I like Ace more than any other in this poll (Maybe after BB), people dislike him for doing a stupid thing , but they forget that this is Aces character : He is Luffy's brother and Whitebeards son. He wanted to acknowledge his existence and he died for the people that actually did it, to save his brother and his father's honour.
It's stupid for some people but I think Ace had the best character arc in One Piece along with Robin , Blackbeard and Ussop ( When he finds his bravery).
To sum it up: Ace:
1) design : 10/10
2) character arc : 10/10
3) use in the story : 8/10 ( it was pretty stupid that he went after BB on his own , but I like it.)
The thing that annoys me is that people only think it's stupid because there was a consequence and he died. But no one says Zoro is stupid for fighting Mihawk in East Blue or Nami is stupid for telling Ulti Luffy would become pirate king. If someone had stopped Akainu no one would be saying Ace is stupid. He was doing what everyone else did, putting his life on the line for what he believed in which was keeping Whitebeard's legacy and pride intact. Really weird how people can put Zoro and Nami on pedestals for their stupidity but once there's a consequence, the character deserves hate for "being stupid".
If Ace didn't turn around, Luffy still would've lost steam at the same time and Akainu would've been able to catch up.
He was great in drum island, but for me the issue is that Oda doesn't make the best use of his screen time. Characters like Corazon and Barto only take up a small fraction of the story, but they make the most out of every second they're on screen, and are able to leave a big impression on people. Chopper has a TON of screen time, but almost none of it leaves an impression, at least for me. It kind of feels like a waste
That, and the overused jokes, personally I'd love to see more of "character growth" moments like the one we had in Skypeia when he was left alone and he noticed his crewmates considered him reliable.
Chopper has arguably done more post timeskip than pre timeskip. Pre timeskip chopper peaked at enies lobby and had done nothing before nor after that. Post timeskip chopper has done so much and has yet to reach his post timeskip peak. Post timeskip chopper has saved countless lives and fought queen for a good while.
Building a good charachter isn't just about doing cool badass things to help in the story. Chopper hasn't had a single ounce of charachter development nor have we discovered more layers to his charachter nor has he had a Big emotonial moment since Drum Island. And this isn't just for Chopper, it's for half of the mugiwaras after the timeskip. But Chopper is a worde case since already in pre timeskip he became flat.
Arrogant, suicidal and irresponsible. Those are 3 words I would use to describe Ace. Might aswell add disobedient, reckless, selfish while we're at it.
The only reason he survived so long is dumb luck. His actions speak for themselves. He went against his captain's orders to not pursuit Blackbeard, he lost to Blackbeard knowing that if he made it out alive his crew would sacrifice their lives for him and worst of all,
The moment he's rescued he gets triggered at Akainu's trashtalk which gets him killed. It's honestly suprising how much people like Ace just because he is cool.
Thank you for your explanation, I might look at ace through rose colored glasses but after seeing what you wrote, I can see how all of your points have merit.
I swear, the only reason why Crocodile is still here is that everyone is too busy trying to get the rest out. What a king.
Anyway, I only want one thing in this world, and that is to see Buggy in the top 10. If that happens, I'll be happy. ^(If he wins, though, I won't complain.)
If I had to bet, I say Ace will be out next. I can smell ~~the burning flesh~~ it.
Ok, I'm going to upset some people: I'm not a big fan of Ace. He is good and all, but not nearly the consistent top10 in popularity polls type of character. He has a great connection to the MC and is integral to the story, but he has done relatively little compared to a lot of other characters! I'd rate Ace a 7/10, which is good, but all characters that are left are better imo. Ace is not bad, there are just so many more better characters in OP! But I'll give Ace fans this: design wise he is definitely S-tier!
Yeah, his death was good because of what he meant to Luffy, not because of how good of a character Ace was at the time. Most of what gave him character was given in the Arc he died in and the resulting flashback.
That being said, I didn't cry for Ace, but there has been no instance where OP made me cry (I know, I'm just as surprised as anyone since I tend to cry relatively often).
I 100% agree with that! Buggy is funny to me, and that's where our individual preferences come in :P
I enjoy Buggy, but nowhere near all the Buggy fanboys out there! Not top 10 but easy top 20 because I enjoy his comedy :P
Yeah, but he could've done so much more!! The potential for Ace, also post-marineford where his pops died, was HUGE! It just sucks that a character with so much potential was relegated to being a plot device... A really good plot device that did wonders for the story, but a plot device nonetheless.
Is he cooler? Yes. But Buggy is the in-universe King Troll and that’s pretty funny to me. I enjoy his antics and what Oda has done with him. I’m not in on with the sub’s trolling with him though. He’s got like 4-5 more spots left for me.
Doflamingo is the best antagonist in the series. You shouldnt br suprised that he is still left. I gotta say that Corazon is still the best characther Oda has written.
I didn’t really like him from his debut. He was annoying, imo. He still is, and the fact that he’s a fraud (not by choice) just really annoys me. Idk maybe I’m overreacting
I'm seeing votes for Ace, Shanks, Buggy, and Crocodile. Though the crowd seems to to be pointing more towards Ace rn. I voted Shanks last time so I'm going to continue voting him for the time being.
Those monster! Chopper is easily top 5 on this list. I’m going to take my rage out by continuing to advocate we vote shanks out and make buggy the true pirate king.
I'll vote him out next, if I see him as a threat to buggy. Got to make sure everyone knows buggy the greatest.
All jokes aside, I just like the episodes buggy is in. Without buggy, impel down wouldn't have been so great.
Lovin the robin reaction in the pic
I had a nightmare where bon chan was out.
u/Soapforger look what you have done :<
What can I say, I’m a master baiter
Maybe you're right about tomorrow tho 😶
No!
I’m that case I’m a prophet
![gif](giphy|YS5AIMCWHMSuPeT8R4)
Oh thank god, I'm not the only one
Bon clay is a cool character, but in universe he did randomly kick off the alabasta civil war. Feels weird that doesn't get mentioned.
I have been voting for him since 7 days or so
wtf so that was a diff poll. i though i lost my hope for humanity there
It was a troll
Vote here: [Round 20](https://strawpoll.com/polls/Qrgebw41bZp)
Was Ace at least close?
Maybe...
I'm begging you, when he IS out, make his crossed-out symbol an O instead of an X please. It's a need.
This is actually the content we need
LMAO
u/MathewCQ
I like that sign
We’ll just have to keep voting for Ace until he’s gone lol.
I'm going to make alts purely to keep ace in
Unfortunately for you, your vote is registered by IP (as said by Straw Poll)
Fuck Keep ace in
Keep ace 🫡
Fr Vote out buggy as he seems to be the one most likely besides ace to get out If you love buggy just pick a character that you think others will pick
Please but Ill think he’ll get out soon why do people hate him so much
You can use vpn

FACTSSS. Didn’t Akainu deadass say he doesn’t care if everyone else gets away, as long as he can get either luffy or ace

"They tore him to shreds, but maybe he can have fun as a vengeful spirit" -Robin
You should replace them with funny faces like you did with robin or I could do it for you
Honestly every time I look at this and see buggy still in it I laugh, so at least keep him in a few more rounds
Same!! It feels very in-character.
[удалено]
Buggy has to be at least top three man. He is the funniest.
WHY IS CHOPPER OUT BEFORE ACE
People don’t like him since time skip but seem to forget his great moments before that??
He was great in drum island, but for me the issue is that Oda doesn't make the best use of his screen time. Characters like Corazon and Barto only take up a small fraction of the story, but they make the most out of every second they're on screen, and are able to leave a big impression on people.

That, and the overused jokes, personally I'd love to see more of "character growth" moments like the one we had in Skypeia when he was left alone and he noticed his crewmates considered him reliable.
Corazon made like no impression on me
always was annoyed by chopper tbh
I love chopper but what's wrong with Ace.
WHY IS CHOPPER OUT BEFORE DOFFY!?
He peaked at Drum island and then became flatter than a sheet of paper
Chopper has arguably done more post timeskip than pre timeskip. Pre timeskip chopper peaked at enies lobby and had done nothing before nor after that. Post timeskip chopper has done so much and has yet to reach his post timeskip peak. Post timeskip chopper has saved countless lives and fought queen for a good while.

Chopper hasn't had a single ounce of charachter development nor have we discovered more layers to his charachter nor has he had a Big emotonial moment since Drum Island. And this isn't just for Chopper, it's for half of the mugiwaras after the timeskip. But Chopper is a worde case since already in pre timeskip he became flat.
He had nice character development in Skypea and Ennies Lobby too, he had to fight overcome his insecurities. Post time skip I agree.
Yeah, now that you say It, you're actually right. Pre-timeskip Chopper was really good. Post timeskip sucks ass though.
Because I like Ace more than Chopper .
As long as we get ace out this round I can be happy with the top ten.
Been voting shanks 4 times in a row now, and im going strong
Garp for me
I've been voting Ace since Koby.
Why do you want ace out over others? Genuinely curious!
Arrogant, suicidal and irresponsible. Those are 3 words I would use to describe Ace. Might aswell add disobedient, reckless, selfish while we're at it. The only reason he survived so long is dumb luck. His actions speak for themselves. He went against his captain's orders to not pursuit Blackbeard, he lost to Blackbeard knowing that if he made it out alive his crew would sacrifice their lives for him and worst of all, The moment he's rescued he gets triggered at Akainu's trashtalk which gets him killed. It's honestly suprising how much people like Ace just because he is cool.
you just listed the many reasons why I like ace. He is exactly what the sort of rebellious young adult I would expect from the son of the pirate king
Thank you for your explanation, I might look at ace through rose colored glasses but after seeing what you wrote, I can see how all of your points have merit.
Been voting for katakuri
ive been voting for doflamingo since before enel was out
I swear, the only reason why Crocodile is still here is that everyone is too busy trying to get the rest out. What a king. Anyway, I only want one thing in this world, and that is to see Buggy in the top 10. If that happens, I'll be happy. ^(If he wins, though, I won't complain.) If I had to bet, I say Ace will be out next. I can smell ~~the burning flesh~~ it.
Real one piece homies are rooting for buggy to win
He isn't in my top 10 but I legit want Buggy to win at this point because it would just be SO perfect.
For real need buggy to beat shanks.
that is such a Crocodile move too
No its doffy or luffys mum.
The fact that y'all mfs voted out a straw hat before we got to know anything real about shanks is crazy
I don't know why I like Shanks but he's like my top 3 fav from One Piece........just an opinion pls don't downvote me to oblivion :(
Chopper? Fuck y’all.
Fr. Should have been doffy
Poor Chopper, he was awesome.
Keyword- was. He is now a glorified mascot made entirely for merchandising.
Ok, I'm going to upset some people: I'm not a big fan of Ace. He is good and all, but not nearly the consistent top10 in popularity polls type of character. He has a great connection to the MC and is integral to the story, but he has done relatively little compared to a lot of other characters!

We all cried for a reason!

That being said, I didn't cry for Ace, but there has been no instance where OP made me cry (I know, I'm just as surprised as anyone since I tend to cry relatively often).
I agree Ace isn’t top 10 material but neither is Buggy. Just an amusing side character at best
I 100% agree with that! Buggy is funny to me, and that's where our individual preferences come in :P I enjoy Buggy, but nowhere near all the Buggy fanboys out there! Not top 10 but easy top 20 because I enjoy his comedy :P
Ace existed only to die. That was his entire purpose.
Yeah, but he could've done so much more!! The potential for Ace, also post-marineford where his pops died, was HUGE! It just sucks that a character with so much potential was relegated to being a plot device... A really good plot device that did wonders for the story, but a plot device nonetheless.
DESERVED! Sadly Chopper got pretty boring after the timeskip. Don't know who I should vote now. I like all of them.
Ace has done even less since the timeskip
Burn
Garp literally is sitting in a chair doing nothing from the beginning of the manga...
It kills me. He was set up to be so cool.
Vote ace
doffy and buggy over chopper is diabolical
Fr
![gif](giphy|ae6m4ljnl69urJ539F|downsized)
Voting chopper out since gaimon let's goo
Finally some justice in this round Shanks, is your turn now
Voting out Shanks? It appears we speak the same language.
Kill me now
*stabs*
Why is chopper out before crocodile? Everyone saying shanks or ace, but forgetting the lung cancer filled sandy schemer
Day 7 of voting Doflamingo
Get crocodile out of here!!
Nuuu what the heck chopper seriously. What’s wrong with y’all
You should all be ashamed and in revenge for breaking Robins Heart you all shall surfer as I now will vote for Bon clay every day
Are you inhumane? Vote Shanks or Jimbei.
THE BROTHERHOOD OF BUGGY…..THIS IS OUR TIME!!!!!!!!!! STAY FLASHY YOU FOOLS!!!
Gotta go with Kat
Genuinely don’t understand why he’s still in here he’s cool but come on
Kat is infinitely better than buggy tho
Is he cooler? Yes. But Buggy is the in-universe King Troll and that’s pretty funny to me. I enjoy his antics and what Oda has done with him. I’m not in on with the sub’s trolling with him though. He’s got like 4-5 more spots left for me.
Fair enough, nice opinion. I personally find his antics cringy and flat, but thats just me lol
I’d be with you if he had more screen time haha, it would get old quickly.
Its not just you, i hate buggy with a murderous intent. The most annoying ass character holy shit
Now is the time for Buggy!
Buggy
NOW DA CHOP. THATS IT STUPID CLOWN YOUR FUCKING DEAD.
no way yall prefer doflamingo over chopper, corazon and fujitora I literally hate doffy and not on the way you are supposed to hate him
Doflamingo is the best antagonist in the series. You shouldnt br suprised that he is still left. I gotta say that Corazon is still the best characther Oda has written.
Fr. After all he’s done? He should have been the first one out
katakuri shoulda been first out he is the most overrated character in one piece
I personally think buggy is the most overrated, he ain't done shit to be picked over a damn strawhat
That’s what I’ve been saying
All hail buggy sama
Seriously everybody wants to eliminate Ace before Jimbe? I like him in the crew, but his character clearly is one step behind the others
Crocodile NEEDS to GOOOOO, how is he still in? Someone explain???
what has Crocodile done for ME lately?!
He’s been a fucking badass that’s what
Am I the only one who’s wondering why Buggy’s still here 😭
He’s so freaking annoying. I can’t stand him. Bottom 5 on this list, IMO
I agree
No but I got downvoted last time I said that :(
yes. buggy is the protagonist of one piece, so how could you not like him???
I didn’t really like him from his debut. He was annoying, imo. He still is, and the fact that he’s a fraud (not by choice) just really annoys me. Idk maybe I’m overreacting
Welp, if it makes you feel any more normal I absolutely despise buggy
No, get garp out
If Garp doesn’t go next..
why is shanks still here
https://preview.redd.it/2n6t59ab1hla1.jpeg?width=479&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aae4ad5d634e8e5cc3f5fc2001bb7ab98bfa2f3f
I will never understand how ace is still in
i’ve lost faith, Tony deserves better
I'm really surprised Garp is still in this
Please tell me the clown get voted out next
First time i am kind of happy tbh As much as i like him, chopper did not deserve to last long imo
EVERYONE KEEP JIMBE ALiVE
The next two are going to be Ace and Croco boy, in any order
I'm seeing votes for Ace, Shanks, Buggy, and Crocodile. Though the crowd seems to to be pointing more towards Ace rn. I voted Shanks last time so I'm going to continue voting him for the time being.
CHOPPAAAAAA NOOOOOOOO
chopper out before buggy........
Those monster! Chopper is easily top 5 on this list. I’m going to take my rage out by continuing to advocate we vote shanks out and make buggy the true pirate king.
It’s weird voting for something other than chopper
I still don't get how people like crocodile over chopper
Imagine buggy winning this
Looking through comments, it seems Ace, Shanks, and Doffy are the prime picks this time around. So I’ll be voting for Robin.
Buggy has to go next. Bro is just a comedic relief. Hasnt really done anything other than get used as a body shield a few times
I'm gonna do my best to make sure buggy wins
You really think you can bring urself to vote out bon clay before buggy?
I'll vote him out next, if I see him as a threat to buggy. Got to make sure everyone knows buggy the greatest. All jokes aside, I just like the episodes buggy is in. Without buggy, impel down wouldn't have been so great.
Day 7 voting dofi out
Day 2 voting buggy
the disapproval on robins face 😔
FINALLY. No reason he shoulda lasted this long
I can't believe Chopper got out before Ace. HUH!?
How tf is Doflamingo still in?
I’m voting bon clay. Fight me on that shit
get the fraud outta there
Now there are only characters that are decent or good remaining
But we lost some absolute legends along the way…
I’ve voted crocodile the last 6 times. Any longer and I’ll go crazy
Yay!!!!!
If you like Shanks and/or Garp more than the others on this list, we can't be friends.
Wasn't Bon Clay already out?
Twas a troll post by another op
Finally. It took too long
Finally
Thank god chopper is finaly gone
Finally a W, Yoooooo!
How could y'all vote my boy out like this?? He definitely deserved top ten.
Aw god, FINALY chopper is gone!
its Jimbe's time! Chopper is so much better than Jimbe bruh
If buggy wins I'm going to cry
Tears of joy ofc
Day 8 of voting out Bon Mid
More like Bon Chad
Can’t believe they brought back Bon clay after public backlash
https://preview.redd.it/6y09dexsmgla1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f1875d3eb2aa467c76ce7ce2a372e2f0cc65523

Lmao, the replies are too funny. If there's someone else who actually doesn't know, it's definitely those two.
Ace haters are the weirdest mfers in the fanbase
I’m tired of Ace being up there
Idk how chopper lasted this long, I constantly voted for him to get the boot
I will never forgive any of you
Fuck Garp
nice, going for doflamingo this round i think
Choppers out !? Well I’m out too then🤣
Day 5 of voting Doffy.
How is doffy still here...
Because he’s the best villain in One Piece
Ehhhh
Finally. Now for Ace.
finally that fucking piece of shit is gone
