perhaps he meant that he wants that matchup to happen.

Nami has just been fanservice fodder the last couple arcs. Her fight with Kalipha was among the dumbest, most demeaning things Oda has done. Her nearly getting raped by Absalom? Did not need to see that. She was a great complex character up to the Arlong. She's ost a lot of that since then and turned into mostly "lol, bewbs" and "lulz, munnie".
As a result, I vote for X. Drake.
-
One more vote for Roger. Who needs Nami anymore :getlost:
-
i ll vote for the legendary kaizoku king with the will of D

I don't like Nami that much. She is cool for a shonen girl but she is nothing compared to almost everyone of the characters she would meet in next round if she weren't losing now.
But I still vote for her. If Roger had been alive in One Piece's present story, I'm sure I would vote for him. But as someone stated earlier in the thread, he is just a narrative device. Thanks to about 4-5 panels in flashbacks and Rayleigh/Sengoku/whatever's tellings, we know about his deeds. But we won't know his character until we see him interacting with the main plot. As this is a character tournament and not a narrative device tournament I'm voting for the one who can be classified as a character.

He entrusted his unborn son to the man who had chased him around his entire life and caught him in the end. that says alot about the man and the respect he holds for others.
Nami… stole the wallets of her hometown on the way out.

you know, this is actually not the reason someone should vote for nami :getlost:

Ace hates his dad, maybe he has a reason. Don't support child-abandoning deadbeats who cause the deaths of innocent people.

and how much money did she save to free her town? the villagers could care less about their money. they're free. they're proud of nami and her acomplishments

Voted Roger for the sake of taking out a strawhat. Nothing personal Nami, but I want the semi-finals to be more interesting :P

You must've missed the part where she left behind the equivalent of a million dollars she earned with blood and sweat for her village to keep.
I voted Roger but what's with all the Nami hatred, just because her character was treated poorly in Thriller Bark it doesn't mean she won't get to be awesome like in W7 ever again.

I think she was quite awesome in Saboady myself anyway.

Reposting a few things. -
Bevin's post has been the best reason I've seen so far to vote Nami. I forgot she told Usopp not to worry about the money.
She doesn't show it often(probably the least often of all the strawhats in fact), but she cares more about her crew than her own hide, deep down.+1 Nami. I can't argue Bevin's campaign.
-
Yeah GOD L ROGER Is pwning nami
-
Nami cares more about other people than people give her credit for.

! Selfish bitch my ass.

Wow!!! Rogers in the lead! Awesome xD Looks like another Strawhat is going down maybe?? yeah xD Sorry Usopp, Nami, Robin, Chopper and Franky, but there's still Brook, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji who might possibly not be beaten x_x;

The sooner this match ends, the sooner Croc exits the tournament :(

I have heard something about Roger abandoning his child and wife? Well, it seems it was forgotten that he was sick and going to die soon. If he was healthy and all, then I can safely assume, that he wouldn't give up his life and would've a) continued his journey with his crew and b) would keep visiting his wife and son (she wouldn't have to keep Ace in more that it was needed if Roger was alive and able to protect her and their baby and so she wouldn't die… right?:ninja:). But alas the life of our dear PK was coming to an end. So he played smart and went out with a DON by starting the new Pirate Era. Before that he made sure that the man who chased him around to capture him, would take care of his wife and child. He wasn't stupid, he cared for his family and was a rather amusing, manipulative bastard. :'D Gotta love that!
And at last some Nami supporters are doing the right thing and show off Nami's true worth! O: Well done you guys!

Let's all celebrate the old school pirates!
Vote for Roger. -

You don't need to be a powerhouse to do the impossible.
She figured out how to navigate a giant geyser of water in the midst of being propelled hundreds of thousands of feet in the air. One of the most thrilling, non-fight related scenes in the whole series.
Vote for the girl who managed to deflect the blows of GOD - and came out unscathed!

i dont need to add anything, the sub alone is enough

Flattery gets you nowhere.

About how much cash are we talking?

Depends what you want.

Roger vs Whitebeard
Make it happen -
Nami's first fight was also the most brutal.
Her foot impaled with spikes and she still wouldn't back down.
She can use lightning as an assortment of weapons like lances and maces. How is that not cool?
VOTE NAMI
-
You know, I voted for Roger here, because I do not like Nami. She is my least favorite SH [though not my least favorite all around character by far].
I'm gonna defend her real quick- despite the fan-service switcheroo she's been stuck in these past few arcs, I really gotta stress that how Nami is dressed, and the situations she ends up in is NOT her fault. Yes, she's just a cartoon character, but her overall personality has not taken a hit. Most anime and manga feature female characters that are solely for manly enjoyment- like the entire female cast. In shows like that, people gladly look past the bouncing breasts, upskirts and ridiculously sexist predicaments to look at the character themselves, because they kinda HAVE to. Oda's headed down a cliche path with Miss Nami, and it could end up straight ruining her character, but this doesn't mean Nami will never do anything of worth ever again, and we need to dismiss her as fan fodder. Seriously- 500+ chapters, and recently she's become an obnoxious visual stereotype of manga and anime. Let's not ignore everything she's ever done because she's been relatively low-use lately.
If you're gonna dislike Nami, you should maybe do it for her personality [which is my problem], not for her shrinking waist and expanding boobs.

W7? You mean the godawful fanservice Calipha fight where all logic went out the door just to get two female characters naked? Which was of course followed up the next arc with an almos-trape scene?
Nami's been nothing but naked fanservice for some time and its sickening. Her being reduced to a piece of meat far outweighs any actual moments of depth she's had where she shows that she might have grown past being a greedy money grubber. I mean seriously. THIS is a campaign?
Her boobs are her best part.
Nami's just an object now. She was once a great character, and that great character is gone now, replaced by a half naked thing in its place.
Whereas Roger is a god of the manga, who keeps getting more and more depth, whose actions continue to reverberate and influence the world, even 22 years after his death.

@Al!naJames:

just out of curiosity, it this match worse for you than Urouge vs Kizaru?

Maybe it would help if nami had a beard like roger, and that grin.

Once again, I think you're overdramatizing. She hasn't been treated well recently, yes, but to say that she's "nothing but naked fanservice" is as big a disservice to her because you're writing off the good moments she still has. And I think plenty of people have posted evidence to support that she is a lot more than just "a greedy money grubber".
Nami's just an object now. She was once a great character, and that great character is gone now, replaced by a half naked thing in its place.
Again, respectfully disagree. I would dearly love to see her be less objectified, but her personality is still intact and is focused on as we saw in Shabondy when she forgave Hachi, and again when she was going to use all the money they had to buy Caimie at the auction.
Whereas Roger is a god of the manga, who keeps getting more and more depth, whose actions continue to reverberate and influence the world, even 22 years after his death.
Right. roger's an idea we really don't know much about. He's not a character in the same respect that Nami is, he's a plot device at this point. We know next to nothing about him, how he got to where he was, or what drove him to do what he did. He's an icon with no personality at this point. So… sort of an object.

@robbybevard:
W7? You mean the godawful fanservice Calipha fight where all logic went out the door just to get two female characters naked?
That was Enies Lobby, not Water 7.
Water 7 was when she told Usopp not to care about the stolen money and was worried about him. When she basically was the only one who tried with all her might to keep the crew together. When she risked her life during Aqua Laguna to tell Luffy to get his shit together because Robin intends to die for them.
She was awesome in W7.
@robbybevard:I mean seriously. THIS is a campaign?
http://i29.tinypic.com/votr9k.jpgAn awful campaign by idiots who get turned on by cartoon boobs and that don't give two shits about personality.
The good campaigns, that show what a well developed character Nami is, far outweigh this shit.
Nobody denies that TB and the Calipha fight have been awful for her character, but there are so many people who reduce her to those two things and ignore/forget the great moments she had before and after that.

Rage more son.
Nami isnt my fav char of this series, but Roger pisses me off cuz of Ace ffs.
I wish he had kept it in his pants.
