Fourth Round Discussion Thread

[e1n]

Well, this time I got the honor of drawing the fourth round. I did this by writing a number on 16 pennies, putting them inside a box, shaking it, and pulling the closest penny to the left side of the box with my left hand, and the penny closest to the right side of the box with my right hand.

Box is re-shaken every draw.

Here's the line-up for the 4th round:

Draw 1: Pirate King Gol D. Roger and Commodore Smoker meet in a battle between mustache and cigarettes.

Draw 2: Red Hair Shanks and Monkey D. Luffy meet in an epic battle between the current owner and the ex-owner of what will surely be a legendary strawhat.

Draw 3: Another epic battle between One Piece's cash-hoarding mascot and the epitome of badass-motherfucking old man: Tony Tony Chopper vs Dark King, Silvers Rayleigh.

Draw 4: Old man vs old man! Monkey D. Garp meets Quack Doctor Hiruluk in a battle to eat viagra-flavored rice-cracker.

Draw 5: After conquering a rotten dead zombie in the third round, the late Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate is up against another character in afterlife: the late Norland Montblanc!

Draw 6: The leader of the revolutionary, Monkey D. Dragon, set sail to the okama land to battle fans' favorite: Mr. 2 Bon Kurei!

Draw 7: More Strawhats matchup with Usopp trying to win the fans with his long nose over Nico Robin's capability to produce multiple hands to satisfy multiple men.

Draw 8: And last but not least, we have a battle between the Royal Shichibukai: Mr. Big Sword Man Dracule Mihawk, against Mr. Laser-Beam Spit Bartholomew Kuma

Full Match-up:

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker (308:357)
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy (389:289)
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh (174:475)
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk (409:261)
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc (487:155)
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei (191:468)
Usopp vs Nico Robin (368:365)
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma (364:282)

Let the next round roll.

Well, as soon as the filler match(es) is (are) done.

[GJardim]

So here's my list for who I'll vote if campaings don't change my mind completely.

Roger
Shanks
Rayleigh
Garp
Can't decide
Mr. 2
Usopp
Mihawk.

Norland is awesome, and Whitebeard is too, so in that one I'll have to wait and see who'll get my vote.

[IceBorg]

Oh poor Norland.

But lets go Roger fans, lets beat Smoker.

[Badass SnoCone]

These are some interesting matchups.

[IceBorg]

I wanted Norland to go a little further but its hard to beat WB.

[Robo Gorilla]

Yay, matchups are up.

[piratemarimo]

Yes, Shanks vs. Luffy!! Shame we couldn't get Hiriluk vs. Norland, but I'm still rooting for both of them this round. also love Strawhat vs. Strawhat.

[Kaze]

Ohhhhh, Ussop Lost this.

Easy Victory for WB, Gol. D, and Garp.

I don't care about the Shichibukai fight. P: they can both lose.

Also give me a fuckin break. Shanks vs luffy. Shanks better win is all I can say.

[Sâuza]

Nice, Shanks should beat the crap out of Luffy i think.
And Robin has her chances.

[Zorororo3]

1. Smoker 2. Luffy 3. Rayleigh 4. Hiruluk 5. Whitebeard 6. Bon Clay 7. Robin 8. Mihawk

[Fire-Fist]

woaaa…... here we go

[No Maam]

I hope for Robin beating Ussop . Other then that prety much the only thing I am 100 % sure on is Whitebeard advancing .

Not sure if Ray can take on the diabetes inducing ball of cuddliness that is Chopper .

[KamenRiderNeko]

I think it should go like this:

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker (Though I know more than half the forum is biased towards Roger so I'm not getting my hopes up)
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy (I've always been more of a Luffy fan anyway)
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh (The latest chapters, nuff said)
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk (Like both, but Garp is likely to win this one)
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc (Again, I sense a lot of bias on this match. And lots of manglaze)
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei (Bon Kurei has to win!!!)
Usopp vs Nico Robin (Still one of my favorite SH's)
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma (Mihawk>Kuma anyday)

These will be some interesting matches.

[MikeyDPirate]

Curses. Now I have to face one of my hardest decision. Usopp, the legendary hero Batman/whatever else he seem to cross over to do, verse the lovely lady Robin.

If Usopp wins against Robin then can we call him the ladykiller since this be the second female StrawHat he takes out of this tournament?

[No Maam]

There will not be manglaze in the Whitebeard match .

Only manly love and manly death .

[KamenRiderNeko]

@No:

There will not be manglaze in the Whitebeard match .

Only manly love and manly death .

I like the sound of that better! Looking forward to this particular match for some reason.

[IceBorg]

@No:

There will not be manglaze in the Whitebeard match .

Only manly love and manly death .

Listen to this man, he is right.

And don't forget to vote Roger.

[Fire-Fist]

My predictions

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei
Usopp vs Nico Robin
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma

[BBTEACH]

Gol D. Roger
Red Hair Shanks
Silvers Rayleigh
Monkey D. Garp
Whitebeard
Mr. 2 Bon Kurei
Usopp
Dracule Mihawk

My picks Although in all likely hood Luffy will beat Shanks

[Fire-Fist]

@freedom:

Ah, the fourth round has been announced.

Freedom's 100% accurate predictions!!

6. Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei

no one bloded in that match. you predicting a tie? :ninja:

[No Maam]

I say Roger may beat Smoker given how he's not done anything extra in the war and his recent apearance just means we won't see him till a long while in the NW , because I doubt G….5 was it (?) is right outside of Fishman Island .

And ya know maybe the hiatus raises Luffy's chances of not winning ?

[Kishido]

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker
Roger will be awesome for sure… But for now Smoker has more feats on his side

Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy
Luffy…

Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh
Rayleigh all the way

Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk
Garp…

Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc
Epicbeard has my vote. He has to win this year

Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei
Dragon…

Usopp vs Nico Robin
Dunno why… But I will chose Robin

Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma
…

[piratemarimo]

I hope we can get a higher percentage for Norland than we did for Makino. We've got Robby on Norland's side, and we all know what happened the last time he campaigned actively for a character.

[freedom]

@Fire-Fist:

maybe :ninja:

[No Maam]

I sense you are planing mischief freedom . :ninja:

[NicoNico28]

My Picks:
1)Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker
2)Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy 3)Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh (How the Hell did Rayleigh get 1 of the 2 I didn't want him to get)
4)Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk
5)Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc (Dammit,1st Makino now Norland? I HATE YOU WB!)
6)Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei
7)Usopp vs Nico Robin (My number 1 vs my number 15)
8)Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma

note to self: vote pops before reading anything that can corrupt me.

[GreatLiver]

As long as Mr 2 Passes and Luffy and Robin get out, I'll be happy. Make it so.

[C_uggs]

()Chopper vs Rayleigh(@)
()Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk(@)
(@)Whitebeard vs Norland()
()Dragon vs Bon Kurei(@)
(@)Usopp vs Nico Robin()

Roger VS Smoker:

Chopper VS Raileigh:
HHAHAHAHA Kawaii factor vs MANGLAZE.(well, not if kitsune is telling the truth about hes new ways of campaings)

THANKS AP FORUMS..:wub::wub:

Mihawk VS Kuma

Mihawk - my sword…..
kuma - ............................

now serious..can Mihawk take out this PX-0 to the junkyard
to be recycled ?

[Gekko135]

Just a thought.

If Zoro was bested by Mihawk.

Then Luffy should lose to Shanks.

Simple math parkers.

[Lhûgion]

1. Roger vs Smoker
2. Shanks vs Luffy
3. Chopper vs Rayleigh
4. Garp vs Hiriluk
5. Whitebeard vs Norland
6. Dragon vs Bon Kurei (I'm so damn afraid of the okamafandom O.O … they killed crocodile...)
7. Usopp vs Robin (Also afraid after the Nami-incident)

8. Mihawk vs Kuma

[Gekko135]

Gekko's wishlist:

The shareholders have informed me of the current standings on who they'd like to win:

1.) Roger vs Smoker -Roger has been on a respectable roll.
2.) Shanks vs Luffy -COME ON PEOPLE!
3.) Chopper vs Rayleigh -Ray, hands down. He's been great lately.
4.) Garp vs Hiriluk -Garp is the man. And as much is I like Hiriluk, Garp would make for a more exciting coming round.
5.) Whitebeard vs Norland -It's his year. WB earned it. Nuff Said.
6.) Dragon vs Bon Kurei -Dragon has it coming. And who better to knock him out than this tournament's dark horse.
7.) Usopp vs Robin -Feeling like Robin ATM. It might change.
8.) Mihawk vs Kuma -I just like Kuma better.

[freedom]

@No:

I sense you are planing mischief freedom . :ninja:

whatever do you mean :whistling:

[Silverblade]

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei
Usopp vs Nico Robin
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma

Dragon against Bentham? That's it, I may have brought him so far, but now I rest my case. For some reasons, Bentham is way too popular around here.

On the brighter side, if everything goes well, fifth round will only see but one Straw Hat.

[piratemarimo]

Dragon vs. Bon-chan? Last time I checked friendship > hype.

[freedom]

@Gekko135:

What is this!! As one of your primary shareholders, this is unacceptable!

[KzTxL7]

Shanks has a chance to take down Luffy?

Now I'm not so angry that Shanks took down Moria.

[Gekko135]

@piratemarimo:

Dragon vs. Bon-chan? Last time I checked Friendship > hype

I know right? Well last round seemed to have proved in AP's eyes:

Major Arc villain, entertaining, and still relevant to the plot < hype

[paranoik0s]

Robin vs Usopp

hohohoho its time for Usopp to pay

[Gekko135]

@freedom:

What is this!! As one of your primary shareholders, this is unacceptable! [qimg]http://www.emoticons.free.fr/smileys/Action-Smoke/smoke3.gif[/qimg]

Lotta people have been assuming this lately.

[KzTxL7]

Once/If Shanks takes down Luffy, then its guaranteed no Strawhat will win this tournament.

After that, Shanks can lose for all I care.

[Ashura_KingFisher]

Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei

Easy opponent for Bon-chan. Nice.

I personally think Usopp vs Robin will be he the hardest match this round.

[asm00200]

this round is for the old guys.

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei
Usopp vs Nico Robin
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma

[Robby]

@piratemarimo:

Nah. I'll vote Norland but Whitebeard is going to sweep that round, a ton of people haven't even read the flashback Norland appears in due to where it falls during Skypeia, and he only narrowly got this far against BEPO.

Its going to be a huge slaughter and its not really worth the effort. Makino I was pretty much obligated to do after the bet in round 1.

Bon Kurei on the other hand….

@Ashura_KingFisher:

Easy opponent for Bon-chan. Nice.

I personally think Usopp vs Robin will be he the hardest match this round.

Dragon beat Eneru. I'm worried about him being a legit threat. Hell, Makino beat Kizaru and Pwngoat beat Blackbeard. Anything can happen!

(Well, Norland can't beat Whitebeard. Unless everyone actually keeps pace with the re-read and reads his flashback the day of the match.)

[freedom]

@Gekko135:

Lotta people have been assuming this lately.

I'm just BS'ing, don't know about the others :ninja:

[No Maam]

I don't supose we'll have us one of them "bring someone back" matches that people have been clamoring for eh ?

[Airflow]

Smoker
Shanks
Rayleigh
Hiruluk
Whitebeard
Mr 2
Robin
Mihawk

easy round for me

[Muda Muda no Mi]

I'm gonna echo Gekko's choices, with the exception of match 7; Usopp deserves it more than Robin does, from both a story and tournament perspective.

Roger vs Smoker
Shanks vs Luffy
Chopper vs Rayleigh
Garp vs Hiriluk
Whitebeard vs Norland
Dragon vs Bon Kurei
Usopp vs Robin
Mihawk vs Kuma
