Sorry for the delay everyone, but the man of the hour was a bit busy so he couldn't come right away. So let us introduce our winner this year, our prince, Sanji
!
This year we had a number of close matches, and many that were one sided. There was laughter, there were tears, and there was many unexpected turns. We had a one off drawing make it very far into the tournament, and for some time we had the unstoppable force of Carrot slaughter her opponent in every round. Sanji did overall well, but had some hard contests, which an artist rendition of his battles can be seen below.

When the final round came, many expected Carrot to win by a landslide. However, as the match went on the hype for Sanji this year was even greater than expected, and through that hype came out on top. Sanji's reaction could be seen by all, encapsulating how he truly felt in that moment.

So my dear prince, do you have any words you would like to impart onto the people here at Arlong Park?

Well folks, that wraps up this years tournament. Thanks to the campaigners that made certain matches a spectacle to behold, and thanks to all the voters. We look forward to seeing you at the next event
