Hate is too strong a word for someone I am likely never to meet, disagree with, perhaps…
Perona has major problems that need to be addressed before she is a viable candidate, like the fact that she is unwilling to risk her life for anyone, as she has stated in the manga.
If Oda makes Zoro have some effect on her then perhaps she could be considered but now it is just not there.
Well, this is a speculation thread, so predictions for what could happen in the future should be relevant. Maybe people think Jinbei is more likely now, but that could change some day and then the current now wouldn't matter anymore. We Perona supporters are confident that the mentioned Zoro effect wilm occur and that is why we concider her likely. :)
On another note, about the hatred, I didn't mean literary everybody, but i you look around you'll see that we aren't the most popular posters around this thread. If Perona is mentioned in the post, the argument doesn't matter anymore and the response will be some raffled comment about how Perona supporters should be IP Banned or etc.
