@Nex:
Just gonna jump in here with some predictions

1. Mihawk vs Aokiji
2. Buggy vs Brook (Tough one, but hopfully Brooks's awesomeness since the TS and Buggy's absence will help him out; also he's who I'm pulling for to win it all, though it seems doubtful)
3. Enel vs Laboon
4. Zoro vs Norland
5. Doflamingo vs Kaku
6. Kinemon vs Crocus
7. X Drake vs Awesome Octopus

Some of these are quite difficult. There are at least 6 that I think will go down to the wire.
26/32 for the first round! Not bad at all!
