I'm back and still no Nia. And no campaigns aside from well deserved praise.
Step up your game, folks.
Those of you who aren't involved in internal afairs, vote Monet!

And for the love of god, please don't make me break a tie. Thank you!
I've made over 100 Toris so… Easy vote.
Make your choice! (And please, be careful with your picks, we can't do it for third time. Only unless there is a tie):ninja:
I actually kinda like Monet, would've voted for her against many opponents., buuuut…
@Galaxy:
After Nami vs. Hattori last year, there's no way I'm voting against Hattori.
I'm back and still no Nia.
Well, Nia is from Germany and right now it's just a little over 4 a.m. here, so that might be the case.
Hattori has his own stickied art section with hundreds of lovingly made images. http://forums.arlongpark.net/showthread.php?t=33436
Monet has hundreds of posts in the Next Nakama thread.
Vote Hattori.
@RobbyBevard:
Monet has hundreds of posts in the Next Nakama thread.
So does any female character (and Jinbe). Your point?

Wow, its almost 6 hours earlier now, than I thought it is. Time sure doesn't fly when you aren't checking.
…
Vote Monet!
(Shame I don't have a model this year)
Probably won't vote this round.
Easy choice. I don't really care for Monet, and while I admire her supporters for the dedication and creativity in their campaigns [like with Law], I'll admit I'm jaded by all those MONET 4 NAKAMA posts. But there's no denying Nia turned a simple bird into a forum superstar. Hattori it is!
ANTA BAKA! Monet-Sama is awesome and she ZETTAI WILL BE NEXT NAKAMA! Mirai ni Ikou Minna~san!
! Ugh. I fucking hate weaboos. And Monet is as lame a character as they come.
God is on Hattoris side

Yahahahahaha!

Warp Predator's one of my favorite campaigners on here. So is Nia, but Warp's been around more than Nia and I'm not terribly fond of Hattori much these days.
Looks like I'm the only staffer in Contrarian Land. Yay!

While the whole hattori obsession on this site is amusing, I'm never gonna betray harpy waifu
Decided to go with Monet.
Animal solidarity!!
Aw, if only Franky and Usopp couldve been matched up with these birds instead of each other

Voting for Monet! The nakama theories around her were stupid, but not all of us liked her because of them or because she had boobs. Her design was awesome but she was also sly, sarcastic, flirty, yet loyal to her master, and overall great character! Maybe she would be more popular without those nakama theories but then again, she probably wouldn't have had them in the first place had she been blander.
Of course she would've had but still… :ninja:
Voted Hattori for Nia, like I even had a choice
Ugh. I fucking hate weaboos. And Monet is as lame a character as they come.
Hmmm, I thought Monet was pretty interesting, personally. Not mind-blowingly so, but still interesting. She was a character who kept her cool even up against the strongest of opponents (Luffy) even though she was pretty much at a disadvantage. And she moved in the arc from making the reader think she was only doing her job in fear of death, in a Baroque Works-style agent role, to making the reader realise she was ultra loyal to Doflamingo, to the point she'd gone to the place where she could blow up the whole place before Doflamingo had even asked her to. Oh, and her dying thoughts perfected that impression.
Vote for Monet if you dislike freezing to death :ninja:
Definitely Hattori. Never liked Monet, her character isn't anything special, the only reason people liked her were "boobs" and "next nakamaaaaa!!!"…

What the hell is up with this mentality?

Explain to me what she's got, purely from the story, I challenge you :P
How about we don't go down that road, Juvar, and keep it civil instead? Generalizing the reasons as to why a character is liked like that is just low and something a fun match shouldn't have.

Plost twist: Smoker's heart is actually Monet's heart, joke's on Caesar Clown!

I wasn't going down any road, just stating one reason for me and was going to leave it at that.

Yeah, that was Law's doing…

That is nothing but downplaying her character based on the words of a few delusional fans, deliberately ignoring those people who enjoyed Monet as a charming villain with an unwavering loyalty to her master.

Right. Apologies for that, then, but get off your high horse, old friend, will ya? Cheers.
Voting for the next nakama :ninja:
Hattori hands down

See, that sounds better ;)
I personally have to say though that I never had the impression she was "only doing her job in fear of death", to me, she always appeared to be a villain. Which is a good thing in itself - I guess I just got fed up with people (and I'm not saying it was everyone) who desperately made theories to somehow make her appear less evil, and be redeemable. Which was never the case. And it annoyed me how those certain people kept saying that she might just do all these things because otherwise she might get killed et cetera, while to me it was plain and simple that she was simply evil. This isn't Fairy Tail - just because a character has boobs, that doesn't mean they can't be evil.
Edit: In summary, I just never had the experience of her motives being unclear or changing throughout the arc, therefore I did not find her as appealing.
Just don't let a pigeon win. Thanks.

Ah I see. Just to be clear, I didn't really mean that she was a 'goodie' who was being threatened into doing something bad (as Violet is) but someone more like Mr 3? Like she's in herself a villain, but she was less motivated by loyalty than fear of reprisal (more "Oh, if I screw up I'm dead" than "Oh, if I screw up, I'll let him down!"). Of course, it turned out to be different.
Monet wasn't an outstandingly awesome character, so it's unsurprising people weren't very impressed by her. It's kind of unfortunate that a lot of people feel that way mainly because of the way certain people wereposting about her.
You know, her motives and everything she did after fight with Luffy is what I actually dislike in Monet.
She was a complete moron in Bisquit Room:
And then she failed to make a sacrifice, aibeit those final words were touching.
So: I like her somewhat different design and color, her powers, and tiny bit of characterization at the end.
I dislike: stupidity in biscuit room and stupidity in new crewmate thread (which I don't remember I ever posted in. Not about Monet anyway).
We all know what's in those candies, so…
That's the spirit! I can't believe Hattori is losing so early on… Where's Nia?!
Did you know Hattori had a role in Animaniacs?
Well, technically three.
Before getting into crime Monet had a simpler life

Fear and Loathing in Punk Hazard, maybe.
