[Discussion] Why I don't think Rebecca will join the SH

[MythicDonut]

This is why I don't think she will end up joining Luffy and the Straw Hats. As we know all the Straw Hat members has had a very sad past, at the same time they've also been saved from probably certain death or a very miserable life if it wasn't for Luffy's intervention in their lives.

Zoro - Kuina his childhood friend died falling down the stairs. He was caught by the Marines and would have been executed the next day if it wasn't for Luffy's intervention.
Nami - Bellmere her foster mother was brutally murdered by arlong in front of her eyes as a kid. Her town was overrun with fishman who then dictated her live. She would have been kept as a slave for live by arlong or commited suicide if Luffy had not stepped in.
Ussop - Banchina his mom died of an illness, Kaya would have been assassinated and Ussop probably would have died in the process defending the village if Luffy had not been there to take on kuro.
Sanji - Him and Owner Zeref barely escaped starvation being trapped on an island, If Luffy had not arrived he would have been over run by Don Krieg and his men possibly resulting in his death.
Chopper - He'd been rejected by humans and his own kind after he ate the hito hito fruit, only Dr Kureha and Dr Hiluluk accepted him but died later on. If Luffy had not arrived Chopper would have certainly been defeated by King Wapol.
Robin - She was labeled as a demon, had spent most of her life being hunted by the marines for possessing dangerous knowledge, her mother was also presumed dead in a fire. She was tortured and probably would have ended up being killed by the governments orders.
Franky - He was targeted along with Tom by CP5 for the blueprints to Pluton. He was almost killed trying to rescue tom by standing in the way of a train. He would have been tortured into revealing Pluton then most likely put to death so no one except the government would know the blueprints to Pluton.
Brook - Lost his captain, Lost his crew due to poison and was the only surviving member. His shadow was also stolen to create a zombie Ryuma. If the Luffy had not arrived and helped Brook get his shadow back he probably would have just drifted around in the dark for years.
Jinbe - He'd lost his captain to humans and didn't want to accept the blood transplant. If Luffy hadn't shown up I don't think that he'd be able to take on the whole of Hody Jones' army and save Fishman Island from Noah. He would have died in that war.

You can say that Rebecca also has a sad story too...

Luffy will most probably end up having to safe Rebecca from her demon, Doflamingo. She seems like one but she's missing one thing, a dream. Each straw hat has a dream that they can achieve only by exploring and setting sail with Luffy. Rebecca's dream from what has been show in the manga is to eat the mera mera fruit and defeat Doflamingo.

This could leave room for Doflamingo being an even bigger role then his role right now. For Rebecca to set sail with the straw hats with her dream in mind, Doflamingo would have to escape Dressrosa at the end of this arc and escape the straw hats for a very long time, probably until the end of the series so that Rebecca would always be in pursuit of him.

Unless he does escape then theres only room for Doflamingo to be defeated by her and claim the throne ruling over Dressrosa since she shares the blood of someone very important if Doflamingo was hunting down her lineage.

So what do you think? I could be completely wrong, unless Rebecca reveals another dream her dream confines her to Dressrosa.

Its hard to say. I love the idea of her being a Mugiwara but it might just be like Vivis part of the crew.

 

[cptenn94]

I agree and disagree with you. While rebecca has not yet shown to have a dream, that does not mean she isnt/ wont join the straw hats. Just look at robin. People wouldnt have guessed she would join the straw hats, until later when her dream, and true intentions were revealed. So Rebbeccas dreams and intentions have yet to be revealed(other than wanting mera mera to accomplish it.


In all honesty im split between thinking rebbecca will join, and she wont. There is equal logic to support both sides. However, im inclined to lean more towards she will not join, because she is the granddaughter of the old king, and will probably become the queen when donflamingo is defeated(luffy is mad, so he will eventually be defeated/removed from dressrosa)

However, it seems very plausible that luffy may give the mera mera fruit to rebbecca, and rebbecca doesnt need to stay at dressrosa, and could become a female logia member of the crew(both things the strawhats need to be more balanced).

I wouldn't call avenging her mother's death and defeating Doflamingo a dream, I'd call it revenge! A dream is something which is pleasant so she definitely has a dream we don't know about yet

 

[Kurama2012]

im confident that she will join and she will get mera mera no mi, her past is very identical to that of robin and nami they all suffered from their mother's death and each of their mothers died from some sort of invasion

 

[Olorin]

I don't really think that this weeks chapter cemented anything and I still think that besides some candidates NO NEW NAKAMA this arc is still quite probable, that said I would like Violet or Rebbecca to join up

But your argument is baseless since more or less we know nothing about her except this one chapter, she wants to kill Dofy yes but Nami also wanted to get rid of Arlong but that was NOT her dream, her dream is to draw the map of the world, so Rebecca can easily have some other dream

I'm not saying taht Rebecca will join I'm just saying that this argument proves absolutely nothing

 

[Olorin]

1. I didn't say that anything was 'cemented' this are MY thoughts.
2. I DON'T think that will won't be any new Nakama.
3. My THOUGHTS (Not 'arguments') are NOT BASELESS.
4. Where did I say Nami's dream was to get rid of Arlong huh? NOWHERE.
5. Did I not say that Rebecca could possible have another dream?

6. For the last time this ain't an ARGUMENT.

1. I know, I was referring to the fact that some people are saying that the ch. confirmed she's joining, hence I meant taht the chapter did not ''cement'' anything as nothing was even remotely confirmed

2. What? that sentence doesn't work unless ''will'' is a name or ''will'' as in a mental want

3. They are because you even if you think that, Rebecca could have a completely different dream, it is only natural she wants revenge against the man who was responsible for killing her mother, ruining her life, ... she might want to kill him but that in no way confirms NOR points to the fact that she has no dream fit for a SH ... and since your entire premise is based on that, yes it has no basis

4. no you didn't but the fact is she ALSO wanted to get rid of someone JUST LIKE Rebecca but she still had a dream that drove her to go with the SHs, I never said you said it, it was AN EXAMPLE ... lol

5. Yes you did, but than you based an entire thread on the ''fact'' that she won't join the crew because her dream is Dofy and there is no way she will join except if he escapes

6. So what? it's a thread and we can discuss it right?

7. An insulting and stupid pic at the end? very good for the credibility of your post

 

[ANBU BlackOpps]

I hope she does, because honestly the straw hats are missing a strong female nakama. Robins DF is useful and Nami's climate tactic is pretty cool, but none of them are as badass as the trio (Luffy, Zoro and Sanji) we need a female as strong as them! But wont know her strength untill we see her fight her round! I hope shes good

1. Fair enough...

2. CORRECTION ---> I DON'T think that there won't be any new Nakama.
You also had a spelling mistake in your first point and your first point so...

3. My thoughts are not baseless, I made a point, presented facts and scans as to why I thought so followed up as how I thought that this could pan out.

4. They may have well been the same but difference is when Nami upon introduction brought something new to the plate with her talent and actually had a place with it in her crew just like the other members. Rebecca hasn't shown any particular talent yet and I don't see what type of person the Straw Hats would need now. She may well show something that Luffy wants in his crew in the next few chapters but until then this is the difference.

5. 'So what do you think? I could be completely wrong, unless Rebecca reveals another dream her dream confines her to Dressrosa.'
^ Read that for me. Thanks mate!:snick:

6. Yes we can discuss but it seems like an argument now anyway. By the way, were you not the one that labeled this as an argument?

7. Oooh...7. Don't hate, I like using the odd gif/meme every now and then

 

[ziggyZ]

The fact that you included Jinbei in your thread, give more than suffice means to include Vivi in your thread as well.

 

[Hexuze]

I rather have the marines interfere the tournament and take the Mera-Mera no mi, of course these orders are from Garp. I like this idea than some new person getting the fruit. :devil:

 

[Netferarri]

Yes, this seems like a good theory, though I feel like she will get the Mera Mera no Mi and join. I have a feeling.
