Creepy lolicon stalker Van Der Decken confirmed.
I thought about this, but it doesnât make sense that Vander Decken did this. Her death wouldnât have done anything beneficial to capture Shirahoshi or gain the wealth he sought. He seemed more preoccupied with touching her amidst the confusion rather than stage a coup.
Itâs not impossible that a fishman did this, but unless Oda is channeling the Malcolm X assassination I think there were greater motives afoot.
well this whole thing does reak of Malcom X and MLK, though the roles are a little twisted and switched up. With the queen being MLK and FT being Malcolm X, but who assassainted who is different.

Hmm. I wonder how theyâre going to handle the princess joining the crew (if that happens)? Her role would be pretty limited especially on land adventures and due to her size, sheâll just be tagging along like Flipper.
Like the Strawhats werenât broken enough already, if the princess ever learned to control her power ⌠yeahâŚ
Maybe sheâll somehow get shrunk down⌠has there been a âshrink shrinkâ DF user introduced yet? lol
Iâm still hoping Jinbei will join.
I donât think itâs realistic for either one of them to join. Jimbei may not be a Shichibukai but he still represents one of (if not the) strongest fishman alive. The Mugiwaras are a crew of underdogs, and the dynamic doesnât seem natural.
I actually think Jimbei would be a perfect fit, yes heâs one of the fishman, and yes heâs a former Shichibukai but that was for political reasonsâŚso while he would instnatly jump to the top of the food chain for the strawhats, he wouldnât be overkillâŚhell we now know what his bounty was at. If they were to add another charcter it would have to be one that could compete with time skip LuffyâŚ

Oda has been fairly consistent with his pwer ranking dynamic, with the captain being the strongest and the 1st mate being the second strongest. Putting Jinbei in (at this point in time/ permanently) would only ruin his format. And seeing how Fishman Island will probably be very unstable after this event, Jinbei will probably be picking up the pieces.
Now donât get me wrong, I think a fishman is exactly what they need, but he/she would have to complement well with the crew⌠Jimbei acts more like a solitary representational figure than a crewmate.
Shiraroshi seems like she might join or something. I have a feeling Kizaru shot her.
I donât really agree with this. This may have been true pre-time skip. I wouldnât really consider the Mugiwaras underdogs anymore. Iâm pretty sure Luffy would best Jimbei at this point, and Zoro probably would as well.
If anything I would say Jimbei is probably the ONLY fishman I can think of that would even be a worthwhile addition to the current line up.
Jimbei is gonna pull a Marcus Garvey and lead his people back to Africa
At least we know how Madame Sharkfinsâs prophecy is going to come true now via Shirahoshi.
Just started reading One Piece, and itâs sooo sick. Iâm on chapter 250 right now and Iâm reading it on Mangafox. Is there a better place to read it? The quality varies a lot from chapter to chapter.
Thats my thinking EXACTLYâŚno other Fishman seems up to snuff, and Luffy & Zorro could IMO best him, his position as a schubakee whatever was politic, not because he was top 7 strong. His highest bounty was 250M Beli, which puts him in range WITH the rest of the crew - heâd be a top threeâerâ, but not the top. Plus his expereience in the new world is EXACTLY what the Strawhats need.

Agreed 100%. Not only that, but Jimbeiâs conversation with Ace about protecting his brother for him. After what they went through together during the prison break, the war, and recovery, I donât see him leaving Luffyâs side after this. This whole flashback story also serves the purpose of easing the tension between him and Nami over the whole Arlong situation. There is no doubt in my mind that Jimbei is going to be the final addition to the crew.
I agree that Jinbei would make a great addition to the crew. The Strawhats are in the big leagues now, so I think itâs likely that the last recruits will be quite powerful (since theyâre headed into the New World). Jinbei even has his own flashback now (which seems to be a recurring theme for each Strawhat member).
With that said, Iâm still hoping that one of the last Strawhat recruits is a female character. I was personally hoping that the Strawhats would meet some powerful female character in Fishman Island.
As I stated earlier, whoever makes even a hint of having a dream is going to be the new crew member.
Jimbeiâs dream seems to be protecting Fishman Island and ensuring the safety of its inhabitants.
I do agree that Jimbei would make a nice addition in the long, but I just donât see it unless more events play out and he gains a new resolve. As for his commitment he made with Ace, Iâm sure Ace didnât mean protect Luffy for a lifetime, just to get out of Impel Down and the War alive.
Weâll see how this all plays out, either way it would be a win/win.
I hope they make more One Piece watches of that caliber. I hope to get 50% off the Shanks watch 'causeâŚ
[Spoiler=] it only has one hand! :p[/Spoiler]

I donât see Jinbei making the crew, aside from his strength, he brings nothing to the group that one of the other members donât bring.
Besides, he seems likely to be fodder for Hodi or one of his goons and their roid rages.
Youâre kidding right? Jimbet brings plenty to the table: Strength, experience, able to communicate with sea creatures, not to mention the fact that heâs a fishman and can dive deeper than the strawhatâs submarine plus Luffyâs crew is kind of lacking in the underwater excursion capabilities. How many of SHs can make a freakinâ kamahameha wave out of water?? lol
I really hope he doesnât get shoved into jobber status to put that ridiculous looking Hodi over⌠I hate everything about his design⌠looks like a beach bum who should be wasting away in Magaritaville.
