[Question] Why most of you think Viola as the next SH?

[Skylar Knight]

Leaving your crew isn't the same as leaving your friends to die.

But it implies that he cares deeply for his crew.

Well considering that the Barto Club's first mate got trashed by Maynard neg diff, their chances of surviving in the NW aren't very good if Bartolomeo leaves them.

So did Franky and Sanji.

So did Franky and Sanji.

They joined because of their dreams, not because they had a crush on Luffy.

Actually i didn't see anyone in this arc worthy of becoming a Straw Hat pirate !!

Rebecca is just a cry baby with no power , really , i hate it if she joins the crew !!

Bellamy is a joke !! i mean his loyalty to DF is awesome but he is an enemy and his character doesn't fit the ST crew at all !

Bartolomeo is great but he has a crew himself and his fanboy behavior is better for an alliance rather than joining the crew

Viola is good , i like her strong personality and her devil fruit power , it can be used perfectly ! and also Sanji can finally have a hot girl that appreciates his efforts !!!! But i can't see her leave the country after everything is settled !

So did Franky and Sanji.

Except their dreams were linked to Luffy's. Also, note their groups wanted them to go for their (Franky's and Sanji's) own good.

Bartolomeo has noticeably not once commented about wanting to join...instead it's just about how cool he is.

Luffy was his inspiration to set sail. Luffy's basically Bartolomeo's Shanks.

Leaving your crew isn't the same as leaving your friends to die.

It's close enough considering they are a rookie crew in the New World...with Bartolomeo being pretty much their lynch pin.

Gambia got trashed and was seemingly a right hand with his advisor position

If he's willing to put his life on the line for someone he just happened to fight with once...how do you think he feels about a legitimate member of his crew?!

No way he could just walk out on them in good conscience.

So did Franky and Sanji.

I can't see how Sanji and Franky are different from the rest of the crew members in this regard as all of crew members did the same thing.

The difference b/w Sanji/Franky and Bartho's crew is that they'll eventually return to their places when their adventure is over but Bartho can't do that after disbanding his crew. Also someone who abandon his crew isn't even wroth of being a pirate and Luffy would never allow that.

In Alabasta (which draws several parallels with Dressrosa) there was a certain female "enemy" called Nico Robin who later became a Strawhat. Viola shares a few similarities with Robin such as former affiliation etc.

On top of that she fits multiple criteria:
-Sad past, being forced against her will into the Donquixote Pirates, watching the kingdom suffer for 10 long years, sister is dead, her family in ruins
-She has already formed friendships with every Strawhat on the Island and Sanji
-She is based off of a living person, Violet Gibson. The Strawhats are all based on either living people or fictional characters from elsewhere
-She is more viable and likely to leave Dressrosa than anyone else as she is the third heir to the throne. She has also hinted at leaving Dressrosa after taking care of some "business" (Doflamingo...), this implies she will leave Dressrosa at the end of the arc
-Coincidentally when the Strawhats depart
-She can bring something new to the crew, as a Lookout.

 

[Zeta42]

But She or Kyros is the next person to become one.
Rebecca is still too young for the Throne.

Riku is still alive, you know. He can be king until Rebecca grows old enough to be the next ruler.

As for Viola, she promised to leave Dressrosa with Sanji, so I hope she'll keep her word and go with SHs to meet him again.

Viola and Rebecca seem to be the most likely to join, Viola more so then Rebecca. Viola would give the SH a certain edge over the other Nova's as she has an "All Seeing Eye" type of ability. Rebecca would be the second swordsman for the SH, people say she doesnt have power, but truth is she is braver then Ussop, and currently I think she is a more capable fighter then he is too, so her being weak or a cry baby is irrelevant when someone like ussop is on the SH roster. Ive stated it before but with Zorro having the ability to train Rebecca she could become a very deadly member of the crew seeing as she is pretty good at defending herself, and her offense only really lacks fine tuning and the willingness to harm the opponent.
