Monet is not going to join, she is down to core evil as I already said. No chance... this is not Naruto, with repetitive plot and settings + recycled character designs, sigh... Robin was indeed different case because this plot card can be used only once or the series suck.
I really like this arc. I like it so much that I think I will stop watching anime adaption that they won't ruin it for me. I can already see how they extend every corner and focus on fooling around with smokers crew. It's funny on manga, but damn annoying in anime, because in anime it seems to be shows main purpose when in manga badassery and jokes are in good balance.l

They are pirates (generally bad people) however if you take away the humor of past chapters you're left with something pretty vile and despicable even for pirates. There's no way you can excuse someone who stoops so low for his/her own life. |

^I adressed that already.

I do not know why Monet does what she does, but if the reason is good enough (and if the children were never actually hurt), then I would have no problem with her being considered for the Strawhats (I also wouldn't care if she didn't join, but that's a different discussion...). |

I don't think anything justifies drugging children even when acting, it's a line people shouldn't cross regardless of their intentions.
And she is helping Ceasar, if she is just there to guard she could have steered clear of participating in the experiments. Also fear for Zoro is a pis poor redemption if you ask me. I just don't see her becoming a crew member. Since instead of becoming good she is only turning out to be more of a nut as the arc goes on. |

The fear for Zorro in itself is no redemption at all, but it might be key for triggering her pursue of redemption.
That's what I wanted to say. This is not excactly related to my prior statement, but wouldn't it be sort of cool if her fear for Zorro or the Strawhats in general was greater now than her fear for Doflamingo? I could see some interesting scenes panning out with this being the case.

Do we really need more crewmates anyway? Oda already has problems giving the existing crew screen time with Brooke, Franky and Robin becoming passengers in the series after their arcs.

Anyway, all this like for Monet probably stems from the fact that she's cute, especially when she blushes. In which case Oda has done another magnificent job of an evil individual who is not treated as evil due to some other feature they have. Last edited by Dengar; 2012-11-01 at 16:08. |

But I do agree with your sentiments. The more members there are, the less focus there is on each one now. Even now I wish some members had some more significance. |

So I guess I'm the only one who's entertaining the possibility of Monet joining Law's crew, then. Admittedly, that idea is just as much of a stretch as the idea of her joining the Straw-Hats, but I can somehow see it working. I mean, both Monet and Law already share a connection through being underlings (well, more like former in Law's case) of Doflamingo's, and remember that they literally swapped hearts together. And somehow, I feel that Law would be less likely than Luffy and co. to question Monet's moral code since he hasn't exactly been portrayed as the most decent person himself. Plus, we saw Law gain a new addition to his crew the last time he teamed up with Luffy (Jean Bart), so who's to say that particular scenario couldn't happen again?
Lastly, since Law is officially allied with the Straw-Hats now, you could say in a certain sense that Monet joining him could kill two birds with one stone as far as the whole nakama thing goes...... |

Monet is cute, but it doesn't have to mean that she has never been intended to be a good person. She's just twisted and evil.

this brings up an old question...
Last time during WB stabbing Ice Man....why didnt iceman got injured or anything?.. ppl say because Logia can also use Haki to defend against Haki....unless WB didnt use any Haki when stabbing iceman or WB Haki was just bellow Par at that time due to injury?? but if so....when Monet is facing Tashigi....she mentioned that even if tashigi knew how to use haki....she just need to be faster than her to avoid getting hit...but for someone of Monet standard....why didnt she mentioned anything about using Haki to Defend Against Another Person Haki...since Monet is clearly more superior than Tashigi in so many ways....i mean thats what Iceman Did against WB? ...or am i wrong?? or Monet dont have any Haki at all? |
