I actually came out of this pretty lucky with my skillups. The highlights were:
12/50 Zephyr - 2 Charge Special/5 Slots
13+/45 Gild Tesoro - MAX - 5 Bind/Despair/Autoheal and 4 Slots/Charge Special
9+/45 Carina - MAX - 5 Bind/4 Despair/5 Charge Special
3/7 Lao G - 2 more till max
3/11 Mr. 1
0/8 Gasparde - Fuck this guy
4/19 Koala - MAX
4/8 Shuraiya Bascud
5/18 General Hotdog
6/20 President Heaby
2/12 Needless
4/13 Vergo - 2 more till max
I'm feeling pretty damn good, all things considered. I only need 2 more skillups on Zephyr and I had some super good luck with Tesoro's skillups and sockets(a + means leftover copies for skillups). I figure I'll hit Zephyr hard enough today to max out his special, then worry about sockets next Tuesday when I don't have exams hanging over me. Tesoro went crazy well also and maxing him and Carina out could take as little as two runs. Although I'll go for a high end bet at it taking me 20 more copies to max him completely, I think that once either Carina is maxed or I only have one more socket to go, I'll call it good and get that last socket via tome. I'm super pleased with how Lao G, Koala, and Vergo went too. General Hotdog is useful as a conditional booster, so having him at 15 is also pretty great. Gasparde....fuck Gasparde >.>
Sadly not, I don't think there's been a chance to skill up GP Usopp since I started playing
