Concerning Franky's player: I guess I was wrong.
Concerning Jayden being trouble, CALLED IT.

You didn't think the character with the bright blue speech boxes would be Franky?

Like I said before, Rika's bubbles had a blue aura, which is more consistent with all other Strawhats having white bubbles with colored auras.

I totally thought the strawhat with the most DM-like personality was Nico Robin. Now could I see the original game master of the munchkin Trio come up with some middle aged artificer INT based monstrosity? Definately.

Plus her previous character started out as somewhat antagonistic to the group before Luke decided to try and 'forcefully' recruit them. I can see the same occurring only this time the attempt being successful.

I freaking knew Delilah would eventually play Franky!

Well, called that wrong. Unless this is just a psych out and we find out Deliah was just working on Franky's character during this phone call. That's the thing with a strip that blends in-game and out-of-game stuff so much. XD

No,I don't really think that. In some ways, it is good to know I can be surprised. Definitely calls into question other future character predictions I've made. ;)

Eh.. I still want her to be Robin...

Holy shipwrights Batman! I am surprised, and delighted by this.

And yes, I completely understand that position Gordon. It's an awkward place to be.

Delilah, you going to investigate this Jayden cat for us? Maybe break his jaw with a strong hammer?

Hm, ok, so bearing this new information in mind. Rika could become Robin. Vivi leaves when she joins after all... Enies Lobby could be a very dark arc for her if she does. Or maybe very cathartic if that ends up being the game she runs later on.

So, that still begs the question, who is Tony Tony Chopper going to be?

If you take a look at this page here from the Island of Rare Animals arc, that may answer your question. That's my theory anyway.

It's a good theory.

Delilah being Franky definitely threw me off my groove.

Rika’s purple bubble still solidly points her towards Tony Tony Chopper, but this new guy’s color... I’m hesitant to peg him as Miss All Sunday really.

Ah well I’m mostly here for the ride, enough speculation.
