[Silverblade]

Hey there. The Second Round of APCT 2016 has ended. Some actually unexpected results in there. That wouldn't be possible without your support and campaigns. And now let us start the Third Round.

However, I am still just a simple guy who does the match posters. This public announcement stuff is something I get bullied into anyway, but nobody says I can't leave it up to random strangers.

Like this one. You can do it, random stranger.

Without further ado, here are the match-ups:

[Don Quichotte De Flamingo]

Matches 1 and 14…ohh dear.

[C_uggs]

Against Sanji ? First the bride, than the groom.

This is going to be hard, but a lot of fun.

[Kubihige]

[Wintermute]

This is the worst time for the Bulletin boards to be buggy. Can we post a FAQ or tutorial in here so that members can avoid the most annoying inconveniences?

[le crystal]

So it has begun.

[Darkestsith6]

This is the tar of Sanji, he must prevail

[The Tenth Strawhat]

Match #14: Nico Robin vs. Jinbe

How could you AP?! You're tearing me apart!

[Ruin]

my heart skipped a beat when i saw robin vs. jimby… i don't think i can do it

[Femme]

Usopp vs. Nami is like pitting best friends against each other. So cruel D: so drama!

[Huon]

Match #1: Usopp vs. Nami –- (Usopp is always my #1 choice)

Match #2: Koala vs. Bon Kurei–- (Bon Kurei is one of the best characters in the series)

Match #3: Weatharia Wizards vs. Pekoms –- (The wizards are for this tournament what Iceland was for EURO 2016 (football championship))

Match #4: Magellan vs. Bellemere –- (Gotta think this one over some more)

Match #5: Franky vs. Monet –- (Franky is cool)

Match #6: Gekko Moriah vs. Vinsmoke Sanj –- (Sanji is cool too)

Match #7: Carrot vs. Straw Hat Grand Fleet –- (Come on, it's like the whole tournament is set up to make it easy for Carrot...)

Match #8: Pagaya Family vs. Tom –- (This is the worst match! I really, really, really want them both to win!)

Match #9: Monkey D. Luffy vs. Fujitora –- (Nothing wrong with Fujitora, but Luffy is Luffy)

Match #10: Ryuunosuke vs. Roronoa Zoro –- (Same thing as Franky, Sanji and Luffy)

Match #11: Buggy vs. Brook –- (Gotta think this one over some more)

Match #12: Monkey D. Garp vs. Zunisha –- (Meh, slightly boring)

Match #13: Sengoku vs. Nekomamushi –- (Also slightly boring)

Match #14: Nico Robin vs. Jinbe –- (It's my destiny to support Jinbe)

Match #15: Donquixote Rosinante vs. Kaku –- (I always liked Kaku and it's great to see he's doing so well in the tournament)

Match #16: Silvers Rayleigh vs. Galdino –- (Mr. 3 is another great character and I hope he can win this one)

[Massimo D Luffy]

Usopp vs Nami is too fucked up.
Also I'm very interested to see if Ryuunosuke has what it takes to beat Zoro's huge loyal fanbase.

[uniaka ikuzakas]

The moment when ryuuunosuke will defeat zoro will be great. sanji vs moria? easy, it's the year of sanji, he will win this competition.zoro vs ryuu will be like blackbeard vs the goat.

[Robby]

Ryuunosuke is going to win, dammit.

[BellisarioFaith]

Match #1: Usopp vs. Nami

Match #14: Nico Robin vs. Jinbe

:cwy: Why ya gotta do this to me, AP?

I'm hoping Brook can make it, but seeing how he barely won last round and everyone seems to love Buggy so much for some reason, I'm guessing he's probably out too after this round.:sad:

[Kubihige]

Match #1: Usopp vs. Nami - not sure who I'll vote for. I like them both equally. Campaigns, I guess!

Match #2: Koala vs. Bon Kurei - Koala will always be in my top 5 tournament characters. I don't think I've ever not voted for her.

Match #3: Weatharia Wizards vs. Pekoms - Kind of boring for me, but going against a group makes it an easy vote for Pekoms.

Match #4: Magellan vs. Bellemere - This is tough. Leaning Bellemere at the moment

Match #5: Franky vs. Monet - the spirit of Wicca lives on in Monet. For this match, at least.

Match #6: Gekko Moriah vs. Vinsmoke Sanji - For Captain Ugly!

Match #7: Carrot vs. Straw Hat Grand Fleet - Carrot is my champion hope, now that Croc is out.

Match #8: Pagaya Family vs. Tom - The only group that could get my vote, but not against an awesome guy like Tom.

Match #9: Monkey D. Luffy vs. Fujitora - no idea

Match #10: Ryuunosuke vs. Roronoa Zoro - leaning towards Ryuunosuke

Match #11: Buggy vs. Brook - no idea :/

Match #12: Monkey D. Garp vs. Zunisha - probably Garp, but I love supporting animals too

Match #13: Sengoku vs. Nekomamushi - Tough. Leaning Sengoku, but I expect better campaigns from the Neko camp

Match #14: Nico Robin vs. Jinbe - Maybe next year, Jinbe (who am I kidding?)

Match #15: Donquixote Rosinante vs. Kaku - Kaku is a loyal supporter of Wicca. I must return the support!

Match #16: Silvers Rayleigh vs. Galdino - campaigning for Rayleigh. This will be tough!

[Bond en Avant]

Aww…third day? I'm not ready yet...

[Tanuki]

First Big Mom and now Silvers Rayleigh? The past's Pirate King's right hand man vs. the future Pirate God's right hand man. Man-glaze vs. Man-waxing. This is going to be a tough one for Galdino…

[C_uggs]

@Kubihige:

Match #6: Gekko Moriah vs. Vinsmoke Sanji - For Captain Ugly!

Thanks for the support !! I guess this year, Moriah will be a wedding crasher.

[Ruin]

I will help Ryuunosuke climb his way to the top just like he climbed into our hearts

[genocyber]

[Dranza]

Some very exciting match ups

[Ekila]

I know who I shall be rooting for to win the tournament! Ryuunosuke! I guess, to me, it would be pretty cool if he won. Anyways, I think I may try doing campaigns for him when that time comes.

[Dranza]

Match #1: NamiMatch #2: Bon KureiMatch #3: PekomsMatch #4: BellemereMatch #5: MonetMatch #6: Vinsmoke SanjiMatch #7: CarrotMatch #8: TomMatch #9: Monkey D. LuffyMatch #10: RyuunosukeMatch #11: BuggyMatch #12: ZunishaMatch #13: NekomamushiMatch #14: Nico RobinMatch #15: Donquixote RosinanteMatch #16: GaldinoAre my predictions for round three winners. But I want Zoro and Rayleigh to go further though. I hope Sanji stomps Moriah.

[gibs]

Ryuunosuke deserves to win. He was taken from us too soon. :(

[hosemisnuba]

A throwaway gag character must win at least one of these tourneys. LETS GO RYUUNOSUKE!!!!!!!

[Atuin]

Well these are my likely choices. Some I'll need to think about and others might change depending on the campaigns [hide]Match #1: Usopp vs. Nami - Usopp will always be my number 1Match #2: Koala vs. Bon Kurei - I like Kid Koala more then adult and besides Bon sacrificed his very life for LuffyMatch #3: Weatharia Wizards vs. Pekoms - No interest in the Wizards and Pekoms is just well Pekoms. Match #4: Magellan vs. Bellemere - Bellemere was a hell of a woman. Match #5: Franky vs. Monet - I don't like Monet. There I said it. Besides Franky is SUPER Match #6: Gekko Moriah vs. Vinsmoke Sanji - Tough call but Strawhat crew winsMatch #7: Carrot vs. Straw Hat Grand Fleet - Carrot is increasingly becoming one of my favourite charactersMatch #8: Pagaya Family vs. Tom - Very hard decision this but I would go for Tom because without him there would be no One PieceMatch #9: Monkey D. Luffy vs. Fujitora - Oh Captain, my CaptainMatch #10: Ryuunosuke vs. Roronoa Zoro - He's ZoroMatch #11: Buggy vs. Brook - I like Buggy but Brook has more to give. Match #12: Monkey D. Garp vs. Zunisha - I'm still undecidedMatch #13: Sengoku vs. Nekomamushi - Neko is hilariousMatch #14: Nico Robin vs. Jinbe - Another one I'm undecided on yetMatch #15: Donquixote Rosinante vs. Kaku - Again I'm not really a fan of KakuMatch #16: Silvers Rayleigh vs. Galdino - Gotta give it to Silvers[/hide]

[joesephes]

Oh boy Robin, you got some tough competition this time around! Don't worry though, I'll still support you! :D

[SquallL]

Nami all the way. But I'm sure that Sanji will win.

[MetaMario]

Once again Nami barely snakes through. 0_0

[C_uggs]

Nah, Nami was safe, the one that is surprising me is Koala…She managed to suppress Bentham.. O_O

[Noqanky]

Pretty pleased with how close the Koala - Bon match is. I thought Koala would just get demolished immediately, but instead it's super close and it's hard to say who will win. Even if she doesn't win I'm pretty pleased with how the match turned out.

[BellisarioFaith]

Looks like Koala takes the second match. I voted for Bon-chan, but he has won before, and Koala's pretty awesome, too. Nice win, Koala!

[Noqanky]

Omg I can't believe that even happened. Didn't think Koala would make it further than this T-T

[loneassassin]

The Okamas will remember this transgression.

[C_uggs]

Koala won ? Sweet !! And it was a hard match. :wub:

Thanks AP~~

[Kaido King of the Beasts]

Mr. 2's faced some pretty tough competition hasn't he?

[The Tenth Strawhat]

I come back from Six Flags and I see Koala won. I wouldn't have been upset if Bon won though. They're both awesome characters!

But nothing would hurt me more than Koala vs. Jinbei…

[Tyrano]

So Weather Wizards lost…
I feel bad for all those great campaigns.

[Bond en Avant]

Whew, that was quite fun. Thanks for the support everybody! I'm already really glad the wizards managed to make it this far. Honestly, I was expecting them to not even pass the first round when I started.It's been a lot of fun!
