Reasons for and against Brook joining the crew

[Paz42]

no i can see what anti-panda is saying on the right hand side of the image there is deffinatly some one sitting on a chair playing a violin could oda really think that far ahead?

And i think the there is no worrie of brooke taking over the roll if pervert sanji is subtle about it and has more feelings of love then perv where as brooke seems straight to the point and i think that annoys sanji

 

[Impel Down]

I'm sure they could get into quarrels about how to treat a lady, Brook suggesting panties, Sanji suggesting softening them up with wine and dinner. But, I do agree that they are very different in how they approach women. It's high time they get a straight mugiwara on board besides Sanji too, so I'm glad that Brook is a pervert. Besides, it's obvious that Sanji is more of a breast person, while Brook likes the ass, so they're different.

I agree with the first part about arguments on how to treat a lady (though Sanji and Brooks fighting will not be as major as Sanji and Zoro's, it'll just be when they meet a woman, probably) but I disagree about calling Sanji the only straight Straw Hat. Nami's "Shiawase Punch" (when she flashed them all at the end of the Alabasta arc) and their reactions (falling of the wall they climbed over, blood spurting out of their noses, and Sanji's the hardest) proved that all the Mugiwara's are straight. And about the last part... it's true that Brook seems more like a butt person, since he has an obsession with panties, but how is it obvious that Sanji is a breast person? He seems to like the whole woman.

Well, at Drum Island, he focused on her breasts, so that's what I'm going with. And I guess Usopp is straight too, since he said "thank you" when he caught Nami in the shower at TB. But, still, I think another perverse SH would really make things more interesting.

What chapter was that on Drum Island, I don't remember that. Though there was that part where Zoro said she was small and Sanji immediately assumed that Zoro was referring to the size of Nami's breasts... But yeah another pervert in the crew would make for great comedy whenever a new female character was introduced, especially because they are two opposite types of pervert. (Sanji is the suave kind, Brook is the horny kind.)

 

[Impel Down]

Even though he claims to be a gentleman. But, both Sanji and Brook have sort of a "graceful" way to fight, if you call they way Sanji kicks graceful, which I do. Seems like Brook is kind of a "for everyone" character.

i think wanting something and actually having it is 2 different things.luffy wants brooke to join the crew (as we have seen in last chapter).but mr luffy doesnt and will not always get what he wants (Except for being the pirate king though) becauseeeee things can be out of his control sometimes,for instance: brooke dies, brooke doesnt want to join (coz luffy fails to convince him or their goals dont match). the bottom line,i dont see two swordsmen in a crew.its like having 2 quarterbacks in football, or having 2 point guards in a basketball team.it will devalue zorro's goal and roles in the crew (as a fighter).if brooke joins,now will we see 2 sword's fights everytime luffy decides to battle?no way...one leader in the field is enough

 

[yoniekai]

we have yet to see zoro's reaction to brooke's fighting style, so until that happens, zoro agrees with brooke being a nakama

 

[Impel Down]

Zoro hasn't really seen Brook fight, has he. He'll probably say he has like pussy sword fighting and they'll argue over how to fight with swords: slashing or fencing.

 

[neild]

im so scared that brooke will join the group given his connection with laboon. u guys know how luffy values such friendship.i just dont want zoro's uniquness to become not so unique swordsman anymore.besides brooke will live behind zoro's shadow as the 2nd greatest swordsman ever life.is that the kind of dream a pirate king crew should have?thats why i dont think he should join.however its up to oda though...

 

[yoniekai]

i feel that too, i want zoro to be the only swordsman in the crew. but we'll see. so far there are more good prospects than bad

 

[Paz42]

even though zoro is a swordsmen there styles are totaly different which is one point another point if zoro does have a problem with him being a swords man well if my theory that zoro with end up fighting ryuuma then technically he will have already fought brooke and plus zoro is unique in the fact he uses three swords the only other person weve seen like that is his shadow what ever his name was brooke joining would be a really good thing in my opinion hesgot lots going for him

 

[War]

Well, I estimate there's about a 70% chance that Brooke's joining.

For:
1) I don't think he'll be able to go back to Laboon easily. Seeing that he doesn't have a ship, crew and logpass.
2) his original crew had set out to circumnavigate around the world before coming back. I guess he should want to accomplish that, whatever reason he has.
3) after he learns that Luffy met Laboon, & will fulfill his promise made to Laboon after getting One Piece, I guess he'll follow Luffy too.

Against:
1)After being stuck for so long, he rids himself of all other desires and desperately wants to fulfill his promise made to Laboon so he heads back.

well i guess now luffy has a crew who won't die.am i right? he is a zombie who cant die,isnt it?even with the use of salt..

 

[mugen]

no....Brooke is just a skeleton....but still a skeleton ...very awkward...and he has a hat as well
for those who think there can't be two similarities with mugiwaras

 

[War]

well i guess now luffy has a crew who won't die.am i right? he is a zombie who cant die,isnt it?even with the use of salt..

Actually, no. His devil fruit grants him a second life, if I'm not wrong.

This is just his second life. If his head gets chopped off or whatever, I think he should die. Or his bones are shattered to pieces, etc.

Anyway, Oda doesn't kill in One Piece.

 

[Akainu]

he had a sword stuck where his brain's supposed to be... shouldnt that have killed him?
anyways who do you think will join SH if Brook doesnt? Just in case he does the vivi again

 

[Anti-panda]

Please people quit being so narrow minded .. zoro is the swordsman aboard the ship. Just beacause Brooke uses a sword doesn't mean that he will take that away from zoro. I've listed several reasons why thier different styles work .. i'm not going over that again.
But aside from the sword thing. Brooke is a awesome character with depth and quirky personality that we've come to expect about our mugiwara's. He tells skull jokes... awesome and he's a perverted skelton who takes dumps. We never got that kind of depth on Vivi. Brooke is joining ... no spoilers but... after the last chapter its all but set in stone. And since it'll be a long time before the strawhats make it back around the grandline and see laboon, and since navigating the grandline backwards is next to impossible without a eternal pose, brooke will have to stay with them because he couldn't make it to laboon without it. Plus even if he did have a eternal pose he'd have a hard time making it being a skeleton and having no one to help him.

 

[studwo]

Brook should join the pirate crew. The only thing i worry now is.. will the same thing hapen again in alabasta arc? Princess Vivi wanted to join the pirate crew , and there comes the marine. Strawhat prirate crew is forced to ignore her

 

[neild]

unless he dies...like killed by ryuma
