Rorenoa Zoro: He's my favorite character. I think he'll always be. When he doesn't do a lot for a time (like now) others tend to get close to him, but I still always put him first. He's just pure badassery. I know many are not entirely happy with how he turned out post ts, but I couldn't care less. I still love him. If anything, he became even more badass. And I actually have to admit, I do like the more serious characters way more than the funny ones. Least of all the ridiculous once. (Reason I never liked Franky!)

Nico Robin: Staying with the Straw-hats, she's my second favorite SH and favorite female in OP. I also really like Sanji, Luffy and Nami… But I love history, and when I was young, I wanted to be an archeologist myself. What can I do?

Sir Crocodile: I can't really explain it. He's my favorite Villain and favorite Shichibukai. I guess I like the badass once, but I only really liked him, when Impel Down started. Only when I rewatched Alabasta afterwards did I start really liking him. Guess when I was younger I just didn't care for Villains or Antagonists that much. Still don't for the most part... Don't get me wrong, there are some amazing bad guys/ former villains: I really like Dofla, and Buggy... and I surprisingly found myself loving Caesar Clown... But I never really cared for most of the early villains, not even Rob Lucci or Eneru. Croc on the other hand is just awesome. Especially since he's more of a antihero/Antagonis/don't really know where he's going kind of guy... Speaking of Caesar:

Caesar Clown: Yeah... As soon as WCI is said and done and we know where he's going, I'm still stubbornly putting him into my Top 10. I'll quite certainly downgrade him later, but at the moment I very much care for him. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those who wants him for Straw hat (at least not anymore), but I still demand that he'll be saved and not left to rot with an angry Big Mom! I worry for him and the worries keep him very prevalent in my mind, even if we haven't really seen him for a while.

Smoker: I always loved him. Since his first introduction. There was a time, he was my number two, very very very (sometimes to) close to Zoro. He lost a bit post ts... I'm a bit disappointed in how weak he seems to be... and hin his new style honestly. I liked the wild white short hair better than his new military style. Also thought the whilder hair made him look more like the rebellious marine he's supposed to be. I still like him though... Or I still have hopes in him.

Eustass Kidd: I immidiately liked him in sabaody. Favorite Supernova (aside from Zoro and probably Luffy). I'd just hope we'd see more of him. I also think he should start showing us some feats. I mean I can't just believe he's as powerful as Luffy without seeing some proof. Plus I'm really worried for him. Yeah yeah... Sure he's not going to die... I'm still worried.

Iceberg: hahaha... I don't know.... when I rewatched Water 7 a few years ago, I just started loving him. And I never stopped.

(To complete my top ten, the other three would probably be Nami, Luffy and Mihawk... but that varies from time to time.)

@FolhaS:

Not being really fair, are you? You can't expect to know the full purpose of a character when all you've seen is their business card.

…

I'm not trying to be a Weevil fanboy, we haven't seen enough of him, but from what we know he will tip the scale to whatever side he ends up and how he's going to end up on that side will probably be a fun story.

Yeah. I'm probably unfair. I have to admit, the further the story progresses the more difficult it is for me to be really interested in newly introduced characters. Especially when they don't have much going for them to intrigue me, and as troglodyted pointed out, so far he doesn't show much - aside from dumb brutality. The think is, I'd also much rather see a known character tip the scale against Kaidou, than someone I don't know. His whole introduction just seemed odd to me.
Especially as a Shichibukai because I really think we're past the point were shichibukais are major villains. So I can't see him as a villain, but as I said, if he's introduced to be an ally, I'd much rather have a known character… I just don't care for him.

On the other hand, I very much care for Kidd, so I think it would be great for him (or Smoker) to get a chance to show they are still strong, since I think both of them have to finally proof, that they are not just remnants of what was once a rival to Luffy. And Weevil would be perfect. I very much think, that's not the road Oda wants to go - why else introduce him as Whitebeards 'son' if not to use him for something bigger... But as I said... I don't really care for him at the moment.

Just stumbled upon a Weevil Discussion video. And am I the only one who really doesn't care for the guy? He has no place in the show (at least not now) as an ally or as a villain… I still hope, he's just their to be fodder for either Smoker or Kid or whoever to give them a kill and show us how powerful they are... That way he'd at least serve a purpose I could understand.

So, well… I'll just put it in hear I guess...
These are actually no real theories, just mere Ideas regarding Croc ^^ I've been rewatching the first Arcs lately and some things did come to my attention, which I didn't see today.

I think since Impel Down their have been many discussion, wether Sir Crocodile might actually be a woman, and I agree to a degree, though I don't really like the idea. To me it seamed, as if he would hate Ivankov and be in the same moment emberrased... So on one hand, it would fit, on the other, it wouldn't explain the hate. It would also not explain the hate he had towards Crocodile. So I think their is more. In fact, I think Crocodile was betrayed by someone, possibly a close friend, comrade or ally. This could be directly or indirectly tied to Whitebeard, I don't know.... However the reason I think this, is because Crocodile was talking an aweful lot about trust during the Arabasta Arc. Starting at Rainbase, where he stated that trust ist the "most useless thing in the entire world", later on during his first fight with luffy, he is talking about it again: "Those who conspire with others, all die because of it..." Then finally before and during the last fight, he is naming trust among the things he stole, he say's he would forgive Robin, because he never trusted anyone to begin with and finally talks a lot to Luffy about why he is doing all this for his friends, and if he would go on doing it, even if he died... To me this all adds up to crocodile being betrayed some time in the past...

Shame, that ties aren't possible anymore :) would have loved, to let them both pass. Thus, I've got to make a choice. And this is really hard…
Voted the man with (nearly) no campaigns, anyway XD no way, I won't give him my Vote! However, I'm actually fine with Ceasar passing as well ...

Jinbe vs. Perona:
leaving this one up to campaigns.

Doflamingo vs. Kuzan

Noland vs. Franky
Ooh! Noland will make it! Great!

Caesar Clown vs. Zoro you gotta be kidding me! I certainly planed to support Zoro, but first it's against Iceburg now versus Ceasar. I so much wanted Ceasar to pass!

Moriah vs. Brook
I hated Moriah… Can't believe he is actually bringing me to voting one of my least liked SHs... Campaigns.

Garp vs. Shanks Argh…!

Akainu vs. Whitebeard
Don't know, who it would be, if Whitebeard hasn't already won… But well, that gives him a disadvantage.

Buggy vs. Enel
It's gonna blow your minds! Did something like this EVER happen?

Weeell I actually prefer Cats, but… If it comes to Dryish vs. Fuji... To be honest, I don't understand this whole Fujitora hype. I mean he seems to be a far more sympathetic Admiral than Akainu, plus he is blind and strong, but he basically hasn't done anything, besides beating the sh... out of law...

@Supernova122:

Mayuri's whole 'getting rid of shadows' by making himself sparkly and shiny was hilarious. I think ratherthan stealing the spotlight, he has managed to become the spotlight O.o

Lee is too far in the lead, and if I voted for A also, then they'd still be tied, so only Mayuri it is.

That quote of Mayuri with the Shadows, made my day back than.
I so much love him every time, he appears. Thus I'll go with him. Never liked Lee anyway, and he is winning ;_;

This is just evil!

01. Doflamingo & Norland vs. Robin & Magellan

Most Likely Dofla and Norland, cause I absolutely despise Magellan!

02. Monet & Sanji vs. Caesar & Buggy the Clowns

Two Clowns! This is a MUST VOTE!

03. Jinbe & Akainu vs. Kuma & Bepo

Absolutely no Idea who to vote for.

04. Fisher Tiger & Bellamy vs. Whitebeard & Garp

Bellamy beats Whitebeard and Garp! Tiger is just lucky he has this companion.

05. Kuzan & Perona vs. Hancock & Mr. 3

Argh… Kuzan or Hancock? Don't actually care for the other two

06. Moriah & Shanks vs. Laboon & Nami

Moriah and Shanks!

07. Franky & Zoro vs. Tyrannosaurus & Crocodile

So this is the evil thing… I think Tyrannosaurus contains Iceberg? These are two Characters I love and wanted to rule this year plus a ultra cute mouse vs. one SH I don't care for and Zoro, who is my most Favorite Chara in the Series, and very much deserves to win this tournament at least this one year!

08. Brook & Enel vs. Fujitora & Crocus

Leaving this to the Campaigns.

@TonyTheChopper:

Dayuuuum this is hard. Okay the first one to photoshop law into a picture with the character they want me to vote for gets my vote!

Noob has already photoshoped Laws Hat on Zeffs Hat-mountain.
