It isn't trash, it's just after 1000 chapters, we got bored of side characters, side fights, side plots, it's getting harder to enjoy it on a weekly basis.
We have our favorite characters and we want to see them shine.
I can still enjoy Luffy, Zoro and Sanji fight, that's a certainty and sometimes I can be surprised by some other fighters, like Killer, Jimbei or Law.
