People I can think of...
Hachi- a fishman on the group
Daz Nones-uhmmm I will rethink about it
Mr. 3- another uhhmmm
Crocodile- definitely not
How about Duval from Flying Fish Rider...
Why there is not at least one people from Skypiea join their crew Wiper and Gan Fall is good, and how Urouge go down in the first place
Another one good addition Gedatsu... Cause I want someone "winged" Strawhat...
Zoro and Brook fighting style is no way similar... they both use swords... but its no way similar...
Hachi i can see joining. Daz its another possibility however i dont think he fits the crew at all... Mr. 3 and Duval... well if buggy is too week for the crew as ppl have being saying here... what are those two? Crocodile its never going to happen.

Take all the crew one by one? I dont think so. Her hability is the one to make grow body parts wherever she wants... yet... her speed and power remains the same. Luffy is made of rubber enough said... Zoro and Sanji are way stronger and faster than Robin no way she could break their necks without geting her arms broken before that... Chopper could beat her too since his guard point would be quite efective against Robins abillity. Franky... well i dont think she is strong enough to break through metal... the only ones i can see her defeating are Ussop and maybe Nami and Brook. And even against brook... she could be dead before she even realize it... Robins powers are awesome... but she lacks in power and speed.
On other hand... Boa has a crazy ability but... she is also strong not like robin... and she has King's Haki... Making her way to strong to join the crew at this point... Robin got her bounty just because of her origins.... it had nothing to do with her power... However Sengoku recognizes the power of Hancock. That must mean anything...

Robin is arguably the smartest crew member, and she knows how to fight. She's had her DF powers longer than a lot of the crew have even been alive. She knows full well how to make the most out of her powers and how to fight well with them. The most important thing to remember is that she loves to use submission holds from impossible positions. The beauty about a lot of submission holds is that they'll work regardless of the strength of either person. Once a hold is successfully executed the user's won. The only member of the crew that could really fight against that is Chopper, because of his ability to instantaneously shape-shift. And even then, I think Robin could still take Chopper. I'm not saying Robin's the strongest of the crew, or that she could actually take a hit from any of the crew, because she'd be OHKO'd by everyone except Nami and Usopp if she actually got hit, but I do think she could win in a one on one fight if she played her cards right. And Robin is all about playing her cards right. >_>

Speed... its all about speed... by the time her arms apear in any part Luffy, Zoro or Sanji would break them in the moment... She cant bend metal so no submissions for franky (except if she does like she did in water 7 XD) and chopper's guard point renders submission moves useless... she is an expert in assassination but that takes caughting an oponnent of guard... that way she could kill anyone... but when not offguard thats a diferent story... look her mini fight against crocodile... she did not even had time to throw him water how would she have time to grab any of the 3 top warriors of the crew. And submission its not so linear as that... its locked its over... strenght does have a word to say... when there are a monstruous gap in strenght one can overpower a submission move... wich is the case.

I'm eagerly awaiting the Fishman Island arc. It's probably going to be one of the most significant arcs in the entire story for two reasons:

1) All pirates have to pass through Fishman Island to enter the New World.

2) Oda has been hyping up this arc for quite a few years now. We can expect some crazy stuff to happen here.
Fair enough, but my point was that Jinbei may not be the strongest fishman. A clue to this (a small clue mind you) is that he is referred to as the "knight of the sea" and not the king.

Squardo is from the new world right! Then he is far more stronger than Luffy and his crew.... Another thing I notice, one division captain of Whitebeard is fighting on par with Mihawk...

As you guys implied Robin is not as quick as everyone else in strawhats, her DF ability is not as useful in battle but it was good in supporting, or saving trapped nakama... Like he did to Zoro in Sabaody....

Is there a possibility of Daz Bones in the crew...

Now that breaks over I hope we will get some early spoilers next week.How about Blackbeard capturing both Poseidon and Pluton then sticking them together with duct tape and killing everyone off in battlefield?

Robin is one hell of a underestimated character...
She has not just great fighting skills, but also useful knowledge both inside and outside a battle scenario.

As for someone joining the crew, Buggy would be quite an ironic choice specially because, as someone said, he has a grudge against Shanks, and this would combine a top-tier Supernova with someone who is just hyping himself to the max... it's so implausible, but... who knows.

Buggy will likely get his own huge bounty raise and have all the more reason to continue as a captain with his inmate followers and reunite with his old crew (oh and Mr. 3), all of which to continue in search of captain John's treasure. He would have little reason to become a subordinate of Luffy.

Jimbei is nicknamed the "knight of the sea" because he acts as a body guard for Fishman Island. He is essentially the protector of his race and territory. However, I also do recall that when Jimbei was first revealed back in Chapter 528, his nickname was also translated as "Yakuza of the sea". If I'm correct with my very limited Japanese knowledge, "Yakuza" means a type of gang leader who enforces and acts upon his ideals and beliefs with great pride and honor. This description fits Jimbei very well given what we've seen from him so far. If I got the leader part right (and usually the leader is the strongest), Jimbei is most likely the most powerful fishman currently alive.

I also think so... We've seen little about Jimbei's power but we've seen him deal with moria without any trouble that must count to something. I also think he may be one of the strongest Warlords so yeah... probably he is the strongest fishman alive. However im looking forward to see what will happen in fishman's acr since Jimbei is somehow an aly to Luffy. Maybe WB will die and the whole island will become a mess. IT will be for sure a awesome arc.

Yes, "Knight" is taking a massive liberty on the meaning.
Jinbei was introduced as a 海侠 (Kaikyou), a mocked up original word by Oda meaning a 任侠 (ninkyou) of the Seas.
任侠 is a word referring to chiverly, almost always referring to a Yakuza style chiverly and honor.
It's usually used to refer to anything Yakuza from Yakuza films and fiction, a code of honor among the Yakuza, or an honorable Yakuza member himself.

Perhaps the translator wasn't very fluent of Japanese culture, and used the Chinese form of the word.
Jinbei does, however, obviously have a yakuza theme to him (I mean come on, he looks like a stereotypical Gokudo oyabun, and even talks about Jingi, a code of mutual honor and respect that must be maintained, commonly used in Yakuza narrative) and this is a Japanese manga. So that translation is most likely a misconception of the Chinese origin.

Thanks a lot for the info aohige. Given your vast/excellent knowledge of Japanese, I knew that what I had said concerning Yakuza would catch your attention .

When you say, "任侠 is a word referring to chiverly", do you mean the word "chivalry"? Because I couldn't find the meaning behind chiverly, so I'm not sure if this word exists. Chivalry makes perfect sense with what you were describing above, since it can basically be defined as the brave and courteous qualities of an ideal knight.

Yes, I have the bad habit of flipping the bird to the spell checkers.

It is a form of a chivalry, but in a Yakuza context. Not an European Knight context.

Lol. What you're saying might be right for the rest of them, but Robin would have no problem with Sanji because he would refuse to fight and be too busy drooling over her to defend himself.

SO. Has there been any speculation on what will become of whitebeard? After all he has done for his pirates up to this point, what does everyone think he will do? Will he destroy Sengoku and the marine Head Quarters behind him? Will he successfully rescue Ace or will he fail?


In my opinion, he will get as far as releasing Ace from his handcuffs (possibly with the help from Garp) or, actually even less. He will provide a route for the other pirates to rescue Ace. After that, most likely Luffy accompanied by many other pirates close at his side will get to Ace and help him leave.


As for the Pacifista, they will most likely be destroyed in White Beard's rage or at least still be in the picture as a huge force but they won't kill Ace.


And what about Ace? If he lives, what will become of him? Where is Dragon in all of this? So many possibilities.... O_o
