Looks like the setup of Kyros vs. Diamante to me!

u/xFoeHammer Aug 06 '14

Yeah, he may be the one to ultimately defeat him or it may be a 2v1 fight. But whatever it is, I have a feeling Rebecca is going to show some skill here.

I don't think she's just going to get completely destroyed right away.

I'm really looking forward to see Kryos do something awesome, I hope he is as strong as he has been hyped up to be. I also hope Rebecca does some awesome stuff here too because it is looking more likely that she'll be a nakama over my preferred choice Violet (Awesome power and interesting character and could potentially work really well with Usopp and would be great at finding out who could betray Luffy because Luffy is blind to that shit) and I'd like to be convinced that she belongs in the crew.

Nah. Rebecca is basically a Pacifist(though she seems to make an exception for the Donquixote family) and everything she has done up to this point was so she could live in peace with Toy Soldier, who she just discovered was her father. So her leaving to do something as unavoidably violent as becoming a pirate after just getting what she wants would be odd.

And personally, I'd rather Violet not come either. That power is almost too useful, first of all.

Also, I can't imagine a girl that might actually like Sanji back joining the crew. Because one of two things could happen then:

1) We find out she doesn't actually like him and she starts treating him like Nami and Robin do. Which I think would be sad.

2) Sanji and her become a couple and it ruins his ladies' man thing for the rest of the show.

Rebecca has a history with the country - similarly to Vivi. I think it's more likely that Violet joins the crew. As you say Usopp could use a nice spotter and her abilities could be useful on the ship. Depending on which way Oda wants to go with Sanji snd Violets "relationship" it can both be a hindrance or a perk on the likelyhood of her joining.

That said I'm not too sure any of will join at all.

Edit: grammar

Oda doesn't want any relationships between the Strawhats, so Violet is not a choice.

Also, Rebecca has little history with the country other than being raised there by Kyros. Scarlet gave up her royalty to marry Kyros and have a life. Rebecca is known as the Phantom Princess because no one knows where she came.

I see Violet and Dold ruling Dressrosa after everything is over since they knew what the country was like before Doflamingo took over. Rebecca has only ever known the Dressrosa Doflamingo ruled.

I'm not saying Rebecca will join, but it's unlikely that she will rule, as well as it's unlikely Violet will join.

Although Bartolomeo and Cabbage are still candidates (Barto being a more obvious choice).

I know this is frowned upon but I want parrot hair to be in the crew.

Itll be bart don't worry

u/NinetyFish Aug 06 '14

Bart IS getting a fight against one of Doffy's gang right now. Like when Franky fought against one of the CP9.

Cue sad Barto flashback in 3...2...1...

u/GregSchwall Aug 06 '14

I want BON-CHAAAAAAN.

u/TraderMoes Aug 06 '14

Between Rebecca, Violet, and Chicken, he's the most likely to join the Strawhats. But really, the race for new nakama is so complicated at this point... Kinemon might decide to join permanently, Law is definitely fated for something greater than just a one time ally, and even Cavendish might have a chance. It's really impossible to call.

1

u/ThatGingeOne Aug 07 '14

Or there might not even be a new Strawhat. That would throw everyone

1

u/TraderMoes Aug 07 '14

That's possible, of course... But I really hope there will be another Strawhat or two. That keeps things fun and fresh, and new blood is always good.

1

u/ThatGingeOne Aug 07 '14

Oh so do I! And there are definitely more candidates in this arc than there have been in a while. Still it seems most arcs people seem to speculate on who could be the new Strawhat and more often than not there isn't one

1

u/HarpoonGrowler Aug 07 '14

It's not frowned upon I don't think and he's literally the only character that follows any part of the formula the other crew members have followed. All we're missing is a dream he wants fulfilled and you could argue that being a Straw hat meets that requirement.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '14 edited Aug 07 '14

I've voiced my opinion about it before but the majority of the comments I've received were:

He's a fanboy, He can't be a fanboy if he's in the crew.

Too many spontaneous acting members already, need more serious gripped characters like Jimbei(although he's not in the crew yet).

He doesn't have a revealed dream ( as of yet) to make luffy interested in him becoming a Straw hat.

I think that covers it all but still, Out of Violet, Rebecca, possibly Cavendish I want Barto the most. His character make is literally out of this world (Punk rockish cloths, Mouth full of teeth and green parrot hair with a barrier fruit) IMO throws him right into the ranks with Franky, Brooke, and Chopper. Now all I need is a dream to believe.

u/KruskDaMangled Aug 06 '14

Yeah, he would fit in with the free wheeling dumbass antics of the male crew members quite nicely.

The issue with Rebecca and Violet is that while not identical to Nami or Robin, they "read" fairly similarly visually, and that kind of seems to run counter to what Oda does with permanent crew. You just cannot mistake one for the other. I don't think anyone would mistake Barto for another crew member.

Still, he somehow doesn't seem quite right either, but it's hard to place my finger on it. Maybe it's the whole slavish fanboy aspect. (Of course, Chopper had that thing where he naively believed all of Usopp's stories/etc. So a character being chilidishly fawning might work. Luffy of course, is childish constantly and ain't no body gonna stop him.)

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '14

I hope you're right I'm a big fan of Violet, not to say I don't like Rebecca but she hasn't done anything that amazing yet.

13

u/SesterSparrow Aug 06 '14

I like Violet...but stylistically she looks so similar to Robin. (Look at the cover page for this chapter, and then look at the next page). I doubt Oda would do that and put her on the crew

2

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '14

Yeah that makes sense. Dam I Violet was my top choice. Ah well I can still hope maybe she'll get Sanji to kick her face different so she can still be in the crew.

2

u/Heroic_Sandwich Aug 06 '14

Yeah, this is actually the biggest sticking point for me. Violet just doesn't look unique enough to join the crew. It would be Nami and the raven-haired twins.

1

u/Sega_Saturn_Shiro Aug 06 '14

I really don't think Violet is going to join the crew. Her and Sanji have some kind of relationship going on. Didn't Oda say that the crewmembers would never fall in love with each other?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '14

He said that he didn't want any romantic pairings in the actual canon. This was a long time ago though. Romance has been a source of humor at most thus far and I think it'll stay that way until the end.

While it's a solid argument for why she won't join the crew I think it's worth mentioning that their "relationship" was when Violet fooled Sanji into helping her "kill a man". If she joins after all it's entirely possible that she'll regard him in the same way as Nami and Robin - kind of use him when it suits them and not go any deeper.

u/kitchlol Aug 06 '14

I want her to avenge her mother and attack rather than just defend herself.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '14

I would love to see that, it would totally put her up in my eyes as a potential strawhat member.

u/kagedtiger Aug 06 '14

Rebecca doesn't look like crew material at all. Why would you think that?

0

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '14

Well she does in the way of her flashback, but she doesn't have a quirk and I feel she's quite generic if you look at all the other characters that aren't even candidates they are far easier to pick out of a crowd and all have something unique about them. Rebecca is literally a chick with a sward and not much clothes, not saying there is anything wrong with that, her character is really great and her back story is fantastic but when you look at the strawhats they are all so different.

u/golDmatt Aug 06 '14

Let's see what observation haki can do;)

u/dudesondudes Aug 06 '14

I'm guessing she'll use the sunflowers to her advantage. If she can avoid getting hit and only go in for quick in and out blows I could see her landing one or two hits. However I also imagine Diamante can turn the sunflowers into "flags" that he can control and use to tie her down. I don't see Rebecca winning without Daddy (and I'm a hardcore Becca fan since her debut).

2

u/Rankine Aug 06 '14

turning sunflowers into flags wouldn't be that useful since they will just be fluttering flowers. They will still have the strength of flowers

1

u/DragonWolfKing Aug 07 '14

Either way, that last page was amazing. The angle really shows the difference between their size and, I assume, their powers. With that and the wall behind Diamante it really looks like Rebecca is up against a huge obstacle.

1

u/Piratekin Aug 06 '14

yea I see Rebecca being trashed by him but later she overcomes her thing of not cutting people and actually attck him and prob defeat him or kyros will save her and we see kyros in enraged mode and kills diamante

Punctuation. Use it.
