Leeet's see:
 * Group 1 is completely chanceless. Bane Bane might get another round due to Bellamy's recent popularity but I wouldn't bet money on either of them.
 * In Group 2 Mera Mera and Yami Yami will advance. Doa Doa is a bit of a black horse but in the end it ain't likely to become #1 due to the user's lack of popularity. Mera Mera VS Yami Yami is tough but I suspect Mera Mera would make it since Ace is slightly more popular than Blackbeard.
 * Group 3 is a strong one. All of them might advance but I think Gasu Gasu and Hana Hana will fall first because nobody likes Caesar and in comparison to the Logias Hana Hana is pretty weak. Hie Hie VS Pika Pika is again a tough one. In terms of DF vs DF Pika Pika might win but it really depends on whether people will really only vote for the DFs themselves or for their users. In that case Kuzan might win.
 * In Group 4 Goro Goro no Mi has the most chances. Closely followed by Moku Moku. Too many people don't like Akainu to vote for him and nobody likes Moria, even considering Kage Kage no Mi would be ridiculous.
 * Nikyu Nikyu or Suna Suna in Group 5. Despite Bari Bari and Buki Buki having been seen more recently it is likely that people will stick to the "old" DFs. Going with Suna Suna on this one simply because the majority of the fandom (not just here but overall) seems to like Crocodile better than Kuma.
 * Group 6 is one odd bunch. Noro Noro most certainly won't make it. Suke Suke... well, a black horse but I wouldn't bet on it. Gura Gura VS Ope Ope really depends on the popularity of the user I'd say. I really don't know.
 * In Group 7 only Gomu Gomu has real chances. Mane Mani is too crazy for most people's taste, Doku Doku is likely to lose against some Logia and Yomi Yomi won't make it since there are so few Brook fans here.
 * Finally, Group 8 is a tough one because they are all meh. Hito Hito no Mi is the likeliest to advance.

In summary, Bane Bane, Mera Mera, Hie Hie, Goro Goro, Suna Suna, Gura Gura/Ope Ope, Gomu Gomu or Hito Hito. Of those, I'd pick Goro Goro because f*ck yeah, lighting bolts!

So, yeah, Goro Goro it is.
