Just noticed something: volume 90 – it has a nice cover:
Luffy in the middle with all the characters from the “good” or “protagonistic” side of the story surrounding him - or at least characters who are depicted as being good. And with Wapol now also a good/redeemed guy (after the coverstory and now he is accompanying Vivi), there is only one person left, who is not “good”.
No seriously, look at the picture. Exept for Lucci, there is no one there, who was not in one way or another good or helpfull. Doesn’t this seem odd somehow? Why not insert Sai here instead? Or maybe Lucci is soon becoming a good guy?
Who knows ... .
And I think I'm just going to give it a shot and guess what will happen in the next few chapters: Lucci and Kaku will try to escape with Zoro dashing after Kaku and Luffy rushing after Lucci. And because Luffy is so exhausted he will have difficulties with this. Either way it could end in Luffy confronting Lucci - which I hope will happen - or with Lucci running off who knows where.
Anyway, as I said it is just a guess without any hints other than Luffy mentioning that he is exhausted and the eary shadows over Kaku's and Lucci's faces - I think they are awake right now and know Luffy is exhausted.
But we will see ... .
