HOMG Odacchi, I forgot how much I love you!!!

[gnine]

So, over the past few days, in between classes, homework and a party, I've been doing something I've been meaning to do for several years now: catch up on One Piece. (For the last four years or so, I've only been reading it intermittently...often while standing around in a conbini, flipping through the latest Jump and Shonen Magazine and oh look, another thing I miss about Japan! :-p) And now, 250 scanlated chapters later, I've just caught up and just...asldkjfalkdjfalkkdj!!! HOMG...the sheer epic-ness of it all!!!



...I...I...I don't even know where to BEGIN?! HOMG, WHITE BEARD!!!! AHHHH! *meep* That's a start! And oh god, poor Ace having to watch all his nakama and his ototo fighting (and some dying) for him and being able to do nothing!

And just...wow, the forces...on both sides!! Craziness! Epic battles are epic!!

And going back before that...Luffy, losing all his nakama before his eyes! OMG, that killed me in the manga, but then naye sent me that ep and just holy SHIT! Rip out my HEART, why don't you Tanaka Mayumi!!! And Oda, of course. Odacchi makes me cry like no one else. EVER! Over and over again. At that point, at Brook's story (HOMG, so saaaaaad) and losing the Going Merry (cried and cried over that...and I had already done so once before, in Japan. *that* chapter I didn't miss, even though I wasn't caught up at the time, I mean, it's the Merry!). How does he do it, time and time again?!

And meanwhile, I'm loving the current storyline but still wondering when we're getting all the nakama back. I mean...Luffy without his nakama is just tragic!

And how is this battle gonna END?! They're gonna save Ace, right? They'd better, I just...I just couldn't take it if they didn't! But really, I can't see Oda doing that to us....White Beard, on the other hand...I'm not so sure about! Oh god, that'll be awful! *whimper*


So...to sum up, I love Odacchi, my soul once more belongs to him and oh, can we have the next chapter NOW, plzkthnks!?!?!?!?


...also, I totally need to make some OP icons!

Nobody dies in One Piece! (This is such a credo for me that I find myself saying it while watching, say, Fullmetal Alchemist. In which people die all the time. Which makes me go ".....wait.... this isn't One Piece. Wah.") So I have really big hopes for Ace's rescue.

But what I really really really want to see is Luffy being reunited with his crew! I want it soooooooo bad! ^_^

Anyway, glad you've caught up on OP - it remains one of my favorite manga, ever, period. Which is scary. XD

...In the present, that is! ^_-(Cause man is it a blood bath in the past, all things considered 1^_-) But it's true and I hold very much to that same credo! He better not kill any of 'em...he just...he just CAN'T!!!

And yeah, reading it again has reminded me that it's one of my favorites ever as well! It's just so damn AWESOME! And cracktastic, and heartwrenching and epic and fight shounen and just...yeah...Odacchi, you're a genius! Truly!

Also *big glomp and huggles* cause it's been a while! How you been doing?

*glompback* I've been okay! Just, you know, working. Baking in the dessert. The usual, et cetera. Current obsessions are One Piece, D. Gray-Man, Peter and the Starcatchers, and possibly Merlin. Jury's still out on that one. XD

And okay, yes, admittedly people die all the time in backstory episodes. Just not in the *present*. And that's what's important.

....but I think he really might kill Whitebeard. Scary but true. ^_^
