I like how the Horu Horu no Mi is basically riding on my one second place vote (but I assure you, I can convince you all to vote for it some more).

sweetjacky if you want to advocate for the hie hie no mi, do it here… lol That being said, as cool as Kuzan is, I still like Toki’s fruit better but that could just be my desire to go to a time when things are better. I get that 70% of the world is water so the power to freeze is great but time is everything and if you can manipulate it, then you’ve got a power beyond powers. If you can awaken a time travel power, you can move the whole world or universe forward in time or selectively age your opponents by moving forward time in the space around them. Maybe I’m stretching things but I feel like the possibilities are endless.

> Maybe I’m stretching things but I feel like the possibilities are endless. You HAVE TO stretch things like GOMU GOMU NO ROCKETTOOO. Luffy will be proud :'D That said, I'll forever vote for Gomu Gomu no Mi no matter what it's against because it's part of my childhood (teenhood?). Lemme share the story since we're here discussing our love for the fruits. When I was in high school (that's when I used to watch One Piece like breathing air), during tests, whenever I didn't know the answer to an MCQ question, I used to "Gomu Gomu no G it is!" (which was the 3rd option - written with the the 3rd Bangla letter that sounds kinda like "go" xD) So whenever I choose, it will be "Gomu Gomu no Gomu Gomu no Mi!!!"

Hige, that was umm…. a cute story I guess? I have no idea what it has to do with the efficacy of the fruit but thanks for sharing why you voted for it. ^_^ Maybe I’m just the type to shake things up, so the Goro Goro no Mi is the one for me? I know, it’s not assigned to the protagonist and hasn’t been revealed to be a potentially super valuable fruit according to the WG but I don’t care. That last part could be a troll.

Ehehe I was just saying why it's precious to me /o/

> If you guys want to see the scores for the voting, here's a link to the BracketHQ page: https://brackethq.com/b/96zr/ very nice information! At least I know my fruits didn’t lose by much. I’m proud of myself for sticking with my votes. I am VERY thankful that we had an odd number of votes for the tiebreaker... otherwise I would have had to do a third round :

> Gomu Gomu no Mi (sorry @negatibuhige ) : : : Thanks for the detailed voting results. I think this was put in the new voting thread as well. Good to see how our favorites did :')

So like I love Whitebeard soo much (better character than Enel, IMO) but I still think that the Goro Goro no Mi is an OP fruit. Once you’re able to manipulate the electrical currents in your body, your nerves/brain will be able to develop so much more. If someone not super cocky and lazy had it, that fruit could lead to ridiculous power ups just by deciding to improve at strategy, languages, etc. Once the decision is made, he can focus on those areas (his brain can actually develop based on attention and training combined with the synapses) and they will get better. Basically his mantra was so great because of the fruit. So if he realized the need to improve or focus it elsewhere, then those abilities would be boosted. But I’m tired and rambling so I’ll stop now lol

Enel's fruit definitely seemed cool to me when I watched that arc but I never really thought about its potential for developing the body and intelligence. Then again, at that time, I didn't know these scientific stuff. Thanks for sharing this analysis, Witch-san!

The semi final is here! Vote - https://www.voidcentury.club/topic1935 The final four fruits have been decided after some very close ties (and some not very close ties), and this round we're saying goodbye to the Yami Yami no Mi, the Hie Hie no Mi, the Goro Goro no Mi, and the Jiki Jiki no Mi. Make sure your favourite of the remaning four takes the crown!

We're already at the semi-finals! Feels like this is ending too soon :

sweetjacky

When will the final be up? Also will be there a third place vote in the finals thread as well? Damn I'm sad my favorite Devil Fruit didn't even make it to the semi finals 😭

weebywitch

> When will the final be up? Also will be there a third place vote in the finals thread as well? These are some great questions! Marco Polo is sick right now but hopefully it’ll be up soon. ^_^

Marco Polo
