General Strawhat thread

[TheCrystalShip]

Robin > Luffy > Usopp > Zoro > Robin.

If it happens. it's definitely not gonna be two pairs of people switched with each other.

Oh yeah, I forgot how it worked for a second.
Your theory sounds the most plausible.

EDIT: Although, it could also be...
Luffy > Robin > Usopp > Zoro > Luffy.
Assuming ">" means "soul to body".

what if in the end, one piece is one of those "it was always in you, right here" *points to heart* thingys? Wouldja b mad?? i would

Spoiler:

Someone should make an I spy thread where we upload pictures of those hidden hints oda puts in the anime. cuz I CANT POST NEW THREADS...

I believe there's already a sort of thread for the manga. Or even a website if I remember correctly (something about keeping track what's happening in One Piece; all the interesting stuff).

As for the anime, I don't know. I'd advise to search the manga or hidden clues, if you want to find some. That's Oda's creation after all.

Thanks! I'll try to look it up.

I'm liking the look of Monet, the samurai and Jinbei joining.

[Doke no Buggy]

I thought this was really cool. It's not really a predictions but it is an picture of a real life Fata Morgana, which is Nami's attack where she creates mirage copies of herself. I just thought it was cool that it was on the APOD website

I have a hunch that something bad is going to happen to jinbei before he officially joins the crew.
He'll be incapicitated at the very least and won't be able to travel w/ everyone once he's done with whatever he's doing.

I say this b/c the sh crew would be way too big once they hit double digits. Sure there's plenty of room for jinbei on the ship, but 9 crew members seems perfect.
4 joined in east blue and 4 more joined in the grand line.

Not that I wouldn't mind the SHs to have the worlds strongest fishman in their crew, but there's no room for another character.

I thought the same. That if Jinbei was meant to join he would have already. The fact that Oda "postponed" his joining must mean something. To me it would be anti-climatic if he's joining is delayed for too long. Oda is up to something with the Sun Pirate arc. I have a whole other theory about this in the theory thread but no one gave a response.

[RomanceDawn]

Lame logic.

If there was any reason for Jinbe not to join right away aside from the deliberate story implications was probably so the Straw Hat's can make waves in the new world without the aid of an ex warlord right away. I don't think it's necessary but at least that makes some sense.

Also what about Luffy's "10 men should do." Or Data book green saying we'll get at least 1 more crew mate in the new world?

What about being able to match black beards crew?

Jinbe being delayed for an epic struggle to clearly demonstrate that Luffy, Sanji, Zoro and the others are completely on his level makes a lot of sense to me.

[TheCrystalShip]

Jinbe may feel obligated to stay in Fishman Island until Luffy defeats Big Mom.

[Katzztar]

Jinbe may feel obligated to stay in Fishman Island until Luffy defeats Big Mom.

I agree, if he joined now then Big Mom could take her revenge on Fishman Island. Jinbe serving her is part of Fishman Island's protection, so far the only major threat to that protection was the failure of delivering the candy ... whihc Luffy took the blame for, so Big Mom spared FI as Luffy was the bigger annoyance to her. If Jinbe joined now before Luffy confront/defeat her, Big Mom could attack FI, so now he is still protecting his homeland.

From that color page where we saw all the supernovas after the timeskip, Bonney seems to have become a wanderer or maybe what appears to be a runaway and is evident by the cloak in which shes wearing. She hates Blackbeard, Akainu was abhorred at her "escape" from wherever dafuq, and she has apparently lost her entire crew. Oh plus she eats a lot and is a pretty girl-swan so plenty of lulz for both luffy and sanji over food. Ill just go ahead and scream Bonney 4 nakama!!!!!

Usopp in Luffy's body because remember both of them had the same first bounty.
Luffy in Robin's body because he always gets the hot girls.
Zoro in Usopp's body because he does not use ranged weapons making him weaker however usopp's body should be strong enough now to carry the swords so he can give Usopp his weapon!
Robin in Zoro's body to support Zoro+Robin pairing lol.

[Drazgoon]

i'd agree with luffy in robin's body if it wasn't for the fact that sanji got nami's body, there was always a purpose to make sanji jealous without willing to do so but now there's no real point, i'd rather see luffy trying to snipe or use swords, and i'd support ussopp in luffy's body to try and master his abilities in the short gap they'd have to test them out, and i think ussopp would enjoy being the strongest for a while :P. i like the robin/zoro duo, i think swords would suit her well. and zoro creating hands to slap people instead slashing them.

What about Luffy claiming he wants at least 10 members? and the fact that he still asks every interesting person (or animal) that they come across to join the crew. I think its pretty well established that there will be 1 more crew member.

PS and the fact that the Green Databook says that there will be a new crewmember. case closed.

That and if Jinbei was with the SH's when they faced Big Mom his presence would have his crew automatically change sides - remember his crew being with BM - so rather then have to deal with that issue - make the SH's go defeat BM - his Sun Pirates crew returns to FI and Jinbei free to join the SH crew.

I do agree somewhat, it's just I don't see how Jinbe's guys could go back to FI after they deal with BM if they are not able to now. I imagine a few of them have bounties at least.

At least according to Jinbe they would protect the island if they weren't wanted, what would change later? I'm really interested in how Oda handles this, if they do end protecting FI(assuming it still exists) I can't wait to see how it's explained.
