Who's Motzel?!
Senor Pink is surprisingly popular.
First Round Match #7
-
-
Yeah baby Bellamy-sama's bar is a climbin'
vote for Bellamy the Hyena!
-
Lucci and Kaku.
Senor pink has nothing more than meme campaigns as far as I've seen, while Lucci actually has some more effort going for him than "add two words to a picture of a guy".
I'm pretty sure that
- you're taking this too seriously
- He's getting votes because of his manga appearances. Like, he was second before anything about him was even posted.
Fight for Lucci as much as you want, but criticize other characters and their voters and you start entering the dark side.

Welcome back to…
HATTORI'S INDEPENDENT REPORT
**Ahem. Jabra has left to prepare for the next round of this fine tournament, so I will now continue in my attempts at getting more votes for Rob Lucci.
I ask you to consider his many talents and skills, as I presented in the second post of my campaign. I believe he can fully take on the responsibility of winning."YOYOI!"
"I…...AGREE...HATTORI...!!"
K-Kumadori!?"HOWEVER…...IF LUCCI...DOES...NOT......PASS...THIS...ROUND.........I WILL DO IT...!!"
"I…WILL...TAKE......RESPON...SIBILITY...FOR...HIM......AND JOIN...MY...DEAR...MOTHER...IN HEAVEN.........!!"…You really don't have to do that. Coo-coo.
Well, my campaign is nearing its close. Until my final post, please at least contemplate voting Rob Lucci!**
-
Vote Oto! Because family matters! And stuff!
!
! (Also Scarlet)
! As for my own votes:
-Bian & Kabu: I like their designs and their fruits.
-Foxy: Severely under-appreciated character and severely under-appreciated arc.
-Otohime & Neptune: Because obviously.
-Señor Pink: Amusing character and he's pretty securely got 2nd place so no point in not voting for him.Would also vote Pekoms and Tamago but they're too close. Sorry, Wonderlandians.
-
A friendly reminder.
-
Otohime is.
-
come on Pekoms & Tamago!

HATTORI'S INDEPENDENT REPORT
**Hello, everyone. Kumadori has departed…although, thankfully, not to join his mother...and with that my campaign has reached its final post.
To commemorate this, I will be speaking to Rob Lucci himself, coo-coo!Mr. Lucci, what sort of statement do you have to make to the voters?
"Vote for me. I'm tired of losing."…A-ahem. I see...coo...
Well, ladies and gentlemen, that brings Hattori's Independent Report to its close! I thank you for reading my posts, and hopefully for voting as well! And with that, I bid you all a good night.

1 vote for Foxy: (I loved his mini arc, power and disguises).
1 vote for Kaku: [hide][/hide]1 vote for Señor Pink: Girls love guys in diapers, and also..He can swim.
An the last vote goes to…Otohime & Neptune (Good parents FTW).

Holy shit, can i change my votes so i can vote for Lucci? I'm surprised that someone's is campaigning for him (and nicely) and i would like to give my vote to him.
Damn, i should read the threads before voting :(
-
Vote Oto! She appreciates the support.

Lucci has my vote. Nice campaigning, heart_diode!
-
Foxy. Just Foxy. Davy Back Fight remains my favourite arc in the series; 14 chapters of pure, distilled joy.

So, Hattori's campaigning is done, but mine isn't quite over yet…
First of all, I wanna thank everybody who's voted for Lucci thus far. Even though I took a look at his past results, I didn't expect him to be this close to earning a spot in the next round, so even if he doesn't make it in, I'm really impressed and proud of what's going on.
Senor pink has nothing more than meme campaigns as far as I've seen, while Lucci actually has some more effort going for him than "add two words to a picture of a guy".
I can't speak for Senor Pink's campaigns but I'm really glad my campaign earned your vote. Thank you!
I promise that if you manage to pretty much single handedly convince this forum to push Lucci through to the next round then I will vote for him and join this campaign train. Because seeing him come this close to getting out is too delicious. (Unless he faces Garp, that's the only scenario in which I can't stand by his side.)
This post pretty much had me on the edge of breaking into song like something from a Broadway musical, seriously. With this being my first campaign I was super nervous that it wouldn't turn out well or would be a fail in comparison to others'; seeing that it convinced you is just great. Thank you!
Holy shit, can i change my votes so i can vote for Lucci? I'm surprised that someone's is campaigning for him (and nicely) and i would like to give my vote to him.
And I'm basically crying over this post too, since it changed someone's mind! Thank you!
EDIT
@Huon:Lucci has my vote. Nice campaigning, heart_diode!
THANK YOU!
So yeah, thank you a hundred times to everyone, lol.
Second of all, maybe you're wondering, why am I campaigning for him at all? It's not quite just about his being the under…cat, although I tend to root for those unlikely to win anyway. Outside of that, I see Lucci as a character worth liking and cheering for, with magnetism and staying power. He's memorable, interesting, cool, smart, and in my opinion a lot more than he seems at first. (Also handsome. :ninja:) In a lot of ways, he's a great example of how Oda gives odd and fascinating little aspects to seemingly one-dimensional characters, and by doing so, fleshes them out.
Lucci is a CP9 agent, the strongest in his group; he's a talented fighter and strategist and hey, he nearly kills Luffy, who has to resort to desperate measures to beat him in a fight that still stretches on for some amount of time. He has an intriguing viewpoint on justice and how the weak should be treated, but is the man nothing but a killer? Not to me. He has a pigeon, and actually clothes the bird in little copies of his own outfits - that coat is legendary. He doesn't go after Chimney when she's following him, he doesn't torture Robin when she's near him and helpless, and he only takes out the cover story pirates because they're destructive and dangerous. He's quick to attack, but not blind with bloodlust. And Hattori, especially during Water 7, is proof to me that he's not a quickly-drawn and bland character without any real qualities outside the whole assassin thing. Even if Hattori's the only thing he cares about, the fact remains that Hattori does exist, and it shows Lucci has a life, however small, when he's not going after those deemed dangerous.
Aside from that, Lucci does have an effect on the story as a whole too. Even though Luffy defeated him, he was the first indication of just how strong the World Government could be, as well as being someone who wasn't willing to hold back and spare his enemy like Aokiji. It makes you wonder: how much more powerful are the rest of the WG, when this secret agent alone is such a challenge to the captain of the Straw Hats? Lucci also isn't useless, even though he stops having an effect on much of Enies Lobby after a while; in a way he's more effective at moving the plot along than Spandam, simply because he's more powerful and intelligent, and the man also has a great knack for dramatic effect and picking out disguises. He's the antithesis of the Straw Hats' point of view - even more so than the rest of CP9 because he's the most challenging one of the lot - and he casts their determination into relief while having plausible, if dark, motivations of his own. That's why I love him, because he's not just a villainous placeholder meant to pale in comparison to the heroes. When we see him in the cover story, shaking the hand of the doctor who saved his life and letting Spandam know that CP9 is alive and kicking, that becomes even more obvious. I think he's worth caring about even if he's not the most expressive character, or even if he doesn't have the gentlest point of view.
tl;dr, Lucci was a surprise favorite of mine, a character I really didn't expect to like. He deserves to pass this round at least - if not because he's done so poorly in the past, then because he's a strong and noteworthy character. Please vote for him!

Only Bellamy and Pink

I went for Pink, Lucci, Kid and Kaku.

For the official whipping boy Lucci sure does well… :ninja:
Also did anyone else vote Ototune because of Neptune too?
