YEEEEEEES~!

Unfortunately, this means he isn't on the transexual island. *sigh*

Anyone up for a round or ten of wild mass guessing?

Here's one: What other characters are going to return soon? I'm putting my money on Django.

Also, have we seen Admiral Magellan yet?

Jango now works for the Marines though, and they showed him and Ironbody(the marine that Sanji beat down) as friends.

... Buggy's line right there was hilarious... Gotta love it.

Still want this arc to hurry up though. I want to see where Hancock comes in after this, and if the rumors of the 'crew of 10' really are true.

What I'm amazed about is that No.2 was apparently unaffected by the heat of Lvl 3. No.3 mentioned that prisoners in Lvl 3 were kept in a state of constant near-death so for No.2 to be still so energetic has got to say something about him.

That and Fuck yeah!!! No.2 is back! Disappointed that he evidently cannot be on Okama Island and team up with Sanji but him being in Impel Down is just so much better! On to the next chapter!

It's obvious that the spirit of the Okama Way burns hotter than any flames! :lol:

Yeah, Okama's a both man and woman so they have the fiery spirit of both genders. Heheh I can't wait to see what kind of mayhem he can contribute when he finds out Luffy, who he sees as a friend as of the end of the alabasta arc, is there and is going down to help his brother. Cue tears :)

Manly (?) tears of awesome, that is.

God I love this series. Too bad that writing any fanfiction for it could never match the original.

People, let's have an actual discussion! Try and guess what the next Strawhats will be like, or something!

I'd think there's not going to be any more, personally. And even if there is, at BEST it'll be like one. I heard somewhere that the crew was going to be around ten, IIRC... I believe it was Luffy who said it come to think of it... Even then however I can't honestly think of what's still needed. I mean seriously, they have everything that's needed of a crew (Each with uber abilties in given field), and stuff that's really unnecessary. Like an Archaeologist. Hell, the run on joke was that every time Luffy needed a new crewmember of a specific type, he'd say they needed a musician first, and now they've got that one. Personally I think they're done.

Well, save Vivi, but at this point it's impossible until they get to the end of the grand line and loop around again. Unless we have important POLITICS somewhere in the new world that requires her to be there, but even that would have to be REALLY late in, given she's still there from that chapter not too long ago, and the Strawhats have made it halfway around the world already. Unless Pell is more uber than we're led to believe, and even then I'd only buy a couple of months of travel. We are talking around the world afterall.

However if I'm really reaching, I'd say Hancock. For epic lulz.

I suppose if there's really another job to be filled, they MIGHT get something along the lines of a mad scientist inventor or something... but Franky, Chopper, and especially Usopp have that one covered.

Personally? I think they're going to get more crew-members cause now it's about manpower. True that the original strawhats are uber but numbers can take them down. That means they have to bolster their forces somewhat. C'mon, if Shanks can have a crew of more than ten people, Luffy who idolises him should have at least more than ten. Eleven maybe... Besides, think about the mayhem that would cause. Problem though is where they going to place the crew-members. Thousand Sunny wasn't very big if I remember.

Thousand Sunny is pretty huge, but numbers is hardly a good reason to just keep adding crew members. Especially when it's up to the author to develop/use them correctly, which gets considerably harder the more main characters you have. Otherwise they just plain get neglected. Hence why I think they're pretty much done.
 

Frank Cadena

True that it's hard to keep the characters straight if you have too much, what with the author's penchant to delve into the history of each character as they get introduced but that doesn't mean that it's not doable. It just means more work. Either that or have side character crews like Franky's underlings tag along to add spice if not content.

Honestly, I'm imagining what it would be like to have Hancock and No.2 join Luffy. The author already showed Hancock's past in part so that makes her joining likely but it's still up in the air and I'm extremely curious about No.2's past if he does join.

Do you know what's the best part? We haven't even entered the New World Arc and things are already this exciting, I'm wondering what comes in the future. Also, the past chapters opened a lot of questions gave some insight about the history of the OP world and hints on future characters that may come.

I don't know but I concur and by god if he isn't a sore sight for Luffy's eyes. Heh I was right that tears would be shed. Okama never die indeed hehehehe

Oh god, why is Mr. 2 so AWESOME!?
This is One Piece, where using three swords is not only possible, it's logical and conservative.

This is One Piece, where the strongest powers people have are the ones that seem the most useless (Gum-Gum, Hana-Hana).

This is One Piece, where the only way for the manga to continue is to become more and more epic, but keep the heartbreak at the front.

THIS! IS! ONE PIECE!!!

That's why Mr. 2 is so awesome.

I honestly have no clue how they're going to get out now though... Unless... Boa lends a hand again. :snigger:

Who? Sadi-chan? I think she did. I didn't notice that until you mentioned it but now that you did...

Yeah, so last few chapters have been pretty cool.

Now see this: CP9-years old!*

















I will make a sig of these, maybe. I like the arc, but not that much...maybe. Then I'd, also, feel obligated to find a proper avatar.

Still very cool.

*Age thing is just a bit of fun on my part, Oda made no distinction. SBS's are really fun.
 

Frank Cadena

Well-Known Member
Yup, SBS's are great sources of info and fun. Readers usually have something to say or ask or sometime they would just point out something other people usually miss.

Well... this is odd... Once again defines why One Piece Fanart is epic though... although I'm pretty sure I'm missing something about the background...

Something is wrong with the link you provided NGD. It asks to join instead of going straight to the picture. Did Deviantart always do that? I'd rather not join just to see that picture. Can you put it up somewhere else?
