I keep the folder read-only. XD
In all seriousness, I just have 'em on a shelf, in order.

Franky: I'm still basically a human!
Sanji: You're basically a pervert!
Franky: Oh, thank you, how thoughtful for you to say.
I think we're focused back onto Luffy for now.
Any aftermath for other characters (Croc, Buggy, Marco, etc.) should be handled via cover stories.
Perhaps Arlong himself will return? Not at the arc big bad, but maybe at least an appearance? Could lead to some interesting interactions between him and Jinbei, seeing as how Jinbei would side with Luffy almost certainly.
EDIT: Would be pretty cool if he was a lower level baddie and Nami was the one to beat him, as well.
Even if Brownbeard isn't going to be a main villain later on, he should fight Luffy or someone else in the crew, and be KO'd in 1 punch.
Usopp/Sogeking, anyone?
No I wouldn't, this is huge, I want Ace to stay dead. If Oda honestly revives Ace in ANY way at this point, as I said before I just would not be able to take this manga seriously.
I agree completely. To do that would completely drive home the point that every single one piece battle doesn't really net anything.
Though, I'm a touch sad about how the chapter was named. I think that if the title was "The Death of Gol D. Ace" It would have had more impact, as it would have shown that he accepted who he was, as well as quell all of this "HE MIGHT COME BACK AS GOL, LOL"
EDIT: I take that back. The only way I'd accept Ace coming back will be if he comes back as Portagaz D. Trace, then everyone in Marinford starts rapping.
You know, I would love to see Garp beat the tar out of Akainu.
Honestly, I'm pretty sure that the only reason that Garp isn't the Fleet Admiral himself is because he doesn't want to be, possibly compounded with age (Unlikely, as Sengoku is probably around the same age as him)
In Chapter 0 Aoikiji clearly asks Garp if he'll be an admiral, and he replies along the lines of 'what fun would that be?' I'm pretty sure Garp has the power and skill to take on any of the admirals, possibly even Sengoku. He was the only Marine who could match Gold Roger, after all.
It's a shame, really, since the only action we've seen from Garp (aside from that one punch to Marco) have been him throwing fights to Luffy. That's the one thing that bothers me about this arc, as I was looking forward to three Marines fighting styles to be showcased (Akainu, Garp, and Sengoku) and, honestly, we've only seen Akainu really strut his stuff.
