I thought the entire point of editors was to help make the story better.
I could imagine people would be enjoying the raid a lot more if we didn't have that awful stretch of chapters of Luffy just running for the rooftop just so Oda's editors could have their chapter 1000 milestone.
Like imagine if we got the rooftop fight shortly after the raid started, people would be losing their minds. We were fucking robbed of an actually good raid intro.
