Well you pretty much have made points with what I was about to say lol. But I’ll just make points so they should be easier to read
Monet Pros:
- great design. She is the only harpy in the whole series
- great powerset. She is the first and only canonical female logia
- interesting personality. We’ve seen she has somehow shy personality under her cruel cover
- her name starts with M, and there is no Straw Hat with alphabet M as their initial name thus she fits the alphabet theory
- Oda mentioned in SBS, and later in Vivre Card, that Monet & Sugar had had terrible past and they were saved by Doflamingo. Terrible past is one of the main conditions to have to be a Straw Hat. It’s pretty sus that Oda bothered explaining that she & Sugar had terrible past, only to be killed
- regarding her Logia power, she fits if she’s the only logia in the crew. Sounds a bit too stretched, but maybe that’s also the reason why she is the only canonical female logia so far
- if she joins, she can complete the cycle of power of the girls in the crew: Nami as non-DF user, Robin as Paramecia DF user, Yamato as Zoan DF user, and Monet as Logia DF user
- her Logia DF is just right. But in the case of fighting, she’s more of brain than brawl. She could outsmart Luffy. If she joins, IMO she’s definitely not a downgrade; especially if Robin can’t use haki yet. She’s still weaker than Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Jimbei, Yamato but stronger than Robin
- her DF power is not dependent on occasional scenario. She could even survive the heat side of Punk Hazard while scouting Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Robin without any side effects on her power
- Luffy’s intense love for snow which has been hinted many times
- also regarding her DF power, some say that it would be too redundant if there is another snow/ice user in the crew. IMO, so far Yamato only has 1 ice based attack. I have a speculation that Yamato can use other elemental attacks besides ice (like fire or electric)
- she is presumed dead, but since her DF hasn’t been shown in circulation & nobody has been seen using her DF power, I still have faith she will still be alive; especially with the ambiguity of her status in Vivre Card databook
- with the release of the recent chapter, the speculation above gets stronger. Kinemon survived a supposedly fatal blow from Kaido, and his body was torn into 2 again. This could probably be a hint that Monet could also survive the heart stab; especially since she is a Logia, and the stab wasn’t imbued by haki
- she is also similar with Nami & Robin; being an intellectual. If she joins, her role can be an astronomer, and she may be the key to know Uranus as an ancient weapon
- she was a villain, similar with how Nami & Robin went to the bad way. If she makes a comeback, her mentioned tragic past could be revealed in her comeback arc
- her obsession with birds may possibly related to her past; especially because birds are symbol of freedom. It may also be related to either Skypiean/Lunarian, and she has an obsession with birds/winged creature. It’s also pretty sus that other creatures in Punk Hazard are land based half-creature as she’s the only sky based half-creature
- it’s pretty weird if Oda gave her one of the rarest type of DFs; only to be killed in the same arc, especially since she’s the first and only canonical female Logia. Sounds too sussy
- she has obsession with sky related themes, as birds, and especially with the appearance of sky related books on her desk (books with ASTRO and CLIP; where CLIP is probably eCLIPse). She may have intense obsession, but since she’s indebted to Doflamingo, she toned down her obsession. This obsession could be revealed if she will have comeback later.
Monet Cons:
- presumed dead. Although this point has quite a counter-argument which has already been explained above
- too long to make a comeback. This is another con, but if she has a comeback, it may be possible that her comeback is in Vegapunk arc; especially that tech, sci-fi related themes have been hinted pre-TS, and more as a recurring theme post-TS
- regarding the point above, IMHO I think it’s still much better to be out of story for the meantime because of her presumed death; rather than still alive but being a background character
those are my opinions and points for Monet anyway
Yeah. There are good points. About Monet vivre card, I think she is alive, because her information seems to point out that she is not dead, only suffered an attack from caesar and nothing more. I really find interesting if Yamato and Monet joins, the could be the fourth girls with all different DF styles. No one, Paramecia, Zoan, Logia.
But I believe that Momo will join, and yamato being the protector of wano. but maybe I am wrong. Maybe Momo will fight with two swords and all sword styles will be completed. Zoro 3, Momo 2, Brook 1. But if Momo doesnt join, I believe wholeheartedly, that yamato will be the last.
In my mind. Jimbe is like zoro and Chopper. Monet like nami and robin. Bellamy as ussop and franky (Here I have doubts with kuma and pedro). And Momo with Sanji and Brook (Sometimes I have doubts with X Drake, but for me momo is a better choice, but only my opinion)
About your "Monet Cons". It was funny because I was speaking about that with my girlfriend and some friends yesterday. We were talking about the candidates for nakama, Vivi, Carrot, Monet and Yamato, they four were the subject of the conversation. And a very close friend said the same about monet as you, "too long to make a comeback, almost 7 years out", and Suddenly I said that we have to think the time in one piece and not the real time. For Luffy, since he met monet, were two weeks ago. But of course, I am honest with myself and it is still being a horrible situation, but it only depends in Luffy reaction.
And Yeah, Luffy loves the snow, I don´t remember the chapter that he said "I wish I had snow in my ship". (Before chopper Arc, but i don´t know, I forget that sorry.) And yes, the "Terrible past of monet who said Oda and misteriously he didnt show in the whole past of DD pirates", it seems to be a hint of Oda about monet sad past is more important that we could imagine.
The only good things, since we started onigashima raid, a lot of hints about that were showed by Oda. The gropu of "birds woman in the battle", The cp0 speaking about a room which didnt suffered damages in PH, the gigants mistery and all the references to punk hazard. And 1030
kinnemon again had a half body like PH and The fire yokai of Kanjorou is like smiley poison creature of PH
I mean, a lot of people started to think again about monet, and it is a good signal.
And still her pros are thrice more than her cons
This is only the main reason why I started to find One piece nakama patterns.
Especially for Nami who would never forgive that.
Nami also said that she would never forget arlong. And Jimbe Joined.
These two were shorter but memorable.
Yeah. This is the best answer. We dont need a looooooooooooooong story. If the candidate had a terrible sad past, a role , a dream, and Luffy is interested in her or him. We don´t need nothing more.
I think the heart pirates could just disband.
I always believe that it will happen. But It seems that Law have something new in mind, so the crew will continue, but it can change.
Monet might have more pro but her con are much more stronger and quite eliminatory.
I don´t think so. For me the benefits are quite bigger having monet as nakama, but it is truth that is not sure, monet right now is like pedro, maybe they are fine or not.
Vivi maybe will travel again with luffy, maybe as nakama or not, but I hope to see her again with mugiwaras
Lets talk a little bit about Hancock. What if she entered the crew?
I can see Sanji turning stone everyday. :yasu:
Two things. Hamcock would be great as nakama, but i don´t se her in the ship, she need something more. And about sanji, right now his ADN is changing, maybe he will be more formal with ladies.
