K.B. strategist Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Nah Rebecca isn't going to join the crew. Her design isn't unique in the least and her personality is rather boring and has no place in the crew. There are more deserving characters in this arc alone, and none of them are going to join either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Was anyone else bugged by Rebecca being 16. She does NOT look 16. Anyway, I wasn't that how on the last chapter but this one was REALLY good. The stuff with the Soldier has all been great and while the revelation isn't THAT unsuspected its still works. Also, speaking of Rebecca, seeing her draw with an actual shirt was nice. Only issue is Usopp not getting how someone can be so loyal to their captain. Nothing that major, but it seemed strange given what he said yesterday in story. Still, looks like he'll finally get to be badass so, yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Yeah, she looks like she should at least be in her 20s. Yea. Honestly I thought she would be around 18-20 which is Nami's age. I mean, Vivi was 16 if memory serves and she at least looked closer to that than Rebecca does.

She is, technically, but you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Games Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 My thought process went. "That's young"..."And she's fighting in the colosseum at that age?"...Looks didnt cross my mind lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Oh yeah, I was surprised with her age too. Actually, that's the first woman in One Piece I can think of where she doesn't exactly look like her age.EDIT: Forgot about Dr. Kureha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Only issue is Usopp not getting how someone can be so loyal to their captain. Probably because he didn't think a simple toy soldier was deserving of it, thus the reveal. Speaking of it, I honestly totally didn't expect him to be Kyros until partway through this chapter, so I thought it was plenty surprising.

King of Games Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I've suspected/been convinced Toy Soldier was Kyros(& and also Rebecca's father which has all but been confirmed) for a while now. I think not long after the reveal that the toys are forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 & and also Rebecca's father which has all but been confirmed It was confirmed back in chapter 726, iirc. EDIT: Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 So does anyone think the Strawhats will get any new members in this arc? Kinemon would be a reasonable candidate if it were not for his son, who he wouldn't abandon. Rebecca IMO still looks way to generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Maybe it's just me, but when I see Rebecca, or any female character, really, I don't think of others. I get that Oda has that sort of style for characters, but I have no problem discerning characters and I don't feel like anyone's ever too generic or looks like someone else.

Flame Dragon Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I would like for a new member to join the crew this arc. We know Black Beard has 10 other crew members and so the Straw Hats are going to need to equal that at some point. To sooner the full crew is together the better.

Tentacruel Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think part of my problem is that I read the chapters too fast and have a hard time really letting the story sink in and grab me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 The thing is, Rebecca at this point has only been wearing her tournament armor; it's possible she'll look much more unique and interesting when she's seen in her "main" outfit.

gayestbamf Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 OMG I love One Piece, it is such a great show, I have been re-watching old episodes of the anime on Toonami (unfortunally it's the sucky ENG DUB by 4Kids) I been update with the manga as well.

Sleepy Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I have the feeling Usopp will have to recur to his Sogeking alter-ego in this arc.Otherwise, as much as he might have improved, he still is getting terribly scared here. Which thinking about it, the Straw Hat Pirates were never spread so thin into situations that make each of them look like they could be their own main characters. Except for Zoro that is...

Incorrect my fine fellow. The much improved and superb FUNimation dub is airing on Toonami.Always fun to see the reactions in real-time over Twitter from the people who are new to the show.

Lt. Colonel Remo Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I recall Jimbei basically saying he would join the Straw Hats at a later date, no? Regardless I personally don't we are going to see anybody join the Straw Hats just yet, but we might get Vivi 2.0 with Rebecca becoming an honorary Straw Hat. Straw Hat is fun to say.

Shradow Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Jinbei said he would join once he cut ties with Big Mom, iirc. I imagine that would also entail sorting out the protection of Fishman Island once he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Its like 99% percent that someone other than Jinbei will join them. The reason being http://www.mangapanda.com/one-piece/737/6 Black Beard has 10 main crew members and since one of the final conflicts in the series is going to be Straw Hats for Blackbeard they are going to need an even number of people. Not counting Luffy the crew only has 8 people atm. It really does feel like we will get the final member when this arc ends, the only question is who will it be.

Shradow Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'm almost positive it won't be Kin'emon, for starters. I would really like to see Rebecca join, but I'm honestly not sure who it'll be right now. Assuming Law won't be fighting with them during the inevitable showdown.

FTW (For The Wynn) Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 If anyone is going to join them atm, it would almost have to be Kinemon. With or without his son remains to be seen. He's definitely obscure enough in personality and power. I'm fairly sure they will go back to Fishman Island later on in the story. There was some hardcore foreshadowing about Noah being needed, and it's pretty obvious imo that a fight between the Straw Hats and any one of the Yonkou is going to be destructive. That's where I assume Jinbei will officially join with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 The reason it won't be Kinemon is his kid. You can't take a child with you when you're a pirate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
