All this reinforcing of "fishmen are so much stronger in the water" is basically so that Luffy and Hodi can have an actual fight where they appear to be on equal footing, even though Luffy's at a mass disadvantage.
Decken's chance of dying... low. I still think he's the most likely person to join the straw hats of anyone introduced on this island... and the chance of him joining is rather low. He's goofy/crazy enough, and I'm sure some "it was all just a misunderstanding" thing could be thrown out to make Luffy insta-forgive him.
Also, incoming Luffy "Why'd you stab him Hodi, aren't you nakama??!!?" outrage speech.

I think Jinbei is the most likely person to join. Shirahoshi will probably be another Vivi. MAYBE Hacchi, but I doubt it. I don't see how people can think that Hodi will join. The dude killed Shirahoshi's mother, and is Arlong 2.0. You would have to be crazy to think he will join the Strawhats lol.
I don't think Decken will die, but we will see.

Jinbei is already too well established to join; there's no backstory left to explore and he isn't even part of the crew yet. He also doesn't have a dream for the grandline(human fishman relation isn't going to be solved by going to the grandline). Hacchi too weak. Hodi is just undeveloped enough to have a redemption moment if done right. Shirahoshi needs to be shrunk to fit on the boat.
|
i can't see any of the fishmen joining the the strawhats, jimbei if anything, but he'll probably stay with shirahoshi and the princes and try to rebuild the island...why must we have a new crewmember each arc? BTW, what happened to the swamp guy?

I can't think of any other Strawhat who was as downright evil as Hodi is before he joined. Hodi joining would be like Crocodile joining up at some point. el oh el.

You notice that Crocodile did become Luffy's comrade during the fight to save Ace. Everything Hodi's done he's done in the name of wanting a piece of that @$$. Maybe he'll come out with mommy issues and Robin can go all Freud on him. I think if anything the bigger issue is that he doesn't really fit well on the crew. Hodi would just spend all day comparing dicks with Sanji unless they give him a real personality later.
edit: o wait, now that I think about he wants power of the kingdom doesn't he... maybe he has great ambitions for social reform that he hasn't told anyone yet!

Croc and Luffy weren't even close to "nakama" at Marineford. IIRC Luffy didn't even want Crocodile's help, and Jinbei had to convince him otherwise. The chance of Crocodile joining the crew is close to 0 if/when they meet up again. Joining temporarily in an alliance for survival=/=joining the crew.
Everything Hodi has done has included killing Shirahoshi's mom in cold blood, wanting to exterminate humans, and exterminate any fishman/mermaid who wanted to live in peace with humans. How exactly do you redeem that?

i believe you're getting trolled I also think that it will come down to either jinbei joining or squat, and i'm leaning towards the latter as i see this arc more of a "post 3 year gap while filling in racial issues that have been hinted at since arlong arc" kind of thing. More than anything I'm interested in seeing what role Noah has to play in it because it seems that it will have the most impact on the story so far.

It's like I've been saying all along... The crew needs a giant, a fishman, and another chick. Shirahoshi fits all three categories! She can just ride on a Sea King since she doesn't fit on the boat. :D

Pretty sure the Noa is the boat the queen intended the fishmen to use for when they were gonna live on land.
Remember the prophecy that Luffy was going to destroy Fishman island. I bet in the next few chapters Luffy's gonna destroy the bubble by accident, everyone gets on the ship and the kraken pulls it to the surface. So Luffy saves the day by defeating Hody and making the queen's wish come true at the same time.
All guesswork of course but I got a pretty good feeling about it.

FML, I mean vandardecken, not Hodi.

Bleach seems to catch up again... And has anyone read gintama? Is it good? I'm reading like 80% of the wsj stuff but the art of gintama doesn't seem to be that great...

We did know who they were, they were major characters during hachi's undersea adventures cover story. A better example of something like that would be that piece of promotional art that shows boa before she was even mentioned in the story.
also I am 99.99999% certain that nobody is going to be joining the strawhats this arc.
