General & Others Unpopular Opinions?

Devil's Child Nico Robin stood at the precipice's of distinction. Had she died during the Water Seven saga, the manga would've improved drastically as each character now knows the sting of loss and defeat once more. Not to discredit those backstories where childhood tragedies exist already, but for the entirety of the crew to strive to rescue their endangered and estranged ally, only for the clutches of the government to drive forward & extinguish Nico Robin's flames, would have only benefited One Piece. The maturity thrust onto the story & the changes to stem from it would provide the direly needed development for our favorite pirates.
wasn't this exactly why oda created Ace though?
but instead of the entire crew trying to rescue him, just luffy

Ace was treated as the unifying thread between pre and post skip, his death basically signed the second biggest twist in the manga after Roger's death, however it was Roger's words to sign it the first time and not just his death itself.

He already discovered that on Sabaody though.
But the point only got into his head when Ace died. Luffy even screamed that he was weak and needed to be stronger.

After Sabaody, he was still determined to rescue Ace from the bigshots, but after Ace's death, he finally realized how small he really was.

He knew he was weak but he still couldn't abandon his brother to his dark destiny
