Zoro hasnt had to break a tenkai yet though. And he was able to hold himself with Ussop on his arm against two of em. Anyway, no point in trying to rank them because they all constantly change strength and such.

I can see Franky joining, it would make sense... but im still holding doubts about it.

With Tenkai, they mean Tekkai.

And it seems to me as well, that Franky will be joining the Mugiwara no Kaizoku after this arc... maybe with the Franky Family joining them as well.

If there is a musician going to join them... I think it will be after about three arcs or so. Maybe a bit more though.

Yeah I ment Tekkai. I doubt Franky Family leaving with them, just because of the sheer numbers of the group, and the fact that the Straw-hats don't like them because they stole money and beat up Usopp.

Statistically, Nami is physically weakest of the crew, exception of Chopper in his Brain point. Usopp is a weenie and a dork sure, but he's gotta have enough strength to launch his attacks with near-bullet speeds with a slingshot.

I doubt Zoro will get a chance to break Tekkai. It would seem redundant to let a guy with swords attack you when you're attempting to solidify yourself, specially since Zoro can cut through metal now, namely Iron, which is where Tekkai derives its name from.

Yes but Kaku and Jyabura don't know how strong Zoro is. Do they? I don't think Zoro has fought around them. So maybe they will use Tekkai.

It could be possible that both Franky and Paulie joins the Straw Hats.

RobLucci

Paulie hasn't shown any background, and doesn't fight on the same level as Franky. Franky has defeated a CP9 agent, and a new CP9 Agent, as well has held his own against Luffy and shown his destructive power of the Coup de Vent. Paulie's got a lot of spirit and can fight well, but to compare him on the super-level of the Mugiwara Pirates or CP9 is impossible.

Paulie may be a temporary member at best, to escape from the debt collectors. The only time we see a young-Paulie is in the Flashback when the Puffing Tom Sea Train is completed (along with a girl that looks like Chimney, assumably Chimney's mother and Kokoro's daughter.)

That and we can't have two blondes on board, both who would be TOTAL opposites of the other.

Kaku and Zoro briefly challenged eachother in Water 7, Zoro got Shiganed by Kaku then thrown out the window by Lucci. Tekkai (Iron Mass) Just doesn't seem like a good technique against a sword user... merely because the swords pierce rather than slam or pound against the opponents.

I really would like to see an One Piece Adventure game. The system would be simliar to Kingdom Hearts or Mega Man Legends, except various crew members on the Mugiwara Ship would be capable of doing certain things. IE Luffy can use GG-Rocket to reach areas that are too far to normally get to. Zoro would be able to cut through blockades, Nami would be able to pick locks, Usopp would be able to snipe objects a long distance away, Sanji would be able to break dense objects, Chopper would be able to remedy other members, Robin could decifer Poneglyphs, and Franky would be able to move the super-heavy stuff. Alternatively each member would be able to fight using their unique abilities and fight off badguys and such.

Sadly 4kids sucks, and a game like that will never get made, because One Piece English will stop airing sooner or later (Around the time where cleaning up the blood, and re-writing the script gets horribly over tedious.)

Maybe a japanese version will be released and translated into english. I like the idea of a game. There has been One Piece games before. Journey to the grand line and whatnot. Maybe Toei will do it.

As I said and you explained, Zoro doesnt need to break a Tekkai, but in saying that it doesnt deminish his strength. When training you can see him doing some pretty intense shit.

If anyone was going to join after this arc it would be Franky, it will most likely happen but I wont be surprised if he doesnt.

What is everyones predictions for this buster call? Will the straw-hats get away in time, or will they go through the gates of justice and somehow try to journey through that monster filled ocean in order to escape? Will the blue admiral freeze it for them and let Robin exape a buster call once again?

Sanji return at the end of chapter 413 after he kicked Jyabura. I guess Usopp is going to fight Spandam instead of Jyabura.

RobLucci

I'm not saying Zoro isn't strong, he's just not as solid or built as Franky. I doubt Zoro would be able to push a wall off of the sea-train with his own strength. Zoro is undoubtedly faster than Franky, I would actually suppose that Zoro is the fastest member on the Mugiwara crew. What makes Zoro excellent in a battle is his ability to perfectly react to a situation and counter his opposition correctly (he misjudges CP9 the first time around which is why he was dismissed in battle so quickly.)

Franky Family, Galley-la, and giants Oimo and Kashee are tied up on the island, all of the Straw-Hat crew are dealing with CP9 members. The Buster Call will presumably arrive within 30 minutes or so in "their time" considering the ten warships have to get into formation and follow set codes and so forth. By that time the Straw-Hats and others will escape using the Puffing Tom, with the exception of Luffy and Robin. I can see that Luffy is clearly going to have to go beyond the Gate of Justice, since the whole series is based upon phenominal actions.
Don't argue to me about contradicting what I'll think about this, since its all up in air right now and total speculation (I don't like it when people quote my opinion and call it wrong.)

Also out of curiosity, if anyone has seen One Piece episode 45 (Sometime before Loguetown) You'll see a highly decorated Navy Commander who's dressed a red hat and has a red liner for his Marine jacket; from what I'm assuming is that this is Admiral Akainu, the Red Dog. This is just an assumption, but thats what I think anyways.

watch from minute 5:30~6:00.

Doubt Sogeking will fight Spandam. The distance between the two is too great. I'm anticipating that Usopp will be mad at Sanji for interupting and continue to fight on his own.
