Best Male Character, Leading Role- This actually has to be Zoro or Sanji. Cant decide which. Both have shown to be epic, and have proven to have haki! Zoro also fought alongside Tashigi so Zoro gets more praise.

Best Male Character, Supporting Role- Law! He's CUT THE ISLAND IN HALF! His DF was named and he gave us more info on Donflamingo.

Best Female Character, Leading Role- This is a tough one, but I suppose Nami for her speech in the Biscuits room (Im gonna save these kids!).

Best Female Character, Supporting Role- Hm, I guess Monet. Willing to DIE for Doflamingo, and can turn into an awesome snow monster. Pretty cool in my book.

Best Improvement, Male- Law I suppose, being as we barely knew anything about him in 2011, and in 2012 we learned he's became a shichibukai, got a new bounty, more about his DF, and he was once of Doflamingo's crew.

Best Improvement, Female- Tashigi. She started out being plain old Tashigi at the beginning of Punk Hazard, maybe a little stronger. But then she was shown to have Haki, and Rokushiki, and even worked with Zoro, her ....rival I suppose? She even made Law say a really cool quote, Weaklings cant pick their way of death.

Most Underrated Character- Franky by far. He was absent for most of the year.

Favorite Chapter- Chapter 690, SAD, or 677 COUTER HAZARD!
