With each passing chapter, Oda literally cannot do a single motherfucking thing correctly.
There was absolutely no reason to send Lucci to Wano when he was already pre-occupied at Reverie. If the WG wanted CP-0 to claim Wano as their own, they could’ve just Den Den Mushi’d the Cipher Pol agents already present on Wano and given them that order.
But Oda had to send Lucci to Wano for no good reason except in a futile attempt to convince idiots that Wano is actually exciting by introducing a nonsense hype moment ALA “oMg LuCcI iN wAnO!!!” When the correct story decision was just to relay that order directly to the Cipher Pol agents already present.
But now we’re going to have to be fed some bullshit hype about how Lucci is going to be some ultra important member of CP-0 despite Lucci not being let into CP-0 until very recently, for no other reason except the readers are familiar with Lucci and Lucci serves as a callback to a much better arc.
Now CP-0 just feels like a bunch of static clowns who sit around doing nothing, waiting for popular characters to come in and move their side plots forward. This could’ve been a cool moment to develop the senior veteran members of CP-0 themselves, but Wano’s sales and reception have been so shit that the Shonen executives held a gun to Oda’s head and forced him to bring Lucci to Wano inspite of the fact that Lucci was already busy and we already had more senior CP-0 agents sitting around and twiddling their thumbs waiting for something to do.
Oda may as well bring the entire population of the world to Wano at this rate, I’m sure that would drastically increase OP sales in spite of how shit of a writing choice it would be.
