Nup, but they weren't that strong either. Also, comparing this lightning strike to Enel's is ridiculous. Just lol. In the first three pages Drake appeared, Drake has shown us personality in that he is a calculating, keeps his head cool and that he's quite the motivational speaker. It took only a couple of pages to shape out the rough lining of his promising personality – Nami, besides her love for money, doesn't seem to have a consistent personality in that her priorities swap between money and nakama, and besides that it's fairly nonexistent. Nami could not take down Oz. For all we know Drake might be able to damage him -- there's a reason he has a 222,000,000 Beli bounty -- while Nami, on her own, wouldn't be able to do a thing as she'll just be smashed. Using Oz or that pacifista as a measurement for Nami's capabilities is ludicrous as all she did was tipping over a beat own enemy. Also, Drake is not only a dinosaur, he's also kinna cute D:<
Nami vs. Drake

@ Thousand Lion-chan:
I'm sorry but I accidentally messed up your post with the three images where you tried to prove Nami wasn't fodder. I accidentally edited it instead of quoting it. And once the edits are saved I can't change it back.
So in order to undo the entire confusion I rather deleted that post. Sorry. Feel free to post it again if you remember the contet. =/
Read the friggin' manga. The anime screws up everything anyways.
you know, the more people bitch at me to read the manga, the less I feel like it. I like the anime and I will watch it.
so drake turns into a dinosaur…..and that's the reason everyone wants to vote for him....(boys and their toys)
-
I totally voted for Drake xD I had to, my sis would kill me if I didn't.. because I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE NAMI XDDD But yeah.. poor Drake. I see Nami winning this in a LAND SLIDE x_x;

dont

This.

@Thousand:
Eh, you could have just pmed me to edit it back myself.
Nah, I screwed up and thus should take the public blame for it. But if you want to know what my reply was here it goes:
@Thousand:
Oh really, only good for taking down canon fodder?
Actually yes, since she didn't do nothing that literally everybody else with the same equiment couldn't do. Plus unlike the other Strawhats she was hiding cowardly and even yelling at Sanji for drawing the attention to her.
Same as above
Lol, this page actually proves your statement "Nami brought the cyborg down to his knees" statement. He was already down, she simply attacked him while he already was in that position (just like Hans Sprungfeld shot a tame buffalo ).
-
I never really did like Nami. EVER.
So I'm voting for my favorite supernova X. Drake even though I know he's not going to win because so many people LOVE Nami. If he'd been against Vivi… maybe he would win >__> oh well! Still, my votes for Drake.
-
! My Vote goes to Nami!
-
you know, the more people bitch at me to read the manga, the less I feel like it. I like the anime and I will watch it.
It's not bitching, it's a suggestion. Actually it's meant in a friendly way because obviously you don't know what you miss. It's your loss not ours. Should actually appreciate the input. ;P
so drake turns into a dinosaur…..and that's the reason everyone wants to vote for him....(boys and their toys)
Right, because boy voting for boobs and mini skirts is a whole different matter. :getlost:
-
I'm voting for Nami, because she's the best navigator ever!
This is too close for comfort though. :shocked:
I like the anime and I will watch it.
Same here, I love the anime. And it's very true to the manga too, despite what some folks'll tell you.
-
kicks Nami Kitty in Boa Hancock Style yosh! xDDD though cute… I'd still vote for Drake xD the real Nami isn't that cute... xDDD
-
-
Thing is, Nami never needs to because she is really really weak. >: While the rest of her crew is really really strong. >: Those thunderstorms are no good besides taking out cannon fodder. She is not fast, she is not strong, she only has a magic wand to give mediocre shocks. She's a thief, she flashes people for money, she has a boring personality, and she is not a dinosaur. Drake is strong, Drake is confident but not cocky, Drake is smart, Drake is fast, Drake is skilled in dual wielding, Drake is a dinosaur.
Everything points to Drake being a dinosaur with a lot of knowledge of the world versus a weak fanservice machine that occasionally cries.Canon fodder huh?

Also it's said a lightning strike can power a city for an entire year. Hardly a weak shock. By your logic, Enel was weak yet he could control his lightning. Nami's attacks are pure, raw nature. Usopp isn't fast or strong either. He's just a damage sponge and has great aim. Every character has her strengths and weaknesses. Nami's case is incredible destructive power and evasion tactics. That's a strong combo. As far as I'm concerned, though not as manly it's better to avoid hits rather than take them and get your body broken over like Usopp. Also being a thief etc are just small parts that make up her rich character. What has Drake shown us? Just he's a dinosaur. In my book, that doesn't compensate for 500 chapters worth of character development. nami is also smart (third smartest during the East Blue arc) and so what if she can't duel and whatever, that's not Nami's strength, she has other strengths because everyone is different and every one ahs their own strengths and weaknesses. When it comes to pure destructive power, Nami clearly outmatches Drake though. Drake has a lot of knowledge in internal marine affairs and Nami has great knowledge of navigation. Different types on intelligence for different people. I've already displayed Nami isn't weak. As for fan-service, it's merely irrelevant comedy and all hot female characters have it. As for crying, everyone cries in this show including Luffy and Franky. And to dispel the notion that nami is a big cry baby, she's only cried four times in 50 chapters, in Arlong Park, Water 7, a little in the Water 7 mini-recovery arc and a little in Saboady. All those times they added to the story (tugging the heart strings at the tragedy of her situation in Arlong Park, the pain of seeing two friends fight, happiness of a crew-mate's return and futility of the situation against an unstoppable force). I'm not counting when she cried in small instances like when she found out the old man was Rayleigh, that was for comedy.
Phew, there re-wrote it because it kept bugging me. Revised it too. Don't delete this one Ivotas:P

Why not, the only difference is Enel can control his lightning strikes, Nami's are pure unadulterated power. Yes Drake has shown us that but it's nothing compared to how much Nami has shown us, her determination for her friends, her strategic demeanor, how she keeps the crew together. Also the fact that her priorities switch is part of the character development you're missing. Mr. Oda's clearly, with great subtlety, developing her character to someone who prioritizes her friend over money. It's something completely intentional. Any of the Straw hats on their own would have just been smashed by Odz. They only defeated him by teaming up. The point is Nami's destructive power is>>>>>>>Drake's. Heck, it's the highest in the crew next to Luffy's and maybe Zoro or Sanji's. Nami is cute and hot :D

Things I hate about Nami:
10. Supposed to be a thief but never pulls a cool heist.
9. Never tries to get stronger on her own, Usopp does all her upgrades, I'm guessing more of the same with Weatheria.
8. Clima-Tact is meant for a side-villain: gimmicky, weak, and not very credible.
7. Weather forecast taunts: add annoyance to mediocrity.
6. Never shows battle determination when down, compared with Usopp's Sogeking and Choppa's Monster point.
5. Never really faces a worthy opponent, and won't for awhile yet with all the new nakama needing to prove themselves.
4. Never has a wow or cool moment, in battle or out.
3. The incredible morphing boobs and generally sub-par fan service. Doing a poor job in a bad role.
2. Supposed to be smart but is not smart in battle. Better than the other Strawhats thanks to the gimmicks but pales in comparison with other manga
1. Supposed to be smart but is not smart outside battle. Completely overshadowed by Sanji / Robin in both situational awareness and knowledge.

Things I hate about X Drake:
None.

Jadosra Examination:
Nami - A Navigator from the SH's, loves money, is the "thief" of the crew, also the navigator, is very intelligent, has great skills of navigating and drawing, has the ability to control the weather, and even though she's weak in comparission with almost everyone else, she wants to save her friends.
Drake - A Pirate, a Supernova, former Rear Admiral, wants the Supernova's to move on without fighting in the middle of Shaobondy Archipelago, has a true justice meaning, wants to finish the World Government, can transform in a Dinosaur.
My vote goes for Nami
Also, lol at "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, WHY ARE YOU VOTING AGAINST MY FAVORITE CHARACTER? YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY IDIOTS" from Lion, it makes me laugh.

Nup, but they weren't that strong either. Also, comparing this lightning strike to Enel's is ridiculous. Just lol. Her powers are not pure nature. It are small clouds created by small 'natural' attacks coming from that wand. This power can not nearly compete with lightning coming from the biiig clouds above, or Enel. Regardless of how you look at it. Usopp has not only speed working for him, but also tactics. Something which Nami lacks. Sure, she does attacks that are all but ordinary, but creating such illusions and after that shocking them is hardly a tactic. Rather, it'd be stupid if you didnt. In the first three pages Drake appeared, Drake has shown us personality in that he is a calculating, keeps his head cool and that he's quite the motivational speaker. It took only a couple of pages to shape out the rough lining of his promising personality – Nami, besides her love for money, doesn't seem to have a consistent personality in that her priorities swap between money and nakama, and besides that it's fairly nonexistent.

For all we know Drake might be able to damage him -- there's a reason he has a 222,000,000 Beli bounty -- while Nami, on her own, wouldn't be able to do a thing as she'll just be smashed. Saying Nami could not match Drake in 'raw' power is a most laughable statement, obviously. If you look at Nami, you can see she can create small clouds with lightning. Lightning far weaker than 'actual' lightning, obviously, and something which takes longer to prepare. Drake, on the other hand, can fight with just his sword and scepter, seems to have a great deal of speed on his side, and would obviously gain an immense increase of strength if he went into normal or 50/50 dinosaur mode. Using Oz or that pacifista as a measurement for Nami's capabilities is ludicrous as all she did was tipping over a beat own enemy. Also, Drake is not only a dinosaur, he's also kinna cute D:<

for once I actually agree with yah brah
Please Nami supporters, you don't need to defend her after EVERY SINGLE post that criticizes her character. You know you like her and at the end of the day, she is through and through a true Strawhat Nakama just as much as Zoro, Usopp, Robin…etc..
Seeing a paragraph of defense after every anti-nami post is getting f*cking annoying
-
Two of your facts are wrong, nexusil:
6. Never shows battle determination when down, compared with Usopp's Sogeking and Choppa's Monster point.
Wrooong, she got a horn in her feet and got thrown with a Shigan, yet she still got up when she was about to die.
5. Never really faces a worthy opponent, and won't for awhile yet with all the new nakama needing to prove themselves.
Yeah, because Miss DoubleFinger, the fourth strongest from Baroque Works, is not someone worthy >:(
I do agree with "Almost never faces a worthy opponent", though
-
Dinosaur=better, with or without panites.
apologies, first try at campaigning.

The feet in the spike is pretty much her best battle-moment though which is pretty sad.

Seriously, T-rexs are fucking cool and all and when I was a kid I was crazy about dinosaurs but when that's your only saving grace it's just not going to make you win over Nami. Captain Usopp, couldn't have said it better. Boys and their toys…
Now for the Nami campaign, cause Drake's campaign was just so much better.
! Vote Nami, cause we wouldn't want to make her cry again do we?
! >!
! Seriously don't vote over a cutie that had more panels crying then an idiot ex-marine that went pirate and whose only feat is transforming in a T-rex.
! Seriously, Grimlock thinks the same.
! >!
! Can't believe nobody mentioned Grimlock yet either. Grimlock was my favorite autobot. Dinobots ftw!
! And lastly but not least, the fucker is even weaker then Nami.
! >!
! A preview what we're going to see in the New World when Nami meets Drake with her upgraded Clima tact skills?Well I hope it was fairly amusing.
-
Things I hate about Nami:
Well, about half of your reasons involve fighting and perceived lack of strength in fighting. Do you really only like characters for how good they are in a fight? This doesn't really pertain to character.
And I completely disagree with you saying Robin and Sanji are smarter than Nami in outside of battle "situational awareness".
But even then, it's kind of funny most of your reasons for hating the character involve skills/percieved lack of skills, rather than personality/character.
-
ok the Drake campaigns got me! I'll try my best to save his Sexy dinosaur ass!

! He won't be your best friend or hang around with you.Vote for sexual equality in the next rounds
Vote Nami!!! -
Things I hate about Nami:
10. Supposed to be a thief but never pulls a cool heist.
1.She stole almost 100 million belli in 8 years.
9. Never tries to get stronger on her own, Usopp does all her upgrades, I'm guessing more of the same with Weatheria.
2. Usopp's weapon was meant nothing as a party gift. It's only as powerful as it is because of Nami's weather knowledge. In any one else's hands it's useless.
8. Clima-Tact is meant for a side-villain: gimmicky, weak, and not very credible.
3. It gives her the most destructive power in the crew next to the Monster trio. Honestly, how is CONTROLLING THE WEATHER weak?
7. Weather forecast taunts: add annoyance to mediocrity.
4. I love it, it displays her knowledge of the weather and it's cool at the same time.
6. Never shows battle determination when down, compared with Usopp's Sogeking and Choppa's Monster point.
Stamped her foot on a spike ball. Took a shigan to the shoulder and went on to finish the fight.
5. Never really faces a worthy opponent, and won't for awhile yet with all the new nakama needing to prove themselves.
Ms. Doublefinger was the strongest female agent next to Robin. Califa was a member of CP9, a trained assassin. Not to mention Odz and the Kumabot.
4. Never has a wow or cool moment, in battle or out.

Then what does that say about the Straw Hats?1. Supposed to be smart but is not smart outside battle. Completely overshadowed by Sanji / Robin in both situational awareness and knowledge.
There's different types of intelligence. Nami's mostly intelligent in weather which has saved the crew's lives at sea more times than Mr. Oda has cared to show.Ivotas don't delete this one, I really liked this post:P

Drake only really has a cool Devil Fruit going for him, whereas Nami has actually developed since the series began, has one of the best backstories in the series, and is a much more likeable character now than she was back at the start. I voted for Nami.

Hmm, Nami's cried more times than I thought, but they were still integral to the story (desperation at a friend's situation and the death of a crew-mate and death of a mother when she was a kid). And Kenshin, great post^^
@psychokenshin, actually I quoted Nexusil's post, removed the quotes and after each point in his list, I made my counter-argument.

If I may ask, just how does her power come even close to changing the weather? She can create a small weather effects in a small area – she cannot have the sun scorching the earth, cannot create massive clouds that drown lands or even villages in their rain, she cannot create lightning as strong as actual lightning but more a somewhat hurtful shock, and-so-on. She cannot 'control' the weather. She has a few attacks that mimic the real weather but with much less power. Robin could break her spine before she got out her staff, Usopp could set her aflame before she could get out her staff, Brook could probably slice her up or do some kind of music-magic even if she got her staff as he wouldn't give her the chance to use it, Franky would've shot her with his machine guns and explosive blasts, and chopper, given that he was in to fight, would've come too close to her with his jumping point for her to electrify him without getting hit herself, and-so-on. Given that she has plenty of time to prepare, those shocks are mildly damaging. Remember that Miss Doublefinger didn't even went down when she was hit by her "It gives her the most destructive power in the crew next to the Monster trio.". She was a bit scorched but that was about it.

10. thievery:
The 100m were off screen! I'd say her most/only impressive one was the farewell mass wallet one. She hasn't done anything since, the key off the CP9 was so pointless, I'm sure Oda can do better than that if he cared.9. Self improvement:
Yeah her knowledge is good, and she uses the new upgrade to max potential immediately, but she never exerts effort to improve herself after that. Shonen is about exceeding the potential.8. Clima-Tact's gimmicky/weak/incredible
Yeah, after monster trio.. also monster point7. Weather forecast taunts
…6. Battle determination
Both the spike and shigan were tactical, take minor damage in order to finish off the enemy. It's not spiritual, if you will. Though judging by the beating Luffy's been taking, I'm sure Nami has the most Haki in One Piece.5. Worthy Opponent
Nami is worthy of more. Neither doublefinger nor kalifa did much damage despite how bad it looked for Nami. This directly affects 6.4. Cool Moments
Thunder lance is just not as cool as the other Strawhat veterans, she is No.3 after all. Camie/Hatchan stuff is pretty low on the list too. She never actually succeeded in buying Camie.3. Morphing Boobs
That can't be natural..2. Smart in Battle
But she's supposed to be smart, and has the most gimmicky style. This is where Oda should shine if he were capable.1. Smart out of Battle
Intelligent in weather is not really intelligent. Sanji has much better situation awareness. You would think a supposedly smart character with a poof run away gag would be the one doing the covert ops. Robin also oozes intelligence much more from her knowledge, maturity, and devil fruit use. -

How do you know? Have you ever felt her lightning attack? She can make it rain, she can make it cold too. For that stuff you said, ever considered she needs to get stronger to do that? But what she is doing IS controlling the weather. Now don't start with stupid fight comparisons. Apart from the fact that they're lame and reek of card game nerd talk (not to mentiont hey're soley based on bias and fan opinion, character a does stuff he normally coudn't do), it's irrelevant. I'm comparing destructive power not who would win a fight. Nami's is clearly the highest next to maybe the Monster Trio. Can Franky take down an entire army of Marines in ONE hit. Can Usopp? (no he had to take them otu, one by one in Enies Lobby with Kabuto) Can Chopper? Can Robin (not that much, she has to see them, also it takes more effort and makes her defenseless to random shots). Also that was in Arbasta, her lightning attacks are much stronger now, enough to take out an entire army of Marines. It only took two hits to bring down Kalifa. And only one hit to bring Odz to his knees or to seriously damage the Kumabot.

Vote for Nami.

It's not about either. It's about Oda Sensei not giving her the moments she deserves (see thievery, intelligence) by giving her fodder enemies and low outside battle prominence compared with the other veterans.

10. thievery:
The 100m were off screen! I'd say her most/only impressive one was the farewell mass wallet one. She hasn't done anything since, the key off the CP9 was so pointless, I'm sure Oda can do better than that if he cared.1.The point is she's a great thief though she isn't one anymore. And how was getting a key not important? Mr. oda does care, you just dpn't care enough about Nami to see it.
9. Self improvement:
Yeah her knowledge is good, and she uses the new upgrade to max potential immediately, but she never exerts effort to improve herself after that. Shonen is about exceeding the potential.2.Nami's strength is weather knowledge. Training her biceps isn't going to make her attacks stronger. Also we never see any of the Straw Hats train to get stronger except Zoro. I think Mr. Oda wants us to take it for granted that their improving their own strengths in their own way. Not to mention nami is on weatheria now of all places so it's a given she's going to majorly improve herself there.
8. Clima-Tact's gimmicky/weak/incredible
Yeah, after monster trio.. also monster point3. Yes, after Monster trio which is really good. And Monster Point is an uncontrollable loose cannon.
7. Weather forecast taunts
…4. To each his own.
6. Battle determination
Both the spike and shigan were tactical, take minor damage in order to finish off the enemy. It's not spiritual, if you will. Though judging by the beating Luffy's been taking, I'm sure Nami has the most Haki in One Piece.
5. If you think slamming your foot into a metal spike ball or taking a bullet hole in the shoulder is nothing, you're more man than I am.
5. Worthy Opponent
Nami is worthy of more. Neither doublefinger nor kalifa did much damage despite how bad it looked for Nami. This directly affects 6.6. The difficulty of a fight does not neccesarily correlate to how much damage you receive afterwards. Look at Zoro vs. Ryuma. Nami's strength is evading attacks so it makes sense for her to be less damaged than the rest of the crew. And indeed, I find it better than getting slammed around like Usopp. Less cool but much better for the body.
4. Cool Moments
Thunder lance is just not as cool as the other Strawhat veterans, she is No.3 after all. Camie/Hatchan stuff is pretty low on the list too. She never actually succeeded in buying Camie.7. the point is that the page looked cool and really made you go wow which is what you're asking for.
3. Morphing Boobs
That can't be natural..8. More natural than in real life with people doing breast implants left and right. breasts grow, t'is a part of mother nature.
2. Smart in Battle
But she's supposed to be smart, and has the most gimmicky style. This is where Oda should shine if he were capable.8. Smart in weather mostly, though outside weather she's quite intelligent as well. An example is in Enies Lobby where she strategized with Franky how to dealm with Monster Chopper and their escape plan.
1. Smart out of Battle
Intelligent in weather is not really intelligent. Sanji has much better situation awareness. You would think a supposedly smart character with a poof run away gag would be the one doing the covert ops. Robin also oozes intelligence much more from her knowledge, maturity, and devil fruit use.10. Different types of intelligence. Sanji is smart at tactics in battle, Robin is smart in history and world affairs, Nami is smart in finding practical solutions and keeping the crew together (ex. It was her idea to buy Caimie.)
