Discussion Romance in OP

[bakashijinsan]

that made me laugh

robin and chopper!

 

[bax]

Hey why isn't Robin V. Chopper a choice?

This is really amusing Look into the far future, after all the SH adventures ended. Can you see what I mean?

Anyway, if there is romance in OP, it will happened after they finally reached "One Piece". Looking at current developments, it's impossible for them to have romance on the ship. Storywise, we maybe got to see the buildup of that romance, but not the true one before they reached their goals. This is only if Oda wants to addup this kind of thing into OP IMO.

 

[Dragonzair]

Another cute crack pairing would be that bartender lady back in Luffy's hometown, and Shanks.

And as for Chopper and Robin...besides stating the obvious (XD), another horrifying thing is that Chopper is the youngest of the crew (about 15, methinks), and Robin's the oldest.

That calls for paedophile. >_>;

*cracks up some more*

Agreed very much. The only canon couple I can see for now is Ussop and Kaya, and probably Kohza and Vivi. And it may be possible that there may have been something that had happenened between Smoker and Hina. Otherwise, I don't see why she was willing to save Smoker's ass from being kicked out of the Marines a long time ago.

If Oda is going to add romance, it's at the end. Maybe a glimpse of the future, or just there and then. Or possible in two/three volumes before that. For now, he'll just put small moments and whatnot, methinks.

Hey the pedo thing isn't really a issue ... If it's good enough for a United States congressman ehm... coff coff (mark foley) then it's good enough for ... no switch that I have higher expectations of One Piece than I do any politician.
But seriously robin and chopper do have this whole little brother / big sister mentality and vibe going on ... expecially during the whole davy back fight saga.

Exactly. But no romance. XD

Awww...Tashigi's leading the polls. Although, I do see that as another possiblity, but I'm not that fond of it...for all I want to believe, Zoro found Kuina as an older sister/best friend/opponent to beat/etc. XD It is still funny to see those to in a scene together, but I can't imagine Tashigi with a pirate just yet.

 

[bax]

Better look again DZ. That Usopp and Kaya pair has just regain the poll crown again. I guess other than Vivi, Kaya is the only girl that seems to admire her man. So, I can see where this is coming from.

Brave warrior of the sea and a doctor. Hmm... Not a bad pair for romance in Op I presume.

 

[bakashijinsan]

not with all the "justice" and fanaticism about swords that she got as of the moment. she'll forever see Zoro as a criminal unless they have a small talk.

Kaya looks up to ussop in a girl-who's-in-love way and you can guess very well on why ussop is so attached to going merry so much since it was given to them by Kaya. so they're pretty much the ones that we'll see that'll have a romantic ending.

Vivi and Koza of course is a pair that can be tied up but we all know what's going on between those two so no exploration needed.

maybe we could see Straw Hat BABY at the end of the grand line, but in which combination??? :P

Like in the davy back fight when sanji starts imagining that he has a daughter. (when they start talking about thier progeny taking on thier debt of service if they loose.)
But The pairing i d like to see is nami v. luffy.. could you imagine someone who had luffys strength or potentail strength and namis brain and deviousness... awesome.

Anime, right? I don't remember this in the manga...(btw, which episode was that, if so?)

As for Luffy and Nami, I'd love that too. If not for the possibility of Nami being...a lesbian (Ask Genma chan *Hermie* for details on why; it's understandable) XD.

Yep it's in the anime ... only... look at ep 217 ... It's one of the few things i acctually really like that the anime adds.

if you guys vote for Zoro and Robin 
better look again at how ODA put tashigi in the story....
look at her design and look at the way Zoro talk when he's facing her

beside this one....
i think Sanji and Nami is going to end up falling in love at the very end of OP

It doesn't mean that Oda couldn't use Tashigi's character as someone who could annoy Zoro, or at least scare him away. And there was never anything between Zoro and Kuina. XD

Untill I see Tashigi forgetting all about her 'Justice' that she totally believes in, I won't see her as a person falling for a pirate, moreso for Roronoa Zoro. The person who she has the most vengeance against. Although, this vengeance thing can be proof of something that might happen later, but I'd rather stick to the safe side for now. XD

What I can see in the future though, is that she develops mutual respect for him in the end. I can see her jsut like Smoker. Both of them into moral justice, rather than absolute justice. So she'll probably have a sort of friendly relation with Zoro in the end? XD

I always thought that between Tashigi and Zoro there was a misunderstanding. And Tashigi knew that was Strawhat crew which saved Alabasta nation from Crocodile, who was protected by the governement.

 

[Anti-panda]

Well look at how both tashigi and smoker reacted to the fiasco in arabasta, It's obvious that thier "Justice" and the World Govt. "justice" don't mingle or coincide.
Sadly thou it's not as obvious as the fact that both tashigi and smoker are a long .... looonnnng ... way away from being on any sort of friendly terms with any pirates let alone .,... romance.
I wonder why smoker hates pirates so much when he obviously admires the Pirate king gol D. roger soo much... but alas that is for a different topic.
I say Smoker @ Hina is about 5000x times higher probability than smoker @ tashigi thou.. they seem to have more of a platonic relationship.. more like Father daughter... or Older Brother + Baby Sister.

 

[Dragonzair]

She said she hated Roronoa Zoro for being a cold blooded killer, and is on a quest to gather all the swords from criminals. I think before she met Zoro, she didn't know he was a pirate, so I'm jsut wondering why she hate this agenda against him. But now that he is, that is what makes him against her.

And yeah. That's why I said towards the end they'd probably develop mutual respect for each other. Since her and Smoker knows that the SH crew helped overthrow Crocodile, and possible, more in later chapters. I'm still wondering what Smoker wants with them though, since him and Tashigi are still after them, plus he even gave Aokiji a message to give Luffy. But I'm going off topic, so never mind. XD

Mutual respect, yeah. Romance, not yet. 'Yet' is the key word, actually. XD Until Oda actually shows much more scenes with Zoro and Tashigi interacting in any other way than shouting at each other's head. XD

Spoiler: because it's off topic XD

I think it's because he's always wondered why the Pirate King smiled when he was killed, much the same way Luffy did when he was about to be executed. From the way he talked about Gl D. Roger, it seemed obvious that he actually saw the execution itself. Which means he had lived in Logue Town since he was probably a young man, possibly child. Seeing Gol D. Roger smile made him much more interested in him. Much the same way he is now with Luffy.

I say Smoker @ Hina is about 5000x times higher probability than smoker @ tashigi thou.. they seem to have more of a platonic relationship.. more like Father daughter... or Older Brother + Baby Sister.

Yeah. I agree with you on that. Even if I like that crack pairing much more than Smoker/Hina, it's just not meant to be. But the father-daughter relationship is hilarious though. XD Smoker/Hina is deifinitely a high probability. They've both got a differnt sense of Justice, yet Hina helped stop Smoker from getting kicked out. o.O

 

[Luckas]

But Zoro isn't a cold blooded killer, and about being a criminal we can dispute that a lot.

 

[bax]

Yeah. Zoro is like doing all he can to live. And plus, he's like a "villain" with his own motives and goals.

 

[Dragonzair]

Hm. Yeah, that was why I was sort of confused why she hated him in the beginning. She should've known that he was a Pirate Hunter.

 

[Dark Zeza]

I think Tashigi said she hated Zoro because he use the sword for bouty hunting in the beginning. It seem she dont like the way he misuse the sword (using sword to get money). So later on she will know that he use the swords in good way.
