Besides Jinbe, I can't see anybody joining the crew, this arc has got to end with Luffy's pirate alliance.

The Japanese are big on appearances. Its extremely likely that he "works" for 12+ hours a day but really only gets things done for a regular number of hours.

I feel like someone wrote a bunch of words about this in ADTRW before.

if oda actually worked for the amount of time he said he didnt he wouldnt have time to do all the things he mentions doing like movies/tv shows he enjoys watching.

that said he still probably works his rear end off and doesnt get much sleep but he probably squeezes out some time for entertainment each day during work.

Oda also said he wants Robin's Hana Hana no Mi the most because he then could have many hands drawing at the same time. Besides, all the devil fruits that are eaten by female characters are relevant to women's daily requirements in real life, e.g. Alvida's Sube Sube no Mi and Miss. Valentine's Kilo Kilo no Mi.

The translation I read noted that the new nakama would join successively btw.

http://opforum.net/showthread.php?tid=6501

rio poneglyph is a very reliable and good translator so i wouldn't chalk that up to someone messing up what's being said. basically the characters i assume would show up in the same piece of an arc (say, at the end of this one). so our new nakama would probably be precisely when jinbe joins, or as a pair.

Jinbe is a given, but I could see Momonosuke joining too, actually. I'm trying to think of characters that aren't too tied down to other commitments, like Law seems to be, or who wouldn't be better in a Strawhat Armada style role, like Bartolomeo for instance.

Except Momonosuke has a dream that roots him to Wano.

I'm really not sure why people have any sort of idea every arc that we need to get a new crew member. We haven't officially gotten one since Thriller Bark, yet every arc it's been "I wonder if Monet will join! Think about it, she has nothing left after Punk Hazard falls, and furthermore-".

The crew is borderline bloated as it is, the arcs get hard for each member to get any face time at all, and it's difficult to keep track of everyone's little groups to the point where we get a map every chapter. We don't need more. We really don't even need Jimbei, but he's all but confirmed as it is.

So there is going to be an original anime special that takes place during the timeskip

quote:

The One Piece television anime series is getting a two-hour special next month as part of the show's 15th anniversary celebrations. The "One Piece '3D2Y' Ace no Shi wo Koete! Luffy Nakama to no Chikai" (One Piece '3D2Y' Overcome Ace's Death! The Oath With Luffy's Crewmates) special will air on August 30 from 9 p.m. to 11:10 p.m. on Fuji TV stations.

The "mysterious episode" will be a completely new work that will have content not previously shown in the anime or the manga. The special will focus on the "3D2Y" code that Luffy's crewmates must decipher, and will take place during the Straw Hat crew's two-year training period. The special will also feature Luffy's secret haki training with Rayleigh.

Toei Animation producer Hiroyuki Sakurada said that the special will not just include Rayleigh and Hancock, but also Buggy, Mr. 3, Mihawk, Perona, and Admiral Sakazuki (Akainu), among others. Original manga creator Eiichiro Oda will design a new enemy character, Bandy World, who will have the ability of the "Moa Moa" fruit. Bandy World escaped from the sixth level of Impel Down during the Marineford battle, and he is now shocking the world with his former crew by taking out Marine battleships and prominent pirates one by one. The World Government summons the Seven Warlords to take care of World, but he manages to capture them. Now World has his sights set on Boa Hancock. Oda also provided a comment on the new special, noting that at the end of the special, "a must-see surprise for fans is waiting."

Luffy said at the very beginning of his journey he planned to recruit about ten people. That suggests probably two more people (Jimbei and ???????) as the crew of the Sunny but does not exclude a potential Whitebeard-style fleet.

If Kinnemon and Momonosuke end up joining I hope it's Pirate-Alliane because I don;t like them enough for them to be permanent crewmembers.

This is really great. One Piece is so creative and there's 600+ chapters of development that they're just dropped right into with no idea what's going on. Love it.

Also I really want to play that game now. I wanted to play it on 3DS but it is really pretty on PS3/Wii U. I loved the original on the Wii, so it'll be up to what time permits I guess.

Aha, but we met Kinemon and Mononosuke at Punk Hazard, which makes it the Whiskey Peak of the New World.

How do you do, fellow Regis?
I think Jinbei and eventually Sabo (although I doubt it will happen in Dressrosa) are a given for new crew members, other than that I could see another girl joining just to balance it out. Kinemon wont join because he is too similar to Zorro in fighting style and Monosuke is way too young.

Runa
Feb 13, 2011

Sabo's a replacement Ace and will probably serve a similar function minus the whole dying thing, so it's more likely he'll be a powerful ally and a more immediately relevant personal link to the Revolutionary Army than Luffy's absent dad.

Arguably Momonosuke could be their cabin boy if you want to match up the Straw Hats to Roger's crew. I still think they're due one more member just because Luffy wanted 10 members, and Jinbei's already a lock. Course, given this arc, it is expanding to the Straw Hats building their alliance akin to Whitebeard's alliance.

What we really need is a Davy Back type arc to give us more time with the crew. It was nice to get a short arc like that and have all those funny interactions.

Also give Sanji more screentime or at least a couple of chapters where he does something cool/important like the train invasion during Water 7.

I bought, played, finished and returned the game a couple weeks ago. It's a below average game but a decent One Piece game.

You again just visit places you've already been and fight people we've already seen. Of course that's part of a predictable plot. And there's a dull town to build. Why? I don't know.

It's nice to choose who you play with. Robin's pretty great since she is all about Zoning and staying out of danger. Nami and Sanji have good speed to avoid hits too. The battle system isn't deep and you'll mainly fight faceless mooks and mash buttons. Team attacks are okay.

The game also claims there's a 'Dressrosa' arc in the game. Yeah, no, that's a lie. There's the coliseum in Dressrosa where you just fight the same characters over and over, but you can unlock some enemies to use there. You'll get a Dolfy appearance or two but not a 'Dressrosa Arc'

It's not worth $70 (Australian).

If Vivi joins it would mean that Alabasta was probably destroyed in some manner because that's definitely her first responsibility.
