Can't wait to see my favorite swordsman and my favorite cook kick some ass.
The super awesome flashback makes the feel just right.
After seeing how much Robing went through, seeing Luffy, Sanji and Zoro go berserk would be so sweeeeet!
And Sanji better get some new attack that puts him on par with Zoro (who i say is slightly stronger than Sanji, but only because of his funky chi attacks :) )
The rivalry theyve built up has got to mean something, and Oda writes it pretty much like hes trying to put them on the same tier.
Which is exactly why Kaku and Jyabura have so much significance. Kaku is to Jyabura what Zoro is to Sanji :)
Usopp, my man, im dying to see what hes done to that new weapon of his.
Right now, i dont even care about his fight or he he is going to face (doesnt mean im not gonna enjoy his fight) but in my mind i can only see the guy from Blackbeard's crew giving Usopp an incredible battle
Nami, <3 X infinity
COnsidering the new power she wields, Kalipha has to be insanely strong to stand up to it.
Nami better not mess up Kalifa's face though. Shes the prettiest female char in OP <3 X infinity again
Chopper - NEW FORMS!!!!! NOW!
I need him to get motivated and fight like the Chopper that fought Kuromarmo instead of the Chopper that fought the Priests .
Yay for Zoans.
Lastly Luffy - I really dont have much to say about him. The least predictable out of the strawhats and i love it.What ever he is going to do, i know im going to love it.
I always saw Lucci being Jyabura's rival as Kaku and Jyabura seem to get along fine except for the occasional joke.
that's why I see kaku going against Usopp or Sanji,both have strong cases as to why they should face him which makes it a very tough choice but I guess it all comes down to which straw hat you like better Sanji or Ussop to give the better fight.
Usopp is great and all, and in all likelyhood, probably has something with him with which he can take out someone as strong as Kaku - I dunno Hot chili
but i really cant see anything besides
Top 3 vs Top 3 and
HL…...erm girl on..vs girl fight atm.
Chopper, Usopp, kumadori and Chapapa are the only ones left in such a case and theyd make perfect matches against each other.
Tag team action in this case would be awesome too as in
Zoro/Sanji vs Kaku/Jyabura
Usopp/Chopper vs Kumadori/Fukuro
Yeah I do see your point of view but so far Kaku seems a Little more concerned about Usopp and his situation then he is with Sanji and there have been subtle hints that him and Usopp might confront each other.There's the whole destroying Mary thing plus while Sogeking flies through the air he's the only CP9 member to comment on him it's these type of things that make me lean toward's Sogeking but either way it will be very entertaining.
Sanji can take a backseat for now and let Sogeking take on Kaku while he get's Kumadori.
I agree, it'd be interesting to watch Sanji fight the suicidal guy who tries to kill himself but fails because he uses tekkai when he does it.
I was looking through old one piece pics and I came across one from the arlong arc that was similar to the "mugiwara vs. CP9" pic. The photo top and bottom pics corresponded to the fight setups. I thoink this could be the same with the up coming fight minus blueno and spandam. If you remove robin and franky from the top row of the versus pic the battle pairings come out as
Usopp v Fukurou - liar v the compusively honest. I think this could be interesting.
Zoro v Kaku - I really want to see this one.
Luffy v Lucchi - NO QUESTIONS ASKED
Sanji v Jyabura - This seems to fit as it completes the top 3 strawhats v the top 3 CP 9(in my opinion)
Chopper v Kalifa - this is the only iffy pairing in my mind but maybe kalifa ate the reindeer devil fruit???
Nami v Kumadori - this one is possible as both are staff users but other than that i got nothin for this one.
Do you mind me asking where you found that pic, Akkiosoregan? I've been looking for that one… it screams 'desktop wallpaper' to me.
Perhaps Robin will be sprung in the course of the battle, and one of the fights will be disrupted as she provides a second set of hands (and third, fourth :3). It could actually be the perfect way to crack the "How will Luffy outclass Lucci" dilemma? While they fight, she creates a pair of hands to snag her keys, another to throw them to her, and she lets herself out, showing up to crack Lucci's neck right as he was gonna destroy Luffy.
I'm a bit tired of the "Luffy always takes and levels the big foe" story. It was okay the first few times, but it makes arc endgames repetitive.
Sorry, but how can she use her power when she is in seastone cuffs?
If a person knew anything about martial arts or even boxing, strength its just one factor in a fight. Actually being too big can be a big disadvantage.
Also to the person who said if you are stronger strength wise, u should be able to take stronger hits. That is not true at all. The face is very vulnerable, the kidneys as well, the nuts. It really only helps with body shots and that depends on alot of things. Skin is still skin, no matter how strong the muscle is under.
One of the best sumo wrestlers ever, was one of the smallest sumo wrestlers ever.

You mean this one? http://ap.animemedia.org/showthread.php?t=5320
Personally, I don't think the position of the characters in that picture are going to reflect the actual results. Maybe Oda will do something really off the wall and throw everyone off. :P

I think he wanted the arlong pic.
Bounty1berry - here's the link not great quality though

edit: I have no idea how to quote!!!
I just wanted to make a small change to my previous predictions here:
http://ap.animemedia.org/showpost.php?p=200837&postcount=70
(don't wanna quote and take up a bunch of room on this page…)
Anyways, I want to switch Fukurou and Calipha's matchups. That puts Fukurou with Ussop and Calipha with Nami (also, with Calipha in Sanji's group battle, I'm wondering if Sanji would attack Calipha if Nami's life was in danger). Also, that means that the group battles somewhat match up with the Strawhats vs. CP9 color spread.
Some other random hpes/thoughts for the battle:
I hope that Zoro takes Kaku out, but I don't want to see him last too long in this battle. He's had a lot of time to shine in the past battles, and with the growing number of Strawhats, I hope that some of the underdeveloped characters (battle wise) have a chance to kick some butt.
And Sanji better get some new attack that puts him on par with Zoro
Chopper - NEW FORMS!!!!! NOW!
I need him to get motivated and fight like the Chopper that fought Kuromarmo instead of the Chopper that fought the Priests .
Yay for Zoans.
I totally agree with these two ideas! I hope that Sanji and Chopper gain some new and unique attacks in this battle. And on Chopper being motivated, I have a feeling from his face in 390 that he's definately pissed off….. ;)
Ah, the Arlong pic…that would be more likely what B1B wants. :laugh:
It's true that in that pic, they do match up, but it's confusing in the CP9 pic because for one thing, Blueno seems to be out of the mix, Spandam isn't much of a fighter, and we don't know if Robin and Franky are fighting. And some characters seem to overlap. Maybe Sogeking will fight Spandam in a battle of lies and wits. XD
Maybe Sogeking will fight Spandam in a battle of … wits. XD
A duel with an unarmed man is hardly a fit challenge for the Champion of Sniper Island!
That's true. :laugh: I'm sure Usopp could make short work of Spanda in physical strength. But it actually might be kind of cool if there was some form of confrontation in which he somehow manages to trick Spandam somehow.
Nami has to fight Califa. 2 sexy Gal's like them, we must see them face off. :rolleyes:
Lets not Forget Franky, i'm sure he'll end up fighting someone.
The problem I have with the Kaku vs. Ussop idea is that there is such a huge gap in strength after Jyabura. If Ussop can beat Kaku than either Sanji or Zorro won't even be challenged to beat their opponent - because both are far stronger than Ussop - and that's a situation I can hardly imagine Oda would draw.
I´ve just noticed that I didn´t throw in my guesses for the upcoming fight in here. Well, I still stay with the guesses I´ve placed in the previous thread, which would be:
Luffy vs. Lucci
Zoro vs. Kaku
Nami vs. Calipha
Sanji vs. Jabura
Chopper vs. Kumadori
Sogeking vs. Fukuro
Franky vs. Spandam
On the last one I`m not that sure. Spandam is a bigger jerk then anyone else we´ve seen in One Piece so far so I think Oda has some special ownage for him in store. Kinda like the Bellamy ownage was unique. And since Spandam is portrayed as much of a bigger jerk I can´t really imagine what kind of defeat Oda would come up with to please make his defeat pleasant. Maybe an All-Strawhat-Combo-Attack or such a thing. :hmm:
Luffy vs. Lucci - No questions.
Zoro vs. Kaku - I think Zoro needs revenge for getting his belly pierced with shigan.
Nami vs. Calipha - Well… Just seems fitting.
Sanji vs. Jyabura - Jyabura is probably stronger than Kaku, and I think Sanji needs to beat him to reach Zoros tier. Also, that thing about his girlfriend breaking up with him makes him a perfect foe for Sanji.
Chopper vs. Kumadori - Don´t know about this one. Kumadori was the only one left when it came to Choppers matchup.
Sogeking vs. Fukuro - As said before, the liar against the compulsive honest guy should make for a really funny fight.
Franky vs. Spandam - Franky needs revenge. I doubt he will have any problems kicking Spandams ass though.
What did Jyabura say about his girlfriend breaking up with him?
Luffy v Lucci
Zoro v Kaku
Sanji v Jyabura
Nami v Calipha
Chopper v Kumadori
Usopp v Fukuro
Paulie v Hattori
Franky/Robin v Spandam
The frog v Spandam's elephant
Sorry, but how can she use her power when she is in seastone cuffs?
Sorry. I don't have the exact details of her imprisonment handy, although maybe she can still generate feet.
I'd just like to see someone other than Luffy pull the curtain down on the battle, for a change. Maybe it should instead be that Robin gets released, then the whole Strawhat brigade marches on Spandam… and Robin finally wipes the floor with him. It seems like Luffy always takes out the foes "for" other people, which leaves me a bit unsatisfied.
And the Arlong colourspread was the one I was wondering about... thanks. I'd seen a bit of it in someone's sig a long time ago. I saw the CP9 one, it's not bad either. The colourspreads really are worthwhile in OP, not just "here's boring chara No 16 standing there"
I'd like to see Luffy smash that little peninsula of rock that keeps Nevernight Island from falling down the hole.
