Sanji winning would mean Jinbe lost to the CHAMPION 3 years in a row. I can live with that.
So Jinbe is Ash Ketchum?

I love how in-character that is for Jinbe too. "NO–Leave me! You must be the one who becomes the AP Tournament champion!"
xD Bahahaha that's great
Carrot all the way!!! How can you say no to this:
So Jinbe is Ash Ketchum?
Wow, this is accurate. Can the guys doing the Pokemon anime give the guy a break? They just won't let him win the championship.

Because being "the very best" equals not going to the next region. But this time this shit means nothing because Alola doesn't have a Pokemon League.
So Jinbe is Ash Ketchum?
Didn't Ash win some sort of "inofficial" tournament before? Where that Lapras riding artist guy replaced Brock as the annoying sidekick?
If that's the case then we need a special tournament for Jinbe as well. Just him battling some losers. Like Lucci.
Anyway!
Sanji is winning it all before Zoro. Who would have thought?

Ash won the Orange Island League in what was basically a filler season. And that guy you're thinking of is Tracy.
Ouuch, beating Carrot by double her votes now :o

Still about 15 votes short of that… assuming there's 15 people still around who haven't voted and would go Sanji.
Went with Sanji. Initially wanted to vote for Carrot but the sheer hilarity of Jinbei losing to a champion 3 times in a row make me vote for Sanji.

It's close to double*
I've finally made my decision.
! Oops, wrong pic.
!
! >! There we go.:ninja:
!
! On the bright side, at least Jinbei didn't lose to a dragon meme.
The year was 2005. Sanji was teh shit. He had everything to win the tournament, but following a tie against Franky, the coin flipping kicked him out. Franky went on to become the champion.
Skip to the next tournament in 2009, but it still feels like yesterday. After defeating Franky in a memorable rematch of great campaigns, Sanji seemed to be the favorite again, but getting close to the big final, lost to Buggy (who was the most hypable character at that point) by like 3 votes, after almost 600 votes and 80 pages of tireless discussions and dramatic back-and-forths that touched pretty much every major character in the series in some way.
With the One Piece cast of characters getting insanely bigger every year, new favorites popping up all the time and with the crew - IMO - often overlooked ever since the separation in Sabaody, we had to wonder - would Sanji's time ever come? Surprise, it would come to "Vinsmoke" Sanji, in the 'year of Sanji", where we're getting a new perspective of the character, his complete backstory and going deeper into his mind. I'm sure that, including his many, many fans, everyone will see Sanji in a very different light after this arc, as it's already happening.
In the end..not gonna lie, it's fun seeing Sanji going to the championship like this, trouncing the competition every match. I can't remember another champion who took the crown so easily! It was like beating Jerry.
So, let's keep honoring the leader of the Curlyhat crew and one of the most iconic characters in this masterpiece series. Even greater things are definitely to come for him.
I'm sorry Carrot ; you're adorable, badass, and named after something I like to eat.
But I have always loved Sanji since I saw him first all those episodes/chapters ago with his dorky attitude.
For personal reasons I really love bunnies.
But I also really enjoy carrots, because they have a lot of vitamins and stuff which make you super strong and buff.
But kudos to the Sanji campaign, you guys make me excited to see more from him this year = :3

LOL good times hahahaha
thanks for reminding me of this epic chapter of AP history
Sanji finally getting the recognition he deserves, beautiful.
It warms my heart that Sanji is most likely taking home a prize that that goddamn marimo has never won.
Ouch
I don't even like Carrot… but here's a pity vote.
C'mon, six more hours, let's get Carrot to >100 and Sanji to >150 gaiz
And all Sanji had to do was not fight Zoro mano-a-mano.
I remember campaigning for Sanji in that. Good times~
The Year of Sanji!
If you have a friend, or your current boyfriend/girlfriend
Who do a lot of good things to you
Treat you
!
Giving you compliance
!
Make a lot of effort for you
!
Don't take them for granted.
You never know when they can't be by your side anymore
And you could only remember their kindness
!
Because they actually just that much precious and that much rare
!
A person when you tell about him/her to the other, you say it with a big smile cheek to cheek.
!
Cause friend like them should be treasured.
Say thanks to them !
! Thank you, Sanji!

and you can also say thanks by voting him.
:)
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
And Carrot also want to say something
Let's make Carrot happy :)!

I don't think I have enough time to campaign, but I feel so pleased.
Sanji's finally being acknowledged, yay <3
The way of sword is to defeat or taking away the life from other

And make it to give live instead, by cooking

Even when you are born in the darkest place, you still can choose to be the light. !!!!!
Choose Nji!!!
I gave my vote to Sanji, as Carrot is not really that interesting to me. Now, if Nami won the battle against Carrot, I would have voted for her instead of Sanji.
When your Basketball Jersey eventually has the same design with your Vote

I realize eventually they are not Cyborg 009 or Power Rangers.
They're just a Basketball Team.
I was entirely too afraid that Sanji might lose. This is special for me.
Year of Sanji!!!
Voted for Sanji, what can I do ? I love happy endings.
This will be funny.
@Kaido:
Wrong pic
Do it correctly
Oh, uh, oops. I thought this was ending tonight.
Oh, well. I wasn't sure who to vote anyway.
Didn't have time to vote but I'm happy Sanji won.
This years tournament was awful.
This years tournament was awful.
Even with sorta low participation, having Sanji win made this the best tournament of them all!!
Come on Prince aka Sanji!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could vote you'd have mine!

Sanji already won the poll.
Why do you think that?
Because it was a clear biased win for Sanji to win due to his relevance in the story currently. Also, the only other contenders people voted for were just memes and not characters who should have gone further. Having one of the main Straw Hats win just feels like a worthless victory. Yeah we all love them but, theirs tons of other minor characters who could have shared the spotlight.
darn the character that everyone wanted to win… won? what a failure of the democratic system
Do we have an ending ceremony or what?
When's the Closing Ceremony?
The winning candidate seems to be busy with some sort of wedding or something, waiting on his availability I presume

Sanji has a good amount of fans here. He also had a couple close bouts but the matchups were random and the characters were nominated by members. He hadn't been fully relevant to the story in a while so he had a bit more umph to back him. It's not fully surprising he did so well. And some of the contestants have already won at some point.
But Sanji didn't technically win 1st place it was Matchvise if that makes you feel better.
hopefully next year someone will be able to challenge Machvise's complete dominance of the tournament
perhaps an old round hero will rise up again to challenge the fiend!
I'm not a huge fan of Sanji, but he did deserve to win this year. He'll probably never be this relevant again.
And it means next year there's one less Strawhat people want to win.
Yup, look at it this way; People tend to avoid voting for a previous tournament winner. Only Strawhats left to win tournaments now are Nami, Zoro, Brook and Chopper(super unlikely Chopper will win; tarred with cutesy mascot character brush for life)…
...and maybe Jinbei when he joins if he doesn't win it before he joins ala Franky style.
Hooray for Sanji! :happy:
I am happy, he deserved the victory this year
