Click here for cosplay~
! I'll just leave this here:
And:
Maybe have the strawhats match up against each other. That way half of them are taken out at the outset. Or Team Mugiwara vs Team Shichibukai or something. (That would be mean)
No, I wasn't trying to rile you up or anything, I just added the quicknotes version for completeness' sake (saves anyone else having to go searching). It's not like I hate her with the undying force of a thousand suns or anything (I reserve that hatred for matches like this ;p ) but I couldn't see where voting for Usopp or Hancock fell in with this match.
So, if the poll question means what I think it means, voting Satori should mean I'm voting Tashigi, which is what I want. Especially after reading Mugen's long speech where she defends Hancock after someone bashed her. It made me regret voting Usopp. But anyway, whether voting for Satori really means voting Tashigi or not, it shouldn't affect the outcome very much. I'll withhold my vote for now, but I'm thinking I'll vote Satori (for Tashigi) before the poll closes. Watcha think?
I mean, the allusion to the other match comes out of nowhere and doesn't even link with this one? I mean, you went straight from 'if I vote this then this should be right' to 'especially after last match…' and it didn't make any sense.
Sadly, that is true. People! Y U NO READ QUESTION?!
Dunno what voting Tashigi has to do with voting for either Usopp or Hancock. And yes, that was me who 'bashed' Hancock, though it was more a 'this is why I don't like her and why I didn't vote for her' than 'bashing'. (ie: bitchy, complete 180 of character once she fell in lurve, fangirlism) :insert eyeroll here:
That said, the Satorites have certainly perked up when it comes to campaigns. All power to them (even though I'd vote for Tashigi passing the round if I were going to vote).
The only way to beat the true villains* in this round is to either not vote at all (too late for that) or deliberately vote for tie (which is heavily frowned on). We can't win either way.
*Dem damn mods
And to those saying 'oh, it's just fun!'
What's so fun about having your votes and campaigns not count at all? No fun. I pity any campaigners in rounds where the mods decide to play funny buggers. Yes, even the Satori ones, because they have no way of knowing whether the opposite counts for them or against. In other words, this might as well be an anonymous vote match - which would be more fun than this anyway, because at least you don't have to agonise over whether your vote or campaigns count at all.
Even if one character gets more than the other at the end, the mods can just say 'oh, no, we meant this not wasn't counted' or 'oh, it's really opposite for all the nots' and put through whoever they want. How would we know? (At least the last Satori match, which was a dick move, could at least be countered if anyone had pointed out or paid attention to the question. That one falls on the voters, I'm afraid.)

...screw you guys. I'm not voting.
Any grudges towards the alabasta arc or something?
You can skip the filler episodes if that's your problem.
True, but some of the … laggier parts are not fillerish and skipping four or five episodes at a time brings back flashes of Naruto: the filler year. Granted, it had a great climax and resolution, but as a whole, it's a lot worse off compared to the current arc. I just get sick of people complaining every other arc about superficial shit. It's like every episode has someone saying it's either too slow or too rushed-feeling. The slower parts help to create a balance so that it doesn't feel as rushed and hectic.
Also, discipline is usually handled by the First Mate/second in command. Who handles discipline on Sunny? Yeah, it ain't the Captain, that's for sure. Then again, there are times when Zoro has stepped in and stopped Nami from being 'boss' but it's not often. If anything, I'd say they share the responsibility - and it's not so much a tiered thing, either. The whole crew takes responsibility for each other at times, so it's not so much Who is First Mate as Who is currently acting like someone they should be following. Usually it's Nami, but yeah, others have stepped in to that spot - Sanji, Zoro, Robin…
Getting to choose which of the paths to take on the Grand Line, and travelling along them from island to island - not being able to go back as that character, always moving forwards. Well, unless you're a marine.
Marines would be like mission-based and Pirates would be exploration-based.
Maybe also Bounty Hunters? Or would they be lumped in as a sub-division of pirates/marines. Maybe a type of either.
God, could people get any whinier? It was a decent episode. Maybe there were a couple of bits that dragged a little - like a whole 20 seconds here and there. Goddamn, guys, stop acting so spoiled. Let me just say that from the perspective of someone who only just watched all the episodes in a row, it's a good enough arc so far. Better than Alabasta, that's for sure.
Y'know what? Here's a tip for next episode: Go watch a shitty anime. Then watch One Piece. You'll enjoy yourself and the thread won't be full of whine. (Without cheesse and crackers, even. Savages!)
Okay, so I'm just watching this now, but can I just say how much the anime emphasizes the size of Noah. In the manga it seems, I don't know, much smaller? In the anime… that thing is immense!
This has got to be the cutest rage face ever. ^.^ ~<3
Thanks, I started them last chapter (and have done Romance Dawn, Chapter one and two so far) and aim to eventually do all the chapters. ^.^
Also, anyone else notice Franky took off? He did say he wanted to do something with Sunny - maybe grab one of the bots? >:D
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
@Nex:
Okay. Obviously he doesn't count, as his power specifically makes him take all damage.
Oh, Aokiji? Does he count? And what about someone who had an earthen based one?
Welp, my review's up if anyone wants a look.
That aside, this was definitely one of the best chapters in a short while. ^.^
Things I love-love-loved:
Also, Franky calling Law 'Bro'. XD
Depends if either outshines the other in the next chapter. With a few filler matches, there might just be enough days between now and that match for something awesome to happen… like Law's counter plan.
Easy choice for me: Hated Hancock. She didn't act like a bitch, the majority of her character was that of a bitch. Then she does a sudden turn around and becomes a Luffy fangirl. Three of the worst offenders in my book:
So, a character who maintains his issues and can be seen reverting back to them when under stress, but still is becoming a better character through the story - ie: actual character progression? Yeah, easy win for the Mansopp team, and this from a person who ranks him about 6-7th in a crew faves rating.
! 01. Satori vs Tashigi - Not an issue, but the mods better not pull the same crap as last match or I swear, I'll with hold my vote on any Satori match in the future - it's the only way to beat it.
02. Ivankov vs Winner 32 (Usopp/Hancock) - Hoping for an Usopp win because Mancock is more terrifying that Usoppa. I'll leave it to campaigns, though.
03. Brook vs Crocodile - Love Brook, but the pimpodile calls.
04. DoFlamingo vs Franky - Sorry, Franky, but Doflamingo really is behind everything this year.
Voted Calgara because the man deserves some love too. And I really, really liked his story.
Well, I love Benn very, very much, but if someone had to take him out I'm glad it's Smoker - since I also love him very, very much. ^.^~<3
My heart wins either way, though it was hard to choose who to vote for. I ended up voting Benn, though, since he was my second OP crush. (Thank God he wasn't up against Shanks - my first)
At least it wasn't someone like Hannyabal, Moria or some random octopus (I am still in shock over that ;.; )
Benn wants your vo-tori~
I-If you don't mind…?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
! I'll leave this up to you guys for now, since it's almost 3am and I have things to do tomorrow, but I should be around for the end game and I'll try to cook some special stuff up for the Bennwagon then! For now, I trust he is in good hands.
It was on a tumblr. Sorry?
.<;
Did a google of Benn pics and I found a link that led to it.
:Edited it out:
Give him a vote, if only because of the crazy he has to deal with every goddamn day.

He upgraded to this:
The Benn-boat. Sailing to a party near you.
Oh God, it begins. And I am still torn, but the Bennwagon calls.
So…
In other words, she's only so awesome because her mother taught her to be. Or "I learned it from you, mum."

Vote for the man who gave Luffy a reason to set out to sea. A man who could read the ponylglyphs and left clues on them for future generations. A man who loved his friends and whose life was cut tragically short but still made an impact on the world despite it.
Vote Roger!
Because the D's would want you to.
Fixed~ … NateRich, you beat me to it. :D
"Without Roger there would be no OP"
What skillful campaigning, actually without Oda there would be no OP.
Please don't embarrass yourself with that rubbish.
You made me do this. You brought this apon yourselves.
Okay, found a few on another site. I don't think they've been posted here yet, but I may be wrong.
Firstly, not exactly a GB but… well, you'll see.
!
A pretty decent male Nami~
!
Female Zoro cosplay. It counts, right?
!
Jinba

Maki

Best campaign:
You can't have this -
!
Without this =
!
Also, epic is epic no matter what!
!
Without Roger there would be no One Piece. He's the reason behind everything. A loving father, a fierce friend and terrifying opponent. We know more about him than people think. We've seen him interact with his crew, we've seen him fight his enemies with a mad grin on his face, we've seen him offer an old friend the largest of secrets and watched as he walked with dignity to his own death. He set the world on fire with his words and his actions. I'd say we've seen quite a bit of him. Is he like Luffy? There are some similarities, yes, but there are differences too. Roger and Luffy are both different people.
Also, Jabra, was that supposed to be a campaign for the Faux Hats? Because it may just backfire. Spectacularly.
Yes, I meant his manager~ Apoo doesn't need to pretend to be someone else to make cash off his music. ;P
Ahem, their real names are:
Also, campaign idea for those who want it: Fake Brook is a non-entity. Perhaps he could throw a concert. Though what Fake-Brook would be is questionable. A zombie? A guy in a skeleton costume? A certain long-arm in a skeleton costume trying to keep the cash-flow coming?
And why stop there? Why not create Fake-Vivi and Fake-Carue? Carue could be a platypus who is ridden by Fake-Vivi. Or something.
And thank you to the person who just voted Faux Hats. Now they won't get the auto-win for having no votes.
The best way to vote? Okama Way, of course~
Oooh! First vote! Prepare the slaughtermobile~
Picture by IceBorg, btw.
Right, so next round is Bepo vs Crocodile. Will Bepo leave with a new handbag and matching shoes or will Crocodile be leaving with a new fur coat?
That, my friends, is the question of the day.
Vote classy~
Also, did someone say Fishman glaze?
!
Sorry, I couldn't help myself… >.<;
As awesome as the campaigns are, I had to vote sexy old man. Sorry Jinbe!
Who will eat that fruit, you think?
One of the Mugiwaras? One of the baddies? Someone we haven't seen yet? It's an interesting thought…
Wow… So anyone want to bet whether he'll break fifty? Any takers? Five for fifty! No one?
Yeah, thought so...
(I actually want to see him hit 10% so someone can do an "I am the 10%!" campaign, but it probably won't happen.)
@Jet:
For boys, point at all the massive cleavages they'll get to witness. For girls, just make them pretend that Vic Mignogna sings all of the male openings and endings.
Ahem: For the girls, point out characters like Smoker, Law, Shanks, Benn, Zoro, Drake and other bishies.
Even Nami mermaid/fishman would have garnered more votes… and love. Cutest fishgirl ever~
Well this one's an easy pick. Just how did butterball get into the First Round anyway?
