Reasons for and against Brook joining the crew

[yoniekai]

Well, he can still die. He just came back to life once, which I guess just means that he's twice as old as a regular person. But, if Brook joins, it would be like the "toping" nakama that Oda keeps having. Robin was the oldest and tallest SH, then Franky was, now Brook will be. Next will probably some 300 year old giant.

true, but they have to crush him then to kill him, he doesnt have blood or flesh so he's pretty susceptible to most attacks. plus he's super agile, and has great swordsmanship skills. damn funny too! i want him to be the next nakama.

but like the others said oda likes to lead on people, like in the case of franky and ropeman or kaku. never i expected franky to be the nakama until the rescue arc. who knows, maybe cindry gets to be the nakama

We don't know how fast or slow mer-people age, if they get a new nakama on fishman island, then they could be 40yrs old ... but by fishman standards they may just be 19 or so. I say 40 because at 30yrs a fish-man/woman tail splits and they can walk on dry land. I still think a mermaid would make a awesome addition to the crew. But I don't think we need many people older than franky ... Brooke doesn't count as far as age goes because he quit aging when he quit having Skin.

How old is franky anyways? Older than robin?

And who knows.. maybe brooke (if he joins) will be the wiseman of the SH. The eldest of the wise elders.

 

[Impel Down]

But then wouldn't Brook have to be wise? So far, he hasn't proven to be all that smart, just figuring out about salt, but then again he was on TB for quite some time. And Franky is like 34, which is older than Robin (28)

 

[yoniekai]

damn if brooke joins it'll be so fun! i love that guy! i love skull jokes, whoa brooke is the most popular op char in MH

 

[Impel Down]

Um, with the new chapter

I don't think you'll believe your eyes when you see how much more powerfull brooke is.. than ryuma. Brooke didn't Because He Didn't have Eyes to begin with. LOL

No but really Brooke could really wind up being the BackBone of the mugiwara pirates. XD

Brooke is the crazy character .. with a really good head on his shoulders. I'd say he's got Guts... but he doesn't!!

Brooke has to join... anyone who doesn't want him to....well thier more Heartless than brooke.
It's a man's Romance to tell many many skull jokes.

As amazing as those Skull Jokes were, Ryuuma doesn't really have eyes either.

[ANBU4U]

Brooke will join, I can fell it in my bones.

yohohoho! Skull Joke.

---

but he did say that he hadn't eaten in decades...
don't know if it was a joke or not...but anyways I get a feeling that we will see Brooke with Flesh eventually...

If I were Luffy I'd kick him off the crew if he grew flesh!

 

[Anti-panda]

Off topic .. this topic is quickly becoming a {violation post edit} trap.... LOL must tread carefully.

On topic.. --- I hope oda keeps up with brooke and his skull jokes... but the funniest part was when robin told franky to hit brooke because of his corny skull jokes.... that was great.

Just further proof that Brooke will fit in tremendously with the rest of the mugiwara's.
And as the manga proceeds futher I bet we'll have less and less holdouts against brooke ... there were plenty of "Those" people with Franky too.. but look at him ... SUPER!!!

 

[Impel Down]

It's seeming to me that the afro is becoming his "straw hat" or his "hands" or his "swords". That's making him even more like the crew members. Now all we need is his dream, which is probably like returning Bink's drink or something.

 

[OP_overlord]

i would love to see another nakama join the crew especialy one as cool and funny as brooke and he has so many jobs on the boat that need to be filled

 

[Kikuna992]

But if Brooke has a dream surely he will try to fulfill it like all the other SH pirates are trying to do e.g. Sanji all blue, Luffy One Piece. However how would Brooke boarding the Thousand Sunny as a crew member help him into achieving his dream? Surly it is quicker to just go in the opposite direction as the Mugiwaras are going as the Florian triangle is just before the half way point of the grand line. I don't know a lot about the geography of the one piece world so I don't know maybe it is quicker to carry on down the grand line to get to Laboon... Can you go backwards down the Grand line?

 

[Impel Down]

Well, can't his dream involve him traveling the GL? So, then he would totally benefit from joining them too. Him finding Bink is like Zoro finding Mihawk, minus the fighting part. And I don't see why you think finding Laboon would help him.

 

[Anti-panda]

hey hey hey guy's no spoilers in this section..

Spoiler

Laboon talk needs to go in the spoiler disscussion section until it's no longer the up coming or current chapter.

And ... navagating the grandline is hazardous .. just going forward so without a log pose or a eternal pose to show them the way it's probably next to imposible to go backward.. log pose would have to be set to a island farther toward the begining of the GL BTW.

 

[Impel Down]

Well, don't all the pirates who try to escape the GL die in the Calm Belt anyway? And sorry about the "you know what" thing, I never read the spoilers, I was just commenting on what the person above me said.
