That's why I'm torn about how to feel on Kinemon. He seems like the perfect candidate except for his kid. Perhaps his Samurai code will interfere with wanting to be a pirate, but I actually kind of doubt that.

However, if we find out Kinemon has a secret dream, he's definitely joining at some point.

So, I want to see how his story turns out.

I'm also curious about Luffy's other brother and how he will now fit back into the story.

Sabo will probably just team up with them for this arc and go back to the revolutionaries, or perhaps help tie in the revolutionaries.

 

I also think it's worth noting that he's likely stronger than Luffy is. 

 

There's a chance of that. However, Idk that he is that much stronger than Luffy now. To me that would diminish some of the effects of his 2 years training.

Since it seems like the Revolutionary Army is obviously going to get involved at some point with Sabo coming into the picture, I wonder what will happen when Luffy eventually meets Dragon. I can only imagine he'll do something stupid. I doubt Dragon is anything except serious all the time, so I don't think it'll be anything like Luffy meeting up with Garp at Water 7.

 

EDIT: Wait a minute. I wonder if Robin might've known about Sabo.

>.> that ice women wouldn't have told Luffy if he didn't bring it up. In all seriousness I wonder if that's a plot hole or if Oda intends to cover it up/explain it xD

 

Honestly though, we barely got into the New World, there's still a huge chance that the next Straw Hat won't be for a while. It would get kinda boring if the last Straw Hat got revealed now and then we had to go through with the entire rest of series knowing there would be no more.

 

WHAT IF LUFFY GETS MORE THAN 10? LIKE HE THROWS US ALL A CURVE BALL AND JUST DECIDES TO HAVE MORE MEMBERS THAT HE LIKES? IT WOULDN'T BE OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR HIM TO PULL THAT ON US THE AUDIENCE.

I wouldn't really consider something like that a plot hole. It's entirely possible that Robin simply didn't meet Sabo, or if she did, it's not like she knows who he is or his relation to Luffy without Sabo telling her. We had that flashback arc, but I don't think Luffy's ever told anyone the story, has he?

 

And maybe Sabo being alive was meant to be kept a secret from Luffy until Sabo showed up himself, I dunno.

I figured them meeting was possible, due to their mutual link that is Luffy. Though it depends on how high up Sabo is and if he'd be important enough to be hanging around wherever Robin was. At the very least, we know that Dragon actually wanted to meet with Robin, and in terms of her usefulness against the World Government she'd definitely be very important to the revolutionaries.

I honestly think us being in the New World is all the more reason to fill out the crew asap.

 

An important rule when doing things is that you shouldn't do them just to do them.

Hold on a sec.

 

If there are only going to be 10 Strawhats total, then we pretty much know who the last Strawhat is already.

 

Well, earlier in that one page FD referenced, it was said that Blackbeard was supported by "10 Giant Captains", meaning the Blackbeard Pirates make 11 total, which means if the Straw Hats were going to equal that, they'd need two more, thus the idea of someone else aside from Jinbei.

 

However, that brings up something else entirely. If Stronger is just a mount for Doc Q like he seems, that means we don't know the 10th and final Giant Captain. Aokiji, perhaps?

 

EDIT: Read the chapter. Darn it, Usoland.

Help me Usoland. you're my only hope! 

 

I love Usopp, but this needs to stop being a repeated plot point. But hey, I figure he'll come back and win me over next chapter as Pinocchio.

 

 

Usopp's been great so far in the New World, taking on enemies with confidence, and being dependable.

Well, the Donquixote family is a whole 'nother thing compared to the New Fishman Pirates (who were intentionally really lame) and Ceasar Clown's goons (who were just abunch of mooks aside from Vergo and Monet, who Ussop did not deal with), you have to take that into account.

Ussop is at his lamest though. He knows all these little guys are sacrificing themselves for it, and that Franky is on the line of fire purposely for the sake of Ussop's group, and that he left Robin behind. This is not even about lies or betraying the small guys, but he took advantage of the other companions to flee. Dammit Ussop!

 

 

 

 

Oh btw, I'm gonna call out of the blue that the crew member to join right now is Jinbei. Why, because Big Mom is on the shore and will be showing herself pretty soon. I'm sure stuff will tie well here. This might not necessarily mean she'll be taken down this arc, but I think stuff might happen to get him to appear and go open about leaving her.

 

After all, it's better if we get the predictable crew member here before the mysterious one that might or might not happen.

I hope Oda is just setting us up for when Usopp goes back and makes an actual stand and fights Sugar.

Actually, if Big Mom really does show up like that with Jimbei near by fighting her or something, I feel like he might just tell Luffy that he's going to stick to just fighting her himself or in his own way. Like he might just stick with the Fishmen indefinitely and will be an honorary Straw Hat. Even after Big Mom is destroyed, it would help Fishman Island if they had someone like Jimbei around at all times or something. 

 

 

 

Say, did all of the Four Emperors make as big a splash when they were rookies the same way the Straw Hats are doing now? I mean when you look at the current Straw Hat track record, they have probably beaten enough Shichibukai members to at least definitely qualify.

They're called The Worst Generation for a reason. 

Okay but still, breaking into ALL THREE government facilities when NO ONE ELSE EVER DID should qualify for Emperor status. No one else of the Worst Generation even comes close to that.

 

The fact that they aren't considered Emperors kinda says something about the Yonko. If there were five Emperors, would they be the Goko?

Jinbei will probably be the last crew member to join, since an ex-Warlord joining their ranks would be the perfect "capstone," so to speak.

 

As for the chapter, Usopp should have some epic moments...you know, when he gets over himself. Again.

 

I agree with both points you said. I'm pretty sure someone from this arc will join the crew and then before we start fighting the Yonko Jinbei will join.

 

Ignoring Usopp for a second the chapter was really good. One of Oda's strong points is balancing the action and this chapter does that very well. Also really cool to see rupture man.

To be fair, he doesn't know he is leaving Robin behind. She has become forgotten. But yea, I've been saying this for a while but Usopp has been REALLY bad this arc. Like, this is worse than he normally is. Its very obvious that Oda is going to have him get better and fight both Sugar and Trebol. But dear lord, the build up to this is making me want to beat the crap out of Usopp.

 

Also, as for why I think Usopp will fight Tebol, Sanji is out at see meaning the normal rule for who fights the enemies top brass isn't really in affect.
