Last Two Nakamates (vol. 5)

[THE SEA]

Stop ruining good characters with stupid predictions people.

I don't think anything can happen in One Piece. But how does it make you better to say a character has no chance of joining when they could still go either way, as opposed to saying they will join for no reason. Anyways I get your point. I feel there are reasons he has a small chance at the moment that make sense to me. Maybe they aren't good reasons, but instead rather than saying I'm an idiot for suggesting there are a few things that put him apart from other characters, you could've adressed those.

Except he has no chance of joining and can't go either way.

NAME THEM.

Maybe they aren't good reasons,

because they are nonexistant.

Maybe if you would say why you think this asinine idea has any merit.

Instead of making up fanfic.

[Aaronrules380]

I don't say how saying a theory has a small amount of potential is backing it. And in my eyes, the reason I that I'd put him apart from other characters is that he seems to be a very unique case, being a fishman with a devil fruit. It means very little and I know that, but I just feel it makes him stand out. It also means there will probably be a story behind how he got his DF and/or why. Its also something I could see Luffy seeing as interesting. In retrospect it probably isn't that great a reason anyway

I don't understand which side of the Decken argument you're on

What ARE these reasons. All you've done is say you have reasons to believe he'll join, yet you never actually state them. It's as if it's some massive secret you need to hide from the community.

[THE SEA]

IIt means very little and I know that, but I just feel it makes him stand out.

That literally doesn't increase any of his chance. This's like you are just suggesting him for the sake of "I suggested it before it was cool."

[Aaronrules380]

I don't think he'll join. As I said in my first post on this topic, I just feel he has a better shot than anyone else we've seen in this arc so far. I honestly think if we get a new crewmate this arc, they probably haven't been introduced yet. Which I said in my first post on this topic. Anyway, I'll just concede that Dekken doesn't have any significant chance of joining at this time

[RobbyBevard]

Oh, he's a fishman with a devilfruit. Well you know, that negates the most useful feature he would have as a fishman crewmate. But by golly, it does make him quirky. So quirky Oda didn't even make a big deal about it.

I take it all back. He's a shoo in for new nakama, nevermind all the bastardly tendancies.

[Aaronrules380]

I never said it was likely. I never said it was going to happen. Every time I posted I tried to stress that I thought of him as a very small possibility. But appearently, everyone has a 0% chance of joining unless it becomes obvious they'll join. honestly, what the hell is the point of keeping this thread open if no one can do so much as suggest a character has any chance what so ever of joining without getting slammed with criticism just because there is no obvious pick at the moment

I've got the point. And I agree its signs you should be looking for. Hence why I NEVER said Dekken will be a crewmate. All I said is he has a small chance, and there are things about him which make him worth watching IMO. And there are no huge signs that say he can't and won't be a crewmate in my eyes either. And no, I honestly don't think Robin could have been predicted as a crewmate, even in hindsight, she just didn't seem like a totally ridiculous option in hindsight.

Come on. You are just repeating yourself constantly here.

[Aaronrules380]

I know I am. So is everyone else though. THis whole arguement has been me saying he has a remote possibility, and then everyone assuming I think he is a shoo in to join and calling me an idiot since he is being portrayed as a villain right now. Despite the fact that the first time I brought it up I said I didn't think he'd join and that I thought if anyone joined this arc, they probably haven't been introduced yet. Hell, I've even conceded that his chances are probably not significant to talk about. Anyway, I'm getting tired of this whole thing, so this is the last time I'll be posting relating to this specific arguement

[Havoc]

Why do people have to suggest every character with more than 1 page screentime as new crewmate? This choice is almost as bad as Caribou. And no love isn't a redeeming factor here.

[Reyairia]

It's not love, it's creepy stalkerish obsession.

Because otherwise it would be consistant new threads created rather then keeping them all to one thread.

Problem isn't that you are not allowed to predict the characters - but if you want to predict them then have the guts to follow through. If it is a pure shot in the dark guess then say it add it to your sig.

Otherwise people here will find umbrage and call you out. Do you "have" to defend your veiws or predictions - only if you want to, and to be fair some great debates have come from people being stubborn here.



I personally think that the Blue Ringed Octopus Drunk Swordsman is potentailly interesting - he is powerful - but seems happy to follow others and looks after his crew.

He is interesting - note not ZMOG NEXT NAKAMAKANAKAMA 4 SHUR.

Someone to watch for no other reason then he is interesting.

Letting others contribute their ideas to the thread discussion instead of continuing your defensive acts. The fact that you kept posting brought up the debate in the first place.

But, I know your situation since I've been in it before. In the end, nothing much was changed.

Edit: Ahahaha, it sucks coming in late...

[Nycprodigy]

IN defence of Dekken, while a horrible choice at the moment, he still has more of a chance than anyone else in this arc at the moment IMO. Being a fishman with a DF is a unique situation that might be fun to work with on the crew (like Chopper being an animal with a zoan rather than a human), and depending on the restrictions of his power, he could have interesting fights if it was combined with a fighting style. Furthermore he does seem to be eccentric and misunderstood. I do need to put the disclaimer that I do NOT think he will join, I'm just saying he makes more sense than anyone else in this arc to me. I still think if anyone will join this arc, the new crewmate has yet to be introduced, and will probably meet the Strawhats after they get in more serious trouble and are on the run, will probably hate or at least distrust humans at first but learn the SHs are different, and of course they'd have to be strong

YES! my prediction came threw. So fishman with devil fruits are basically humans who can breathe underwater? But then... his bubble has air but maybe he does not want to be too weak because of his DF? well unless shirohoshi or w/e can shrink i doubt that she will be joining unless she wants ... Shirahoshi vs San juan wol.... nah im not starting this

[Tahkyn]

The latest chapter just obliterated any chance that Decken and Jones will be joining Luffy's crew. Their outlook on life is completely contradictory to everyone else aboard the Sunny. The chances of a fishman Nazi and a lovesick maniac stalker fitting in with the Strawhat nine are zilch.

Right now, Caribou has a stronger showing than Decken. Caribou. Cursory glance at my sig image will tell you what I think of that "theory."

[Psychosis]

Potential candidates:

Caribou: 0%
Hodi Jones: 0%
Sirahoshi: 2%
Van der Decken: <1%

Now Stop it.

[Cyan D. Funk]

Potential candidates:

Caribou: 0%
Hodi Jones: 0%

Now Stop it.

Too generous on all accounts.
