Something like Sage mode could be the answer for Luffy to beat the Drawback of G4 though.

As example Jinbe absorb the water around him to attack(would watch Ace novel they explain it very good^^). Luffy waste his own haki to fast.

Result: His G4 runs out after a shorttime. We though adv haki could be the answer for the drawback but it even make Luffy state even worse(current chapter).

Do the best answer could be something like sage mode, absorbing aura/haki around the area, with would mean Luffy could fight so long as he want in G4 without the Drawback.
I see that being some kind of power for Green Bull. If the community is right and he has some kind of nature / plants power, i could see him sucking Haki from nature. That would also explain that thing about not eating maybe? the photosynthesis shit, but he can also do it with haki besides sunlight or something? i don't know :moonwalk:. Could be cool tho.

I respect your opinion. I'm not saying AoT is better than OP though, i just voicing more about my view on AoT in that post compared to my view about OP. I agree on many things you've pointed out, about shallow and boring characters and about how Oda can juggle so much more character compared to Isayama, character design, Oda's creativity and intricacies with world-building and ability building, that Isayama cant touch with his level of juggling, etc.

I also have similar view to you regarding inconsistency in each arc, we have explosive twists but we also have long boring and dull moments. It's just that i emphasize more about AoT's strong points in my post.

Such as story-driven or character-driven moments, imo OP don't have that level of twist, or if OP have those moments then they're not affecting the story as much as AoT's moments affecting the next story phase. Since the member asking hasnt read AoT, i try to explore / emphasize AoT's strong points in longer explanations than exploring OP's strong points.

Hmm how should i put this. AoT focuses on grand scheme of overall plot, the bigger picture, and imo its really succeeded in that regard. Especially with chapter 123, imo by dropping that chapter, Isayama did something that exceeded the readers' expectation regarding AoT's strong point, thats why im okay with mediocre moments AoT keep showing.

While OP focuses on many many things, so it tackles wider responsibilities to satisfy readers, and nowadays i feel like OP fails to do certain things like exceeding the readers' expectations in battle scenes or powerlevels for example. One of OP's main focus is battle scenes and powerlevel, so when Oda seemed way too invested in hyping everyone powerlevel-wise and he don't really give each hype the justice, my personal expectation to this aspect of OP keep decreasing. Since OP tries to focus on battle, but it keeps failing the hype it tries to build.

Not to take anything away from the magical world-building or thousands of characters Oda create with each powers and design of their own though, i really like OP as well with its various strong points, i just didnt explore it longer in the previous post.
Great response!

Sorry if my original post felt aggressive or offensive, i didn't mean too, i was having trouble sleeping (insomnia sucks).

I also get a bit heated with AoT, because i feel like Isayama made the manga with the intention of it being a mystery box and having darker and heavier plots, so i end up judging it a lot more than i do One Piece, because Oda came out writing a battle shounen for kids and then ended up making a lot of impressive stuff along the years.

Also, i can get a bit heated with One Piece critics, i feel like we got spoiled after 23 years of great story telling, especially us that follows the chapters / spoilers weekly, we can dissect every chapter so much we end up focusing on the bad, instead of the good. So when i do rewatches / rereads of One Piece arcs, i can only find myself enjoying it even more.
 
Right now I'm more curious about what's happening with Yamato than the roof. Of course I want to see Kaidou's hybrid form but the result of what's going to happen next is pretty obvious to me.

I'm pretty sure that the reason Oda made Luffy lose his haki and Kaidou transformed into hybrid form was to give us that sense of despair and we will see that despair in this chapter. That's why I see the SNs losing.
