While all that is true. Oda is bringing a new era, like you (Lonewolf) had said on my page, Oda's theme is "times will change", Hancock is weaker than Luffy. The fact that shes obsessed with him is what makes her weaker than anything else. And on top of the "trend" of Luffy's new additions being unknowns, I highly doubt you'll come across "unknown" pirates in the New World. So any addition in the New World would be most likely a person that already has a bounty. On top of that, powerful additions to the crew wouldn't be a bad thing, the New World is filled with people "who power will only exceed our wildest imagination". Strong additions would probably be what can keep them in the game. By adding to their overall strength, because as its be hinted numerous times in the manga. The New World is nothing like the Grand Line. I think another testament to the strength and experience is that a lot of even seem to have been through and/or seen a Buster Call (based on the comment said in the chapter when the Vice-Admirals were lined up). So based on all that, I don't think Pirate Empress Boa Hancock joining the Strawhats would be that much of a bad idea (or out of the realm of possibility). And as we see with Whitebeard, just because Hancock is with the Strawhats doesn't mean she can't protect her country.

I just think that it's a little too predictable, and maybe partially redundant to have a character with an established backstory and connections to return to join the crew. Oda is usually pretty unpredictable, and so I think the next crew member will be completely out of the blue. I also don't know how well a heartless Empress would fit in with the rest of the crew. Although he DOES like to have beautiful women join the Straw Hats, lol. I would love to see it, but I'm not sold on that it will until it actually happens. |

Well i just hope Oda adds another female to the crew, be human , fish or something else.
But truth be told i rather luffy get his last member in his crew before the new world so we could watch all them grow together until they meet raftel. The last place they have to go before they enter the new world is fishman island so it would have to be there . |

it would be too weird if she joined only because shes stronger than luffy. She might not be able to beat luffy in a fight because of her infatuation with him holding her back but she is able to defeat people stronger than luffy. and just an example of Hancock being stronger than luffy is that the marines and world Gov trust her to help balance out the war against whitebeard and his crew by putting her in the forefront of the battle.

That being said, I fully agree that there is no way in hell that Mihawk would lose to anyone on this field of battle besides possibly Whitebeard, maybe the Admirals (I'm still undecided on whether or not Mihawk would be stronger than an Admiral (I don't really care if he is or isn't, I'm simply neutral on the issue)), and maybe Sengoku. He should be able to beat everyone else. That doesn't mean, though, that a fight with Jozu would be extremely easy (he is Whitebeard's 3rd in command after all); I expect Jozu to pull of something surprising, before Mihawk rips him a new one. |

Man, what im most curious about is what can the blue fire dude do. He most be strong as he ranks higher then Ace and second only to whitebeard. Not only that but he stoped and admiral, who we have already seen rip through the supernovas like paper, in his path. I expect a lot from him. oh and i think were goin to see Mihawk do some really cool stuff, after all they need to build him up for his epic battle with Zoro. Let just say i woudnt want to be diamond dude right now.

Bear in mind, this is not meant as an attack. I have asked you to explain your position several times, and, at best, you give me mostly short (but not sweet) responses that almost always conclude with you calling someone a fanboy (which is your end all argument for anyone that disagrees with you). To clear up any confusion, and to, if nothing else, construct something that will stop all the potentially annoying people that needlessly call you a troll (which you are not), simply write a detailed post concerning why One Piece is (currently or otherwise) bad (this goes for Phenomenal as well). Afterwards, you need only reference your post, even link to it, and call those that unfairly attack you trolls themselves and potentially even call in a moderator to get the negative posts to stop.

edit: I misundersdtood the "mountain of evidence line", you were reffering only to Swordsman being among the elite (I though you were reffering to Shanks being a swordsman). So, I agree with you that a Swordsman can be among the elite. That being said, why would this make Shanks look bad? We already know that Shanks and Mihawk are 2 of the strongest individuals in the entire world (there are maybe 3 or 4 individuals that we can speculate as being stronger than them (1 for sure is Whitebeard)), so why is them being nearly equal in anyway bad? Quote:
To put it another way, we have seen Magellan use his sword just as much as Shanks, so does that mean Magellan is a swordsman? Or, should we just take a wait and see approach? The safest approach, and one that doesn't make an ass out of you and me (), is to just wait and see. You can speculate, sure, but you cannot assert or in anyway argue that Shanks is a swordsman, because that contridicts the speific evidence that Shanks has not been defeated by Mihawk (i.e. if Mihawk is the best swordsman, then how has he never defeated Shanks?).

You know I always wondered about that. Shanks and Mihawks were equals and it was never stated a clear winner between the 2, so was it that Mihawk was the strongest swordsman. But Shanks doesn't seem like the kind of guy that cares about stuff like that, but on the same note, Mihawk doesn't seem like the type to take a title such as "The World's Strongest Swordsman" if he really didn't deserve it. But being the Second Strongest doesn't mean you can't be strong enough to be a Yonkou though.

There are too many unknowns when it comes to Shanks and Mihawk. What was the nature of their duels? Plus there's the fact that those duels were long ago and we have no idea how they have developed since then. As for Shanks, I'd say he is a swordsman since that's what made him interesting to duel for Mihawk. However that doesn't mean that's all there is to him, while Mihawk's focus is obviously on swordsmanship.
At the moment Mihawk seems to be portrayed as being slightly below Yonkou level, with his attack being stopped by a commander. However, we're talking about a commander from the strongest pirate crew here, so he's not exactly a pushover. |

Ok. You know what.
Just because Mihawk got his attack stopped by a Commander doesn't mean he isn't Yonkou Level. He attacked got stopped simply and only because the 3rd commander was a Diamond-Man. Lets wait until the next chapter (or whenever Oda shows the fight between them) before we jump to conclusions. |
