About Me
Welcome to my page everyone!

I am a male born and raised in America, California to be exact (no I don't surf). Just living and loving life. My real name is Drew and I only started reading mangas last year, but got hooked quick... all thanks to One Piece!

I'm relatively new to blogging and such for pardon me for bad post or bad manners... still learning. Also working on this page slowly, but surely. Just got learn all the tricks to editing!

One Piece
One Piece is by far my favorite manga/anime. I have enjoyed all the arcs and think Oda has done an amazing job with this series. For those of you that for some reason believe other series to be superior, well your entitled to your own opinions I guess, but I'm not sure how you could think that. Anyways, in this section you can find some info my thoughts about One Piece. Hope you enjoy them and if you want you are more than welcome to comment in my talk.

Head over to the Main Page to check it out and join the party!

Theories/Predictions
Here are my theories and predictions for different aspects of One Piece. This section isn't complete at the moment, but I'm working on it!

New Straw Hats
This is a section where I discuss my guesses for new members of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Date of last edit: June 18, 2013

Really quickly, Jinbe (as the Helmsman) is going to join the crew eventually so I'm not involving him outside of this sentence. Enjoy!

I believe that the next new crew member will join after the end of the Dressrosa Arc. On top of that I think that we will see two new members after Dressrosa. I think one will join immediately after and the other will travel with them and join later on down the road (probably after the Yonko takedown and Wano). I also believe the one of the new crew members will already possess a devil fruit ability and the other will eat the Mera Mera no Mi after Luffy gets it from Doflamingo.

Cabin Boy/Girl - I think this is going to be the next spot on the ship that is filled. It would be really fun to add a young kid running around terrified all the time, but learning from the crew of the future Pirate King. Here are some of my top candidates:
 * Momonosuke - a heavy favorite and so far really the only viable candidate to step forward. He is a pervy young samurai that also has a really cool devil fruit that has the potential to be powerful, but he doesn't know how to use it yet. A young kid with star potential hanging with the Straw Hats sounds about right. He also has a very lofty like the rest of the crew; to be the Shogun of Wano Country. Then again, that also is an argument against him joining.
 * An unknown - I like this a little more than Momonosuke. I think ti would be pretty cool if someone like Ace or Shanks had a kid that comes out of the woodworks and joins the Straw Hats. It would be an awesome passing of the torch from Shanks to Luffy to Shanks kid or brother to brother to nephew/niece. I also think that this position will be filled by a girl. Imagine Ace's little daughter running around going berserk after accidentally eating the Mera Mera.

A Writer - This is more of a hope, but I think it has merit. I think it would be really cool for them to add someone who ends up writing down the journey and stories of the Straw Hat Crew so that when they discover the One Piece and achieve their dreams all will be able to read it.
 * Absa - the mysterious newspaper writer who managed to find out about both pirate alliances (Law/Luffy, Kid/Hawkin/Scratchman). He either has far reach or a very interesting DF (probably parmecia). The mysterious unknown is what makes him a candidate for me but you never know.
 * Sabo - Yes I know Sabo is "dead" and Oda confirmed this, but I still have a hard time believing it. I think he was saved by Dragon and has been with the Revolutionaries for the whole time. His dream was "To see the world and write a book about it"(Chap 585) which is the main reason why I think he would be such a great fit for Luffy's crew and this position. Time will tell, but I'd love to see Sabo return, Straw Hat pirate or not.

When I decide to figure out the other crew positions I will throw them up here but for now I will just discuss the other candidates:
 * Supernovas - I definetly think one of the supernovas will end up joining Luffy's crew. Just a matter of which one. Here are some of my favorites to join Luffy's crew.
 * Jewelry Bonney - By far my top choice and one of my front runners of all known characters to join Luffy's crew. Luffy's crew is lacking it's feminine side and Bonney would help that. Also, Bonney seems to be a long/mid -range fighter which the Straw Hats don't have a lot of. Most of them are close range fighters (melee and swordsmen). She brings some more diversity to the crew and is a strong pirate. I believe her crew will get destroyed in the upcoming Yonko overthrowing and that she will end up following Luffy. Plus shes attractive which seems to be a pre-requisite for female Straw Hats (see Nami and Robin).
 * Capone Bege - I hope he doesn't because he is as of this moment my least favorite supernova. He just seems to be a side story and his DF is kinda stupid. But he is an option because he is one of the weaker supernova and his crew could probably be wiped out easily.
 * Urouge- similar to Bege, but I like him a lot more. He is also a viable option for the same reasons as Capone.
 * Bartolomeo- seems to have some unknown interest in Luffy as seen in the recent chapters. Although, this interest is unknown at the moment. If it is admiration than I could easily see him joining, if he somehow proves that he is not such an ass as he appears. I don't think Luffy likes him very much at the moment after he beat Bellamy. If that were to change he could be a strong asset to the crew.
 * Caribou- I put him here because he always gets buzz as the next Straw Hat but I don't see that happening even with his change. Luffy and the crew don't like him which is already a big hit against his chances. He would have to do some pretty crazy to get them to accept him.
 * Rebecca - At the beginning of Dressrosa I liked her a lot, but I'm starting to think she isn't that great of a candidate anymore. The crew already has two swordsmen who are (presumably) much stronger than her and she doesn't seem to have any special abilities, but only time will tell. The crew could use another female.
 * Kin'emon - strong ally of the Straw Hats. However, I don't see them adding another swordsman to the crew even though he is pretty badass. I'd like to see him join the crew and if he does it will be after they visit the Wano Country.
 * Leo - I'd love to see them pick up Leo. He is awesome although I'm still pissed he didn't take off Robin's clothes. Outside of that, he brings something new to the team and is a powerful warrior plus has a pretty useful DF. I think he has high potential to join, plus it would be fun if they had him on the team.
 * Bellamy- the bromance in Chapter 710 is all I needed to see to add him to this list. Plus he has an awesome DF.
 * Mr. 2 Bon Kurei/Bentham - he will definitely join after he manages to escape from Impel Down.
 * Whitebeard Pirate Division Commander - I think one of the commanders will eventually band with Luffy and Marco makes the most sense to me. All of them are viable options but I think the ones with the best shot are Marco, Vista or Jozu. These three seemed to have expanded roles in the War of the Best which is most likely do to future appearances. I think some of the commanders will resurface in the upcoming battle against Kaidou and will join the Straw Hats shortly after.

This is a fun section that I have never really seen anybody talk about yet and that is the romantic relationships that are brewing in One Piece. Felt like this would be fun to talk about so I am adding it. The following are my predictions for how things play out on the One Piece battlefield of love.

Other Mangas/Animes
Here are the Mangas/Animes I currently read/watch. All the links lead to the Main Page for their Wiki. The following are my top nine favorite following One Piece which is my favorite Manga/Anime (in other words ranked 2-10). I only have currently running series in my top ten.

Naruto
(up to date) Ninjas, epic battles, cool powers, unrequitted love and humor. Right up my alley. Although the end seems to be approaching fast and Fairy Tail and Toriko are really making a case to steal this spot.
 * http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Narutopedia

Fairy Tail
(up to date) Dragons. Enough said.


 * http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

Toriko
(up to date) I salivate while reading every chapter and watching every episode. Food is probably my favorite thing in the world (besides beautiful women of course), and this series has got some delictable looking entrees. I wished I lived in this manga! I give thanks for the vast bounty this world has to offer.


 * http://toriko.wikia.com/wiki/Toriko_Encyclopedia

Beelzebub
(up to date) A thug turned into the future demon king's dad. Two hot chicks that battel over him ) although one doesn't realize she has a thing for him, but o'well. Love a series with good fights and plenty of humor.


 * http://beelzebub.wikia.com/wiki/Beelzebub_Wiki

Magi
(up to date) Really like this up and coming series. It has a lot of cool characters and an interesting storyline. Interested to see where it goes.


 * http://magi.wikia.com/wiki/Magi_Wiki

History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi
(up to date) If you didn't know by now I enjoy battle mangas. This one is all about marital arts and a young mans jounrey to be the strongest and capture the heart of the woman he loves and gain her scary grandpa's acceptance. Oh and defeat the other scary guy who happens to be her father. Poor guy.


 * http://kenichi.wikia.com/wiki/History%27s_Strongest_Disciple_Kenichi_Wiki

D. Gray Man
(up to date) Eh, I've read all the way through, but that was probably because I was caught up on everything else. It's alright, but obviously I've read better. Wouldn't be surprised to see this drop from my top ten if one of the other series I'm reading gains some traction.
 * http://dgrayman.wikia.com/wiki/D.Gray-man_Encyclopedia

Nisekoi
(up to date) The ultimate manga rom-com. Hahaha, this manga is so funny, looks like it just got accpeted for an anime adaption as well.


 * http://nisekoi.wikia.com/wiki/Nisekoipedia

Freezing
(up to date) Has potential. If you enjoy battles and hot chicks whose clothes are constantly being ripped off literally every chapter, then you will no doubt enjoy this manga. If constant female nudity annoys you, this one ain't for you.
