    General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

    Yamato read the thing cover to cover over 20 years. That info is way too powerful. They'll probably get some clue to the last Road Poneglyph, but that's it, I hope. With Yamato around, that endgame info would be way too tempting. I offered to leave you alone. If you want to continue, it's fine...

    General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

    The journal is one of the biggest red flag against Yamato. It's got untold details about the world, info about Laugh Tale and the One Piece itself. And there is no way Luffy is gonna help himself to those kind of spoilers. He didn't take Zeff's Grand Line log book, and he refused to listen to...

    General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

    She hasn't even been to the New World, which makes the Grand Line look like paradise. She hasn't had the pressure put on her to improve like the others had because of Kuma and everything from the war. Even Nami and Usopp improved their battle capabilities in that time. I do think Vivi will be...

    General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

    Oh wow, do you have a chip on your shoulder or what? Who exactly do you think you are, acting like I'm spitting all over your opinions when I've been perfectly civil with you? You even want to know what I have to say, or shall I leave you to your unobstructed fantasies?

    General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

    You might like Yamato, and he's made a strong impression, ticks off a lot of boxes. But he doesn't give me the impression of being a character planned very far in advance, which is one advantage Carrot has in her favor. Oda knew she would be in the war, and planted her into the story and the...

    General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

    I'm not against Yamato as a character. But with Jinbe already joining in Wano, someone else joining will already be unprecedented. I just don't don't think we'll get three at once, and between Carrot and Yamato, I think Carrot has more buildup behind her. And Vivi's ship sailed a long time ago...

    General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

    Fair points, but there's a reason why the WCI scene stands out. With Yamato and Franky, Luffy is asking them because they're allies in the best position to help. The scene where he's calling to each of his crew members and Carrot by name is powerful because he's affirming his need for all of...

    Oh, I haven't even started arguing against Yamato. My only point was, if you're gonna use the WSJ cover as a point for Yamato and a mark against Carrot, there's precedent that suggests the opposite is just as likely. But I'm ready to throw down the gauntlet if that's what you want.

    General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

    Like Prochief said, all those covers besides the first with Nami have the new SHs includes only when they joined. For example, Chopper's first cover is the issue with chapter 152, the chapter he joins. And you said it yourself, Jinbe has yet to be on a single WSJ magazine cover. Didn't hurt his...

    The cover of Weekly Shonen Jump, they said. Not the OP volumes or colorspreads. Otherwise, Carrot would have been on quite a few.

    General & Others Next Strawhat Crew Members and the Grand Fleet

    This sounds quite a bit like the arguments used to dismiss Jinbe all those years ago. He had a personality of loyalty, cool-headedness and determination, but plenty of folks said he wasn't dynamic or interesting enough to be one of the Straw Hats. Likewise, Carrot is passionate, excitable...

    ONE PIECE MAGAZINE VOL.10 (16 of September)

    My wife helped me translate the updated sketch and all the info about Jinbe, and for good measure we went back to Databook Green to translate those relevant pages. I might add the text to the Jinbe pictures sometime, but here you go: From “Saigou” to “Jinbe": The History of the First Son of...

    News Volume 97 coming on September 2020

    That's a very strong "maybe". My wife does translation as a favor to me, but anything bigger than a very occasional chapter might be too much to ask. If there's something that seems interesting in there, we'll try.

    Yep, all the way 'til the crew leaves Wano. We'll see. I was a Jinbe supported since the war, too.
