I'm really loving the direction things are going in, both with Frankie turning out to be Not So Bad, and the fact that there's a spirit to the Going Merry that manifested for Usopp to see and hear. There's something very touching about all of this, and I'm fascinated to see what happens with this ship and what happens to Frankie.
Thank you all so much for listening!

In this installment of their adventures, our friends head to Atlantic City to celebrate Charmaine and Seanie's anniversary. Turns out there's some more lore about the vampires that we hadn't heard about, and their ancestral soil is actually important in this universe as well! But they aren't as careful with it as they should be, and Guillermo winds up going on a quest to replace it.
Thank you so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

So in these chapters we get a few further juicy tidbits about what happened at "Ground Zero" and I'm chock full of vague theories with no basis to them whatsoever. Also, we get info about the murder of Tara, which for some reason has gotten under Alex's skin and she's not sure why. And then there's the vague undercurrent of anxiety the comes from the fact that she's on academic probation and is desperately trying to hold on to her place at Yale.

These chapters concern the complete desolation wreaked by Cutanrovo and her so-called "Purification Packs", and then the restaurant war still going on between The Splendid Urn and The Treasure Chest. Cutanrovo has seemingly backed Tanvanaki into a corner, and we find out that poor little Mozo Mu is being blackmailed to participate in this contest. FUCKING HUTO.

So this is when we find out that Frankie is actually part of Icebarg's backup plan, and it has to be really embarrassing for Icebarg that Lucci figured it out like this. However, Frankie is off somewhere harassing Usopp so it remains to be seen just how CP9 is going to get the blueprints from him.
Meanwhile, Luffy punches ineffectually at iron bodies, and Chopper admires Zorro's iron body.

These are the chapters that tell us what happened all those years ago to cause Alex to fall apart. I was surprised to see what a supportive and loving mother she seemed to have, and I'm sure it broke her heart to watch her daughter start going down such a destructive road. Alex has had some truly harrowing experiences, and I'm not sure that Darlington is ever going to find out just how bad it really is.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to the One Piece Crew for commissioning this episode!
So this is the episode where we get the big reveal on who the CP9 assassins/agents are, and this is a genuinely surprising reveal. I wasn't ready for ANY of this, and I'm kind of delighted.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you all soon with a new episode!

In this installment of Goofy-Ass Pansexual Vampires, we get to see more about Nandor's romantic and sexual history. This time it's all about a woman named Gail who he has grown very attached to over the decades, but the same can't be said for Gail, who has her own whole thing going on.
Meanwhile, Laszlo finds his old jalopy and decides to take it back, with the help of Colin Robinson.

These episodes are the ones where the storm is ramping up, and Nico Robin finally tells Sanji and Chopper that she's a crimey criminal and she doesn't plan on coming back with them. Meanwhile, the whole city is trying to chase the Straw Hat crew and Frankie is going to go grip up poor Usopp AGAIN.

I'm kind of blown away at the direction this book is going, because there's a difference between "I'm not sure what to expect" and "There was no possible way to be prepared for the weirdness". And you know what? I'm into it.
In these first chapters, we meet Alex, who is attending Yale and can see ghosts. But she's not a Yale student who can also see ghosts; she's a Yale student BECAUSE she can see ghosts, and the shady organization at the heart of the school needs her. And turns out, she kinda needs them, too.
