What hasn't he done to earn your vote?
Are you saying he doesn't have enough respect? You find his politeness to be lacking? You saying his personal integrity leaves something to be desired? I think not, my good sir. If you want a diligent, dignified character, you should look no further than Hiking Bear.
Hiking Bear. Join him, and hike towards a future of honor, strong values, and good old fashioned hard work.

I lost seven pounds after he posed with me. Dude has my vote unless he tangos with the Vasco ladymeister.
-
So he steals from you and you're still going to vote for him?

I admit that was a better response than I expected. However, that's still not good enough. Not once have I found the Hiking Bear entertaining or interesting in manga, and if a candidate is neither than I'm not going to even consider voting for them. No amount of photoshops, silly writing, etc. is going to work unless you can state what made him so great in the manga.

@Chucklepants:
I think I'll vote Hiking Bear.
But this year's champion is Fake Chopper (and company).
About that; Seeing there is plenty of empty spaces right now, wouldn't it be better if the fake straw hats are included separately.
Fake Chopper, Fake Sanji & Fake Robin w/ Cucumber have much better chances if they entered separately than going along w/ rest of the fakes.

You have a good point there. But I think you're forgetting a certain scene from the manga.
!
They passed him. He bowed. They bowed. And then they went about their day. There was nothing more to add, It was only a fleeting moment, but so much mutual respect was shown, that you just have to marvel at it. And really, that passing scene was all we ever really needed. I think we should all try a little harder to be like Hiking Bear.
To everyone who said they would vote for Hiking Bear, thank you. If we work together, maybe we can give our honest, furry friend the championship he deserves.

Well, you got my vote.

Hiking Bear shows a better world we all want to live in.
Give him some respect, so he gives you some too. -
buggy shows respect to hiking bear and he shows respect to buggy
perfect no?
-
The Soul King will beat all!

There's no proof that Buggy would show respect to the Hiking Bear!!

@Sniper:

there's no proof he wouldn't , and we all know buggy likes animals

@metteminne:

Yeah, but….
But...
BUGGY IS RELATED TO THE JOKER!!
YEAH!! sure, why not…
Would you want a champion related to a crazy murderer? -
Crazy murderers are the best!!!!
-
-
The Joker is a pretty awesome villain I must say.
-
Indeed, in fact, there isn't a better comic book villain out there than The Joker.
-
???
A better comic villain than Joker?
Well, I go by cruelty, and I consider Doctor Doom to be worse.
He dissects Asgardians and stuff. While they're alive.The Joker zapped Alex Luthor's face and burned it and stuff. That's the cruelest thing I can think of that he did.

This is getting off topic again.

@Mrs.:

Soon. Very soon.

If Fake Chopper is Oliver…. then is Fluffy Dodger? :ninja: (Make this campaign happen)
@eerie:Soon. Very soon.
Yay!
Speaking of clowns, I always had a question about this image I found. Who is the third character in the background? Because he does not look like a clown to me. :ermm:

Looks like we have a winner

Kefka Palazzo from Final Fantasy 6
Buggy is going to kick some much ass in the tournament too

What if… in the final round..
Buggy vs. Crocodile???? or Buggy vs. Hiking Bear????
Who will prevail? -

but bear will be polite to just step aside and let buggy win
-
Not if Buggy doesn't bow, or he'll make chop wood out of him! :-s
-
read my previous comments about that
-
@metteminne:
read my previous comments about that
Well, I see your point. I mean, Buggy IS the captain of a circus pirate clan.
Aside from Lions, a circus needs a bear balancing on a big ball!
Hiking Bear for NN (buggy's pirate clan)!!!
-
Are you serious. Hiking Bear does not deserve to be an underling of a clown, even if it is Buggy.
-
I guess it all depends on whether Buggy bows or not

To me, what makes that scene work is Usopp's panic mode and later the fact that he confuses a woman with a hiking bear, not the bear itself. Now, maybe if Oda had the Hiking Bear in more scenes in the background and it had do a few silly things that made me chuckle, you might have been able to get my vote because Oda did enough work for me to consider it. Sadly, that didn't happen.
Don't bother trying to get my vote, you might as well move mountains.
What if… in the final round..
Buggy vs. Crocodile???? or Buggy vs. Hiking Bear????
Who will prevail?That will never happen. The Hiking Bear is too silly and minor of a character that most of the people who just vote and leave won't consider voting for him if he's against a well-liked character.
And if last year is any indication with Croc losing to Bon (a character any candidate has to be capable of beating in order to the finals), Enel losing to Dragon (who is hype and thus has almost nothing on his plate), and Blackbeard losing to that goat, added with the fact that none of the new villains seem to have attracted a large following, then there's almost no chance of a villain winning or making it to the finals (this year at least).

Why not just use Kumacy, he has a big ball on his head already.

Hiking Bear got out of the prelims last year. He's well liked.
Bon Kurei was in the finals last year. To assume someone has to be able to beat him in order to get that far is silly.
Croc will lose for different reasons.
Anyway, being the overall champion isn't the only way to consider a character's run a success. Hiking Bear was successful last year simply for making it out of the prelims.

And Hiking Bear will be successful this year for winning the tournament.
Of course, no matter what, the most important thing is respect, but it is my opinion that the one with the most respect should be the one to obtain the title of champion.
It's the least we all can do, to show how much we appreciate Hiking Bear's unbreakable values and kind heart.
-
My full support goes to Crocodile and Buggy.
[hide][/hide]
Still unsure about several other characters, however.

They are two of the most awesome characters ever. I need to draw more fanart of them…
-
Crocodile is the most awesome character ever. I'm never drawing Buggy again…
Fixed that for ya!

There should be a haiku about Master Hiking Bear.

Noooope, sorry, I think you missheard me Eerie. ;) Better get those ears checked~
edit: Hiking Bear Haiku
Honor and respect
The Hiking Bear values most
On his pure mountain -
Don't bother trying to get my vote, you might as well move mountains.
Looking at you user title… yeah; he won't get your vote b/c you can't even vote yet.
That will never happen. The Hiking Bear is too silly and minor of a character that most of the people who just vote and leave won't consider voting for him if he's against a well-liked character.
You don't seem to grasp what this tournament is all about at all. The stuff he's doing is what keeps this tournament funny & interesting. If this a flat out character popularity poll it'd be boring.
So keep it going kylor. Buggy fans can give up on my vote though

Buggy, you say?

You bow as you pass
Otherwise you will find out
Why he has that stick -
Hiking Bear/ Drum resident/ Always mobile/ Why not vote/ Someone less noble?/ Burma-Shave

Any fantastic artists willing to draw a godly Fake Chopper and friends campaign? If so, let me know. I'd ruin it if I tried it myself :\
