Water 7/Enies Lobby reread.
Short writeup this time around, but rest assured, LOVED re-reading my favorite arc. It's SUPER! First, CP 9 rankings.
Kaku (I like Giraffes!) > Rob Lucci (Dark Justice) > Califa (How rude!)> Kumadori (YOYOI! Oh my dear departed mother...)> Fukuro (Chapapa!) > Spandam (Character I just love to hate) > Jyabura (Liar) > Blueno (No real lasting impression)> Nero (poor n00b)
Going Merry's death. Saddest Death? Nah, but sad nonetheless. Also, I don't get people who say Merry's just a boat. Merry's a SENTIENT being.
Awesome moments for everybody. Luffy being Luffy. Zoro totally the XO of the crew. Nami hugging the tree instead of the money and leaving Luffy and Coby to catch up is D'aaaawwww worthy. Usopp/Sogeking was hilarious and freakin' awesome, aww yeah burning the WG flag and sniping people on the bridge. Sanji getting massive smart points again. Chopper IS A MONSTER!. Oh god Robin's backstory, dammit Buster Call! Franky is SUPER!
From the betrayal to storming through Aqua Laguna to the Enies Lobby siege to return to Water 7, it's a great read from start to finish.
