New Chapter Updater. Currently on chapter: 811

In my opinion, Law joining would screw everything. He has been trained by Donquixote Doflamingo and he is supposed to be on par with Luffy. Considering what Oda said about the Monster Trio always being the Monster Trio, I doubt Law would join.

Secondly, about the future nakama, I take Jinbe for granted after the end of the Pirate Alliance Saga.

I have a theory about Bellamy being Corazon's son and Doflamingo's nephew (and thus the reason he survived up until now from Doffy's rage over his failures), considering the fact that Corazon and Bellamy's faces look the same. This would give a reason to Law to invite Bellamy and thus make him his subordinate.

Bartolomeo on the other hand has his own crew. He has the Strawhat material being capable of being funny and badass in one chapter and his powers can work with anybody in the crew. Bartolomeo could help perfectly the weaker members against stronger enemies in 2 vs 1 battles. After all, in order to take down a Yonko, they would need a perfect strategy and Bartolomeo's barriers would make him very helpful. However, Bartolomeo might also become an ally who is under Luffy's command and not a direct subordinate so I don't really know whether he'll join or not.

We also have Kin'emon and Kanjuurou and the unseen third samurai. Those two are awesome and with DF abilities which haven't been named yet so we got a lot to see from those two. I think they will play an important role after the Zou arc where we find what their motives are. However, considering that the Samurai and Momonosuke are 4, I doubt anyone of them would join. I can see the concept of the three Samurais and Momonosuke being based on the Three Musketeers and thus it would be a shame if they were separated. Momonosuke on the other hand is a child so... Meh.

Also, people forget Caesar Clown. About Caesar, I believe that Oda has some special plans. I think that with Doflamingo's downfall, Caesar will stick to the crew not as a member, but as the guy they don't want on the ship and sticks with them because they have nothing to do with him. Furthermore, Caesar would normally be useless after Doflamingo's downfall in the Dressrosa Arc BUT Oda gave him another reason to stick with the crew, giving him a common enemy in the face of Big Mom. Eventually, I think he will do something good for the Strawhats after sticking with them for the rest of the story to redeem himself and in the end Luffy might acknowledge him as a comrade. I forgot to mention that he has the perfect facefaults, he is a scientist (a role which we rarely see and the crew currently lacks) and he has a logia power which the crew also lacks. So he could be a potential nakama even if he would be unofficial until the very end.



Also, there is Gecko Moria. Oda already hinted his re-introduction before the beginning of the Dressrosa arc. Moreover, if he doesn't appear in the saga the crew is up against DD and Kaidou, then he will NEVER appear. I think he will appear at the finale of the arc and assist the StrawHeart Alliance and he will play a major role in the arc against Kaidou. I can see him joining the alliance and turning the battle between the alliance against Kaidou into the war of the beasts against zombies.

So, in other words, I am calling:
-Jinbe joining laaaaaater.
-Law still being an ally.
-Bellamy joining Law.
-Bartolomeo either joining/becoming an ally who follows the main alliance's commands.
-Caesar indirectly joining.
-Moria joining the alliance and playing a very important role in the battle against Kaidou.
-The samurais not joining.

Keep in mind we haw NOT seen laws crew, nor has he spoken of them. I agree with most of your assumptions but i still firmly believe in Traffalgar or Bartolomeo becoming a straw hat. Notice how all three of though characters I'm talking about have tats? No other straw hat does. I respect and openly contemplate your opinion though... 

The thing is, Traffalgar, as I recall, said he never expected to leave alive. I may be wrong in that because I haven't read those last chapters in a long time but that would give him reason to disband the crew and or appoint a new captain. It is also possible that Bartolomeos crew gets destroyed the ensuing chaos in dressrosa.

He never expected to live through killing doflamingo*

Those two could be possible scenarios.

Ceasar eventually joinin, whether it is by an indirect way as Maxulus-aniki has explained, or by other means (perhaps standard child flashbacks that showcase what could lead Ceasar to be an ass), is actually somethin I'd like to see; while he is too cruel to fit the crew, he is a dumbass and has certain personality aspects that could fit the crew.

Neither Bellamy or Bartho would join, imo, neither plays a role more significant than a supportin character in this arc, and usually the person that focus has a central position in their respective arcs.

Quite a shame that there will be no chapter this week.

WHY ODA, WHYYYYYYY!?

Break my friend... Break... *Screams NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO like Darth Vader*

After this most recent release, I have come up with a theory about the will of D.

source of theory:

My theory is that the will of D is a reference to that they are descendents of the lost nation form those many years ago. This nation had specific genetics and/or skills; therefor, all of those with the will of D will exemplify those traits and excel at what they do and revolutionize the false regeme of theworld government.

There is more evidence to support this based on quotes from navy officials and old people like roger, shanks, and newgate. You can also obtain circumstantial evidence by referencing key D characters like Luffy, Dragon, Teach, and etc.

What do y'all think?

Well, the first part of the theory, that "D." represents that they are the descentants of the lost nation, is somethin that most people pretty much expect and are aware of. The second part however, that sounds interestin. But rather, I'd say that they likely have some sort of a skill, maybe blood/nation/w/e related, that could be used to benefit someone greatly if utilized correctly.

Also, whether your theory is correct or not, whatever this reason may be, the Celestial Dragons do not wish for what Dofla knows to be revealed as it'd "shake the world to it's core" so, with these in mind, "D." is related with that secret.

Also, big shout out to all the Naruto fans, series was awesome, am sure plenty will miss it~!

P.S. Dammit Corazon, why did you had to be so amazing?!

Even if the Flashback was awesome, the story got dragged for a while and so I wish for it to end so that the Dressrosa arc can reach its finale.

Also, Rosinante was awesome.

While I will admit that things have dragged down a bit, this arc just had so much into it that it couldn't possibly be faster, imo. Also, the mere existence of Rosinante, and us seein this flashback, more than makes up for it, for me.

.... CORA-SAN!!

I still believe Bellamy is his son

I guess that was the end of the flashback?!?! Or maybe not... who knows, Oda's been unpredictable.

I expect that there will be some more panels on the next chapter, or even most of the chapter will still be flashbacks, but surely at some point/close to the end, we will return to the present.

Bellamy was born in North Blue, he looks almost exactly like Rosinante, not to mention that the two of them were introduced with the same useless sunglasses (in Bellamy's case after the timeskip), only for the panels of their reintroduction. I take that as a hint of their possible relationship. That would also make him a Donquixote (a Celestial Dragon), giving him a motive: To return to the Holy Land and reclaim his lost status. But this sounds way too much.

Chapter 768, "The trigger back then", is out.
