There is no way Barto loses to Usopp.

Care to provide a valid reason.

So you're gonna BS?

Using this logic then Barto puts on a mask that looks like the face of a yonko, the coward faints and Barto wins.

this guy is obviously trolling and clearly has no argument on why barto wont become a SH.

I've been wanting Kinemon to join the Straw Hats for a while and I really hope he does, I love that guy. I don't think Bartolomeo will join because he has a crew of his own he seems to be attached to, I doubt he'd leave them behind and Luffy wouldn't take in another crew. They'll just be allies.

Okay, why are so many people saying "Luffy wouldn't take in another captain" and "Luffy wouldn't take in a crew"?

Luffy doesn't give a damn if you're the leader of another crew or group or whatever, clearly shown by the fact that he said Law's his Nakama and he took in Franky, the leader of a group. If Luffy asks a leader to be part of his crew, all he cares about is that the crew or group you're leaving can get along on their own and you leave on good, mutual terms. This is why Chopper was able to leave that old doctor, that's why Franky could leave the Franky clan, that's why Luffy let in Franky. If Barto says his crew will be fine without him and they let him go, he can join. Even if they don't, Luffy hasn't shown to be super picky about who joins. Shit, he asked a unicorn and a tree to join his crew, why he be opposed to having another crew just become Strawhats? It'll mean new Nakama, and they'll still get to stick together, so what exactly would Luffy find a problem in this scenario?

You people need to stop trying to change Luffy's character for the sake of this discussion, he isn't stingy with his crew.

I doubt Oda would continue with the same word play 'til the end of the series. The one you mentioned is already famous enough for Oda to change things around a bit, as it's been mentioned in one of his SBSs, or else it would be too easy for people to guess the next Strawhat member. It'd make more sense if he went in a different direction now.

One example is number endings, or also known as counter words. A counter word is basically a way to express the number of a particular object. Though they have many different endings to choose from, depending on what they're counting, which makes it even more interesting. It's similar to 'two cups of tea' or 'five pairs of socks', but not quite the same.

Here are some examples with the number '5':

Go-sai
Go-hon
Go-kai
Go-biki
Go-ten
Go-kaku
Go-nen
Go-satsu

There are a few more, but you get the point. You can actually find the Hobi Hobi no mi in there (Hon + biki), the name of Sugar's fruit. The interesting part about this is the meaning of these two endings. 'Hon' is the word for long objects, and Biki is for small things, like animals or perhaps your favorite toy. Sugar is obviously a small girl, at least physically, who's now come to hate long things. Coincidence? Perhaps.

My opinion about this is probably pretty biased, considering how much I want Sugar to join, but it's still something I find interesting. Still, word plays are word plays, which shouldn't be taken seriously, until they're confirmed to be used commonly in the series.
