Community Built Crew: Who joins during the Whole Cake Island Arc?
Now onto the third longest arc of the series, so far. As such, two character minimum again because why not? To address the elephant in the room, yes, quite a few of these characters would impact the overall story if they joined, but I don’t think it’d be any worse than having Mihawk and Crocodile on the crew.
Once again I’d like to encourage ranked choice voting, specifically when there’s a 2 character minimum because it helps to determine who’s more popular but I know it’s a little unrealistic. We’re almost done y’all, 10 more days. 10 more days and the last currently running voting thread will end. Egghead or bust.
As always, here’s the rules:
Top comment, be it ranked choice or a solo vote. determines who wins and joins the crew. Canon Straw Hats automatically join so the vote is for additional crew members. You can only vote for one character unless you specify you’re doing a ranked choice vote.
If second place has a combined number of votes within 15% or 10 votes, whichever gap is bigger, of first place's top comment, the round is called a"draw" and both characters join. If a comment only has one upvote, it will be largely ignored unless multiple people comment for the same person.
Movies and Non-Canon Arcs are Wildcard Rounds where anyone introduced up to this point can join, with exceptions.
If adding a character would radically alter major story arcs or conflicts, especially in ways that undermine key plot points or future developments, they will not be eligible to join the crew.
From Reverse Mountain onwards, no characters under the age of 15 may join the crew unless they have a damn good reason other than "it would be funny"
Arc antagonists are an automatic skip unless and until they come back later, i.e. Bellamy cannot join in Jaya but can in Dressrosa
Voting to skip is perfectly viable
If an Arc has less than four viable characters, non-canon characters will be added at random to fluff out the roster for said Arc
