likely be a no-go. Lets say it does happen, I think it would be best that that member becomes a villain who tries to mislead the Strawhat pirates at every turn but they still slip by somehow and makes through whatever that evil strategist plots. This way, the element of surprise will be maintained and the plot will remain interesting and funny. (Kinda like with Vivi when she was still Ms. Wednesday?) KitsuneFX 04:42, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

I've always wanted a Fishperson or a Merperson to join. I'm thinking that it would be a guy would be most likely...I just cant picture another girl besides Robin and Nami (unless Vivi comes back somehow) He'd probably have some type of weapon, like a harpoon, trident, or some crazy sword that matched him --like Arlong did. If he was a Fishman, he'd be able to sling water at crazy-real speeds at high pressure (like we've seen before), and if he was a carnivourous fish species he'd be able to bite them. So they'd have a pretty strong guy, but what would he do on the ship? One thing that keeps popping into my head that they are probably going to need in the New world is some type of motor-like attactment for the Sunny (I think someone mentioned a paddle-wheel?) Maybe then they would need a Pilot---someone who steers the ship, and is pretty fast at doing it. Also, the Minister of the Left mentioned to Nami that her log-prose wont work in the New World...maybe the new one is really complex, and she'd need a pilot to assist her, because you might have to manually move the ship around alot at short notices instead of just sailing in a straight line until you reached your island.
