He did it! He did the jojo thing!

You can't just introduce a clairvoyant Joseph lookalike without doing the thing, and he went ahead and did it!

I'm satisfied.

Day 1 was Sabaody + Fishman Island, Day 2 was Punk Hazard, Day 3 was Dressrosa, they got a newspaper about Law's Resignation the next morning. They left Dressrosa on Day 6, got to Zou on Day 14. Left on Day 15, brought a weeks' worth of food traveling to Whole Cake Island.

So a little over 3 weeks so far.

...you seem to forget they spent a whole week recovering after dressrosa. But yeah, it's only been about a month or so since Fishman Island.

The entirety of the pre-timeskip is something like 3 months so this short time isn't anything new.

Did he eat the glass? What was going on with his mouth pulling.

The funny face is to make the crew feel reassured that everything is fine which is why he told them he'd already made it to the island, only Jimbei realises he's actually in bone city.

I think he was hiding the piece of glass he was talking to nami with in his mouth so nobody could hear her

I still don't like Jinbei very much but the crew having a dedicated helmsman finally is cool and he's a good fit for it.

Has Katakuri done the Joseph thing before or is this the first time? It's pretty amazing Luffy is literally fighting a Joestar.

Now if only Katakuri had even an iota of a JoJo character's personality. Hopefully once the fight proper begins he'll start displaying some kind of character.

At first I thought it was "My friends survived, they're so great," but upon rereading I think it's him giving a big goofy grin to put them at ease and make them think he's got the fight completely under control so they won't worry about him, since while he has no intention of dying he doesn't know for sure if he'll make it.

Also the One Piece Podcast has been theorizing pretty often about Jinbei being the Helmsman so when he finally flat out said it I geeked the gently caress out. Both because it's official and Jinbei is now 150% ready to join the crew, but it was also just cool as gently caress.

Yeah that's my thoughts on it because he also tells them he's at the island already.

Took me a while, but the last few chapters have convinced me that Jinbei fits very well on the crew. Waiting for that first color spread including him now.

I'd also love to have Carrot as the lookout, and cause I think it would be neat to have the 2 new crew members be at extreme opposites in terms of experience.

I believe Oda said something to the effect of having several crew members join at once. But it was years ago and no one thought it would happen.

Helmsman is a good title and steering an entire ship with just the ropes is kickin rad. I honestly never considered Jinbei would even have a crew title other than the Fish Guy.

I've also pretty much 180'd on Jimbe joining now too. Bring on the fishman.

Carrot as lookout would still rule though too.

But again my biggest worry is that 90% of the Straw Hats are going to get totally eclipsed by Law or Marco or someone else in Zou

he could have been referring to sanji rejoining along with jinbe joining so who knows

i could see carrot joining at this point. either her or kinemon. i cant imagine there's anyone else with enough screen time to have the impact of becoming a crewmate.

Just chiming in that Luffy is amazing, and always has been. He might not be the pirate king for ten more years, but he's been the shonen protagonist king for multiple decades already.

When I first got into all this Luffy is why I stuck with the story until Arlong Park (which is when the story's own momentum picked up the slack for my tastes and started pushing forward). Him making fun of Coby for being annoying but still helping the goober start his dream path to be diametrically opposed to Luffy's own life choices made me want to see what happens next.

She is already considered an official Straw Hat in the eyes of the crew but her joining up permanently means they'd have to find a way around the whole "princess with a responsibility to her country" aspect. Plus, beyond that she doesn't seem to have any real dreams of her own.

A reunion at some point is almost definitely in the cards at least though and it would be interesting to see her reaction to the newer members of the crew (there might be some lingering tension between her and Robin at first but I could totally see her geeking out over Franky).

she could explain her contempt for the current world government at reverie and they kick her country out leaving her with no country to rule. more impressively, if there's some sort of end-game situation in which the WG has to flex their muscle for story purposes, wiping out alabasta would be the country to do it to. that would be all the motivation she needs to overturn the WG with the strawhats and give them a personal reason to absolve the current WG.

Carrot is cool, but she has no reason to permanently leave the other minks, especially since she's a musketeer and would want to fill the void where Pedro was. She's a shoo-in for the armada though.

carrot will join because luffy and the crew are the ones who will bring the world to its new dawn and pedro entrusted that future to them
