It seems that Caribou has rejoin the story
Yes, I wonder what he will do.

Remember that he also overheard Shirahoshi being a legendary weapon. If he also learns about Luffy and Momonosuke being able to hear the voice of all things, that may become important plot points later on, given that he is a (literally) slimy/untrustworthy individual.
 
Yes, maybe Robin and Sanji will become a couple towards the end of the series?
 
Robin is like 10 years older than Sanji, she clearly has no romantic interest in him (or any guy in the crew for that matter. The only one she's received flirting from consensually is Franky), and Sanji objectifies all women just like his brothers. There's no logical way they would be a couple. They respect each other, that's it.
 
It's pretty unfortunate that the Numbers were a non-factor, and we're already down to a single Tobi Roppo when they've done almost nothing collectively.
  • Ulti tussled with Base/Gear 2nd Luffy a bit... Also trashed Nami and Usopp--shocker.
  • Sasaki did absolutely nothing.
  • Who's Who did next to nothing, which is very disappointing.
  • Page One also did nothing after his fight with Sanji.
  • X Drake basically assisted in fighting Apoo... so practically nothing.
  • Black Maria is probably about to get annihilated by Robin in 1021, let's be honest. At least she beat up Sanji... but obvious reasons.

The Beast Pirates are falling rather quickly. Hopefully King and Queen put in some work before they are taken out, too.
  • Jack has done enough for me. He took out the Sulong Minks, and was only defeated by Sulong Neko + Inu immediately after that. Now he's getting a decisive battle against Inuarashi, which is perfect. The only thing I'd change is that Nekomamushi be there too, but it makes perfect sense for him to find Perospero.
If Queen loses to Sanji somehow, his only feat is beating Chopper... ... ... Wat.

Okay. Never mind then.
 
I don't think that Yamato will die. He is hyped to join the Straw Hats.
 
I'm I the only Robin-Zoro shipper on here?! Zoro gives off big brother vibes in the crew while Robin gives off big sister vibes.
 
Zoro is only interested in self-improvement, not romance.
 
There is 0 romantic interest in the crew. If anyone thinks otherwise, that's wishful and perverted thinking. They are a group of friends.

Face it. Hancock and Luffy will both die single. Sanji's only hope is getting with Pudding.
 
I wouldn't say that it is perverted thinking, but I agree that the series works much better without romance. At least unless Sanji hooks up with Pudding near the end.

To be frank, it is quite perverted. A lot of viewers who want these characters in the SH crew to have romantic connections are warping what is intended. They are a family, not whatever fanfic nonsense they believe the SHs to be.

A lot of these characters already have romantic interests anyways, just that they have yet to fully bloom (Usopp's got someone back at home who fully supports him, for example). People like Luffy don't have any romance on their mind, and probably never will.
 
Yes, I agree that it twists the series away from what is intended in an inappropriate manner, but perverted is a too strong word.
 
I have a higher threshold for what counts as perverted than just drawing pretty women in bikinis. That's harmless by most standards.

They were introduced too late think of all the other SH they were always introduced in the early parts of the arc. Makes no sense for just some random to join the crew. Especially a person who’s just going to leap frog sanji as the new monster trio.

Tama and Momo should join the crew and be the shanks and buggy

Saying people are perverted Bc they think 2 people on the SH can date is weird and totally not true. I personally think some of the SH can date or get together after the end of the journey. My pick for the most realistic is Franky and Robin especially how Oda draws them together on most of the cover stories.
 
The Monster Trio isn't a special role in the SH crew, that's just the title that the crew give to Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji since they're the three strongest members and the gap between them and the rest of the crew is noticeable, so it's likely not even a set in stone. With Jinbe and potentially Yamato joining the crew who are likely on the level of the MT, it probably won't stay any longer. Besides we haven't seen everything Sanji's got, he might pull off something that would place him above Yamato or equal to them. Maybe we will get the Monster Quartet/Quintet or the Monster Trio will simply not exist anymore after the arc.
 
It’s been consistent Luffy Zoro and Sanji fighting the top 3 people I don’t think that’ll ever change you don’t see Jinbe fighting a commander and he’s already at his peak not like Sanji who will continue to grow and grow.

I doubt Oda will change up his bread and butter for Yamato.
 
Fair on the growth part but Jinbe just finished fighting Who's Who, for all we know he's gonna go and help someone fight against a commander (unlikely but it can happen).

We will have to wait and see, Oda could easily pull a fast one on us and do something different.
 
We still tryna put Jinbe up with Sanji?

Sanji just burned Queen and sent him spinning without a raid suit.
Jinbe's struggling with a Tobiroppo.
Wtf
