It makes sense as to why they wanted to do away with Moria. Losin to Luffy...gettin 1HKO'ed by Jimbei....add that to his age etc...he wasn't useful to them anymore. Compared to Hancock..inspite of her actions, is young and she is still very useful to them.

^Jinbei and Kuma aren't that far off from Moria as far as age is concerned, and yet the WG still found them to be of great use. Moria's disadvantage was merely his laziness (though that's actually one of the main reasons why I like him! ).
Anyway, I'm glad this thread was revived, because volume 59 will be released quite soon and it'll hopefully contain just as much juicy info as 58 did! I am hoping...... HOPING that Oda will give us something awesome like a full list of the vice admirals who serve in the marines, for one thing..... |

^Actually, Oda hinted a couple of years ago that a "former boss character" would accompany Luffy to the New World. If this new info is true, then it at least sorta lends credence to the theory that an old enemy would join (however, Hancock was never really much of Luffy's enemy, so I don't see how she would count).....

This is exactly how I feel. I would much rather Oda not give us any subtle hints as to who the next crewmember will be. That's just catering to the impatient fans who want everything revealed right away. There has to be some element of surprise.

Oda's hinted at major manga events a few times outside of the chapters, though. Back when the Water 7 arc was running he had hinted that a crewmate would die (which later turned out to be Merry). He actually revealed a rough sketch of Jinbei before he physically appeared in the Impel Down arc. And of course, the most recent hint he gave was the one about the current arc being Luffy's last adventure at 17. And again, he already kind of gave a hint that Luffy would at least have a NW ally who was a former enemy.....
But y'know, considering the latest spoilers that appeared, I wonder how many people will be clamoring for Bonney to join the crew? |
