User blog comment:Ricizubi/It will be Shirahoshi, if this doesn't convince you even one bit that I give up/@comment-1871214-20110521085435

There are two dreams I see possible for Shirahoshi: the dream to see the outside world (because seeing the inside of a tower for 10 years isn't really fun) and step in her mother's shoes (mermaid pun, lol) and go fight racism like her mother did. Coincidentally, those two dreams could be blent together and she'd be Strawhat potential.

For a unique figting-style, she could have one. We only know she can (unconsciously) call for giant Seakings, which is a real power. Unless, like DancePowderer said, she has to fight on par with New World pirates, who can slaughter a Seaking in no time. Arguments for this are: VA's are on par with NWP's. Simple as that. And since Momonga can kill a Seaking in 6 seconds, so can McGuy. Yet if she is so powerful (which I don't think), she could be a great asset for the crew.

Here it comes, size does matter. A guy towering over Brook is considered huge, but someone whose pelvis is as big as a normal sized person is quite extraordinary one. She just doesn't fit on the Sunny, except in the fishtank. But then she'd get company from a shark, and that's uncool.

I'm sorry man, but Shirahoshi won't join the crew, it 1 + vs. 2- it's not going to happen.

(And if you think my arguements are invalid, I'm still no idiot because I did not waste a possible two hours of my life trying to convince others of a biggie-sized mermaid trying to fit in with pirates.)

Sir, good day.
