Break Week Luffy recruiting process is bullshit

[stealthblack]

Luffy gets two guys like jimbei and yamato in same arc, and will have a marines level crew by the end, while other crews recruit fodders, like law or eustass.

His crew is already on par or better then the rocks that had 3 yonkous in their crews

 

[Finalbeta]

Why on par with the rocks?

They had Xebec, Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom. Lol.

 

[OnePiss]

You don’t rate Heat and Wire

 

[Nagasaki]

Oda's recruitment process sucks you mean

 

[Salah WG]

He recruited Zoro in Volume 1 & Jinbe in almost Volume 100
Rest are Weaklings

 

[KonyaruIchi]

Isn't it kinda the opposite? Other crews kinda don't bother getting strong recruits most of the time, and go for sheer numbers instead. The SHs are extremely curated members-wise, so each of them is very strong. The same thing can be said for crews like the Blackbeard Pirates or the Rocks Pirates, both of which had extremely strong crew members.

Eustass was supposed to be strong.... the way he treates any character that isn't Luffy or Zoro is ridicoulus
- Luffy power up lists : G2 , G3 , G4 , G5 awakening, AdvCOA, AdvCOC , AdvCOO , Voice of all things
- Luffy's crew :
Zoro : AdvCOA , AdvCOC , Asura , King of Hell mode , 3 of the best blades in the verse , Breath of all things , More power up in coming too
Jinbe : Ex Warlord and YC2 level
Sanji : YC3 level
Yamato : YC1 level

- Kid power up list : big robot , more junk , "awakening" that does nothing
- Kid crew
Heat : does nothing the entire war
Wire : does nothing
it's stupid they are not even remotely close

btw Zoro doesn't have AdCOA, just hardening, his power ups this arc are Enma and CoC infusion and stop it Sanji is not YC3 level, he's clearly YC2 level

This is the cost of massive world building in a manga so many characters that you're just forced to turn a bunch into fodder. Oda didn't want to waste time trying to come up with entire unique characters for every crew then he would have the flesh them out a bit and the story would just drag on a lot longer.

Oda even said in a SBS that you don't need to remember most of Kidd's crewmates

It sucks but it is what is

All kidd and law have is Killer and Bepo lmao...

This problem could have been solved if he made the entire supernovas(except Luffy and Zoro) into one, strong rival crew as well as give Kidd AdCoC.

Zoro does have adv coa, he used the same principles hyogoro taught luffy to cut through Mr 1 "some swordsman can cut nothing, others can cut everything", and sanji beating a yc2 means he's above that lvl

It's because Luffy dives into situations that Kid would sail right on past. Kid is stubborn and selfish which is why he doesn't make allies as easily as Luffy does.

 

[OnePiss]

What

LMFAO my bad wrong thread

 

[York]

Luffy has charisma that the others don't have. There's a reason everyone in Dressrosa decided to form an alliance with him, not Law

It's meant to be that way when you have Nika-Nika fruit.

Even strong people will ally with the Nika-Nika fruit user.

Hell even an ancient weapon in Poseidon was meant to be Nika's ally.
