That's Popeye.
Calmest man around.

Until youse insults 'is spinach or 'is goil.
then is coitains for youse.

Edit: i also like how you set this after the most recent Death Battle episode.

The man that beat Saitama

Edit: Also I love that fourth wall break joke
*throws a can of Spinach to Popeye.*

I was gonna do this for the contest! He's the only guy i know well enough to do a fic on... after reading your fic: c.tenor.com/U0D6jtPHPeEAAAAC/paz-white-flag.gif

Give it a try! Don't give up! Your story might be better than mine!

11139789
I shall. I hope you'll take a look at it when i do write it. My fics are completely ridiculous without trying, so if im actually trying... ;)

Oh, I'm Popeye the Sailor Man,
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.
I'm strong to the finich
Cause I eats me spinach.
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man!

I'm one tough gazookus.
Which hates all palookas,
Wot ain't on the up and square.
I biffs 'em and buffs 'em
And always out roughs 'em
But none of 'em gets nowhere.

If anyone dares to risk my "Fisk",
It's "Boff" an' it's "Wham" un'erstan'?
So keep "Good Be-hav-or"
That's your one life saver
With Popeye the Sailor Man.

I'm Popeye the Sailor Man,
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.
I'm strong to the finich
Cause I eats me spinach.
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man!

(For real though, as a fan of the sailor, you did a fantastic job capturing his personality)

That was my biggest worry. Thank you. <3

I love Popeye, he was literally OP before OP was a term.

Tosses Popeye a can of spinach

Everything seemed so tragic,
till he learned that Friendship is Magic,
He's Popeye the Sailor Man!
*Toot Toot!*

*tosses Popeye a barrage of spinach cans*

great job on story

This was quite spectacular. I for one wouldn't mind seeing ANY kind of continuation.

This is well-timed. because of his team-up with the Angry Birds.

11139943
he really is on a whole 'nother level of bullsh*t.

Popeye nodded, satisfied. “She insulted my goil now she ain’t in the world, thanks to Popeye the Sailor Man!” he sang, tooting his pipe twice.

One syllable too many, but otherwise, very well done.

Heh. He's like my sis.

“Guess they couldn’t ‘stick’ around, ‘wooden’cha know. Agahgahgahgahgah!” he said, chuckling at his own puns. He turned… and saw every creature in Ponyville staring at him in mute shock. “...What?”

Popeye, I thought you were all about spinach, I never knew you were so(puts on sunglasses) corny.

...

I'll go to my corner now. I'll leave you all with this.

Pretty good.

One nit to pick. He's used spinach to power up others. IMO he wouldn't hit Chrysalis, he'd have given spinach to the Mane 6 & let THEM hit her.

Oh & who was "the bald guy"? A goon? (In Popeye, Goons were a race. A very tough race.)

(tosses a few cans of spinach)
Hey, don't want to cause a paradox.

In any case, good bit of goofy fun. I'd complain about the cartoonish levels of villainy... but this is Chrysalis we're talking about. This feels entirely believable for her. And a fine bit of plausible deniability with the Caped Baldy. Thank you for this, and best of luck in the judging.

He may be a shorty, but he licked the forty!
He's the most remarkable, extra-ordinary fellow!
He's strong to the finich, cause he eats his spinach!
He's Popeye the Sailor Man!!!
*toot toot*

It's almost certainly Saitama, who he ended up on Death Battle against. (Toonforce was previously ruled ineligible, but how else are you supposed to compete with the One Punch Man?)

Heh...this was a fun read, amusing for the group to meet an classic toon.

oh and I must not forget *Holds out a can of spinach for Popeye to take*

11140066

Saitama. In Death Battles they fought, they broke reality a few times, and then Saitama got scrambled.

Sorry for the late comment, but I had to go to the market.

Good story, man. And if anyone deserved Popeye, it was Chrissy. Not that she'll have much to complain, not that she's good. Also...

*tosses Popeye the can of spinach he bought just for Popeye*

Absolutely brilliant! You wrote Popeye perfectly in character. The cartoon injuries from the fight were a nice touch, and I love that Tempest immediately got a crush on him! I think you've got a great chance at winning the contest.

11140066
I'm using the justification that Popeye openly fought the Sea Hag in one of his video games to show that even his chivalry has limits against female opponents.

I don't watch Death Battle too much, but when I learned they had Popeye on it? I had to see it. I used to watch those cartoons with my grandfather before he passed away, so it brought back fond memories for me. :)

Anyway, this fanfic? Absolutely effin' brilliant! You really captured the Sailor Man well. I love that in the end, he perplexes even Pinkie Pie.

Also, *Tosses Popeye some cans of spinach* Here you go, Popeye! Give old Chrissy one for my grandfather!

The broken-horned mulberry pony was gaining an almost lustful smile as she looked at Popeye, while the other gathered ponies, including a lavender winged unicorn and her friends, just stared in outright shock. Zecora had come to investigate when she saw the Timberwolves go flying, and was just as dumbstruck as the others, while Iron Will looked even more interested.

I never expected that reaction from Tempest.
Looks like she found a new crush.

11140435
Tempest always seemed to me like she had some Succubus energy...

Popeye checked his pockets for more spinach, and realized he was out. “Aw crud,” he said, turning to the audience. “If any of youse in the comments section have a can of spinach to spare for your old pal Popeye, I’d appreciate it!”

THE FOURTH WALL DAMN'IT!

*neverless toss Popeye a can of spinaches*

Someone's been watching Death Battle, I see!

Also, I would LOVE to see more of this!

I loved that you rememberd to write Popeye as what he is, a cartoon character.
The way he broke the fourth wall, sang his theme song and all the classic cartoon shenaningans he did was what made this story so great, heck he even manegd to confuse pinkie pie! and that's saying something.

11140435
IMO, there's a missed opportunity here. I can see Tempest liking a stallion who can kick ass, but I can't see her standing on the sidelines and sighing wistfully about it.

On the other hand, I can see her trying to keep Popeye from returning to Olive Oyl, as a sort of counterpart to Bluto. And then she follows him back to his world, meets Bluto, and now there's two knuckleheads trying to get Popeye and Olive to split...

Well, this was quite enjoyable!
*loads thirty pound field gun with #10 can of spinach*
Now, if you'll excuse me... FIRE!

Damn you, now I have the music from that show stuck in my head.

Great story. Really kept Popeye in character throughout.

I loved this, 'Tosses Popeye a can of spinach'.

This is hilarious! And Popeye is perfectly in character 😄

watch from the 5:37 'airdropping a lifetime supply of spinach'

This was a delightfully silly story.

The broken-horned mulberry pony was gaining an almost lustful smile as she looked at Popeye,

Oh, great. You just launched a new ship.

11140464
That would be a great idea for a sequel

And sure enough, out of nowhere (for Chrysalis), several cans appeared as if thrown to the sailor.

Huh. I would've thought for sure he'd have eaten one of the spinach puffs or something.

At any rate, great story! It really has the spirit of the old cartoons.

11141173
I wanted to work in one of the fourth wall gags Popeye uses sometimes.

(tosses a big can of spinach to popeye) to the best sailor man there is. beat the evil right out of her.

Ok I have to admit I was about halfway when I finally realised he was fighting Saitama at the beginning.

In this pony story-
There ain't no baloney
He's Popeye the Sailor Man!
*Upvote*

Popeye is great because he invented the anime mid-fight power up sequence.

Really funny story, felt very on brand for Popeye and had some great physical comedy.

Thank you so much for thus story
