I mean, Luffy straight up said he had no issues with a child joining just last arc to Tama. You can say that's Luffy being nice and not wanting to tell her no... but Luffy don't got that kinda subtlety in his body.

Also don't understand this whole "Bonney was/is a captain" argument against it.

Brooke was a Captain
Jinbei was a Captain
Franky was a Gang Leader

You can write Brooke off cause his crew is dead, sure. But those other two had active crews who cared for and loved them. And they still showed up.

And are we gonna pretend like a WARLORD captain is in some way different in importance level to a Supernova Captain?

If you're not on the Bonney joining train, then sure. But these aren't the arguments to make.
Then it’s just up to Bonney if she wants to sail with Luffy, like Tama. I know Kuma wants her to continue being a pirate, but it’s up to Bonney.
 
And to think that she can be herself again, a 12 yr old girl, but no need of protecting, if she’s with the SHs. I think she’s indeed joining. This will be the ultimate ending of Kuma-Bonney story.

Bonney sounds like a fun join but I feel like people are jumping the gun again. We know Oda's capable of rug pulls and has done it before, so I just wanna make sure that no one jumps too fast onto a ship that can potentially sink :josad:

I'll believe it when I see it, until then, in my eyes she's not anymore a nakama material than anyone else, plus I really want her and Kuma to be happy together and live peacefully :blush:
After Yamato, sure, but there's no stronger candidate right now than the girl who:
a) is with the crew right now
b) has nobody/nowhere to go or turn to
c) has lost her own crew
d) seems to fit in seemlessly
e) has just witnessed her father's dying memories/legacy which is almost entirely revolved around Luffy and herself

To be honest, based on the information we have the only people that were more likely to join the crew than her at any given point were the east-blue Nakama.

Edit: Oh and I just found out that the Toshi Toshi no Mi also completes all the theorised Goroawase word-play devil fruit stuff

And do you doubt that somebody would want to follow their version of God?

Ya sounding just the same like yamato. Bonney needs a role, Luffy needs to want her to join, and bonney needs a goal.

3 simple questions.
- What does bonney want to do?
- What role does she play?
- Does luffy want her?


Ya need to calm down with the absolute mindset. Oda is a petty troll. It runs in his cultural veins, so just enjoy the story...... I mean, try to enjoy the story because most of his chapters are mid and disspaointing and it takes more than torture porn to convince me the entire story is good otherwise I'd be more of GUTS fan.

No. Bonney definitely deserves a better life.
 
To be fair not every SH has haki either, so we can't hold it against her especially with her young age. And even without haki her fruit is damn powerful and could prove useful which is why I'd like to see more of her myself, I just would prefer for her and Kuma to have a happy ending :josad:
Exactly why next recruit needs to know Haki, half of the crew are idiots in this category...
 
I'm still hedging all my stocks on Vivi. She's got more relevance than even Bonney via her family's implicit connections to the Void Century, Imu killing her dad, her being a D all along, and her being on the run with direct orders from Imu to have her captured and brought to him.
My current top 5 would be
  1. Vivi
  2. Bonney
  3. Smoker (I'm on Smoker copium, he'll come back and be super relevant with an awakened Logia just trust the plan)
  4. Yamato
  5. Law
I personally also just question people who think Lucci would be joining because why the fuck would the man suddenly stop dickriding the World Government to go directly against them just because he questioned their orders once or twice. The man's a got the bloodlust of a murderhobo and he gets paid for it.

Sounds like you would like to bet about who will become the last crew member. I bet my avi for 1 month and say it will be Lucci. You in?
 
If Lucci actually joins I will fully change my avatar from Spandam to Lucci for however long the series lasts.
Wow, this is a little long, but ok. If you are ok with me changing it only for one month in return, than it's a deal. 😊

Note: The chosen profile pictures for both sides may not contain demeaning depictions or texts towards/of any person or character and are not allowed to have political implications, violence or sexualized content (e.g., Party X will win the election!; Luffy is “insert insult”; Women are citizen of second class; depiction of a naked people; etc.) – You know – the usual… .
 
I am waiting for Oda to first complete the matter regarding Bonney and Kuma, before I think he will tackle the matter of Lucci, Shaka and Vegapunk. Because, if you think about it - Oda has not really dived into Vegapunk's past, yet. And I think this will be the part, in which he also explains, what happened during the time-skip and what Shaka looks like underneath that helmet.

And Oda also said in his Festa-letter for 2024 that the fight between that person and that person will finally happen. "And finally, it will happen. The battle between that character and that character will lead to unexpected results!!" That means that the fight will happen in the next year, not this. Honestly, I think this fight will happen either between Lucci and Saturn or Lucci and Kizaru, whereas the latter is in my opinion more likeable.

Let's wait until the SHPs and Vegapunk & Co. have almost left, then I think we will see a big surprise.

Why does everyone claim Vivi is a D? That's never been said.
