First Ever Arlong Park Character Tournament Play-In Game.

[Ubiq]

So, there's been a lot of people complaining about the tough nature of the First Round. This is, of course, a good thing, but I thought to myself "hey, let's throw a monkey wrench into the works." Note that I didn't go with the "thought to myself 'Self, blahblahblah'" line. Seriously, who does that? Coincidentally, we didn't have a Filler Match ready for today either so there's that as well.

So instead of having two three-way matches in the First Round, we're going to steal a page from the NCAA's basketball book and have two matches to decide who makes it into the First Round to replace those matches with one on one matches instead

This is the first of those two matches.

[royal pain]

It has to be Hattori.
Sorry Gaimon.

[Nia]

YOU MONSTERS, my campaigns aren't finished!!

So, have a good laugh at this terrbile singing attempt and vote for Hattori.

[Cyber-Robin]

Two awesomely designed chars vs Flying Rat?

Obvious choice here.

Need I remind you that Usopp would vote for Hattori?

Make him proud!

[Porinero]

Hattori will do the same thing to Gaimon like he did to Banchi

[Mrs. Iceburg]

[Chrissie]

Nia rules so hardcore. And she has an adorable voice too~

I am going with the pigeon.

Stuck? Turn and pull. Turn and pull.

If you don't vote for Hattori, you are redonkulous.

[Nia]

Oh thank God, Chrissie, you're here! Everything will be ok now

[Ghosty Crabber]

Uwoooh voted Hattori because of pro campaigning and I like pigeons.

[Luffyko]

Voted for Hattori. Nia's campaigns are just too awesome!

[Nia]

I DID warn you about that writing "mistake" there, so … yeah, it was intentional.

/EDIT: A woman living there was very interested and made photos of the process.

!

[Badass SnoCone]

HATTORI!

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Vote Hattori!

Have you ever seen a cooler pigeon? NO?! Of course not! So, Vote for the 2011 OP Character Tournament Champion-to-be, Hattori!

[Juvar]

Unconditional love for Hattori.
Makes me proud

[Badass SnoCone]

@Nia:

You forgot to remind them that God would vote for Hattori, too.

You know who else supports Hattori? Swinub! Swinub would vote for Hattori!

Don't Let Swinub down! VOTE HATTORI!!

[Silverblade]

If you want to be betrayed.

If you want to be left on the ground.

If you want to die lying in your own blood.

Ask Luffy whom to vote.

[Flux]

Hattori. Because Hattori's great. And equally, no white man can carry an afro.

The Badass Motherfucker takes no nonsense from anybody :

[TräshCät]

even though I always really liked nia's support and eh .. obsession for hattori ^^ and I do appreciate her campaigns .. (great work nia) .. I somehow … found it a bit too much. yes I'm sorry .. I do have no heart. T_T can't help it ...

the hattori dancing videos alone would have been enough to make me vote the bird and I really wanted to .. but all the others were a bit too much for my liking. so I picked gaimon and sarfukel. seriously, they are awesome too! I mean come on .. gaimon is a buddy of buggy!

[Nia]

@TräshCät:

a bit too much.

Does not compute.

[TräshCät]

yeah .. I think that's it .. ^^'' the singing .. doesn't work for me.

sooo~ vote gaimon and sarfunkel! ^o^/

[Mr M]

wow , nia is doing a great job ! I am gonna vote hattori right no-

@TräshCät:

I mean come on .. gaimon is a buddy of buggy!

[qimg]http://www.citymanga.com/files/images/one_piece/47/01.jpg[/qimg]

…shit

[Nia]

@TräshCät:

yeah .. I think that's it .. ^^'' the singing .. doesn't work for me.

I know I can't sing, but I hoped the effort would be appreciated. That it would turn into an anti-campaign … shit.

Hahahaha ok this is fucking awesome Nia! Voting Hattori with a DON! How couldn't I?

[TräshCät]

@Nia:

I know I can't sing, but I hoped the effort would be appreciated. That it would turn into an anti-campaign … shit.

nana nia .. don't feel like that. I do appreciate the effort! definately. it's just that it didn't work for me. however votes show that many people feel different. so don't mind me. I just prefer to vote for the character and not for the campaigners .. sure, they may affect my choice a bit .. but that's all.

@metteminne:

wow , nia is doing a great job ! I am gonna vote hattori right no-

…shit

yes .. buggy would vote gaimon .. and you know that's the truth.

[Flux]

@Nia:

Does not compute.

Wow I watched that whole vid mesmerised by Hattoritar's synchronised dancing.

[Nia]

@Flux:

Wow I watched that whole vid mesmerised by Hattoritar's synchronised dancing.

That was, of course, intentional.
As I said, Hattori can dance to any music.

[BartArt]

Brilliant campaigning Nia! Up there with the best of them. You get my vote

[Darkstorm]

Hattori was the king of CP9.

[Nia]

@Darkstorm:

Hattori was the king of CP9.

But of course! He is the king of everything.
Sorry if I didn't make that clear by calling him "chief".

[Sonic Youth]

I voted Hattori, but I've always liked that pigeon more than Gaimon.

Of course, Magellan will take the first round, but I admire your determination.
