So, after deciding to restart OP at the beginning of Water Seven something kind of hit me with the reveal of Sabo being alive and such.
Anyone else feel like Oda took at least SOME inspiration from the Civil War in the States. Lot's of examples of children fighting parents, brothers fighting each other, and in general friends ending up on opposite sides of what seems to have been a "Cold War" type situation up until Marineford.
Well, just using Luffy, Dragon, and Garp:Elaborate. Not saying you're wrong, but what examples?
Well, just using Luffy, Dragon, and Garp:
- Garp is on the side of the government and had wanted at least Luffy to join the Marines like he had and not follow the footsteps of his father. Dragon is in open rebellion with the the people Garp works for and Luffy ended up gallivanting off and being an outlaw and though it's never explicitly stated as most pirates just want to have a ton of gold and treasure, the pirates are in a way on the same side of this war as Dragon, Sabo, and the rest of the Revolutionaries. The World Gov't, as it is now, dissolving would be in their best interest.
If you look at the American Civil War there are TONS of stories of southern families especially where the father and one brother would be on one side of the fighting and the other brothers would be on the opposite side, unfortunately sometimes fighting relatives. Just a minor example:
Granted, the use of "brothers" in that clip means more people of the same ethnic background but at that point in time with how the Irish were pouring into the US it wouldn't be a hard argument to say there were at the very least cousins openly fighting each other in moments like that.
There is even instances of stuff like this between Marines and Pirates/general criminals in One Piece:

He (Oda) probably didn't explicitly look to something like the American Civil War for that and used it more for an engaging story but there are some similarities there.
I REALLY think it'll be Nami. For the most part people with DF's in Luffy's crew the DF suits their specialty/fighting style. Imagine Nami with snow on cue and that damn staff of hers.Ah I you now. Also, on the note about Nami possibly eating Monet's Devil Fruit.

Mikan(type of Japanese orange) are VERY resilient in cold climates and are considered a Winter delicacy. At this point I'll be INCREDIBLY disappointed if Monet's fruit isn't on one of Nami's trees and either she or Carrot eats it(Snow Bunny joke/pun is too good).

True, but at the same time it means one less person who can swim when others fall in the water. The weather witch angle is still incredibly good though.
They still have Usopp, Sanji, Zoro, Jinbe and Jinbe is probably the best choice for a guy to jump in the water. Let's be honest as well, Nami was never jumping in after Luffy's dumbass either.True, but at the same time it means one less person who can swim when others fall in the water.

It's hard to shake when you start seeing all the relationships that connect people. Like the guy that is responsible for Trafalgar being how he is was a close friend of Sengoku's. So close in fact that post Dressrosa him and Law have a real quiet conversation just between the two of them with Sengoku basically admitting "if you weren't his friend, even though I'm retired, I'd be dragging you in right now."Thats quite an interesting theory and overall take
Edit : Saw your following posts , hell of a comparison.

If he isn't the one that gets added another fishman would be I am sure.I keep forgetting about Jinbe since he's not officially with the crew just yet.
