I'm moving on to volume 44, and need to comment because swiss cheese brain will erase these thoughts too soon:

1. Rob Lucci does not deserve leopard spots. 5 out of 5 kuronekos agree. [Spoiler (click to open)]But OH! The scars in the shape of the World Government flag. DOOM! That can't be his tragic backstory. His tragic backstory had better not make me sympathize with him.

2. I am so glad I wasn't spoiled on the flooded underground passage reveal. (Is that clear enough for me to remember yet vague enough not to spoil anyone? I hope so.)

3. [volume 44 spoiler]SOBBING FOREVER. If I didn't already know Merry's fate, would this brave action have raised my hopes?

Eheheheheh. Wait 'til you see the anime version of Lucci's backstory. Every single gory detail is expanded to its full potential... and then some.

Aw! I am behind on reading/summarizing volume 44. I may have been dragging my feet on this one, because, er, reasons.

[Volume 44]
Rob Lucci's backstory only creeps me out MORE. I mean, sure, world government flag shaped scars, cool and all, but he KILLED 500 HOSTAGES. Yeesh.

I'm glad I kept the flooded underground passage reveal quiet! That one is so hilarious and random.

*sniff* Have you finished 44 yet? (I should probably point out that the end of 44 isn't a cliffhanger, it's a climax. The Post-Enies Lobby arc picks up in the next volume a day or two later.)

[volume 44 - do not read if you haven't read 44]I finished 44 by the time I edited my comment to include note #3. Even thinking about Merry's apology and desire to go on more adventures with the strawhats makes me cry while typing this. How can I love the Sunny after this?

Rob Lucci's backstory only creeps me out MORE.

That's why I'm thinking there has to be a different backstory coming up. One that explains how a 13-year-old becomes a coldblooded killer. Or are we done with CP9? Bye, Kaku. You're the only one we'll miss.

I've kind of slogged my way through the first two chapters of 45. Either I've caught your and w_10_00's springtime slump or I just can't embrace a denouement after Merry's funeral. Oh, except I applaud Iceberg's ambitious plans. Tom would be so proud. I'm sure the mouse is.

[44 out of place]
Uwa, I'm so behind! I am finishing up the summary for 44 now. I don't know if it was work/procrastination/or knowing what was coming at the end of 44 that made it hardest. :-(

But I am really looking forward to 45. I understand not wanting to move forward, but just wait. :-)
