Ya know, there are other characters...
WITH DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS...
Some people with different, changing hair...
Franky, pre-time skip

Most badass of them all :D

Yessir

Brook is easily my favourite.

The funny thing is, that angle, once he is on the ground is pretty much what he wanted in the first place.

nah jk, luffy

Mine would have to be usopp. Even before the time skip, I loved his character.

I grew to love him, hated him before... I started to like him just about when franky came around...

finally! Some-one else who's favourite character is Usopp!

Supanova at the gold coast in queensland (Australia) we are going as a group, and the theme is pre-timeskip one piece. I chose Usopp and am having someone make up the Kabuto slingshot for me (a metal one for home use, and a wooden prop one)

ooohohohohohhhhooooo - post pictures when you do, ESPECIALLY if there are any Law cosplayers. I'm not even gay but Law is one sexy fucker

sounds like you're going on your own cruise - well I hope you enjoy it!

Why thank you, I shall hopefully enjoy it. I am trying to convince them that attending the 3-days there will make it much more worthwhile compared to just the 1 day that they want (considering its a 3-hour drive) but it may mean we need to rent a room for 5 days in total since I am sure we will all stay up late. I am saving up money as I have been told that you should go to restaurants for dinner as you may meet the celebrities there, and they like to eat with people in costumes :P

yeah one day is fun but if you can go for longer DO IT. The community at cons are the best; everyone is happy and friendly no matter the situation. And eating with people in costume is hilarious

The first one we went to was fun, we went 2 out of 3 days (his girlfriend had to work the first day, forbid him from going without her) and it was fun, her and her sister were annoying, especially on the second day.

The second time was later that year... we went 1 day (the final day) and she went out clubbing the night before. The total time there: 1 and a half hours.

The third time we went was for, once again, 1 day. The final day again, and though it was for about 4-5 hours, no one was really there until AFTER we decided to leave (she was tired again)

This time, I will try to go for the 3 days, and if she wants to leave, theres nothing to do at the motel rooms, so it will all be good :P

You are my polar opposite on this show then, I've always hated Usopp, though I do admit that post time-skip Usopp redeemed himself somewhat. (the main thing I hate is that he has abandoned his friends on multiple occasions, but then the fight was brought to him or he had a ping of conscience, I just can't stand someone who would even think of leaving their friends in bad situations like that.)

My favorite is Sanji

Usopp to me is more of an ideas man, not a fighter, however if something were to happen, he wouldn't give up on his friends. Basically he knew the others could win and he is just weak, but would fight if he must. Look at the Alabasta fight with the mole-girl, he never gave up (though took the roll off of Chopper, though Chopper took it first)

But the Alabasta fight is exactly what I mean, I don't care that he is weak, and his ideas are great, but, when Chopper clearly stated I can't handle this alone, Usopp still left and Chopper got beat shitless for it. When Usopp's conscience won out and he went back, Chopper started crying saying he thought Usopp wasn't coming back. Only after all that did Usopp defend his friends and fight really hard.

that's what character development is and really he's pretty much the only one in One Piece that has it. Everyone else just gets stronger - Usopp changes as a person

They all have it, it just usually comes it short bursts, Usopp gets a constant stream.

I cant think of any examples. Zoro stays a strong swordsman who's loyal, Sanji stays as a pervert cook, Chopper remains a shy; sweet-loving doctor who cries a lot, Nami remains a bitch who has her cool moments every now and then, Franky remains as......Franky and Brook is pretty much just comedy material.

Zoro: had to put aside his prejudices against pirates when basically forced to be one. At first he maintains that he will kill Luffy if Luffy ever gets in the way of his dream, slowly becomes loyal and bonded to where when faced with that scenario, he defends Luffy.

Nami: also had to put prejudices aside, and started warming up to the group, allowed herself to have fun, and finally actually move on with her life as she wanted it once Arlong was taken care of.

Chopper: Thought he didn't deserve to have friends, learns otherwise and timidly embraces the concept. Struggles with the concept of being a monster and ultimately decides that for his friend's sake he can live with being a true monster.

Sanji: relies on nobody but himself due to guilt from a childhood experience, learns to trust other from Luffy, slowly embraces it, and ultimately gives Usopp a lesson on relying on other in his speech about each doing what they can for each other.

Franky: lives with reckless abandon despite that being what led to his mentor's death, doesn't let himself think about his action. Ends of fighting for the freedom of a woman who he grew up believing was the doom of them all. Starts to take responsibility for his actions and starts looking after the members of the straw hat crew.

Brook: puts everything aside in order to fulfill a promise which up until shown otherwise he had no real hope that he would fulfill it at all. Once he is shown the world isn't over he comes back to the present and starts to live again, even following his own dream, knowing that one day, he and his captain will fulfill their similar promises to Laboon at the same time.

For most of them though that's just what happens in their meet up; while it IS character development it's no where near on the scale of Usopp's

But zoro does have some goo character development I'll agree with you there

Yeah, that's what I meant by short bursts of character development, it shows and partially resolves an issue in their introduction, then during something major they usually show their true progress.

probably because he thought everyone was strong, and as Nami said to him, they are both the weakest on the team, so they need ways to stand up for themselves. Being truthful, I might have even run away in a situation like that, but if I then remember my friends there, I would go back for them, to help them. Its just the initial point of it all that scares you.

Truth is, I am like Usopp, well, before the timeskip, and I think thats why I like him so much.

Fair enough, and most of the time I can forgive that, but the Alabasta fight is actually the one that made me hate him, purely because Chopper clearly told him he needed him to win the fight, and Usopp still left.

but he did return. That spot was when everyone became stronger, and some realized their true worth. If Usopp didn't run away in the first place, he would have still run away all the time and left others behind.

True, but he still did after that, he didn't truly learn that lesson until the Water 7/ Enies Lobby arcs.

I still find him a fun character though, besides, he has a theme song too.

Okay, that was funny.

See? Without Usopp being the way he was, that would not have been possible xD

My favorite part was vengeful nami, she can be scary at times

I don't quite like Nami's post-time skip look, she just seems too... weird :c

You mean like a sex toy? It is an anime meant for guys so Oda slowly started drawing her with bigger, more exposed boobs. Post time-skip is when they said fuck subtly!

Random: Oh whats that? You are traveling through the grand line?
Luffy: Yeah, we are going to find the One Piece!
Random: Oh, I hope you know that the severe weather makes a girls breasts grow bigger with every island.
Nami: They'll WHAT!
Sanji: Oh Nami-swan, don't ever leave us <3

Pretty damn much! It wouldn't surprise me if you got that from the SBS corner, hahaha

SBS corner? Sorry, its late, im tired, and my minds being all stupid.

Sanji (whispering): so does this thing also make our Junk bigger?
random: DAMMIT MAN! This is a kids show, show some DIGNITY!

That is going off the fact that kids do watch it :P

From the Manga, Oda answers fans questions, and gives funny little scenarios all the time.

oooh, I only recently bought some mangas, and yeah, didnt know about them :P

i can never choose just one, so heres on of em

Well I didn't like him at all. He was such a dick, and had the power to be invincible, but underestimated the enemy.

I mean, wtf dude, you have the greatest power ever stop acting like an idiot.

Enel is my favorite as well. I didn't really like his smug attitude but I liked almost everything else about the character.

Last one

for me

has to be luffy

i tried to make gifs once, but i gave up as the quality is too bad

if not him then sanji

Him or Mr. 2

I only started liking him recently, I mean, he completely punked G5 all by himself.
