Resolution criteria
This market will resolve based on a community poll conducted among Manifold users. Participants will vote on which character they believe would win in a hypothetical battle among all pre- and post-time skip opponents of the Straw Hat Pirates. The character with the highest number of votes will be declared the winner, and the market will resolve accordingly. If the "Other" option receives the most votes, the market will resolve to "Other."

Considerations
Participants should consider the following factors when making their predictions:
Power Scaling: The relative strength of characters varies across different arcs and contexts.
Abilities and Haki: The mastery of Haki and Devil Fruit abilities significantly influence combat outcomes.
Narrative Context: Some characters have been portrayed as nearly invincible within the story's context.
Community Perception: Fan opinions and interpretations may influence voting outcomes.
Given the subjective nature of this hypothetical scenario, the market will resolve based on the majority opinion expressed in the community poll.
