General & Others 13 straw hat theory

#22
Because it never aligns this way ever. Everytime people argue count of certain villains, matchups are never even complete or perfect. Kaido had 9 main subordinates and only 6 of them were actually defeated by Luffy's crew.


Given that we've been at 10 people for years, I highly doubt anyone else is actually joining anymore. Its too late outside of direct allies.
The only way Oda could maybe make 13 SHs work is if Bonney, Yamato, and Loki join at the end of Elbaf, and even then that wouldn’t be great writing imo

Because guaranteed the reason why people compare these crew/subordinate counts in the first place is wish fulfillment on fights. It always happens, everytime a count is brought up. Blackbeard's 10 titanic captains. Saint Saint Shanks' 9 main crew members. Sakazuki's 10 Zodiac Marines. Kaido's 9 main Beast Pirates. Now Imu's "main" 13.

And there are just as many theories of Luffy's crew count being 10 or 11 people at many of the same reasons Lol
People have been saying 10 long before Blackbeard’s 10 commanders were a thing. Same way people were saying 13 long before imu’s top 13 were a thing


Don’t understand the point of acting as if either is impossible and never gonna happen when even now Luffy is asking people to join his crew. Luffy getting 10 or even 13 doesn’t mean they all have to get fights each arc and never has
A normal reader would know Jimbo joined the crew in FI.

Agenda driven/dumb readers think it only counts after WCI/Onigashima
Oda didn’t consider him a full on member during fmi. Which is why we had to wait for wci for him to officially join and even then we had to wait again till onigashima for him to return. Oda not even putting him on crew color spreads pre onigashima
