Thread: Last Two Nakamates (vol. 5)

    Am I the only one that thinks Jinbe will still join, and that this is a Brook-like situation. Remember Brook agreed to join, but then he couldn't, he still had things to take care of(Getting his shadow). There is still plenty that Jinbe needs before he joins(Hopefully a stated dream, closure on the Sun Pirates etc.) and I think that this mini-arc with Caribou might intertwine with Jinbe, and clear it up.

    I think the most satisfying plot development would be for Jinbe's duty to lead directly into the Reverie, and the Straw Hats would help him out and crash Mariejois.

    I'm sure Oda can do it well and not make it feel like a repeat of Enies Lobby or Impel Down. Plus, he's totally building it up with Vivi being the main delegate from Alabasta and Wapol gaining political power again; even if we don't see the Straw Hats involved we should see the Reverie in some form.

    And that same guy even suggested that Keimi was training during the TS and he most likely had hidden fightning skills. And that once Luffy became PK, her brand of clothes would be the most renowned in the world. Oh God, that guy was so hilarious

    Despite people's hesitance, I think only a small minority really don't think Jinbe is going to join. The general consensus (and the manga) says, yes Jinbe will join. It really is just a question of when instead of if at this point.

    The question of when is just because there is a small chance that Jinbe could meet up later on in the story instead of at the end of the arc. It really just depends on what his duties are.

    Having Jinbe join the crew sooner rather than later will stop this whole "debate" which I'm assuming most want, but I'm still semi-entertained by it all.

    I believe I used the word creepy. And I never said anything about "no chance to join", in fact I think it's pretty likely.

    In any case from now on I'm going to go on about this one-legged giant character with a german accent I'm certain's going to join and react with hostility if anyone questions me.
    The games will never stop.

    I also don't understand the argument of "Jinbe will join half-way through the New World, so there is no confusion on his strength". First off, bullshit! He comes back and people will say "Did he get stronger as he came to the crew?" and such. I doubt that at some point Jinbe just stops getting stronger. He most likely didn't increase in strength over the timeskip because he had not challenges. We don't know how far he actually progressed in the New World, I'm guessing not that far.

    Besides, after getting a fight with Sanji it leads me to believe they are more or less equal in strength. What's wrong with a Monster Quartet? And don't bullshit me with "It's been like that since the beginning". If anything, Sanji's barely in the trio, this very chapter had a parallel of Luffy and Zoro being similar. We get Rayleigh, a guy similar to Zoro, just as we have Roger, a guy similar to Luffy.

    They don't have a talking bear yet :( Make that the next female so no one can fap over her with out feeling weird and we will have someone to ship Bepo with. Or make it a little girl with a logia, also making her non fappable. Actually add the grandmother role to the crew.

    You really think a furry or a kid is going to stop people? This is the internet. Also, if you worry about what other people are fapping to, then you'd better start planning ways to lower your blood pressure.

    Luffy usually helps each new crew member resolve whatever baggage they have left over when he meets them so that should happen soon and he'll be the 9th member.

    I'll use your post as an anchor to enounce my brand-new crazy theory. I've been thinking about it during today's Statistics lesson, so yes it's pure craziness.
    Caribou is still on FI. He's been planning to kidnap Shira since chap 630 or so. He manages to kidnap her but get caught during his escape, so he offers a deal to Neptune: his daughter's life for a way out to the surface. The SHs (and Jinbe) follow him and, when they resurface (giant plot twist), a HUGE marine fleet is waiting for them. They manages to beat the fleet and free Shira, BUT (another plot twist) one of the commanders, seeing Jinbe, says something like "lol, we got your fishy friends. Now they're were they belong to {Mariejoa [because most of them (maybe everyone) were slaves]}". Soooo... "duty"---->flashback (scar) ----> Big fraking Mariejoa blitz ------> Jinbe cries, Luffy saves the day ------> Aladdin releases Jinbe from his duty -----> Joining -----> NW.
    ...I'll leave the datails to Oda.

    I can't believe there are any people in the entire world that want a Marijoe arc right now.

    We have been stuck with the damn WG since forever. A GIANT Enies Lobby arc, then the huge Enies Lobby, and Marineford arc.

    WHY CAN'T WE MOVE TO THE DAMN NEW WORLD ALREADY. Why stay at the damn halway point longer. We have been at essentially the red line for around HALF THE ENTIRE SERIES length. Can we not finally get away from Enies Lobby, Impel Down, Marineford, Marjoe, Fishman Island. The world is HUGE and we have been stuck in the same little circle forever.

    I haven't been supportive about the Reverie happening now, and I've been thinking of it happening and Kuma being responsible for getting the Crew their, however I wouldn't be opposed to it happening like this.

    I'm not talking about the Reverie, but just Mariejoa. Reverie will probably happen later using the manga time (maybe a week or a month).

    Just take a look at this picture
    Spoiler:


    We reached Enies Lobby what like 375. We are currently at ch. 650. In almost 300 chapters we have moved like NOWHERE. And you want to spend another 50-100 chapters in this damn place?

    And again I repeat, like nearly half the manga. More if you consider the start of Water 7 as being it.

    You do know that the distance between the three marine facilities shown on that map isn't accurate, right?
    They're not that close together.

    Most of the fanbase who want a Marijois arc are the same who support Bonney for NN and hope that Bonney is there to join. Talk about fanfiction in its purest form!

    The whole reason of going through FI is to avoid passing through Mariejoe. Going there now after the SH went to FI makes no sense at all.

    I also don't understand the argument of "Jinbe will join half-way through the New World, so there is no confusion on his strength".
    Ditto. Do people really think Oda is having him join or not over something as comparatively trivial as "Monster Trio" or power levels in general? That he even pays it any thought at all besides "he won't be stronger than Luffy, Zoro or Sanji"? Whatever one may feel about it (I've made my opinion clear enough by this point) this is without any doubt a characterization and storyline choice by Oda. If he made him "too strong" now, that decision is secondary to whatever he wanted to do with Jimbei in the story or with regard to his personal character development.

    (Which just makes the idea of him popping up again 100 or whatever chapters later even more puke-inducing to me)
