Yeah…Well you'll get used to that! :D
That's another lie Puffin you'll never get used to it…
But I'm the one that always lies.
Like someone will believe you on that.
normally i'll be worried with Chrissie going with Magma boy. But i guess he still wont be able to beat Fist of Love
Very intersting matches.
I hope that my favorite characters pass through this round.

Chrissie was just the first to convert. More will come in droves now. Justice might just prevail afterall.
But Garp is also justice… but Chrissie has cookies which will help win my vote.
But Garp is also justice… but Chrissie has cookies which will help win my vote.
Garp has Justice, but not Absolute Justice.
Basco has ABSOLUT Vodka, but no justice. Him and Garp should team up.
But Garp is also justice… but Chrissie has cookies which will help win my vote.
He's just pretending to follow justice. Or are you really trying to convince me that he seriously believed that a pack of rotten mountain bandids will raise his grandchildren in the proper way for them to become great Marine officers or Marines at all? That was destined to fall from the get go and the result speaks for itself. If he wasn't pretending than there can be no other words for that move than EPIC FAIL!
There's only one symbol of true justice:

Garp is synonymous to EPIC WIN!
Him leaving his grandchildren with mountain bandits just proves how cool and untight he is.
"Oh noeee i need to get my children in the best private schools, they have to be trained by the best marine academy there is, etc etc …" = EPIC FAIL
Garp = "hahahahha kids you have to survive with these mountain bandits. Do you see NANNY written on my forehead? So cope on your own Kids" - Now that's badass!

Kuhahahahahaha :devil:
But in the end it caused ace to die = EPIC WIN!
i already made a draw for the first match:

EPIC WIN for us but EPIC FAIL to what Garp had wished for…until of course you're trying to tell me that it was his plan all along for Roger's son to meet his end that way. Now that would be a character twist I'd really appreciate. :devil:
Urgh, how I wish my two weeks of National Guard training didn't take place during the tourney. At least it'll be in the first round and not in later rounds.
Time for my shexy post:

Of course, he never wanted to raise his worst enemies illegitimate child. He hated him from the moment they met. Why do you think he left him with a bunch of grown men that only have one woman? He wanted him to get raped. Then he sent Luffy in hopes that he'd try and kill him.
Assassin Luffy?
That reminds on a fanfic where Luffy was an undercover marine agent, who led united forces of a pirate summit into a trap and thus successfully ended the Pirate Age.
Akainu vs. Garp.
Why now?
Was that after his crew and his rival rescued him Davy Jone's Locker to help unite all the pirates?
I think it was more like an aftertmath of the battle. The reward ceremony, detailed execution of the Straw Hats and then a crying session on Garps shoulder.
Ultimately, that piece proved that most fan writers shouldn't explore other genres and stick to the Zoro x Sanji routine.
How does the process work to make these match-ups? Popularity? Vote percentage during prelims? placement in prelims?
Or, were they drawn from a magical hat!?
Either way, some of these matches look pretty serious! looking at you Garp/Akainu
@Muda:

Reading first or second posts tends to be useful. Just saying.
I drew the Round myself out an old treasure chest that I've had lying around for a while. So all credit for the great matches go to me. If you don't like the matches, well, that's Robby's fault. It's always Robby's fault. Doubtless he'll say it isn't, but that's the way he is. Always shirking responsibility for his actions.
OMG there are some epic battles in there.
pwngoat vs teach
sengoku AND garp are up against an admiral, battle of beast stronger vs banchi,. . .
I'm totally psyched !
also, basco will totally own shiki
Uh…Gedatsu is not an Admiral.
02. Chimney vs. Bellemere Ow! Why not just stick a knife in my heart?! Chimney's victory in the preliminary was really awesome, but how am I supposed to vote against Bellemere..?
24. Vista vs. Magellan
Aww… but I love them both...
26. Tom vs. Smoker
FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
33. Franky vs. Luffy
Much as I love Luffy, he won last year and Franky's pure awesome.
36. Hattori vs. Gin

I think Brook is probably the only Strawhat I'm gonna vote for in the tournament. Sorry Margie…
51. Roger vs. Pandaman
An epic battle for the ages…
54. Coby vs. Kung Fu Dugongs
Shit… good luck, Coby. :(
59. Kuma vs. Laboon
What a whale of a match. I can _bear_ly stand it. :O
wth gecko moria vs red hair pirates??
Reading first or second posts tends to be useful. Just saying.
I kinda figured it was drawn by random (referring to the Ubiq post), especially when it was reaffirmed by Robby's comment about "insisting we stick to the order they were drawn in. Meh."
But, I got kinda confused when Robby went on to say that "if Sanji had won first in his prelim instead of Inazuma… we'd be having Sanji versus Zoro in the first round...", making me think they weren't drawn randomly, but were set up by prelim placement, vote %, etc….
Thanks anyways. I'll just assume they were randomly pulled anyways! :D
@Mark:
wth gecko moria vs red hair pirates??
So the curbstomping begins…
They were randomly pulled, but the placement was as numbers instead of actual names. So it was like, "Xth Round, Yth Place" as a place holder. If Sanji won, then his name would be in said placeholder. However, since Inazuma won, his name was placed instead.

I like Pandaman but i will totally vote for Roger he, is my homeboy.
ok here's gekko's outcomes… well not prediction.. but my desired outcome, skipping the matches I just don't care about:
[hide]01. Apoo vs. ShuShu
(shushu is old news. I like Apoo)
02. Chimney vs. Bellemere
(tough, but Bellemere is the shit and is chilling in honorable heaven with the good doctor from drum)
04. Gedatsu vs. Sengoku
(I'd be voting carelessly if it wasn't for Sengoku's awesome DF and Palm Shockwave)
05. Camie vs. Hina
(Obvious)
06. Whitebeard vs. Aokiji
(THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEATING ENEL IN THE PRILIM!!)
07. Ryuma vs. Jango
(Very Very tough choice. hmmm…. Ryuma. And yeah... it's purely for the complete win of character design)
08. Dreadlock Chain Chomp vs. Dr. Hiluluk
Obvious
09. Akainu vs. Garp
(Toughest choice… gonna go with Akainu though. The badguys will rock this tournament!)
10. Shackey vs. Marco
(I don't care what anyone says… I like Marco)
11. Calgara vs. Usopp
(I know what i've said about the Strawhats before… but I just like Usopp better.)
12. Going Merry vs. Kaku
(cheer's to my favorite CP9 member)
13. Crocodile vs. Rob Lucci
(obvious)
14. Ivankov vs. Doma and Monkey with a Gun
(Ivankov is great! But Doma is one of my favorite of the WB pirates. He's got a monkey that rides on his fucking shoulder and shoots people!!)
15. Chopper vs. T-Bone
(I've always liked T-Bone.)
16. Iceburg vs. Ace
(I'll vote ace cause I feel obligated to. The current flashback will probably make me like him more just as his final moments did)
17. Red-Hair Pirates vs. Gecko Moria
(He's NOT DEAD! He…. He just can't be!!!)
19. Mihawk vs. Momonga
(another tough one. But Mihawk has always been cool for me)
20. Nojiko vs. Gun Fall
(The old man was great! Loved his whole character and design)
21. Pwngoat vs. Marshall D. Teach
(:devil: …no reason)
22. Norland vs. Hiking Bear
(I'll gracefull bow to the Hiking Bear)
23. Cricket vs. Drake
(that's right! i'm voting for romantic adventure. And hardboiled salvagers who dive everyday and smoke cigarettes!)
24. Vista vs. Magellan
(I'm so so so fucking sorry Vista. You're one of my fav. Why couldn't it have been you versus Shakey instead of Marco!! But I cannot deny how awesome Magellan made Impel Down.)
25. Thousand Sunny vs. Kid
(The pimp ship would get tore the fuck apart by this bastard. Such a terrible matchup for a ship)
26. Tom vs. Smoker
(Voting for justice with a DON!!)
27. Buggy vs. Foxy
(Well done brother… The Davy Back Fight was one of my favorite parts of the series. But I cannot deny Buggy-Sama)
30. Mr. 3 vs. Duval
(my Duval buzz is wearing off. Mr.3 gave a wonderful comeback and even managed to outshine the great Buggy for a moment during the war)
31. Enel vs. Kuina
(YA-HaHahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahAHAHAHA)
32. Bon Kurei vs. Yasopp
(made me cry… a second fucking time)
33. Franky vs. Luffy
(Franky is the man. He's extra super right now. Luffy rules. But he's such a danger to my more tourney front runners. Shut him out NOW AP!)
35. Sanji vs. Shiryu
(M. Bison is just sweet. And will hopefully be sweet in the future)
39. Zeff vs. San Juan Wolf
(Zeff is a member of the "Badass old men" club in One Piece. Nuff said)
40. Inazuma vs. Roronoa Zoro
(Zoro will probably defeat Inazuma anyway… i'll decide how I feel on the day of the match. This is more of a prediction though. Shoulda voted Sanji AP... it's too late now)
42. Bepo vs. Wiper
(Bepo rules)
43. Arlong vs. Hatchan
(It's ARLONG!)
45. Genzo vs. Beckman
(It was great to see you Mr. Beckmen… now do something cool!!)
46. Brook vs. Margaret
(I just don't wanna vote Margaret)
47. Dragon vs. Jabura
(obvious)
48. Carue vs. Dorry and Broggy
(the giants rule. It's just sooo manly and cool!)
50. Aphelandra vs. Van Augur
("blah blah blah fate")
51. Roger vs. Pandaman
(Roger was the King)
53. Urouge vs. Lucky Roo
(Urouge is like… the coolest!)
54. Coby vs. Kung Fu Dugongs
(actually imagining this match just cracks me the fuck up. Really. I'm laughing right now)
55. Doc Q vs. Jesus Burgess
(Fav member of the BB pirates. Burgess is sweet)
56. Olvia vs. Rayleigh
(Oliva is such a great charac…. wait I mean't Rayleigh. He's great)
58. Paulie vs. Trafalgar Law
(This choice was made ONLY and ONLY due to his part as of late in the manga. Congrats on giving this fangirl magnet a damn role!)
59. Kuma vs. Laboon
("If you were to go on a trip… where would you like to go?"
[hide][/hide]
60. Kizaru vs. Makino
(Obvious)
64. Donquixtoe DoFlamingo vs. Nico Robin
(FufufufufufufuFUfufufufufufufufu!!)[/hide]
@Muda:
Or, were they drawn from a magical hat!?
Treasure chest, actually.
But, I got kinda confused when Robby went on to say that "_if Sanji had won first in his prelim instead of Inazuma… we'd be having Sanji versus Zoro in the first round..."
In order to get things set up in time and organized, (the vs. images, order of the matches, and whatnot) the actual drawing was done about ten days ago. For the last few matches that hadn't taken place yet, round numbers and ranks were written down. 26-1, 26-2, 26-3, 26-4, 27-1, 27-2 and so on.
Zoro was slated to go up against 30-1, WHOEVER that ended up being. Looking at the roster for round 30, the staff had assumed that Sanji would take that slot, or MAYBE Richie as a lulz vote. To our surprise, Inuzuma stormed through to first by a landslide, and became 30-1.
It would have been the same sheet of paper, with the same name and the same result if the drawing had been done yesterday, and we made a big point of not saying anything that would affect the flow of a match by indicating "if this person wins first, then they'll get to fight this person". It was still a random drawing, it just had representative numbers in a few slots for a few days.
But for a couple of days there, behind the scenes we were sure we were looking at Zoro vs. Sanji in the first round._
Hopefully he can beat Zoro also to knock a Strawhat out. But we are guaranteed to knock at least one out this round, there's a strawhat Vs. strawhat figth this round.
On a side note, can senior embers who are not on the tournament staff still see what you guys are planning?
Wow…this is going to be one hell of an interesting tournament this year! Can't wait :)

Zoro was slated to go up against 30-1, WHOEVER that ended up being. Looking at the roster for round 30, the staff had assumed that Sanji would take that slot, or MAYBE Richie as a lulz vote. To our surprise, Inuzuma stormed through to first by a landslide, and became 30-1.
It would have been the same sheet of paper, with the same name and the same result if the drawing had been done yesterday, and we made a big point of not saying anything that would affect the flow of a match by indicating "if this person wins first, then they'll get to fight this person". It was still a random drawing, it just had representative numbers in a few slots for a few days.
But for a couple of days there, behind the scenes we were sure we were looking at Zoro vs. Sanji in the first round.
There's no way a match as satisfying as number 21 wasn't intentional.

Nope. Its all as fate (and the voting audience) determined it to be.

Otherwise I was trying to rig a Kuina/Tashigi match.
The staff was pretty adamant about keeping it random, as drawn, since its a slippery slope otherwise.
Am i the only one afraid that Nami might lose to Dr. Blackbeard…
Afraid would imply I thought it was bad. So, no, not at all.

There must be a Strawhat Purge. The Good Doctor will see to it that the Cat Burglar is safely behind bars.
Wow, my two favorite villains are fighting each other the first round… Not Rob Lucci and Crocodile but the only 2 real villains of the show... Buggy vs. Foxxy
