This is proof it wasn't a serious kick then. And thus, would not send Bulma flying either. Nami cannot ignore physics when hit or blocking like some of her crew can.

Chapter I-forget-the-number, Nami survives a headbutt from Ulti, one of the most physically threatening combatants in Kaido's crew, whose headbutts are said to kill a person instantly

I know, I was being generous going with Nami's first serious fight in the entire manga. It's just such a ludicrous question of who would win between Nami and Bulma. It's like saying who's going to win? Mike Tyson or some random toddler. You're putting a super powered person up against a non-super powered person, it's an inherently unfair fight. This isn't even me talking up Nami, it's just pointing out how just ridiculous the concept of this fight is.

YT doesn't have a full video of the fight, but it looks like most of Nami's damage is from falling all over the place cause everything is slippery. I only see a single poke to the shoulder and that seems to cause her immense pain. If Kalifa hit her a second time it was probably her still just toying with Nami to devastating effect.

Chapter 411, Kalifa either kicks or knees Nami in the head. Same chapter she stabs Nami in the shoulder twice sending her flying across the room. Bulma would be extreme dead at this point but Nami just gets back up. Nami then blocks a kick from Kalifa with her Climatact, an act that would send either Bulma flying, her climatact flying or both flying but Nami doesn't go flying, she doesn't even lose her grip on the staff.

Chapter 412 Kalifa stabs Nami in the other shoulder and then Nami ends the fight with a lightning bolt to Kalifa's chest.

This is pre-skip Nami and she's already performing super human feats that Bulma couldn't even dream of. This is ignoring the dodging that Nami was doing throughout the fight which Bulma 100% couldn't do either since Bulma would not be able to react or move fast enough to dodge anything Kalifa sends her way.

The idea that Nami is a normal human is frankly ludicrous, she only seems that way because the other members of the crew are just even more super human than her but if you put her up against a legitimate normal human like Bulma? I'm sorry but Bulma has nothing on Namis physical feats.

This shouldn't be a surprise, Bulma is in a fighting manga and is 100% a non-combatant. Nami on the other hand is in a fighting manga and IS a combatant even if she gets far fewer fights than the rest of the crew. I never thought I'd actually have to make a case for Nami being stronger than a normal ass human, it's crazy.

Pretty sure Kalifa avoided using physical attacks on her entirely until the very end of that fight because she wanted to play with her new powers. When she poked Nami in the shoulder that did some extreme damage to her.

Nami was hit at least 2 times as I recall which is 2 times more than Bulma would have survived.

Nami very much is a normal human. The Monster Trio of the Strawhats have their reputation because they're the three among the crew that aren't just normal people outside of having df, being a cyborg, or some legendary Fishman. That's why Nami and Usopp made a pact with each other so they can find ways to hold their own amongst the crew that don't involve being some sort of superhuman. Without her climatact Nami is just a regular person, same as Bulma.

She very much isn't a normal human, she's weak AF compared to most of the crew but that doesn't mean she's not super powered compared to actual normal ass humans. If she was a normal human she'd have been dead the first time Kalifa hit her back in Ennis Lobby.

Has she ever been shown absorbing/deflecting multiple bullets in a row? Bear in mind, the guns in One Piece are mostly age of sail weapons.

Because Bulma, again, has a MODERN fire arm, and has sufficient training to easily hit targets with it.

Please describe how she "beats modern gun with trained user." Or for that matter, how she would defeat time travel doing basically anything to prevent Nami from meeting Luffy.

Guns are not a normal piece of equipment for Bulma so I'm not sure why she suddenly gets one. Also just because she managed to hit Goku when he was a kid while he was standing stationary doesn't mean she has training to easily hit targets with a gun, probably because she knows as well as you do that if she's in trouble her best shot is not a gun but rather giving Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Trunks or Goten a call (all of whom would wreck anybody in One Piece.)

Point is this is a super human vs a normal human, safe money is on the super human. Bulma is just not a character designed for fights and that's perfectly fine, honestly her character would be kinda pointless if she was a fighter.

Both would use things they make themselves to fight. Nami has some magic sticks that can mess with air currents. Bulma makes/has access to space ships and time machines and submarines and all manner of such things.

Without prep time, it may be a stale mate unless Bulma is feeling cheaty and just uses the time machine to mess with history to prevent the fight from coming to pass, as Nami's abilities probably are not going to be very effective against most Capsule Corp equipment, and Capsule Corp stuff simply outclasses any of the Strawhat vehicles.

If no vehicles are allowed, but we say that the characters are in "to the death mode," Bulma just immediately pulls out a modern pistol and shoots Nami before she can reach her (which is pretty close to her initial reaction to meeting Goku the first time).

Most of the ways Nami wins is if Bulma just stays stationary without attacking because she doesn't realize its a fight yet (Nami's magic sticks don't really have a visible effect until one of those small cloud systems starts forming). And, in the event of vehicles, that we pretend Capsule Corp vehicles have none of the modern protection that vehicles have against lightning strikes.

Nami isn't some normal human while Bulma very much is outside of her intelligence. She's stronger and faster than Bulma. None of the Straw Hats are normal humans.

Nami would unquestionably win the fight. They both though are pretty much equally useful. Without Bulma there's no Dragon Ball, without Nami Luffy would have died long ago as he'd 100% have sunk the ship.

Basically, neither series would work without the other early on.

He clearly never offered the Dems anything like that and in fact when they actually got some tiny bit of bipartisanship going he raked the Dems over the coals. The only option available to the Dems was sending a message to the next Speaker, work with them or this is going to happen again.

I believe both Cruz and McCain were born on American soil.

Also, would the Founding Fathers fight a war, construct the Constitution and allow King George to run for President of the United States?

McCain as I understand was born on a military base and thus there was never any real question regarding him.

Cruz on the other hand was born on Canadian soil in Alberta, in a Calgary hospital specifically if I recall.

I'm aware of this specifically because on 261 I mentioned repeatedly that Congress REALLY should define natural-born citizen, I can't imagine they'd have much trouble getting consensus between Democrats and Republicans on that. Most reasonable people would think if a person qualified for American citizenship from birth then that would be enough for natural-born citizen.

edit:

Of course if Cenk actually does run this could get the courts to define it which would be fine because it really needs to be defined, however it really should be Congress that does it rather than the courts.

Now, to be fair? There's no actual legal definition for a natural-born citizen but that usually is used to question if noted Canadian Ted Cruz could be President or not.

Thing is Raphael Cruz may have been born in Canada but he did qualify for American citizenship from birth, thus the question regarding him. This is not the case for Cenk.

While I don't outright disagree with you as some named actors are just poor in voice acting roles some of my absolute favorite roles are things like Mike Myers as Shrek (and Eddie Murphy as Donkey) , Jack Black was absolutely awesome as Po and Kung Fu Panda as a whole did a great job with some Dustin Hoffman as Master Shifu and James Hong as Mr Ping and Ian McShane as Tai Lung.

Then they might have not been huge roles but you had very iconic voices like James Earl Jones being Mufasa in Lion King. The list goes on and on for me. There have been a lot of great voice acting roles from actors.

The thing is? Typically the actors that are actually good at voice acting actually have voice acting training or stage acting training. What's really needed is avoiding actors who only have screen acting training.
