General & Others Next Straw Hat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

[Devilbat]

What bet would you like?

Just keep in mind that I'm wearing a loser avi now, something like that could be yours in a couple of months

Bonney is an arc princess like Law was

Yeah, I get a similar vibe!
At this point I'm trying to predict who is going to leave the Egghead alive and if SHP will escape or @CoC: Color of Clowns is right and this is NW Sabaody!

What was the bet?

 

[Sigran101]

I don’t hate her. I just find her bland and she doesn’t add anything. No strength, no abilities, no role, she used to just worry all the time. And she is an honorary member and she probably will travel again with them.
@Sigran101 help me out here

I also don't hate Vivi, I just think it's inane to think she'll join the crew when she is obviously meant to rule Alabasta, has no role or dream, nothing of value to add to the crew, and is a non combatant. I like her as a character, but Vivi for nakama is based on nostalgia for pre timeskip and nothing else.

 

[Rambles]

@Devilbat It's cute, though, your avi.

 

[Monkey D Al]

I feel like we had this exact conversation before

Can be. We are talking in circles here anyway. Just to kill time.

 

[Bisoromi Bear]

What bet would you like?

I am asking for you.

Vivi is kinda the vanilla flavour of SH candidates. Probably why she doesn't have haters aswell.

She's way too weak tho

what does vanilla flavor mean?

 

[Devilbat]

What was the bet?

Remember @Mr. Reloaded was a devil bunny?

Spoiler: Bunnyloaded!

It was a dare from me and @Bepo D. Bear😈

@Devilbat It's cute, though, your avi.

Aw, thanks, @Mr. Reloaded was nice to me, I also love it! Not sure what he has in mind for you though :)
I have decided that I would request you to write a "SHP travelling the seas" kinda oneshot, because I miss their interactions. Since Sanji is my fav character, maybe let's have SHP try out new foods? Or it could be something else, but as long as it's SHP-focused, I'll be happy. I know it's pretty vague, but I think it's better not to limit your imagination - I'm sure and you'll think of something that really inspires you and it will be an amazing piece!

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

So is Carrot

 

[Devilbat]

So is Carrot

Okay, now I need to see Vivi vs Carrot thread

 

[CoC: Color of Clowns]

Falacy. We have no idea what Vivi's current power level is, and she was comparable to pre-time-skip Nami and Usopp in fights. As a 14-year-old Vivi fought for two years to gain an officer position in Baroque Works, a criminal organization operating on the Grand Line.

We need to see her fight to judge her strength, no idea why people keep saying this BS and pretending the time-skip never even happened.

Like, an 8-year-old took over a small battallion of a Yonkou's army by pulling millet-dumplings out of her cheek.

If ya'll think Tama can survive a Yonkou crew but Vivi can't, you just don't want Vivi to join the crew.

If Oda is fine with two 8-year-olds going up against a Yonkou crew, then he has no problem placing Vivi in positions to succeed against strong enemies.

Weakness does not keep people from joining the crew, TAMA GOT AN INVITE FROM LUFFY AS LONG AS SHE LEARNS NINJITSU.

And Oshiruko-Flashback-Cursed Tama did WAYYYYY more in Onigashima than Usopp (damn you Oda).

Is Usopp stronger than Tama? Yes. Is Vivi stronger than Tama? Yes. Weakness does not prevent people from joining the Straw Hats.

LUFFY INVITED GAIMON TO JOIN THE CREW, A MAN TRAGICALLY STUCK IN A TREASURE CHEST.

Just keep in mind that I'm wearing a loser avi now, something like that could be yours in a couple of months

At this point I'm trying to predict who is going to leave the Egghead alive and if SHP will escape or @CoC: Color of Clowns is right and this is NW Sabaody!

I'm still where I've been. York goes to Blackbeard, Lilith goes to the Straw Hats (oh fuck I forgot about Lilith, gotta go change a theory, LOL).

I have changed a few things, though: Mother Flame to WG, and the Seraphim get split between Blackbeard and the Straw Hats. S-Snake is loyal to Luffy and broke her programming by listening to him, so, S-Bear will be loyal to Bonney and break his programming for her. S-Hawk and S-Shark get taken by the Blackbeard Pirates (Laffitte and Catarina appearing as Saturn). The other three are off island so they stay with the WG, giving them a small edge.

Kuma shows up, takes Bonney's memories of him from her, and gives them to S-Bear so that S-Bear can defend Bonney/live on as Kuma (the last bit of programming Vegapunk created. This is why he held Kuma's memories: so that Kuma could someday return and put them into S-Bear to revive Kuma).

S-Kuma teleports the Straw Hats/Punk Records (hell, maybe all of Egghead Island) to Wano for Act 4 (WHEEEEEEE!) or Elbaf (also WHEEEEEEEE!).

Sabaody had Kuma teleport the Straw Hats to different islands while trying to escape Kizaru and the WG's wrath.

Egghead will end with Kuma teleporting an island to a country made up of different islands, Wano.

 

[Rambles]

I am asking for you.

You are asking for me? Like in marriage? This is a very big step and definitely should be very well thought through.

My proposal I could agree on:
- two kids
- three cats and a dog
- prenuptial agreement
- yearly vacation to the Maldives
- family-car is a Touran
- rent is paid by me, you will cover the remaining expenses
- one day of the week is family day (no internet!)

Is that acceptable?

Ah, now I understand. First was Reloaded and now it's your turn.

I think Reloaded would not chose something that bad. They are nice.

Sanji, huh? Should it be funny or sad or ... - what kind of atmosphere do you want?

Vivi was weak and is weak. Even if she got stronger she did not become strong enough.

@Bepo D. Bear you hear that? @Mr. Reloaded is nice until the backstabbing

Sanji, huh? Should it be funny or sad or ... - what kind of atmosphere do you want?

I would go for a slice of life (as much as it is possible in the magical world with Haki and devil fruits). An atmosphere.... a little funny, a bit of heartwarming coziness, a bit of light sadness, a bit of hope for the future, but most importantly everyday routine friendship display. Like you can see it in little things. Maybe they explore a new island and Nami with Chopper make sure they tag along with Zoro so that he won't get lost. Maybe Brook is playing Robin's favourite piece of music and suddenly Jinbe shares a memory connected with that piece. I dunno, you decide :)

 

[Phantasm]

I was hoping Smoker would show up before things got too chaotic and he'd side with the Strawhats against and help protect Vegapunk, but that's seeming a lot less likely now that Saturn has shown up.

It's starting to feel like there are no good candidates left for the crew outside of Vivi who doesn't have the strength to take on end game opponents like the BB pirates.

 

[Warback]

So is Carrot

Carrot was holding off against a Yonko commander.

Oda can write whatever he wants with Vivi, he obviously can just write that she's been training and he's at least Ussop level or above, but that would just sound like shitty writing.

That's why so many people want to put a DF on her to compensate the diference specially a logia

Btw i'm not against Vivi joining, she's one of the 3 that i would like to join, but honestly (hot take here) she's as strong as Robin is without a fruit.

I think Robin is basically just a normal human without her DF and so i can totally see Vivi being "strong enough" if she got a broken DF.

In fact my prefered choice would be ... Kuma's fruit, which is broken.

There is an old theory that monet fruit reborn on nami's tree. Vivi could have the snow logia

That's exactly what I want: Vivi getting a Fruit that turns her feelings into actual power fits her so well.

I think base Robin is stronger than Vivi, though, at least in Alabasta.

Pell was a powerful Zoan who could easily take out fodder, and Robin destroyed him.

Keep in mind that any damage done to Robin's artificial limbs is impacted on her original limbs. Robin's Fruit doesn't give her a ton of force, she's just strong, capable of easily cracking a grown man's neck with her arms.

Really excited for Vivi and Robin to meet up again, it's going to be interesting seeing them interact.
