This tournament seems nice and simple, so it ought to be a good watch, assuming the marines don't mess too much with it.
Disguises are wasted on Luffy. They only work as long as he doesn't open his mouth.
Who knows. To me it looked like the kind of verifying question stupid people would get tricked with. Asking something only a certain individual would know. If there's a reaction, the true identity is verified. The simplest form would have been to call Luffy's name from behind. I bet Luffy would have turned around, asking "What?".
So...are you and me the only people still watching this or what?
I watch it, it`s just that there`s always a period in every arc where things are being set up and when shit hits the fan, more people will talk in stage two I`m certain :P

Before this match started, I thought Bellamy is in fact unlucky here. One of his best bets is the combination of speed and power he gains from jumping around with his spring legs. However, this arena is working totally against him: It's utterly flat and the walls are beyond the borders of the arena, and thus won't help him gain horizontal acceleration. He's stuck with vertical accel from the floor and whatever little horizontal he manages to get by using simple friction from his boots. Anybody going outside of the arena will get immediately disqualified, even if they didn't drop into the moat but somehow managed to return. It might not matter so much right now against the small fry, but it ought to matter later when fighting against people whose skills and powers aren't hampered by the circumstances.
I was thinking the exact same thing, but they seem to be playing pretty fast and loose with physics to cover for the fact that that terrain would obviously suck for him.
To a lesser extent, yes. But even in the distant past Luffy has still shown lots of techniques that wouldn't require him to grab onto something, stretch, and jump. I suppose Bellamy is the same, possibly, but when he seemed to get serious against Luffy back during the Skypiea arc, he certainly relied on it. He must be a lot stronger now, though, but basics are still basics.
