Fourth Round Discussion Thread

[Sâuza]

People don't like Whitebeard, it's sad ;_;

[Fire-Fist]

@Sâuza:

People don't like Whitebeard, it's sad ;_;

stats thread would disagree with you

[Sâuza]

But he's only facing easy opponents, otherwise he'd have had some tough matches.

[KzTxL7]

Gol D. Roger (55%~50%) vs Commodore Smoker (45%~50%)

Red Hair Shanks (55%~50%) vs Monkey D. Luffy (45%~50%)

Tony Tony Chopper (30~35%) vs Silvers Rayleigh (65%~70%)

Monkey D. Garp (65~70%) vs Dr. Hiruluk (30%~35%)

Whitebeard (~80%) vs Norland Montblanc (~20%)

Monkey D. Dragon (40%) vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei (60%)

Usopp vs Nico Robin - Undecided Match.

Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma - Undecided Match.

Percentages are vote estimates that I'll think they'll get.

[piratemarimo]

I love how Makino got such a high percentage relative to Whitebeard's other matches.

[Porinero]

Roger vs Smoker
Shanks vs Luffy
Chopper vs Rayleigh
Garp vs Hiriluk
Whitebeard vs Norland
Dragon vs Bon Kurei
Usopp vs Robin
Mihawk vs Kuma

[Don Quichotte De Flamingo]

Cool matches..Just WB has the easiest opponent^^
Well, good the rest seems to be close matches.

[Nia]

Shanks vs Luffy?
Hahaha, nice, I think that was on a lot of people’s “wishlist” XD
Ugh, too bad Luffy will most likely lose this one. I could be mistaken, but Shanks has a lot of fans and the Anti-Luffy-Front plays into it, too. Aw, I wanted him to go down against Bon-chan. Speaking of him…
Dragon vs Bon-chan. Yessir, get rid of that darn Dragon for us, Bon~! Don’t you dare lose against him!

My votes will probably be like this:
1.Roger vs Smoker
2. Shanks vs Luffy
3. Chopper vs Rayleigh
4. Garp vs Hiriluk
5. Whitebeard vs Norland (since I just reread that flashback recently and Norland needs the votes.)
6. Dragon vs Bon Kurei
7. Usopp vs Robin(will be mostly a campaign thing for me)
8. Mihawk vs Kuma (anyone > Kuma, easily.)

[Hekti]

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei
Usopp vs Nico Robin
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma

I totally can see most Strawhats get out this round (obviously just the one from Uso/Robin match remains)

Nice pairings indeed!

[IceBorg]

More people should vote for Roger.

[Fire-Fist]

@Sâuza:

But he's only facing easy opponents, otherwise he'd have had some tough matches.

Do not click me

have faith :)

[Cyan D. Funk]

Bon-chan shall avenge God.

And Chopper's finally out.

[Chrissie]

My votes:

1. Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker
2. Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy -Luffy must fall like his First mate did. HE MUST-
3. Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh -might campaign-
4. Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk - =U -
5. Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc -Ciao Norland =U Time to support Pops-
6. Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei -Bon-chan has this in the bag. So I'm gonna vote Dragon for the last time this year… I'll wait till the end of the match to vote tho-
7. Usopp vs Nico Robin -My campaign match.-
8. Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma ….thinks Dunno! Will see~

[Usopp with a Pushpop]

This post is deleted!

[MuffinPirate]

I'm going to try my hand at predicting. crosses fingers and hopes she is right

! Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker (Marines all the way. Atleast the cool ones anyway)
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy (Dx I'm got a feeling this will be like Mihawk VS Zoro fight last round))
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei
Usopp vs Nico Robin
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma

[Dervish]

Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei

So, Bon-chan will be the one to deliver God's Judgment to that ol' Dragon, eh? Good, good.

As for the rest, Rayleigh, Robin, and Whitebeard have my vote for sure. The other matches remain undecided…although Shanks v. Luffy should be magic.

[Gokuyuske]

Norland is going to get slaughtered…

And Usopp's going up against another crewmate!?

[NicoNico28]

@Gokuyuske:

And Usopp's going up against another crewmate!?

And oddly the other female of the crew,hopefully Robin will kick Usopp out!

[jackanapes]

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei
Usopp vs Nico Robin
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma

Unlike last round, none of these are too tough for me. I guess the hardest was Usopp against Nico Robin, but I lean towards Usopp.

[Insider2000]

I still can't believe Zoro is out now. Oh well.

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker - Tough…Roger. I'm not the biggest fan of Smoker.
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy - I'm going to stay silent on this one. If I say Luffy, everyone will jump me.
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh - Chopper. I don't care what anyone thinks in terms of this one. Though Rayleigh is awesome.
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk - Hirluluk. Without a doubt.
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc - Whitebeard.
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei - I want Bon to win this tournament.
Usopp vs Nico Robin - Robin. Just love her.
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma - Kuma.

[Mokenda_mint]

Vote for Shanks everyone! Don't let Luffy get 2 years in a row!

[creeperqueen]

Okay, so this is how I'm going to vote

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker
Even I like Smoker a little bit more than Roger I will most likely give the vote to the Pirate king since I want to see Roger vs. Whitebeard match in the future.
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy
I'm not a huge fan of Shanks but since I think Luffy has won enough (plus he eliminated both Ace and Franky in earlier rounds X( ) and I want the winner of the tournament to be a non-strawhat I guess I have no choice but to go with red hair here.

Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh
Even though Chopper is cute and all I go with Ray here. He's one of the most epic characters in the series and he was a member of Roger's crew so I'm definitely going with him.

Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk
Hiruluk was always one of my favourite flashback characters but I just cant vote him when the other option is Garp. Garp is the second most epic old man of the series, he was "friends" with Roger and even if he is worlds worst grandpa (and I dont think he was that good of a father to Dragon) he deeply cares his family. Also, we need a marine to the next round - Smoker probably has no chances agains pirate king
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc
Hmm… another epic old man versus a flashback character I never learned to like? Even I always thought SH's will always be the coolest crew I must say the Whitebeard pirates are almost equal to them IMO. The war ark made me love the whole crew and especially Papabeard.

Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei
Okama's FTW! He and Magellan together made ID-arc worth watching. Bon Kurei sacrificed himself to help Luffy, he has shown what the true frienship is. Even I like Dragon he's not been around so much yet - he'll definitely be a important character in the future but for now I'm not going to vote him over Bon-chan.

Usopp vs Nico Robin
Another SH's game is over, and I love it. Usually it would be easy to pick which one to vote but now I'm not sure. I like Usopp more but Robin is only woman left so… I really dont know how to vote, I guess it's up to campaings

Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma
The latest chapter made my respect towards Mihawk raise enough to guarantee I give my vote for him instead of Kuma.

[MANUELF]

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei Usopp vs Nico Robin
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma

Here are my predictions

[Outerspec]

Usopp is pitted against another SH member!

@MikeyDPirate:

If Usopp wins against Robin then can we call him the ladykiller since this be the second female StrawHat he takes out of this tournament?

QFT!!! Let's make it happen!

My predictions:

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker (Do it!)
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy (In honor of your fallen first mate)
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc (I'm going with Whitebeard all the way to the end)
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei (Hard choice but I think Bon Clay has it)
Usopp vs Nico Robin (This will be fun)
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma

[Sky]

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker
Only because Smoker is awesome and I wouldn't want an obvious leader as the winner of the tournament
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy'
Hard desicion but Shanks all the way baby
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh
Sorry Chopper but I have to campaign against you.
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk
The reason is pretty obvious…
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc
Norland was great and all but I seriously can't campaign against Whitebeard.
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei
Because I like him, ok????????
Usopp vs Nico Robin
Robin is Robin and that's all I have to say on the subject.
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma
Same as Robin

[Lucky777]

Here's who I'm voting for! >:D

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei
Usopp vs Nico Robin
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma

Bam! I don't have to give reasons do I? D:!!

[MuffinPirate]

@Lucky777:

Bam! I don't have to give reasons do I? D:!!

Nah. You don't have too. It is just something fun to add in if you want too. :D

[trappedolphin]

i can't vote :( but i might as well put my predictions.

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker
Red Hair Shanksvs Monkey D. Luffy –> oh crubbies this is hard. there's a lot of anti-SH sentiments, but you never know what will really happen when the polls come out. :ninja:

Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh –> never really liked Chopper. cuteness has no place on a pirate ship.
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk –> gah, poor Hiruluk. i know Garp will bulldoze this match, but i hope the gap won't be too big.
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc –> WB's obviously gonna win - and lazy justly so, but Norland is really underrated here.

Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei –> TRUE FRIENDSHIP.

Usopp vs Nico Robin
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma

@robbybedfart:

Nah. I'll vote Norland but Whitebeard is going to sweep that round, a ton of people haven't even read the flashback Norland appears in due to where it falls during Skypeia, and he only narrowly got this far against BEPO.

Its going to be a huge slaughter and its not really worth the effort. Makino I was pretty much obligated to do after the bet in round 1.

(Well, Norland can't beat Whitebeard. Unless everyone actually keeps pace with the re-read and reads his flashback the day of the match.)

EVERYONE, GO READ THE NORLAND FLASHBACK NAO!!!

[Sâuza]

Skypiea is lame, it's all about exploring and stuff, like Dora. Don't read it guys :ninja:

It's flashback is lamer, all Norland and Calgara has done was crying.

I tell you don't read it, vote Whitebeard instead :ninja:

[IceBorg]

All the people who will vote Roger are awesome and I give my love.

[piratemarimo]

What will you do if I don't? :ninja:

I know how awesome Norland is. His problem is I know how awesome Whitebeard is too.

yes, but Whitebeard doesn't need your vote.

truth be told, i don't really know who to support. WB's a lot easier to campaign for, but who wants easier? :ninja:

[piratemarimo]

Oh boy, I'm asking for trouble aren't I? :ninja:

This reminds me… I didn't get a chance to say it in the last discussion thread, but you were right. that picture of Roger with the dress IS the best image of him.

[MoonNeko]

oh man these line-ups are FANTASTIC! Only TWO Strawhats to advance to the next round, I am soo so psyched xD It's starting to look better and better that the Strawhats are GOING DOWN !!! FUCK YESSSS!!!! Hell, Luffy can still take it all, but at least he has less of a chance of facing a fellow Strawhat now :D BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHH

who I will be voting for :

Gol D. Roger vs Commodore Smoker - I'm not biased or anything.. FFFF
Red Hair Shanks vs Monkey D. Luffy - This might be it for Luffy..though I doubt it if Luffy loving AP forums members have anything to do about it
Tony Tony Chopper vs Silvers Rayleigh - God please..hopefully Rayleigh can OBLITERATE the damn mascot
Monkey D. Garp vs Dr. Hiruluk - one of the EASIEST choices soo far
Whitebeard vs Norland Montblanc - HANDS DOWN easiest choice
Monkey D. Dragon vs Mr. 2 Bon Kurei - Hopefully Bon-chan can pull through!!
Usopp vs Nico Robin - Not voting, don't care if either one makes it
Dracule Mihawk vs Bartholomew Kuma - I'm for either one, but chances are Mihawk will prevail :3

[Kitsune Inferno]

FUCK YES! Dragon and Noland are out. Robin vs. Usopp will be fun. Let's go Robin! Voting Hiruluk over Garp. Shanks MAY get my vote if you can convince me Luffy needs to go.

Bye Chopper :( Papabeard gets an easy match… Mihawk and Kuma is boring at this point, same with Smoker and Roger.

[Robo Gorilla]

Luffy doesn't have time to be partaking in shenanigans, he needs to be training with Rayleigh. Do him a favor and let him go, vote Shanks.

[IceBorg]

Will you vote Roger?

[Kitsune Inferno]

You guys do realize we could have had Crocodile vs. Eneru right now, don't you? WHY ARLONG PARK!?

Nami vs. Robin would have been magically delicious.

@PenisBorg: What shall you be bringing to the table, my Icy friend?

@piratemarimo: And why are you trying to make Noland beat Makino?

Well the M-word Raylegh would vote for him.

And Roger is the centre of all One Piece:

!

[Kitsune Inferno]

Vote for Robin if I vote Roger, yes?

I'll be frank, Smoker's one of my favorites.
