The ninth crewmember!!???

[Hentai_ou-sama]

This is Brooke the Genlteman Skeleton. He seems to be a pervert and is in fact a zombie. Now think on two things.

A. Brooke has just said yes to Luffy's offer.
B. Has luffy ever asked a person to join his crew that is not curently on his crew? no. (at least in the manga, I've havn't seen most of the fillers).  

[Takaho]

well he asked Gaimon the treausre chest man to join but he said no....so who knows i doubt it'll happen

your right!!! I totally forgot that. However this guy already said yes.  

[Takaho]

i think that he just seems to random for the crew y'know? they normally have quite a bit to do with the member before they join like sanji, frnaky, chopper, robin and nami y'know?

They didn't learn about Nami until awhile after she joined. And Robin was in the crew forever before we even knew a thing about her.

no as in have a bit more than a plot where they open a barrel that summons a skeleton

Sanji- don krieg saga
Franky- Water 7 and Enies Lobby
Robin- Whole alabasta arc
Chopper- Drum Island arc

Okay okay. Good point. But maybe Oda's trying to break up the monotany. Plus they heard music coming from his ship. Luffy probably thought he was playing the music.  

[And I will whisper No]

Well, with the chapter out, It appears that they're is going to be an arc for it, with attempting to get back Brooke's shadow. AS of yet, I'm not entirely sure about it. It doesn't appear the Brooke has any super cool special talents, like the rest of the Straw Hat crew, so either hes going to display some in this arc, or hes not joining the crew at all.  

[one_smart_cucumber]

It just doesn't seem like he would join the crew confused  

[PurplGoddess565]

Nah, I don't think that Oda would just add a whole other crew member just only a few chapters after the got Franky...... or would he? confused

i think you mean Chapter...as soon as Franky joined the next chapter was meetin brooke  

[Kirokusclone]

From the sounds of things, Luffy will most likely try to make him the musician of the crew  

[Kanoko-chan]

eek Exactly how far ahead are you guys?  

[And I will whisper No]
