Last 16: Match up 6!: Marco vs. Gol D. Roger
Playing Devil's Advocate here, but WB didn't beat Kizaru either - Kizaru just shot some lasers through him and stopped the shockwave. Kizaru is a lot stronger than people seem to think...Marco couldn't beat Kizaru, no way could he beat the Pirate King.
A > B and B > C doesn't make A > C, I just have to throw this out here.
We haven't seen Roger do anything and we don't even know how he defeated Garp, WB and so on. It could be like the way Shiki got defeated, even tho' it's unlikely, but we still don't know.
Personally I don't think Roger should have been in the Tournament from the start, he wins on his reputation and it may be with good reason, but we don't have anything as a ground.
Well, I don't want to waste Roger here. He had a long road too then suddenly lose because he didn't show anything. But isn't it fun to sometimes use imagination on how Roger could fight? Roger being equal against WB and they even fought several times but this was unseen. Here's some more of your A > B> C. Roger = Whitebeard. Whitebeard > Akainu > Marco. Mehehehe.This sums up perfectly why I voted for Marco. Luffy beat Enel not by strength, but by luck. Rubber > Electricity, and were Luffy to have any other fruit but the same strength he would have lost badly and died. Even in this tournament, Buggy beat Killer not by strength (It's buggy, seriously) but because his fruit is such a good counter. Luffy seems to be a lot like Roger when he was younger, and a lot of Luffy's matches have been either won or majorly affected by outside circumstances. We have no way of knowing if Roger was the same.
I think the point is brilliant, well thought out, and well described. Only problem is, as a massive football follower (and yes, I do mean the football that is more than 17 minutes of action) I have seen Pele play. I'd say Diego Marradona - hand of god aside - was a truly sensational footballer, but Messi I'd rate as better than Pele. Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't strike me as an incredible footballer, he's far far too arrogant and is convinced he's flawless.Man arguing like this is pointless. Lets compare one piece with football (soccer, how it is logically called in america, foot and ball = soccer)
Have you ever seen Pele in a match? I suggest no. You only heard of him that he is the best player of all time. Now you got someone like Messi or Christiano Ronaldo. Someone like Ronaldo or Zidane.. They all won every title you could win in the world.. Okay, except of C.Ronaldo and Messi. So now, does this make them weaker than Ronaldo, Zidane, Pele or Maradonna? HELL NO!
Only because Pele and Maradonna were once the best strikers in the world, they arent automatically better than Messi or C.Ronaldo. I even think that Messi and Ronaldo surpassed them. Same goes for Roger. He was once the pirate king, but nowadays, there are pirates who surpassed him. And Marco is WBs right hand, and deserves to get the chance to advance to the next round against a relict of an old era!
And unless like Pele or Maradonna, we havent seen anything of Roger, earning his title... Be fair and give Marco the chance, I appeal to your sanity!
Nah, you just want to vote Marco because you want to. You don't want to vote Roger because you don't know enough of him. Yes, Marco is good but I don't think he don't deserve it yet. And no, I don't know those silly soccer players. Since I only understood a bit, let's switch it to music. Nowadays, we like Pop because it's what we always hear but the old generation would prefer Rock because they knew how awesome it was. Therefore, we could say that Roger = Rock, Marco=Pop because of it's awesomeness.Man arguing like this is pointless.
