Hm, my theory for the fact that the island only consists of women was that the empress crew takea along female (orphan?) babies and deliver them to one of the villages. But if that spoiler is correct then that theory is no good.
So... Is this pirates empress Lola's mom? If so, wouldn't she leave Luffy alone if she found out that the strawhats helped Lola? Although it might require Nami to confirm that with the Vivre card (fact that she's a girl probably won't hurt either). As for Margaret joining, I suppose Luffy might be interested but he's really got other things to worry about for now. Like finding the rest of his crew and getting back to his ship. About Kuma's transport, it could really be 3 days. For one thing the coating was delayed anyway because Rayleigh got involved by holding off Kizaru, and just because the coating is done it doesn't mean that they will get back to their ship in the planned timespan. |

That is what one would automatically think after hearing the words describing her (of course, it also tells something about Lola's character). But, if Lola's crew met her, then she acts only normal in the seas, not in the island. Or, she is forced to act so in the island, for reasons currently unknown.

Ha ha, I loved when Margaret asked Luffy to give her his balls (she literally thought they were "golden balls"! ). She seems to be awfully naive... kinda like Chopper, actually. I'd love to see the interaction between those two if she actually does end up joining Luffy...
Oh, and apparently Luffy hops on Aphelandra's boobs when making his getaway (LOL WUT). |

But that wouldn't explain how to whole population thrives: remember no two of any DF exist... Well, I really want a new crew member from Kuja. It seems like a great idea. Another female crew member. Plus, I support that point about her NOT having a DF power. That would be great.

Also, the full translation of that script explains that Hancock took the strongest amazons along with her on her voyage. Therefore, this proves once and for all that NOT ALL of the amazons are reclusive. And.... Margaret actually asks Luffy about his balls twice. Ye gods, that's even worse than Brooke asking for a glimpse of panties.... |

Going out on a limb here...
We know how Amazon Lily keeps its population going - the elite warriors go out on ships and come back pregnant, and only bear girls. (As a side note, this probably means Margaret isn't an elite warrior, unless there's an age limit). Now, can you imagine these elite warriors wanting "weak" men to mate with? I rather doubt it. They seem to worship "strength". Okay, now follow this line of thought... if the strong women want strong men, then the strongest women would want the strongest men. Prediction: Luffy will end up in a battle with Boa Hancock, where if he loses he dies and if he wins he has to "marry" Boa As a side note, those ships would be good for Luffy to get away on. He'd just have to win over some women sailors to his side somehow |

I would not say so... i got her at about 10-15% only
a little interaction like that doesn't mean too much of anything... i mean Luffy and Paulie went even furthar than that by having a pretty good heart to heart moment when they were strapped to the floor but that never worked out... And he had a bonus due to the fact that the strawhats needed a shipwright Signs that would help indicate that Margaret would become a strawhat... -She becomes exiled by the other amazons and thus is pushed to leave forever... this however is still weak as the arc could easily lead her getting back in good with the amazons by changing the nature of how they regard men ("men aren't evil!") and/or adjusting their beliefs ("Hancock is teh evils!") and may even lead to her becoming the new leader.... 25% -Having a real heart to heart moment to Luffy... still not certain as with the example with Paulie... 50% -She express a life long heart felt dream to see the whole world... or really, any difficult life long dream would be good so long as it requires her to leave the island... now this is a pretty strong indication though some dreams can be obtained on their own... 75% -indications that she has a really dramatic past with an accompanying flashback... that would pretty much clinch it... 100% |

So basically... you're saying that the Kuja tribe is the same as the Chinese Amazons from Ranma 1/2? Eh... maybe. ...I still like the possibility of Boa turning out to be Luffy's mom better, though. Quote:
Or he could just knock them out, which is more his style anyway. It's not like Sanji is there to stop him, anyway.... or is he? |

As things currently stand, Camie would be about as likely to join (ie not very). |

Either way, I think there's a high chance Luffy's going to have to solve things by force. Quote:

I like to think that we will see someone join the crew before they all join up again and continue on to the New World. having all the crew not know what awaits in the NW is what I would like to see. That part of the journey should be new and unexpected for all of them. To see one of the amazons join I think is pretty high, in that Luffy is the one there. More to the point, where ever Luffy landed is best chance we'll see a new crewmate. .......still waiting on the death by "snu-snu"!

Luffy asking Margaret to join his crew after she does something cool in turn raises the chances of her having a dramatic past and big dreams by like 75%, which, once fulfilled, makes her chances of joining the crew 100%... their have been those that turned down Luffy before, but he was not very hardcore about them.... Thus is stand by my points Quote:

For this new chapter I have only one thing to say!There's no new shichibukai It just doesn't make sense from some facts!
I really hoped this chapter would show what the hell happened to Ace...Or some news from the battle of shichibukai and Whitebeard!And I also want to see what Garp wants to do with Rayleigh...Damn I can't wait I want to see more :P! |

I wonder if Luffy will really stand a chance against Hancock if he's forced to fight her? Judging from the fact that she's widely known as the Pirate Empress, that would imply that she's at the same level of strength as Rayleigh and the Yonkou. If that's the case, I'm not really sure that Luffy would be ready for such an epic matchup, especially so soon after the crazy events of Sabaody....
