Jinbei‘s role wasn’t an asspull, there was very good reason to think that a helmsman would join the crew since Jaya There‘s a Luffy counterpart, a Usopp counterpart, a Chopper counterpart, we found out in a databook that Lafitte was a Nami counterpart. There was some question of whether the...

Caribou (unless he’s lying) seems to be a deliberate foil for Barty, so he wouldn’t become a Titan Commander, who are the main Blackbeards. I think it’s much like the Strawhats. All the Strawhats were established pre-skip, even Jinbei. All the main Blackbeard’s are and will be the ones who...

Kizaru is mostly funny to me because I can remember thinking that Kuzan would have made a good SH when he was revealed to have left the Marines back in FI.

Neither. Kuma surviving, as looks all but certain, kills Bonney’s chances.

I think if I had to pick I would still say no, she won’t join and she’s the arc princess. (Total aside, but really, the arc princess role existed well before Vivi and Coby really was the first one. Even Zoro has been an “arc princess.”) But she’s definitely worth talking about, and that’s a...

I think Bonney’s the best 50/50 we‘ve seen. Can go either way and neither would surprise me. Pros: excellent flashback with a mentor figure that’s been heavily involved in the series for a long time Easy potential for a dream that requires her to travel with Luffy to Laugh Tale Unique design...

I personally felt very gaslit by morons trying to tell me that Carrot was an important character who was being set up to be a Strawhat despite all the evidence in front of my eyes saying otherwise.

Zoro and Usopp‘s dreams have nothing to do with Luffy’s. Mihawk and Yasopp have already achieved them and neither have been associated with the Pirate King. As characters, they have decided that it is only through following Luffy on his journey that they will achieve their dream, but that...

Never has so much time been spent on a character who has done so very little. The worst thing to ever happen to this topic. Anyway, Kuma’s a no for me because Oda just told us that Jinbei‘s animal was a bear, which would be a very strange move if he was planning on soon adding a guy whose...

Yamato’s in a reasonably simple situation. She wants to join the crew She has an open invitation to join the crew She can’t come until Wano is safe without her. That means she will be a Strawhat. Only question is when. Cause at this stage, Wano being safe may well be a grand finale, war is...

Look man, One Piece ain’t that serious and this place sure as hell is not. I‘m sorry you are going through some irl stuff and do hope you‘ll sort that stuff out. I don’t have or want any lapdogs, and never have done. If you’re going through some stuff with your friends on here that’s a shame...

Well put it this way If for the last 150 chapters Vivi is with the Strawhats, Yamato is on Wano or with Momo Then in the last 2/3 chapters it swaps around, Vivi goes back to Alabasta but Yamato (maybe with Tama) goes sailing with the crew To me, Vivi’s the real Strawhat. Cause she’s the one...

Not the same thing. The most Shirahoshi has ever said is that she wants to go on a trip to a forest with Luffy. Which will happen. He’s never invited her to join and she’s never said she wants to. Momonosuke could become a Strawhat anytime he wants (same as Kine’mon), but he doesn’t want to...

No shit that Usopp’s sniping moment like fifteen years afterwards was more impressive. Doesn’t change the fact that at the time, it was portrayed well. At the time, Pell was the strong warrior archetype of the arc. Can’t talk shit about bias when you are still pathetically digging on to “Vivi...

Nope, I’m not saying Usopp is useless. I’m laughing at your continued absolutely pathetic attempts to pretend that Vivi was fodder in face of all the evidence to the contrary. She got beat by fodder! Actually, she did better than Nami and Usopp did at that time Never beat anyone! Beat the guys...

Someone tell Usopp sniping is no longer a skill and his services are no longer required, given the only person he has beaten in the past decade have been literal children through sniping. As for Kuzan- not a chance in hell a Strawhat will fight him. Of the current crew, he’s too intrinsically...

Vivi’s not going to fight a Blackbeard captain. It’s the ten Strawhats vs the ten real Blackbeard Pirates. Kuzan is obviously a special case of his own. In the same way that Vivi is obviously a special character who is the closest thing to another Strawhat we are going to get.

They were obviosuly stronger than the group of millions that allegedly “beat” Vivi. What happened to Vivi, Nami and Usopp was the same as what happens to Luffy and Zoro when they need to run away from gifters. At the end of the arc, all of them still beat actually relevant opponents with a...

Ussop and Nami run away together, needs saved, later beat a strong opponent (Usopp as a team, Nami solo) to prove themselves. Vivi stays and fights, beats a load, needs saved, later beats two strong opponents solo to prove herself. This apparently means Vivi was a weakling.

If we’re talking about the bit where she was surrounded in Rainbase then we also have to say Nami and Usopp did even worse. Vivi beat up a load solo and was surrounded before Pell intervenes. Nami and Usopp ran away crying and had their hands up in the air surrendering before Zoro saved them.
