Ayo Imma just say it how it is. One Piece has hit rock bottom. The whole Joy Boy inherited will-turned reincarnation with Nika intact is likely the start of what could very well be a bad ending.

Kaido could’ve been done away with the help of Zoro and Luffy potentially awakening but now we’re looking at Nika Soyboy mode Luffy , can’t make that stuff up in a fan fiction even if I tried
