I'm happy that the new chapter came out early! :neckbeard:

It's interesting that we finally get to see Sanji's dad. I'm betting this will be the one of the very rare occasions that Sanji breaks his "no-fists" rule to just slug him in the face, Sanji really seems to hate the guy a lot.

Nah, he only breaks that rule when he's dealing with food. I bet his dad gets angry at him for only using his feet, though.

Come to think of it, Sanji is definitely going to have to fight some sort of dessert creature in this arc, we'll probably get to see his knife skills again.

Thought it was kinda boring that they were just running around in circles for half a chapter but warmed up to it once I imagined the anime stretching it out to 3 episodes somehow.

Carrot and Pedro rule and are way better than boring rear end Jinbe who I hope dies before he joins the crew.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
Just caught up! Gotta say, Jinbei isn't making a great case for "I should be part of the Straw Hat Crew" given that he was a complete no-show during the Dressrosa and Zou arcs (I mean, narratively it makes sense, and I'm sure he'll have some great moments coming up, but I have no hype for him at all anymore). Doflamingo was a great villain, but Dressrosa lasted forever and I can't imagine what it was like to read serially, especially because half the crew wasn't present.

Carrot's a fun character, but I don't currently think there's quite enough there for her to be a full-time member of the crew. She's kind of reminds me of Paulie--very very close, but not quite there.

I still wish Perona had joined...

Chopper and Nami better get a cool fight while they're here. When did they last get a fight period? Other than Nami getting jumped by Wanda, which lasted three panels? Dressrosa doesn't count either, since they spent all their time on the Sunny as paintings or whatever before Brook cleaned up.

Any character who isn't a villain and receives any characterization whatsoever is definitely joining the crew, no question.

What's actually going to happen is that Caesar will be the next Strawhat--he'll keep helping them because he wants to get his heart back, but when he, Law, and his heart are all in one place it will turn out he did too many good deeds and his heart grew 3 sizes and no longer fits in his chest.

I'm really hoping Luffy gets captured and the arc is Nami/Chopper/Carrot and Brook/Pedro have to figure out a way to rescue him. Luffy vs small fries are always great fights but I want the crew to shine after being missing for 2 years.

Chopper got a solo fight against a named opponent at Fishman Island for like one chapter, Nami hasn't had one since Enies Lobby (unless you count her getting beat up by Absalom and then saved by Sanji).

She's doing better than Robin, who hasn't had a solo fight since she straight up murdered that guy on Skypiea for destroying valuable ruins.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I'd love for Carrot to be in the crew, she should be able to pull off some great melee fights like Sanji in contrast to Nami's gadgets and....Well Robin doesn't really fight that much. Electricity is also another element the Straw Hats don't have so she could combine that with some unique abilities, too.

I know at best she'll just be an arc-based ally though :smith:

The idea of a bunch of neatly planned out, regimented 1v1 crew fights sounds kind of boring, going forward in One Piece, to be honest. I'm not sure why people are so eager for it. I hope the last time we see something like that is with The Black Beard crew.

Oda's really good at not using generic fights though, there's a lot of people who can beat "Unbeatable" opponents like Usopp being so negative that Perona's ghosts did nothing to him, or Luffy's innate ability to resist electricity so Enel had to get more creative. It's not just sword-pushing or over-using the same ability

I feel the same way, with the exception of the Monster Trio, because this just wouldn't be a shonen manga without incredible solo feats of strength. I think it would be more interesting to see the rest of the crew team up in different combinations and fight that way.
