I nearly shit myself when they took their masks off, was indeed not ready for that. CP9 are fucking insane. The whole thing with Usopp leaving the crew really made me depressed, now everytime he shows up I feel bad.

I don't think Franky will join Luffy since he is a supercarpenter and his personality is too strong, plus he probably wants to build up Franky Family again. Paulie is much more likely to end up with the strawhats. Wonder if his rope thing is some sort of devil-fruit power. I don't really remeber, have they spoken of some Rope Rope Fruit or something?

I was thinking the same thing about Sanji. I bet he will stop Robin or some such.
