These guys ran from just the sight of Magellan, but they went into the war full force
When men of their caliber turn tail what does that tell you?
Vote Magellan, hes a far bigger threat than most realize -
@Venomous:
Indeed they do, and thanks for the support captain
No problem, I just campaign for the character I want to see further. ^.^
Vote Magellan!

wakes up, and sees that Magellan is in the lead
Awesome! :D

Thought about changing it for the Nami match, but maybe not after all.

Hey warden i theres a site with good images for campaign i would put if i know wow to put then

Voted Magellan. The campaigns + my general like for his character were my reason.

Vote Magellan

Vote for Inspiration

@Nia:
I may be underestimating Shanks' fanbase, but I think Magellan has a good chance at winning.
I am sorry to say this, but yes, you are severely underestimating his fanbase. Shanks is one of those few juggernauts that always advances to the late rounds, only to be toppled by someone with much more screentime. People often vote for him without caring about any campaigns, myself included. His emotional and badass appeals are much stronger than many people think.
A strong campaign effort might make the match closer, but honestly, I expect Shanks to have no real difficulties with Magellan.
I know it's way too early to predict anything, but so far it's looking pretty good!
-
Many characters do nothing with their power, but Magellan makes better use of it than anyone
Vote Magellan doing more than most characters ever do throughout a series -
Shanks has the coolest of crews, but the Magellan campaigns are just too good.
-
@Nia:

Vote Magellan
Campaign of the year right there.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Voted for Magellan much earlier on anyway, mainly because so far Shanks's genericness puts me to sleep.
-
I probably should explain…but that would kill the intrigue. Anyway, vote Magellan.
-
Vote Shanks
Not only did he inspire Luffy to strive for greatness….
-
I like poison-users, especially when they aren't evil and/or female. Magellan is not such a bad guy, he's just doing his job. I would like to see him again and know a bit about his past. Shanks… I don't care much for him and the only reason I would like to see his past is because Buggy would probably be there too. Yup, I voted for Magellan... and I'm surprised that he have so many more votes than Shanks, I kinda expected this match to be the other way around, but I'm not gonna complain! :happy:

Vote Magellan
Seeing this made me think of Luffy and co. gathering around, summoning the eternal Magellan only to be put on hold because he was too busy taking a dump.
-
This makes me sad.
Blackbeard in the background, laughing his crazy laugh while Luffy teeters on the edge of shock and horror. Then comes the anger and an epic fight ensues, ending in Luffy falling unconscious just before taking Blackbeard down for good.
Blackbeard goes to finish Luffy off, and finds his way barred by the rest of the crew who have just barely beaten his goon squad. They attack; each doing their own thing, but years of working together making them a seamless team.
Finally they fell the man who has dared to hurt their Captain, physically and emotionally. They circle the fallen man and the last thing he says is “No! Why…?” Zoro steps forward to deliver the killing blow - “Because you hurt him.” One of them - probably Nami - picks up the hat and places it firmly on a waking Luffy’s head, while Chopper tends to his wounds. “But I gave it back. It belongs to -““You haven’t become King yet.” - Zoro
“Besides, you’ll see him again. Eventually. You can give it back to him then.” - Sanji
“And I’ll give Bellemere my completed map then, too.” - Nami
“I’ll be able to show Mum my strength as a warrior!” - Usopp
“And I can show Sensei all my new medicines, too!” - Chopper
Each reinstates their dreams by saying how they’ll show them at the very end to those they’ve lost and Luffy grins, gripping the hat.
“I’ll show them too. Ace, Sabo, Sh-Shanks. I’ll show them my crown!” -
_Remember the man that gave Luffy his dream

Does not compute.It seems most of the Shanks fans are sleeping as the ones that are voted for him so far seem to be lazy,You & I are the only ones campaining for Shanks. Glad to see you hear, someone told me earlier that in previous years Shanks seems to get votes at last minute… I don't know if its true or not but I do know its not over yet and we can still put in an effort :)
I plan to to the bitter end, some people vote for campains and some vote the underdog campaigner's choice = I've seen that several times this year. One character had multiple people campainging for him/her, while only 1 or 2 campaigned for the other and did so relentlessly so a few people who hold out till the end to see the campaigns were swayed
"Wanna be Namaka?"

For those who don't mind a longer read~
! CHAPTER #001 - Romance Dawn
! * Yes, the chapter title is the same as the original take on the manga.-
The front cover is a nice spoiler for those who have yet to even read the manga, but I guess Luffy should be seen with at least some of his Nakama, being that they are a major part of his motivations and all.
-
That is a funky boat, Luffy; where’d you get it?
-
Enter Gold Roger~ One awesome dude. Look at that moustache! And he sure knows how to give a speech, doesn’t he?
-
Cue an awesome spread with Luffy, Nami, Shanks and the rest of Shanks’ crew all rolling in treasure. Aw yeah, dat’s how a pirate rolls~
-
And Luffy’s on a boat. Or ship, in this case. First panel of our hero, all - a blob of black on a ship deck.
-
Oh god, Luffy, there’s no need to be emo about it! So they think you’re a kid; it’s no reason to cut yourself!
-
Cue pani- oh, no, wait. They’re gonna go drink up instead. Great role models, y’all.
-
Aw, and Luffy is so cute! <3 Take me out to sea with you… hm, sounds familiar. Where have I hear that line before?
-
Never mind! Shanks is formally introduced. Ah, the first character that I actually liked. Benn was a close second.
-
And Shanks just loves jerking Luffy’s chain. XD Man, I love this guy!
-
We can see where a lot of Luffy’s ideals come from by just watching the interaction and behaviour of Shanks’ crew.
-
Aw, the crew wants Luffy along. Aaaand they changed their minds fast. Nobody wants to be left behind and miss out on adventure. :D
-
At least Shanks is responsible and grown up enough to- never mind, it was a set up for some more teasing. Just how old is Shanks supposed to be at this time? Around mid-twenties, right? He’s such a troll. ^.^ ~<3
-
Enter Mr. Awesome, Benn Beckman. The sole voice of reason on a ship gone mad. Poor guy, must be boring playing the straight guy all the time.
-
Benn tries to calm Luffy down by telling him that Shanks doesn’t mean to tease. Cue more Shanks trolling. Honestly, it’s no wonder Benn went grey.
-
And here’s Makino. She’s like a big sister/motherly figure to Luffy at this point in time. And she’s an absolute sweetie. Also, I want her skirt.
-
I think she may have been the first one to believe in Luffy’s dream of becoming a pirate, seeing as she lets him eat there for free and tells him she’ll wait until he finds treasure to pay her back. So sweet.
-
Aw, cute bonding moment with Shanks. You can tell that they’re both fond of each other, really. Luffy decides he’ll learn to swim before Shanks leaves the island for good. I’m sure he’ll be able to do it if he puts his heart and mind into it. Right? It’s not like anything could go wrong…
-
Enter some jerk named Higura, whose sole purpose is to ruin everyone’s fun. He looks like a weasel and starts ordering sake for he and his bandit mates. Pity Shanks’ crew drank it all, eh?
-
But Shanks, being the nice guy that he is, offers his own drink to Higura… who proceeds to break it over Shanks’ head. Now that wasn’t very nice! And look at the mess you made all over the place!
-
Enter maid!Shanks. Oh noes, the floor’s dirty!
-
Higura, put that away, no-one wants to see your eensy, weensy, teeny, tiny, itty, bitty… Wanted Poster. Aw, he’s worth a whole 8,000,000 Belli. Isn’t that cute? He thinks he’s people!
-
And Shanks can’t hear him over his Maid-Mode. He’s too busy cleaning up the floor to notice. I want a maid like that~
-
Well, that wasn’t very nice, Higura! What did that poor food and counter top ever do to you? Well, either they annoyed him somehow or he’s really bad at using a sword. He missed Shanks by more than a foot!
-
Well, at least he’s gone now. I guess it’s for the best. If he heard the racket Shanks and crew are causing after his leaving he’d probably take offence and cut some more furniture up in retaliation.
-
As it is, Shanks and friends are laughing it up big time. I don’t really get the joke and it seems neither does Luffy. I’m sure it had a heck of a punch-line though.
-
It takes a moment for Shanks to disengage maid-mode and by then Luffy’s had his say and stalking out. He don’t want nothin’ to do with people who ain’t serious. Luffy sure was different as a kid, wasn’t he?
-
Oh dear. Shanks grabs Luffy’s arm to stop him from just leaving and it suddenly stretches. Holy shock-face, Beckman!
-
And Luffy ate a devil fruit. You could see him chomping on it earlier, just before Higura showed up. But yes, cue rubber powers~
-
No, Luffy, that wasn’t dessert. And now you will never be able to learn how to swim. Looks like Shanks won’t be taking you with him next time. :(
-
Another day, another fish, another lecture off the mayor for being stupid and hanging out with pirates. Oh well, life can’t always give you what you want.
-
Aw, Luffy is too cute. And still mad at Shanks for not fighting back against Higura.
-
Suddenly, bandits! Oh no! Hide the furniture! Oh, looks like they just want to get drunk. Okay then. You can come out now, cupboard, they won’t hurt you.
-
Oh dear. Luffy, you need to learn to keep your mouth closed and not pick a fight with people. Just because Shanks doesn’t, well, shank you when you mouth back to him doesn’t mean no-one else will.
-
And boy, is Makino a cutie with her scarf missing!
-
Higura think he’ll sell Luffy to a circus, eh? Well, jokes on him! Luffy’d eat them out of all their income before the first act! XD
-
Luffy, now, put that stick down. You don’t wanna get hu- too late. And it seems Higura made fun of Shanks. Aw, Luffy’s such a good friend, even when he’s made at Shanks he still sticks up for him. :D
-
And the mayor pops in, offering a ransom for Luffy’s life. He’s a good man, but it looks like Higura doesn’t want money. Welp, it was worth a try.
-
And Luffy calls him a baboon. Get a clue, Luffy! You don’t make the person who wants to kill you even angrier by calling them names!
-
Enter Shanks! Who still takes the time to troll Luffy, even when he’s being stomped on. Stay classy, Shanks~
-
Oh dear, now Shanks is being held at gun point. Funny, he doesn’t look too worried about that.
-
Never mind, Lucky Roux took care of it.
-
The bandits call Roux out for shooting their guy, but get scolded by the resident genius, Benn. “It’s not like we’re saints or anything.” Yes, indeed, Benn~ You’re pirates!
-
Oooh, angry Shanks is angry~ Don’t mess with his buddies, man, or you’ll get - dare I say it? - shanked!
-
Trash talk commences and now it’s fight time! Oh, nice, Benn wants to show everyone how it’s done. And from the looks of it he wields a rifle. Is he a good shot?
-
Forget the rifle, it’s the cigarette you have to look out for!
-
And he wields that thing like a club. Stay awesome, Benn!
-
Higura is a bit dumbfounded. I don’t blame him. His whole group was taken out by one guy with a cigarette.
-
SMOKE BOMB!
-
Damn them tricksy bandits and their technology! When the smoke clears Higura is missing.
-
Wait a second… there’s someone else missing here. Hm… AH! LUFFY!!!
-
While Shanks panics, Higura has Luffy on a boat. I’m wondering how he got out there so fast. He must be a super rower! Maybe he should join the Olympics?
-
Oh, so he knows about Devil Fruit users being unable to swim? Well, I guess that’s the end of your journey, Luffy. No Deus Ex Machina to help you out of this one.
-
Boat punt!
-
As the water rises up to meet him, Luffy recalls just how he got into this predicament. Think he’ll learn to keep his mouth shut from now on? What are the chances, Hawkins? Less than 16%? Yeah, thought so.
-
Oh… Remember what I said about Deus Ex Machina? Yeah…
-
Well, looks like cabinetry, bench-tops and other furniture are safe from Higura’s never-ending discrimination and wrath.
-
But wait! Luffy can’t swim! How is it that he hasn’t sunk already?
-
And now Mr. Machina is headed to swallow our poor hero! Who will save the lad? Who could possibly appear at the last second to protect him?
-
SHAAAANKSS~<3
-
Man, that is one intense look… or is it? Hm~ Hm~ Hm~ Not saying nothing~
-
Mr. Machina runs off like a scared little puppy; if puppies were scaly, bigger than a house and had teeth the size of men.
-
Dawww, Luffy, no need to cry. You’re safe now! Shanks must be an awesome swimmer to get there so fast, though.
-
Oh… well, uh… No more competitive freestyle for Shanks. >.<; And thus his dream of being freestyle champion of the world ended because of one silly brat who couldn’t keep his mouth shut. Nice one Luffy.
-
Aw, and Shanks comforts him. “It’s only an arm. As long as you’re alright…” So sweet <3
-
Time passes and suddenly it’s the last day that Shanks will be in port. Seems both he and Luffy have come to an understanding. Luffy won’t be going with Shanks and his crew, but he’s got a new dream instead. To gather his own crew and be a better pirate than Shanks by becoming the King of the Pirates!
-
“I will be the King of the Pirates!!!” There it is, folks; the first declaration of a dream! The instant this manga truly begins. :D
-
Well, Shanks isn’t trolling this time, so he must be serious. So serious, in fact, that he gives Luffy his hat to keep until they meet again. Dawww~
-
Aw, and the crew sails off into the sunset, leaving a crying Luffy behind with naught but an old straw hat and a promise to meet once more when Luffy is stronger and has an amazing crew.
-
And that was the- oh wait, there’s more! Ten years have passed and Luffy is having a send-off of his own.
-
What’s a send-off party without an appearance of the local Mr. Machina? Luffy decides to show off a few party favours but I don’t think Mr. Machina likes them that much.
-
Woo~ he’s down for the count, and I don’t think he’ll be bothering Luffy again.
-
So Luffy, tell us your plans. Just what is your first step in taking One Piece, hm? Find at least 10 people to join your crew and get a flag. Sounds good to me! Let’s hope he’s up to it!
Vote Shanks!
Without him there would be no hat, Luffy or dream.

Shanks
He also inspired Luffy to strive to become the the Pirate King

@Venomous:
And now for your entertainment, a battle of wits
[hide]
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g113/Saccitysaleen/shankswits.jpgShanks: here we are at an impass
Magellan: Im afraid so, i cant compete with you haki wise, and your no match for my poisons.
Shanks: You're that Venomous?
Magellan: Let me put it this way: have you ever heard of Coco,
Poison Ivy, The black mamba?Shanks: Yes.
Magellan: Weaklings
Shanks: Really. [pause] In that case, I challenge you to a battle of wits.
Magellan: For the AP Crown? < Shanks nods > To the death? < Shanks nods > I accept.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g113/Saccitysaleen/magellanwits.jpg
Shanks: Good. Then pour the wine.
Shanks pulls out a small vial, and uncorks it
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g113/Saccitysaleen/poison-273x400.jpg
Inhale this, but do not touch.
Magellan: I smell nothing.
Shanks: What you do not smell is called Iocane powder. It is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is among the more deadly poisons known to man.
Magellan: Hmmmm.
Shanks: turns away from Magellan with the goblets, and pours the poison in. Goblets replaced on the table, one in front of each.
All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right…and who is dead.Magellan: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Shanks: You've made your decision then?
Magellan: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Sabaody, as everyone knows, and Sabaody is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
Shanks: Truly, you have a dizzying knowledge of poisons.
Magellan: WAIT TILL I GET GOING! Where was I?
Shanks: Australia.
Magellan: Yes, Sabaody. And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Shanks: You're just stalling now.
Magellan: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten my Jailer Beasts, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Chief Jailer, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Shanks: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g113/Saccitysaleen/tumblr_lz15fqRZv41qixttfo1_500.gif
Magellan: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!
Shanks: Then make your choice.
Magellan: I will, and I choose– What in the world can that be?
Magellan gestures up and away from the table
Shanks: Shanks looks What? Where? I don't see anything.
Magellan: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. No matter.
Magellan smirks
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g113/Saccitysaleen/magellan-1.jpg
Shanks: What's so funny?
Magellan: I'll tell you in a minute. First, let's drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours.
*they drink *
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g113/Saccitysaleen/OnePiece-Shanks-Drink.jpg
Shanks: You guessed wrong.
Magellan: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I put poison in both glasses when your back was turned!But what difference does it make im imune Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in the grand line, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Warden when death is on the line!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! Ha ha ha–

I have to say that Snaks has picked up some slack in the last few hours. The gap used to be bigger. So while its still looks like Magellen can win(I'll admit that…for now), its not a sure deal. We have over 12 hours to stil vote. There has been upsets like that before
