The Next Straw Hat Crew Member (During Punk Hazard Arc)

[FenixMarco]

you just do not like him thats all it is and i never not once said luffy would get a huge crew not once did i ever say that so please do not put words in my mouth. i said 13-15 many time that is not a huge crew and either translation you want to use the door is wide open for more than ten and both make it clear that 10 is the base line not the limit.

I do not like him, no shit the dude sucks at translating. How about you look up the info of how you get your weekly One Piece fix. 13-15 is a huge crew for the main cast of the story. Your not up there on simple story telling to see why it won't happen. The door ain't wide open hell it isn't even hardly budging, only definite fact is we are getting 10, correct translation is Oda still not sure himself if he would add more. Yes that's right let it sink in, he is not sure, the Oda.

thanks for making the point for me marco, he is not sure and B4 people were all like he only said 10 witch mean the door is now open for more than ten. plus NO 13-15 is not a huge crew in the main story line. white beards crew was huge and each of his allies hand many men under there control as well. and i have went back and looked through all the times we have seen shanks with his crew and he has about over 20 at least. don.k and many men under his control. moria had a zombie army, and boa has way more than 15 crew members. 13-15 would be a relatively small crew in the one piece world.

He meant too huge for the "main cast crew" wherein each and evryone has an indepth background, personal goals to be meet in the future and other things that would make the story too long and dragged out if it were let say 15 members. We don't get that on other pirate crews crew or any needs to be.

yes but it is not like it is not doable we could get crew members that we all ready have back stories for or we could get 2 or 3 character back stories at the same time that are connected with each other., or we could get a simple back story thats not that long or complected. i am not saying this is a reason for it to happen but it is a reasonable defense for the objection.

Alright Cross I'll dumb it down for you. We are reading the story of how Monkey D. Luffy rises in Power, along with the entertaining main cast his crew(comparing them to side characters is a irrelevant point). Oda has already sacrificed romance within the crew because he sought it as dragging the story. He has already said he is trying to bring this story to a closing, if you haven't noticed it from his rushed war arc. It takes great talent and hard work to show cast all 9 SH's in every chapter, keeping them each shining as they continue to journey towards Raftel. Along with the facts Aristart told you, the reason he wont be getting anymore then 11 total tops (meaning your 13-15) it's not because I do not like it, its because I doubt he would want to do it. That's 13-15 characters he has to show cast nearly every chapter, its a bit harder in One Piece compared to other stories since they aren't always in the same place. So yes expecting more than 2 more joining is far fetched and I would even say hopeless.

i understood this and i see you point Fm, and you have one you do and its a VERY GOOD POINT. but in my spair time when i unwind i think about stuff random stuff and this in one of those said things. and i thought through this in depth, and as you said 11 would make sense. i am not oblivious of this. but the thing is more not many more but 2-3 more is doable in many ways. in no way does this prove that there will be more than 11, i can not do that. but all i am trying to say is that it is not impossible. so lets call a spade a spade and wait and see we will find out at some point.

Now personally, I think we only need two crew members; Luffy and Zoro. The rest just hold back the awesomeness that those two produce. Nami. Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook are all just filler for those two. Adding 4 to 6 more members would just add more filler for those two. So, Fuck you for not wanting absolute awesome.

[dct21]

sanji is pretty awesome to you know, especially after that last chapter

[FenixMarco]

Sanji is badass he should be on your list Xiao.

I'm a stick to Oda's simplistic story telling instead of hopelessly throwing shit at the wall.

thats you right and i respect your opinion

it not that i do not want absolute awesomeness, i just think that he can do it either way and feel that with 3-4 more he can still be absolutely awesome. but i have to agree that 6 would be to many. i also feel that sanji should not be in that list. also maybe depending on how it goes now that franky and ussop will be in less of a back up role.
